Mountainbrook Village is a quiet, well-maintained 55+ community at the base of the Superstition Mountains, about 30 miles to the east of Phoenix in southern Arizona. The development was built by Shea Homes and UCD primarily during the 1990s.
There are 1,660 dwellings clustered into various neighborhoods. Exteriors for both the single family homes and “casitas” (duplexes) are a light colored stucco with a tile roof. All properties are single story and have 1,400 square feet to nearly 2,500 square feet with at least a two-car garage (more expensive homes have an extended garage).
A patio (or two), tall windows, arched doorways and tile floors are standard, as are mountain and golf course views. Landscaping consists of decorative rock, cactus, oleanders and other drought-tolerant shrubs and trees.
Prices start in the mid-$300,000s. Please check with a Realtor to verify these prices as they will change. HOA fees range from less than $100 per month to the $200s or so depending on the home and cover landscaping, exterior painting and more.
