Cadence Homes for Sale in Mesa, AZ

Cadence, also called Cadence at Gateway, is a master-planned community in southeast Mesa, ZIP 85212, just north of State Route 24 between Ellsworth and Crismon roads. It has newer single-family homes built from about 2019 on, and its center is The Square, a community hub with pools, a fitness center and event space.

I help buyers and sellers in Cadence and the rest of the Gateway area. Cadence sits right across the street from Eastmark, so many of my clients compare the two. Below is what I verified about where it is, the homes, the amenities, schools and HOA basics, plus what I watch for when you buy or sell here.

Where it is

Cadence is inside the City of Mesa. Local news describes its edges as State Route 24 on the south, Ellsworth Road on the west, Ray Road on the north and Crismon Road on the east. The main entrance is Cadence Parkway, off the southeast corner of Ray and Ellsworth, where a small retail center sits at the front of the community.

Eastmark is directly across the street. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport and ASU's Polytechnic campus are nearby on the old Williams Air Force Base land, and Apple's Mesa data center is on Signal Butte Road. SR 24 connects west to Loop 202, so the Santan Freeway is a short drive for trips toward Gilbert, Chandler and Phoenix.

The homes

Harvard Investments bought the land and planned Cadence as a community of about 2,000 homes, mostly single-family, plus some multifamily and land for shops. The first models opened in 2018, and most homes I see listed were built from 2019 through 2023. Toll Brothers announced its final homes in 2023, and I did not find a builder still advertising new homes in Cadence this year, so today you are mostly looking at resales.

Each builder brought its own style and size range:

Pulte: three series of one- and two-story homes, roughly 1,800 to 3,700 sq ft.
Gehan: one- and two-story homes, about 1,900 to 3,200 sq ft, on 53-foot-wide lots.
David Weekley: one- and two-story homes on 58-foot-wide lots near The Square.
Lennar: the largest share of the later phases, with single-story and two-story collections from about 1,700 to 2,700 sq ft, including NextGen plans with a separate suite.
Maracay: two-story homes, about 1,850 to 2,500 sq ft.
Toll Brothers: four neighborhoods of larger one- and two-story designs; Toll announced its final homes in 2023.

There is also a gated neighborhood of single-story rental homes and an apartment section. If you are buying, MLS listings use several plat names here, such as "Cadence at Gateway Phase 2 Parcel L" or "Parcel C at PPGN," so I search all of them to catch every home.

Things to do

The Square is the center of the community. It has a community center of about 12,000 square feet with a cafe-style lounge, a fitness area with yoga and spin rooms, and an indoor and outdoor event space. Outside are a resort pool with two slides, a lap pool and a spa pool, plus tennis, basketball and bocce courts, a sports field, a dog park and barbecue and fire pit areas.

The developer lists 13 parks, and the community was planned with a network of walking paths so that homes are close to a park, trail or The Square. For more outdoor time, Usery Mountain Regional Park is to the northeast and the Superstition foothills are to the east.

Schools

Cadence is served by Queen Creek Unified School District. The district's Silver Valley Elementary is inside the community on East Toledo Avenue, and the district's Eastmark High School is on East Ray Road nearby. Listings do not agree on the middle and high school for every street, so confirm boundaries with the district for any address. See my pages on homes near Silver Valley Elementary and homes near Eastmark High School.

HOA basics

Listings show the association as Cadence at Gateway or Cadence HOA. The HOA runs The Square and the common areas, and some neighborhoods may have extra rules or fees on top of the master association. Ask for the CC&Rs, design rules and any transfer fees early in escrow.

Cadence was the second community in Mesa to use a community facilities district, a special district that helps pay for roads, water lines and other infrastructure through a line on the property tax bill. Look at the current tax bill for any home you are considering so you know what is included.

