Province Real Estate in Maricopa, AZ

Province is a gated 55+ active-adult community in Maricopa. It sits behind a controlled entry, wraps around a central lake and a 33,000-plus-square-foot clubhouse, and hosts one of the most active social calendars in the city. If you are downsizing or relocating to an Arizona active adult community, Province is usually one of the first short-list candidates.

This page is the honest guide. What the community looks like day to day, how the market is moving, what the HOA covers, and what to ask before you list or write an offer.

Province at a glance

Province sits in 85138, on the south side of Maricopa, just off John Wayne Parkway, behind a gated entry that filters traffic and sets the tone for what is inside. Streets are wide, sidewalks are continuous, and golf carts share the road with full-size vehicles inside the community.

The community is age-qualified under HOPA. At least one resident in each home must be 55 or older. Permanent residents under age 19 are not allowed. The recorded CC&Rs make this enforceable, and the HOA monitors compliance. The result is a community where the daily rhythm, the amenity programming, and the social fabric all point in the same direction.

Pricing and market context

Maricopa-wide median days on market sat at 117 days as of late April 2026. Phoenix metro DOM was 52 days. Province as a 55+ submarket tends to behave slightly differently from the surrounding family-oriented communities. The buyer pool is more national, more cash-positioned, and more willing to wait for the right floor plan, lot, and amenity orientation. That cuts both ways: well-presented homes still move at fair prices, but mispriced or under-prepared listings sit longer than the city average.

For the current Province median sale price and a comp set tailored by floor plan, lot orientation, and view, call 520-838-8037, and we will pull the numbers the same day.

HOA and amenities

Province dues are noticeably higher than those in the rest of Maricopa, and they fund a deeper amenity package than any other community in the city. Indoor and outdoor pools, two spas, fitness center, group fitness studio, ballroom, library, card and game rooms, billiards, arts and crafts studio, woodworking shop, tennis, pickleball, bocce, and walking and biking paths. An on-site activities director runs an event calendar that keeps the clubhouse busy nearly every day.

Specific dues amounts, transfer fees, and capital improvement contributions are adjusted by board action. Call us for the live numbers before you write an offer or list a home. The Province HOA office can also clarify rules around guest pool access, rental policies, and quiet hours.

Lifestyle and the gated experience

The gated entry, the central lake, and the activity programming all reinforce the same thing: Province is a community where residents do things together. Pickleball clinics, water aerobics, ballroom dance, woodworking shop time, fitness classes, card and game leagues, holiday parties, and travel groups all run through the on-site activities staff. New residents who plug in tend to settle quickly. Residents who keep to themselves still get gated security and access to amenities without the social pressure to participate. Both modes work here.

Selling in Province

If you are selling in Province, the buyer pool is national. People relocating from California, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and the Northeast all show up here. That changes how a listing should be marketed. Photography that captures the lake, the clubhouse views, and the lot orientation matters more than it would for a typical family home, because many buyers are evaluating from out of state before they ever step inside.

Pricing discipline matters too. With Maricopa's median DOM at 117 days, mispriced active adult listings sit longer than mispriced family listings and require steeper reductions to clear. Realistic pricing on day one is the highest-leverage decision a Province seller makes.

Buying in Province

Three things to think about beyond the home itself.

Floor plan and lot orientation. Province has a wide range of floor plans across original Engle phases, later Lennar active adult phases, and current new construction. Lots vary from interior to lake-frontage to common-area frontage. Pricing premiums for view and lot orientation are real and meaningful. A buyer specialist who knows Province can help you understand which premiums are worth paying for.

HOA structure. Read the Arizona HOA Addendum carefully. Province dues are higher than the rest of the city, and the closing-cost line for HOA fees can be substantial. Confirm current dues, transfer fees, capital improvement contributions, and any pending special assessments before you write.

Healthcare and convenience. Many Province residents make weekly trips to Banner Casa Grande or Banner Ironwood for healthcare. Confirm the medical providers you use have a workable location before committing. We can also point you toward Cobblestone Farms or other communities if a 55+ qualification is not a hard requirement.
