There are approx 10 subdivisions in town. here is the low down


Rancho El Dorado- The 1st subdivision built in Maricopa. The homes there are older (built in 2003). The subdivision has been completed for a couple of years. Rancho has a lake, nice playground, palm trees, parks and fountains. Rancho is home to the only public golf course in Maricopa. Many of the homes in the area are shortsales or foreclosures.

Villages at Rancho Eldorado- The subdivision has the only fitness center in town. Small gym, pool, lake, parks and more. The sub has been sold out for about 2 years (There were 2 builders there 2 months ago, but they went out of business)
Many of the homes there are short sales and foreclosures. Builders... DRHorton, Canterra, Hacienda, Centex and a few others.

The Lakes at Ranch El Dorado- Still new builds here. There were 2 builders, but hacienda builders closed their doors, so only 1 remains. The homes are built on a parcel that has a man made lake winding through the area. Bad news is to purchase a lot that backs to the lake will add $30,000-40,000 to the price. Builder... Meritage Homes

Cobblestone- The builder is still building here, but in my opinion, the builder hasn't gotten aggressive enough with the prices. The smallest homes start at $169,000 which is a little high for the market. Amenities include a pool, playgrounds, softball, basketball court. This subdivisions is the closest to Chandler and Phoenix. It is only 3-4 minutes closer, but if thats important to you... Builder- Fulton Homes


I will profile a few more subdivisons on the 5th!
