Province is a gated 55+ active-adult community in Maricopa. It sits behind a controlled entry, wraps around a central lake and a 32,000-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 on your short list.

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.

What is Province in Maricopa, AZ?

Province is a built-out, 55-plus gated community of about 2,000 homes (2,045 per the Province Community Association) in 85138, with the deepest amenity package in Maricopa: indoor and outdoor pools, pickleball, bocce, and an on-site activities director. Call 520-838-8037.

Province sits in Maricopa's 85138 area, on the south side of Maricopa, just off John Wayne Parkway, behind a gated entry that filters traffic and sets the tone for what lies 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.

How is the Province housing market right now?

Maricopa homes typically sit on the market noticeably longer than homes in the Phoenix metro. Province as a 55+ submarket tends to behave slightly differently from the surrounding non-age-restricted 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 underprepared listings sit on the market 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 for you.

The Province Listing Record

Everything above is the qualitative picture. Here is the record. These are closed sales in Province over the trailing twelve months, August 26, 2025 through August 25, 2026, per ARMLS as compiled by the James Sanson Team. Homes sold directly by a builder are excluded, so these numbers describe what happens when a homeowner lists.

That last row is the one worth sitting with. Nearly half of Province sellers spent more than three months on the market. Province is not a slow market because something is wrong with it. It is a national buyer pool shopping a specific product, and those buyers take longer to arrive.

What a price cut costs in Province

Those 108 sales split into two groups with very different outcomes.

Eighty-eight more days on the market, and 4.6 percentage points less of the original asking price. That is the measured cost of starting too high and correcting later, and 57.4 percent of Province sellers ended up in the second group.

The pattern holds citywide. Across 1,139 qualifying City of Maricopa closings in the same window, 60.1 percent of sellers cut. Those who did took a median of 100 days and closed at 93.8 percent of their original ask. Those who did not took 33 days and closed at 100 percent.

This is not an argument for underpricing. The sellers who never cut were not the cheapest listings. They were the ones priced where the market already was on day one, which is why they never had to move.

How to use this

Take these numbers to any listing appointment, including ours. If an agent proposes a price for your Province home, ask what it implies about the 57.4 percent and the 46.3 percent above, and ask to see the Province listings they took in the last twelve months, including the ones that expired or cancelled without selling.

The Record describes what has already happened. It does not predict what your home will do. Floor plan, lot orientation, view, condition, and timing all move the outcome, and no dataset can tell you which will matter most for your address. What it does is start the pricing conversation from the full record instead of the flattering half of it.

Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice. For contract, title, or tax questions, talk to an attorney or a CPA.

What are the HOA dues and amenities in Province?

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.

What is the lifestyle like in Province?

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.

How do you sell a home 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 general-market home, because many buyers are evaluating from out of state before they ever step inside.

Pricing discipline matters too. With Maricopa's days-on-market running well above the Phoenix metro, mispriced active adult listings sit on the market longer than mispriced general-market listings and require steeper reductions to clear. Realistic pricing on day one is the most important decision a Province seller makes.

What should you know before 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 and later Meritage active adult phases; the community is now built out. Lots vary from interior to lake-frontage to common-area frontage. Pricing premiums for view and lot orientation are real and meaningful. A buyer's agent who knows Province can help you understand which premiums are worth paying.

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.
