Where it is

Lyons Gate is in southeast Gilbert in the 85295 ZIP code. The community is near Higley Road and Ray Road, and Higley Road splits it into east and west sides. A rail line runs diagonally along the southern edge. The community office is on S. Martingale Road.

The community's CC&Rs point out a few things worth knowing about the setting: Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is about 3 miles to the east, the Loop 202 San Tan Freeway is to the northwest, and the San Tan Generating Station is about a mile to the southeast. I share these with every buyer so there are no surprises. Agritopia and its restaurants are also nearby.

The homes

William Lyon Homes was the developer, and the community's CC&Rs were recorded in September 2005. Lyons Gate has 1,936 homes. Homes were built from about 2005 to 2015, and builders you will see on listings include William Lyon, Woodside, Taylor Morrison, Shea, Maracay, Pulte and Ashton Woods. Listings show earlier phases built around 2007 and later phases built around 2011 and 2012.

Most homes are two-story single-family homes, and some have alley-load garages, which keeps the street view cleaner. The CC&Rs also set aside lots for cluster homes, which have their own neighborhood assessment area and their own color schemes. The community appears to be built out, so today you are looking at resale homes.

Things to do

Amenities are the big draw. Lyons Gate has three community pools, eight playgrounds with picnic areas and grills, a clubhouse residents can rent for events, and lots of greenbelts. Listings also mention a sand volleyball court and walking paths.

The association runs events, architectural and social committees, so there is usually something on the calendar. Outside the community, Agritopia's farm, restaurants and shops are a short drive away, and the Loop 202 makes it easy to reach the rest of the East Valley.

Schools

Most Lyons Gate listings show the Higley Unified School District, with schools such as Higley Traditional Academy, Cooley Middle School and Williams Field High School or Higley High School. At least one section shows Gilbert Public Schools for elementary, so the district can differ across the community. Please confirm the assigned schools for any address directly with the district before you buy.

HOA basics

The Lyon's Gate Community Association runs the pools, clubhouse, playgrounds and common areas. It is managed by Brown Community Management and has a five-member volunteer board. Cluster homes have their own neighborhood assessment on top of the main association. Before you write an offer, I will pull the current dues, any extra assessments, transfer fees and the CC&Rs.

Buying in Lyons Gate

In Lyons Gate I start by sorting homes by phase and builder, since a 2006 home and a 2012 home can be quite different in roof age, HVAC age and finishes. I also look at whether a home is a cluster home or a standard single-family lot, which side of Higley Road it is on, and how close it is to a pool or park.

Some sellers in Gilbert have older, lower-rate loans that a buyer may be able to take over. Read my guide to buying a home with an assumable mortgage in Arizona if that interests you, and my first steps to buying a home in Arizona if you are just getting started.

Selling your Lyons Gate home

When you sell in Lyons Gate, buyers will compare your home to others in the community and to nearby neighborhoods like Cooley Station and Power Ranch. I price your home against sales of the same builder, size and lot type, and I make sure your listing shows off the pools, parks and any updates you have made.
