Gilbert Arizona's Top Neighborhoods at Every Price Point

The Ultimate Gilbert Neighborhood Guide: Best Places to Live at Every Price Point

Everyone seems to have a certain image of Gilbert, Arizona: it’s either affordable starter homes or million-dollar luxury estates. But that’s far from the full story. Gilbert is a diverse, fast growing community with neighborhoods that fit nearly every lifestyle and price range from under $500,000 gems to multimillion dollar estates surrounded by lakes, golf courses, and farmland charm.

After digging deep into Gilbert’s housing market, census data, and community trends, local real estate expert Cole Rep mapped out Gilbert’s top neighborhoods across four distinct tiers, affordable, mid-range, upper mid-tier, and prestige luxury. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or relocating for a more elevated lifestyle, there’s something here for everyone.

Tier 1: Affordable Gilbert Living (Under $500,000)

Lyons Gate

Lyon's Gate is one of those hidden gems that delivers serious value. Despite its affordability, it offers the feel of a high-end master-planned community with three community pools, walking trails, and several parks. Homes here often come just under $500,000, making it a fantastic option for buyers who want the Gilbert lifestyle without stretching their budget.

Its location is unbeatable right next to Agritopia’s Epicenter, Joe’s Farm Grill, Barnone, and quick freeway access via the Loop 202. You’re also minutes from SanTan Village, giving residents a blend of suburban comfort with urban convenience. Families and dog owners especially love the area’s proximity to Cosmo Dog Park.

Cooley Station North

Another standout in the affordable tier is Cooley Station North, a modern, low maintenance neighborhood with parks, greenbelts, and a community pool. Median home prices hover in the high $400,000s, making it one of the last strongholds for sub-$500K housing in Gilbert.

Residents enjoy newer construction, contemporary layouts, and a prime location close to Topgolf, SanTan Village, and the Agritopia corridor. It’s perfect for anyone who wants move-in ready convenience without Scottsdale-level pricing.

The tradeoff in this tier? Smaller lots; typically around 4,000 to 5,000 sq. ft. But in return, you get huge lifestyle value and strong long-term appreciation.

Tier 2: Mid Range Gilbert Homes ($500,000 – $750,000)

This is where Gilbert starts to show off its suburban charm, larger homes, bigger backyards, and communities filled with amenities.

Power Ranch

One of Gilbert’s most beloved master-planned neighborhoods, Power Ranch is practically a small town within a town. With two lakes, miles of trails, multiple pools, and tons of community events, it’s designed for families who crave connection and outdoor living.

Median prices sit in the low-to-mid $500,000s, though some homes can climb into the 600s. You’ll also find on-site schools, sport courts, and neighborhood clubhouses that make Power Ranch a long-time favorite for families who want room to grow.

Finley Farms

For those who prefer a more established, tree lined community, Finley Farms offers a peaceful suburban feel just minutes from Downtown Gilbert’s Heritage District. Median prices are typically in the upper $500,000s to low $600,000s, and homes sit on larger lots than most new builds.

With its proximity to nightlife, dining, and easy freeway access via the Loop 202, Finley Farms is perfect for buyers who want space and a mature neighborhood atmosphere even if it means skipping the master-planned amenities of Power Ranch.

Power Ranch gives you activity and amenities. Finley Farms gives you space and tranquility. The best choice comes down to lifestyle.

Tier 3: Upper Mid-Tier Gilbert Homes ($750,000 – $1 Million)

Now we’re getting into Gilbert’s luxury lifestyle, think waterfront homes, golf communities, and resort-style amenities.

Val Vista Lakes

Built around a network of beautiful lakes, Val Vista Lakes feels like a vacation destination. Many homes sit directly on the water with private docks, and residents enjoy access to an impressive clubhouse featuring a sandy lagoon pool, tennis and racquetball courts, and a fitness center.

Median prices fall in the mid-to-high $700,000s, while premium waterfront homes can reach or exceed $1 million. Its location near US-60 gives residents easy access to both Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Seville

For golf enthusiasts and country club living, Seville is the premier choice. Centered around the Seville Golf & Country Club, this gated community offers a full social calendar from wine nights to tournaments and family events.

Most homes range from the mid-$700,000s to high $900,000s, with larger golf course estates pushing past a million. While it’s located a bit further south, adding about ten extra minutes to the freeway, the country club lifestyle more than makes up for it.

Val Vista Lakes = quick commutes and lakeside living. Seville = golf, exclusivity, and community culture.

Tier 4: Prestige Luxury Gilbert Homes ($1 Million and Up)

At this level, you’re not just buying a home, you’re investing in privacy, lifestyle, and legacy. Gilbert’s luxury tier is diverse, offering everything from sprawling estates to walkable, design-focused communities.

Circle G

An established luxury enclave dating back to the 1980s and 1990s, Circle G is known for its custom-built estates on half- to full-acre lots. Many homes include RV garages, guest houses, and even horse privileges.

Prices typically start around $1 million and climb well into the multi-millions for newer custom builds. If long-term value is your priority, acreage in Gilbert especially in Circle G remains one of the most stable investments around.

Whitewing

Whitewing represents the modern face of Gilbert luxury. These guard-gated communities, like Whitewing at Germann Estates and Whitewing at Higley, feature sprawling 4,000–7,000 sq. ft. homes with resort-style pools and seamless indoor-outdoor layouts.

Homes range from $1.5 million to over $3 million, attracting relocation buyers from California and North Scottsdale who want high-end living without the traffic or price tags of Scottsdale.

Agritopia

And then there’s Agritopia, one of Gilbert’s most iconic and unique communities. Built around a working urban farm, it offers a mix of walkability, charm, and community spirit you won’t find anywhere else in Arizona.

Homes feature tree-lined streets, front porches, and tucked-away garages, creating a warm, small-town vibe. Larger models with basements or guest houses now exceed $1 million, especially those near Epicenter and Joe’s Farm Grill.

Agritopia isn’t just a neighborhood, it’s a lifestyle. A perfect blend of community, creativity, and connection.
