Trilogy Power Ranch: At a Glance

Active 55+ living in Gilbert, Arizona — a Shea Homes community with golf, on-site dining, and easy access to the best of the East Valley.

Trilogy at Power Ranch is a gated 55+ community built by Shea Homes in Gilbert, Arizona where you're close to everything in the East Valley. Hospitals, shopping, airports, dining, and the Loop 202 are all within easy reach. For buyers who want resort-style active adult living without moving to an outlying area, this is one of the most well-positioned communities in the Southeast Valley.

With over 2,000 homes, an 18-hole golf course, a 27,000-square-foot clubhouse, on-site restaurant and bar, two pools, eight pickleball courts, and dozens of active clubs, Trilogy at Power Ranch offers a lifestyle that's hard to outgrow. It's a larger community — large enough that there's always something happening and always a club that fits your interests, while still feeling like a neighborhood where people know each other.

A WELL-ROUNDED COMMUNITY

The Right Size. The Right Location. The Right Amenities.

Trilogy at Power Ranch occupies 670 acres within the larger 2,000-acre Power Ranch master-planned community. The 55+ Trilogy section is age-restricted and gated, giving residents the privacy and community feel of a dedicated active adult neighborhood while still sitting within one of Gilbert's most established and desirable residential areas.

The community was designed around an active lifestyle, and it shows in the way the streets, trails, golf course, and amenities connect with one another. Golf carts are a common sight. Residents use them to get to the clubhouse, to the café, to the driving range. The walkability and cart-friendliness of the community is something buyers notice quickly once they visit.

The other thing buyers notice is Gilbert itself. This isn't an outlying community 40 to 50 miles from Phoenix. You're in a city with full infrastructure — well-regarded healthcare systems, strong retail, established restaurants, and fast freeway access. That proximity matters for day-to-day quality of life in a way that's hard to fully appreciate until you've lived in a more remote community and then moved closer in.

Inside, residents will find a fitness center, ballroom card rooms, library, ceramics studio, quilting room, art space, and gathering areas that support a wide variety of clubs and activities. With more than 2,000 home in the community, there’s usually something happening, whether that’s a fitness class, card game, club meeting, educational presentation, or social event. The clubhouse helps create a social hub that feels active and connected rather than quiet and residential.

Pickleball, Tennis & Outdoor Recreation

Outdoor recreation is woven throughout the community. Residents have access to eight pickleball courts, four tennis courts, bocce ball courts, swimming pools, walking trails, and a variety of casual recreation spaces. Pickleball remains particularly popular during Arizona’s cooler months, when the courts often become a gathering place for both organized and recreational play.

Dining — Slate Bistro & Bar

It's also open to the public through the guard gate, which keeps the restaurant viable and active year-round.

Golf at Trilogy at Power Ranch

Power Ranch Golf Club

Power Ranch Golf Club is an 18-hole, public course that winds through the community and serves as one of Power Ranch’s signature amenities. Designed by Dick Bailey, the par-71 course follows the natural contours of the Queen Creek wash, creating a layout that feels more mature and established. Because the course is open to the public, it benefits from a larger customer base that helps support ongoing operations and course maintenance. A driving range and practice facility, full-service pro shop, and on-course dining options round out the experience. For buyers who want to play regularly without paying private club dues on top of their HOA, Power Ranch Golf Club delivers solid value.

How It Feels to Live Here

Trilogy at Power Ranch feels active from the moment you arrive. Mornings begin with golfers heading to the course, neighbors gathering for walks, and residents making their way to fitness classes or coffee. The pickleball courts fill early, and before long the clubhouse is buzzing with card games, club meetings, and everyday conversation.

What residents consistently highlight is how easy it is to get involved. With over 2,000 homes, the community has the critical mass to support a wide range of clubs and activities without ever feeling overwhelming.New residents often say it’s easy to meet people because clubs are active and members are welcoming. People are friendly. The guard-gated entry and well-kept streets give the neighborhood a pride-of-ownership feel that buyers notice from the first drive through.

Golf carts are part of everyday life here. Residents use them to head to the clubhouse for dinner, meet friends for pickleball or bocce, play a round of golf, or simply visit neighbors. It creates a connected, small-town feel where many daily activities happen without getting in the car.

One of Trilogy’s biggest advantages is its Gilbert location. Major healthcare providers, shopping, restaurants, and the Loop 202 are all just minutes away, making everyday errands noticeably easier than in many outlying retirement communities. Downtown Gilbert, Chandler, and Sky Harbor Airport are all comfortably within reach, allowing residents to enjoy an active lifestyle without feeling disconnected from the rest of the Valley.

Like most Arizona 55+ communities, the energy shifts seasonally. October through April is the peak — courts full, bistro busy, clubs at their most active. Many residents are full-time retirees, while others split their time between Arizona and colder climates. The mix creates an active social calendar during peak season while still maintaining a strong year-round community. Summers naturally become quieter as many seasonal residents return home, but early morning activities, indoor amenities, and the year-round pool keep the community active for full-time residents.

