ABOUT
Fountain of the Sun
This guard-gated community offers 24 hour security, friendly, down-to-earth residents, a wide variety of activities and amenities, and affordable living in manufactured homes, regular houses, patio homes and townhomes.
Overview
The 582 acre Fountain of the Sun 55+ retirement community in Mesa, Arizona was originally a cotton farm, and the community was conceived and developed in the early 1970’s by the now defunct builder UDC Homes.
The community originally offered manufactured home lots, as well as regular homes built by UDC, and later added patio home and townhome neighborhoods, most with their own pools.
In 1972, UDC opened the Fountain of the Sun golf course to attract potential buyers to a lifestyle community that surrounded the lush 18-hole executive par 62 course.
Real Estate at Fountain of the Sun
A variety of home styles and floor plans are available, including manufactured homes, detached single-family homes, patio homes and garden townhomes. HOA fees vary by the type of property.
Single family homes were mostly built during the 1970’s and would need some updating to satisfy the needs of today’s retirees. Some of the houses are being remodeled and updated, so you might get lucky and find a home that has already been renovated.
