In a report released by real estate advisory group RCLCO this week, Eastmark was ranked No. 8 among the Top 20 top-selling master-planned communities in the nation during the first half of 2015.

Eastmark opened in Mesa, Ariz. just over two years ago (June 2013) and the 2015 season has seen strong interest from buyers wishing to live in this thriving community. Today, over 1,200 residents call Eastmark home and the community is growing fast, with continuous new phases opening and planned.  An active adult neighborhood from AV Homes debuted in March, and the first gated neighborhood from Meritage Homes is coming to the community in the fall.

Vistancia in Peoria, Ariz. was the only other Arizona community to make RCLCO’s top 20 list.

Dea McDonald, Senior Vice President and Eastmark General Manager said “the continued population growth and the demands for residential housing in the Southeast Valley make Eastmark a primary beneficiary of future growth.  We are focused on the creation of a world-class community that will contribute to the economic vitality of the Southeast Valley.  At Eastmark we have created a framework that allows the community to grow organically over time based on the demands for employment, housing and various other uses.  Eastmark is already home to two A-rated charter schools including BASIS Mesa and Sequoia Pathfinder Academy. The Queen Creek School District will be opening their newest campus next to Eastmark in August this year. The mix of amenities from the growing Eastmark Great Park to the Orange Monster, 25+ neighborhood parks and an active community life are drawing more buyers into our community and creating an active destination for buyers looking for something authentic and engaging.”

Phase two of the community has already opened with builders William Ryan, Ryland, Woodside and Taylor Morrison now actively selling, adding to the wide variety of floorplans and products available. Also a phase two addition, Eastmark will be open its first community pool to residents in 2016.
