Loroña, a Realtor with My Yuma Realty LLC and a Yuma local. Most homes here are in non-gated subdivisions without homeowners associations, but there two gated subdivisions with HOAs: La Quinta, which has a community pool and clubhouse, and Barkley Estates, where most homes are custom builds. “People live here because it’s a nice neighborhood with well-built homes,” says Enrique Rascon, a Realtor with Exit Realty Yuma and over 10 years of experience.

Ranch-style homes along well-kept residential streets
Within Barkley Ranch's non-gated subdivisions, most homes are 21st-century ranch-style with Spanish Revival details like terracotta roofs and tan stucco exteriors, but there are also a few Pueblo-inspired homes. Both styles feature three or four bedrooms, as well as attached multi-car garages. “There’s pride of ownership here, and conformity among neighboring houses,” Rascon says. Though these non-gated subdivisions have no homeowners associations, neighbors keep their residential streets and sidewalks tidy. Loroña says that 6,000 square feet is a pretty average lot in Yuma, but Barkley Ranch lots range from 8,000 to 10,000 square feet; landscaping is generally either a manicured lawn or a rock garden with low-water plantings. These homes range from $350,000 to $500,000, depending on the lot size and number of bedrooms.
Two gated communities are set in the neighborhood's southeast. La Quinta's single-family homes are comparable in size, price and style to those in Barkley Ranch’s non-gated subdivisions; monthly HOA fees of $225 provide a security attendant at the gate, as well as access to the community clubhouse and pool. Barkley Estates' 21st-century custom homes typically have private pools and five or six bedrooms, with prices ranging from $600,000 to $900,000; monthly HOA fees of around $100 go toward neighborhood upkeep.

Kids run free at Barkley Ranch Park
“During the summer, you don’t see a lot of people out because it’s a thousand degrees, but for the most part, you’ll see people walking the dog or moms pushing the stroller,” Loroña says. At Barkley Ranch Park, kids can play on the playground or join pick-up games of soccer and frisbee on the grassy field. Two miles northeast, the 15-acre Yuma Valley Park is popular for its regulation-sized soccer pitches and dog-friendly fields. Four miles southeast, the public 18-hole Desert Hills golf course is known for its lush terrain dotted with palm trees and water hazards.