Buying in Cadence

Airport disclosures: Cadence is inside the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport overflight area. Mesa's airfield overlay rules call for buyer disclosures and avigation easements, so expect aircraft overhead. Read the disclosure and drive the area at different times of day.
Compare builders and lots: two homes with similar square footage can sit on very different lot widths, with different builder features. I compare those along with price.
Solar and NextGen plans: ask whether solar is owned or leased, and whether a NextGen suite has its own entry.
Financing: some homes here have FHA or VA loans that a qualified buyer may be able to take over. See assumable mortgage homes in Arizona and first steps to buying a home in Arizona.

Selling your Cadence home

Buyers in Cadence often compare your home with Eastmark resales and with new builds farther east. Pricing it the way an appraiser will see it, and showing off upgrades, lot position and nearness to The Square, matters. Read how to price your Arizona home to sell, or call me for a pricing plan.

Questions buyers ask

Where is Cadence in Mesa?
Cadence is in southeast Mesa, ZIP 85212, north of State Route 24 and south of Ray Road, between Ellsworth and Crismon roads. The main entrance is on Cadence Parkway near Ray and Ellsworth, across the street from Eastmark.

Can I still buy a new home in Cadence?
Probably not from a builder; I did not find any builder still advertising new homes in Cadence this year, so most homes for sale are resales. I check with builders for any last homes when you are ready to look.

What school district serves Cadence?
Queen Creek Unified School District serves Cadence, and its Silver Valley Elementary is inside the community. Middle and high school assignments vary in listings, so confirm the address with the district before you buy.

Will I hear airplanes in Cadence?
Yes, at times, because Cadence is inside the Gateway airport's overflight area. Mesa requires disclosures for these homes, so read them and visit at different times of day to see how it feels to you.

What makes this home different? It's the kind of floor plan you don't realize you've been looking for until you walk into it. And when you combine that with the location, this one really starts to stand apart. Right when you walk in, the home feels intentional. You have a beautiful formal dining room with a tray ceiling, plus a private den that gives you a dedicated office without sacrificing a bedroom. Then you hit the great room, and THIS is the moment. The soaring two-story ceiling immediately makes the home feel open and impressive, while the cable-rail staircase adds a modern architectural touch. But my favorite feature is the stacking glass corner wall. An entire corner of the room opens up and practically disappears, connecting the great room to the covered patio and backyard. Open those doors and you don't just have a living room anymore. You have one huge indoor/outdoor entertaining space. And in Arizona, where we get months of beautiful weather, this is exactly the kind of feature you'll actually use. The kitchen was designed to be part of it all. A huge granite island, with espresso cabinetry extending almost to the ceiling, a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, an enormous walk-in pantry, and a bright breakfast nook overlooking the backyard. And here's another reason this floor plan works so well: there's a complete bedroom suite downstairs. Not just a bedroom near a bathroom. This one has its own private bathroom AND walk-in closet, making it an incredible setup for guests, or multigenerational living. There's also a powder bath, dedicated laundry room, and separate mudroom/drop zone right off the garage. Upstairs, the floor plan keeps delivering. Instead of a little leftover loft space, you get a HUGE second living area surrounded by windows on three sides with views of the Superstition Mountains. Movie room, game room, flex space, you actually have enough room to make it whatever works for you. The primary suite feels like a true retreat with a tray ceiling, dual vanities, an oversized tiled shower with a rain shower head and bench, and a walk-in closet and a generously sized walk-in closet. There are Two additional large bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the upstairs. Outside, the work is already done. You have an extended patio, low-maintenance turf, mature shade trees, block-wall privacy, plus a 3-car garage, water softener, and dual-zone AC. But the LOCATION might be the cherry on top. You get the privacy of your own backyard while being close enough to actually see the community pool from your front door. And living in Cadence at Gateway means you have access to a resort-style pool with dual waterslides, lap pool, spa, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, sand volleyball, basketball, playgrounds, ramadas, and miles of trails. You're also just minutes from the 24 and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. This isn't just a big house. It's a house where the space actually makes sense.
