Moving to San Tan Valley, Arizona

San Tan Valley is a fast-growing area in Pinal County, southeast of Queen Creek and Gilbert. It is not an incorporated city, so it is governed as part of Pinal County, and it attracts buyers who want newer homes, more space and easy access to the San Tan Mountains.

San Tan Valley Highlights

  • San Tan Mountain Regional Park: a large regional park with hiking, biking and horseback riding nearby.
  • Encanterra: a well-known golf and active adult community.
  • Johnson Ranch: a master-planned community with parks and trails.
  • Newer development: many neighborhoods with newer homes and community amenities.

Living in San Tan Valley

Because San Tan Valley is unincorporated, services, utilities and school boundaries can differ from a typical city, and I will help you check the details on any address you like. It is a good fit for buyers who are comfortable with a drive to central Phoenix in exchange for newer homes and more room.

Buying a Home in San Tan Valley

Every San Tan Valley 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.
