Eastmark Recognized as a 50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the United States

July 2019 | Related Categories: What's New

Where to Retire reveals Eastmark was selected as one of the “50 Best Master-Planned Communities in the United States,” in the July/August issue. The list is the only one of its kind, focusing on communities rather than locales and featuring first-person testimonials by current residents.

Eastmark, in Mesa, is one of seven master-planned communities in Arizona to be recognized this year. Residents of the all-ages community spend days swimming at a resort-style pool, picnicking at one of the 40-plus parks or grabbing burgers and shakes at a refurbished 1940s diner. Encore, the age-restricted neighborhood, offers its own amenities and an activities director. One resident said the community “feels like such a wholesome environment.”

The selected 50 best master-planned communities showcase the variety of housing options and amenities that enrich the lives of relocating retirees. “Moving after retirement doesn’t mean just a new home; it means a new life,” Where to Retire editor Annette Fuller said. “Yes, each of our 50 communities builds attractive homes, but they also nurture new friendships. Most developments offer trails, sports courts, fitness equipment, restaurants, pools and more. The settings are gorgeous, near mountains, oceans, rivers, lakes and low-humidity deserts. Climates generally are mild, allowing daily communes with nature.”

Nearly a year ago, editors began gathering and evaluating information on hundreds of communities, but chose only established neighborhoods with enough acreage to build at least a year’s supply of homes. The communities come from 17 states. Florida has nine of the winning 50 communities, followed by North Carolina with eight, Arizona with seven and South Carolina with five. Home prices begin in the $120,000s and go upward of $3 million; 35 communities on the list have homes that start at less than $300,000. Almost half of the neighborhoods are age-restricted or age-targeted while the rest are all-ages. The communities are not ranked; rather, they are listed alphabetically by state and then by development name.

As the authority on retirement relocation since 1992, Where to Retire has covered hundreds of the best retirement regions, towns and master-planned communities. The magazine is published six times a year and has a national circulation of 200,000.
