Encore at Eastmark is a 55+ master-planned community set inside the 3,200-acre Eastmark area in Mesa, Arizona, and you'll find about 970 single-story homes here, most with Spanish-style tile roofs and desert-inspired exteriors, many offering two to four bedrooms, two to two-and-a-half bathrooms, and two or three-car garages. The homes range from about 1,339 to over 3,200 square feet, and some have water or lake views, private courtyards, bonus rooms, and owner's suites with dual vanities, spa-style showers or tubs, and big walk-in closets, and they're all designed for easy living with open layouts and direct access to outdoor patios or living areas, which fits the Arizona lifestyle pretty well. Residents use the 15,000-square-foot Encore Club, a main clubhouse with a fitness center, movement studio, billiards room, craft studio, library, classrooms, a café named Proving Grounds Café, and event spaces for social gatherings, so there's plenty of room to keep busy or join a club. You'll also see outdoor amenities like a beach-entry pool, fire pit, outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce ball, walking and biking paths, a golf course, and even a dog park, with walking trails leading near the Superstition Mountains, so there's always something going on for folks who want to get out. The community's daily life runs on a full calendar planned by the Lifestyle Director, offering things like yoga, art classes, game nights, culinary events, holiday parties, movie nights, and social groups for card games, pet ownership, or outdoor clubs like walking, biking, or horseback riding.
Encore at Eastmark provides services like housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, family support, a 24-hour call system, supervision, help with daily needs, medication management, non-ambulatory care, and memory care for those who need it, plus there's all-day dining with meal choices for allergies or special diets, a café, and restaurant-style meals so residents don't need to cook if they don't feel like it. Homes feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air-conditioning, so basics are covered and comfort comes first. The community offers both independent and assisted living, and people can get respite care if needed, while homeowners' association services keep things tidy and the grounds professionally maintained.
There's an age-restriction in place, so only adults aged 55 and over live here, and the neighborhood stays safe with a gated entrance and anti-spam, anti-crawler measures on their website, though you'll need JavaScript for online services, and the staff encourages residents to join committees and contribute ideas to improve community life. With a focus on resort-style living, Encore at Eastmark has amenities including a community center, outdoor common areas, parks, gathering lawns, event spaces, a relaxing patio, fire pits, and a recreation center, plus a state-of-the-art amenity center for fitness, crafts, clubs, and therapy spaces. Security and support stand as a theme, and the place is close to shopping, cultural activities, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, golf, and natural attractions. The homes are sold out now, but people still enjoy a lively and supportive neighborhood set up for the active adult who wants both freedom and a sense of community.
