Residents also share access to a community center and swimming pool. About 3 miles away, San Tan Mountain Regional Park is popular with nature lovers for its scenic desert views, dirt-packed multi-use trails and native wildlife, like black-tailed jackrabbits and Sonoran Desert toads. “Hiking by the San Tan Mountains is one of the activities I recommend to my clients—it’s beautiful,” Murphy says.Community events for locals
The local HOA sponsors neighborhood events throughout the year, like garage sales and art nights at the community center. The semi-annual San Tan Heights Craft Fair at Mountain Vista Community Park is a highlight, where folks can shop with local vendors and artisans. State 48 Theatre Company is also in the neighborhood, and the company puts on plays, musicals and recitals throughout the year. Kids can sign up for classes with the company, and community members are encouraged to audition for new shows. Locals may also sign up for ranger-led hikes through San Tan Regional Mountain Park.Retail and restaurants close to home
Pavilions at San Tan Heights, a retail plaza, borders San Tan Heights and offers Walmart, Goodwill and several chain restaurants and small businesses, like hair salons and specialty stores. For no-frills, authentic Mexican cuisine, Los Favoritos is a local go-to for tacos and breakfast burritos. Angry Crab Shack serves up cocktails and Cajun-style fare, including seafood boil dinners by the pound. There’s also San Tan Heights Towne Center, with a Walgreens and a handful of small businesses. For an evening out, Murphy recommends San Tan Flat, about 3 miles away, an Old West-inspired eatery with a comfort food menu, lots of outdoor seating, and live music on the weekends.New homes built over the past 20 years
Set along sidewalk-lined streets in planned subdivisions, San Tan Heights’ homes have been built since the early 2000s and are generally new traditional Spanish-style, with red clay-tiled roofs, exterior archways and painted stucco facades. Residents are part of the local homeowners association, whose monthly dues of about $100 grant access to the neighborhood’s shared spaces. Homes here have three to five bedrooms and sit on lots ranging from 5,000 to 65,000 square feet with 1,500- to 3,500-square-foot layouts; yards with desert landscaping are standard, many dotted with shade trees and low-water plantings, like agave and cacti. Prices typically range from $350,000 to $700,000, depending on size, though custom homes with acre-sized lots in the neighborhood’s south range from $900,000 to $1.5 million. Pools are popular additions that can raise the price of a home. “Private pools are common everywhere because it’s so hot in the summer," Murphy says. "It’s a great way to cool off and have pool parties on the weekend.”Getting around from San Tan Heights
