Where to Get a Starter Home in Mesa

Starter homes in Mesa are still within reach, if you know where to look.

Here are a few areas worth exploring:

• Dobson Ranch: Mature landscaping, community pools, and close to freeways.

• Eastmark: Popular for new builds and community vibes with great walkability.

• Mesa Grande/Fiesta District: Closer to ASU Polytechnic and lots of local eats.

• Sossaman Estates & Bella Via: Newer homes, some still under $500K depending on size and finish.

Pro tip: Watch for price drops on homes that have been sitting a bit longer. Some sellers are more willing to negotiate than they were a year ago.
