Moving to Maricopa, Arizona

Maricopa is a growing city in Pinal County, south of the Phoenix area along SR 347. Despite the name, it is not in Maricopa County, and it has been a popular option for buyers looking for newer homes, community amenities and a more affordable price point.

Maricopa Highlights

  • Copper Sky: a large multigenerational recreation center and park.
  • Province: an active adult community for buyers 55 and older.
  • Rancho El Dorado: a golf and master-planned community.
  • SR 347: the main route connecting the city to I-10 and the Phoenix area.
  • Nearby Ak-Chin: the Ak-Chin Indian Community and its casino are close to the city.

Living in Maricopa

Maricopa has a mix of newer master-planned neighborhoods, active adult communities and resale homes. Many buyers commute to Chandler, Tempe and Phoenix, so I can help you weigh the commute against the savings.

Buying a Home in Maricopa

Every Maricopa purchase is different, and the right price and terms depend on the home, the seller and the market. I'm a strong negotiator, and I keep negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands, through the inspection, the appraisal and the final walkthrough. 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 to learn how that works and who it fits.