Trilogy at Power Ranch May Be a Great Fit If You…

• Want a well-rounded active adult lifestyle with golf, clubs, fitness, dining, and a location that keeps you connected to the broader East Valley

• Enjoy an active golf lifestyle, where the course is part of the community, golf carts are a common way to get around, and the golf social scene is well established

• Prefer an established community with a strong social foundation, where clubs are thriving, the bistro is part of everyday life, and the community has developed its own character over time

• Value Gilbert’s central location more than having the newest homes, appreciating convenient access to healthcare, shopping, restaurants, and Sky Harbor Airport over new construction

Trilogy at Power Ranch May Not Be the Best Fit If You...

• Prefer a newer community with more contemporary homes and amenities, as all homes were built between 1999 and 2008, and while many have been beautifully updated, the clubhouse and amenities don’t have the same newer feel you’ll find at communities such as Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch, Robson Ranch, or Ovation at Meridian

• Want a more upscale dining experience within the community, as Slate Bistro & Bar offers a more casual golf-course atmosphere than destinations such as Stone & Barrel at Sun Lakes or the restaurants found in some of Arizona’s larger active adult communities

• Prefer a private golf club atmosphere, as Power Ranch Golf Club is open to the public and welcomes outside play

• Prefer a larger destination-style resort community, as Trilogy at Power Ranch offers an active lifestyle and a broad range of amenities, but not on the same scale as communities such as Robson Ranch, PebbleCreek, or Sun Lakes

What You’ll Pay for a Home

Home Prices and Value

The price range runs from the upper $300s for a smaller original home to the upper $800s for a larger updated home on a premium golf course lot , with the average resale hovering in the mid-$500s. Compared to some newer outlying communities, Trilogy at Power Ranch comes in at a higher price per square foot. Part of that premium reflects Gilbert itself. Homes throughout Gilbert generally sell for more than comparable homes in many outlying communities, and Trilogy benefits from that broader market strength. Buyers are also paying for mature landscaping, established amenities, and one of the East Valley’s most desirable locations.

Whether that premium is worthwhile depends on your priorities. Buyers who expect frequent visits from family, regular medical appointments, easy airport access, or simply want to remain close to the East Valley’s restaurants and shopping often decide the location alone justifies the additional cost. Buyers whose primary goal is maximizing square footage or owning the newest home possible may find better value in communities farther from the metro area.

What to Know Before Buying

Home Ages and What That Means

Shea Homes built Trilogy at Power Ranch between 1999 and 2008. Today, the newest homes are approaching 20 years old, while the original homes are now in their mid-20s. All available inventory is resale; there is no new construction. This is worth understanding going in. The homes are well-built. Shea Homes has long been recognized as one of the premier builders in the active adult market, and Trilogy at Power Ranch has earned a reputation for quality construction that continues to appeal to buyers today. Buyers should budget for updates that often accompany homes of this age, such as flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, HVAC systems, or roofs. Many homes have already been extensively renovated, while others remain largely original, therefore a thorough home inspection becomes especially important.

The upside of established construction is established landscaping, mature trees, and a neighborhood that looks lived-in and cared-for rather than newer neighborhoods where the landscaping is still maturing. Many homes have been extensively updated over the years, and there's good variety in what's available in the resale market. Homes range from approximately 1,100 to over 2,500 square feet across six model collections with 26 floor plans in total.

Age Restriction

Trilogy at Power Ranch is strictly 55+ age-restricted. At least one resident per household must be 55 or older, and no permanent residents under 19 are permitted. Guests and visiting family are welcome, subject to the community’s occupancy and guest policies.

HOA Annual & One-Time Closing Fees

Annual HOA dues are generally competitive with many established Arizona 55+ communities. However, Trilogy’s one-time capital and transfer fees are somewhat higher than average, increasing the cash needed at closing. These fees don’t affect your ongoing monthly ownership costs, but they’re worth understanding before making an offer.

THE GOOD LIFE AZ TAKE

Trilogy at Power Ranch is a community that has figured out what it is and does it consistently well. The amenities are active and well-supported, the clubs are engaged, golf is integrated into daily life, and the Gilbert location means you’re never far from what you need.

Trilogy at Power Ranch consistently earns strong reviews from residents — and when you read them closely, two themes come up repeatedly: how friendly the community is and how much there is to do. Those qualities matter because they create the kind of community that’s easy to become part of. The social infrastructure at a community this size means clubs are well-attended, courts are active, and you're not waiting for enough people to show up before something happens.

The honest trade is this: you'll pay a bit more than you would for a comparable lifestyle in a newer outlying community, and the homes and amenities are a little older. Those are real considerations — not deal-breakers for most buyers, but worth factoring into the decision. If you're drawn to Gilbert's location and want a community that's socially active with golf and dining steps from your door, Trilogy at Power Ranch remains one of the East Valley’s stronger 55+ options.
