Gilbert is a large East Valley town known for family-friendly neighborhoods, parks and a growing dining scene. It is one of the Valley's most popular places for families, and it is close to Chandler, Mesa and Queen Creek. These are the newest homes for sale in Gilbert listed in the MLS as condos, townhouses, patio homes, twin homes or lofts. Attached homes can be a simpler way to own, with the association handling some exterior maintenance.
With a single-family home you generally own the lot and are responsible for the exterior. With a condo or townhome you usually own the unit and share ownership of common areas, and the association takes care of items like landscaping and building exteriors. That trade-off usually comes with monthly dues and a set of community rules, including rental and pet rules.
Ask for the HOA documents, budget and reserve information early, and confirm the building meets the requirements of the loan you plan to use.
Every purchase is different, and I'm a strong negotiator who keeps negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands. On some homes you may also be able to take over the seller's existing FHA, VA or USDA loan; see my assumable mortgage guide.
Where is downtown Gilbert, and what kind of housing is there?
Downtown Gilbert is the Heritage District, the town's original townsite along Gilbert Road, with the Western Canal passing through it. The town describes it as about 0.3 square miles with a mix of shops, offices, education and housing. Heritage Park, at Gilbert Road and Juniper Avenue, is adding a five-story rental apartment building, and the town council has recently raised the district's height limit to 75 feet.
Is parking free in downtown Gilbert?
Yes, public parking in the Heritage District is free, including two parking garages, surface lots and on-street spaces. The garages and lots sit on the side streets east and west of Gilbert Road, including the Hearne Plaza garage off Vaughn Avenue and a public lot on Vaughn Avenue just west of Ash Street. If you are buying a condo or townhome nearby, confirm how many assigned or garage spaces come with the unit, since public parking is shared with visitors.
Can you take a bus from Gilbert to downtown Phoenix?
Yes, Valley Metro's Route 531 Mesa/Gilbert Express starts at the Heritage District park-and-ride at Page Avenue and Ash Street and runs to downtown Phoenix on weekday mornings and evenings. Local routes also serve Gilbert, including Route 136 on Gilbert Road and Route 156 on Williams Field Road past SanTan Village. Check Valley Metro for current schedules.
Are new townhomes being built in Gilbert?
Yes, builders are still selling new townhomes in Gilbert, such as The Towns at Bella Storia by Risewell Homes in the 85295 ZIP code. The builder describes them as two-story, alley-loaded townhomes with two-car garages, and the Bella Storia community includes a pool, clubhouse and pocket parks. New-build options change quickly, so see my Gilbert new construction homes page for what is available now.
