Ring In the New Year With an Encore

Active Lifestyle Arizona Retirement Guides

If you’re ready for a fresh start where the sun shines all year long, and lifelong friendships are made, AV Home’s newest 55+ community of Encore might be the perfect fit. Nestled within the beautiful master-planned community of Eastmark, this age-restricted enclave has everything active adults could ever dream up right at home. Located east of Phoenix in Mesa, Arizona, seasonal snowbirds, and year-round residents will find an all-inclusive resort style community designed to leave a lasting impression.

Construction of Encore began in 2015 with the goal of 973 homes upon completion. Earning nine awards from the National Association of Home Builders, AV Home’s commitment to excellence is evident from the moment you walk in the door. Encore features a four series design concept the Composer, Director, Producer, and Executive collections each featuring beautiful floor-plans starting in the $200’s, and boasting generous square footage. Low maintenance landscaping compliments Arizona’s desert climate, and options for Spanish-Colonial, Tuscan, Craftsman, and ranch style exteriors cater to every taste. Today’s 55 or better homebuyers desire homes that are built to evolve with them, and these modern, yet classic layouts feature age-friendly innovations that blend seamlessly into the overall design and offer timeless finishes. Flex spaces provide convenient functionality as home offices, or hobby areas, and spacious great rooms, and open kitchens are the ideal setting to host gatherings

The 15,000 square foot Encore Community Club invites residents to relax in the lounge with a latte from the coffee bar, challenge neighbors to a game of pool, or work up a sweat in the state-of-the-art fitness center with an adjacent room for exercise classes. No Arizona lifestyle would be complete without outdoor recreation, and Encore is no exception. From the lap pool with jacuzzi, bocce, pickle-ball, and tennis courts to strolling along a winding walking path, residents have every outdoor amenity under the sun, quite literally. Having trouble knowing where to start? An on-site lifestyle director is available to help residents get the most out of their Encore experience.

Outside of Eastmark, Mesa sets the stage as an idyllic town for active adults to live, and play. From hiking the Superstition Mountains, and horseback riding through Arizona’s desert landscape, to getting out on the fairway with over 40 golf courses to choose from, staying active all year long has no offseason. Home to the Chicago Cubs training facility, the Arizona Museum of Natural History, and the Mesa Art Center, this city is a cultural hub with an abundance of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Downtown Mesa has evolved over the past four decades boasting wider streets, and sidewalks to create a fantastic community that boomers will love coming home to.
