Resort-style active adult living in the heart of Gilbert — a private gated 55+ community with world-class amenities, an active lifestyle culture, and the safety and convenience of one of Arizona's most beloved cities.
Community Overview
Trilogy at Power Ranch is the age-restricted crown jewel within the larger Power Ranch master-planned community in southeast Gilbert, Arizona. Developed by Shea Homes — one of the nation's premier builders of active adult communities — Trilogy at Power Ranch brings a resort-caliber amenity package to a gated, secure environment surrounded by one of Gilbert's most celebrated family master plans.
The community operates as a physically separate, gated 55+ enclave within Power Ranch. Trilogy residents have access to both their exclusive private amenities (The Enclave clubhouse) AND the broader Power Ranch community amenities — including the Power Ranch lakes, trails, parks, and recreational facilities that most active adult communities cannot offer. It's a unique dual-amenity arrangement that sets Trilogy at Power Ranch apart from standalone 55+ communities like Sun City or PebbleCreek.
Gilbert is widely regarded as one of America's safest and most livable mid-size cities — a distinction it has held in national rankings for years. Its combination of low crime, outstanding healthcare (Banner Gateway Medical Center and Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert are both within minutes), a diverse and growing restaurant and retail scene on Williams Field Road and Higley Road, and strong civic infrastructure makes it a compelling location for active adult buyers from across the country.
Trilogy at Power Ranch homes are Shea Homes construction — meaning thoughtful single-story and select two-story floor plans designed with active adult buyers in mind: wider doorways, open-concept great rooms, energy-efficient systems, and low-maintenance desert landscapes. The community is fully built out on the Shea side, with resale inventory being the primary way buyers enter today.
Community Facts
The Enclave Clubhouse
The Enclave is Trilogy at Power Ranch's private clubhouse — the social and recreational hub of the community, exclusively available to Trilogy residents and their guests. Unlike most condominium or HOA common areas, The Enclave is a legitimate resort-caliber facility that would feel at home at a four-star hotel, yet it's yours to use whenever you want, for the cost of your HOA dues.
Multiple resort-style pools including a heated lap pool for year-round fitness swimming and a resort-style leisure pool for relaxation. Spa/hot tub included. Pool deck seating and shade cabanas.
State-of-the-art fitness center with cardio machines, weight training equipment, and dedicated group exercise studios. Group fitness classes — yoga, Pilates, Zumba, cycling, and more — with rotating schedules.
Multiple dedicated pickleball courts — one of the most active and social sports in the 55+ community. Open play, league play, and clinic instruction available. The Trilogy pickleball community is vibrant and welcoming.
Full tennis courts with organized play, resident-led clinics, and casual open play. Tennis is a year-round sport in Gilbert's mild climate. Courts are lighted for evening play during summer months.
Dedicated arts and crafts studio with supplies, workspace, and kilns for ceramics. Watercolor classes, painting workshops, jewelry-making sessions, and other creative programming on a rotating basis.
A professional-grade demonstration kitchen used for cooking classes, culinary events, and social gatherings. Guest chef appearances, wine pairing dinners, and seasonal cooking series are community favorites.
Multiple billiards tables in a well-appointed lounge setting. Card game tables, board games, and social seating areas adjacent. Popular for informal social time and organized tournaments.
A large event hall for community-wide social events, holiday parties, live music performances, dances, and speakers. Also available for private rental for resident gatherings and parties.
A full-time lifestyle director manages the community's social programming — ensuring a packed calendar of fitness classes, social events, clubs, day trips, and activities so residents are never without options.
Unique Advantage
Most 55+ active adult communities exist in isolation — surrounded by desert or commercial corridors, with no connection to the energy and infrastructure of a broader planned community. Trilogy at Power Ranch is different. As a sub-community within Power Ranch, Trilogy residents have access to Power Ranch's full amenity network in addition to their own exclusive Enclave clubhouse.
One frequently cited reason that buyers choose Trilogy at Power Ranch over standalone retirement communities is the access to "life happening around them" while maintaining their private 55+ sanctuary within The Enclave. Grandchildren visiting for the weekend can go to the Power Ranch parks, splash pads, and lake trails. The family energy of a large master plan is available — but Trilogy residents return to their own gated, adults-only space at the end of the day.
Active Lifestyle
The defining characteristic of Trilogy at Power Ranch isn't its amenities — it's the culture of active engagement that the community's design and programming deliberately cultivates. The lifestyle director, the clubs, and the organized social calendar mean that isolation and inactivity are choices, not defaults.
Market Data

How It Compares
Arizona has some of the nation's most celebrated active adult communities. Buyers comparing Trilogy at Power Ranch to other options should understand how each community differs in scale, amenities, location, and price tier.
| Community | Location | Scale | Price Range (SFR) | Golf | Unique Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trilogy at Power Ranch | Gilbert, AZ | ~1,000 homes (55+ section) | $420K–$760K | None on-site (nearby) | Dual amenity access (Enclave + Power Ranch); Gilbert location; Shea quality |
| PebbleCreek | Goodyear, AZ | ~6,000+ homes | $350K–$900K | 2 courses (on-site) | Massive scale; 2 golf courses; expansive clubhouse network; West Valley location |
| Sun City Grand | Surprise, AZ | ~9,000 homes | $280K–$600K | 4 courses (on-site) | Very large scale; multiple golf courses; lower price point; West Valley |
| Sun Lakes | Chandler/Sun Lakes, AZ | ~7,000 homes | $300K–$700K | 5 courses (on-site) | Multiple distinct villages; 5 golf courses; established feel; South Chandler location |
| Trilogy at Vistancia | Peoria, AZ | ~3,500 homes (planned) | $400K–$950K | Adjacent (Blackstone) | Stunning NW Valley location; Vistancia master plan; newer construction |
| DC Ranch (55+ sections) | N. Scottsdale | Various sections | $700K–$2M+ | Adjacent | Scottsdale prestige; luxury price point; mountain views; high-end retail |
Trilogy at Power Ranch's primary advantage over larger West Valley communities is its East Valley / Gilbert location — closer to Sky Harbor, to the ASU corridor, to premium healthcare, and to the cultural amenities of Scottsdale. Buyers who prioritize East Valley convenience over scale or golf will consistently prefer Trilogy at Power Ranch.
Location & Access
For active adult buyers, location takes on different dimensions than it does for working families. Proximity to top-tier healthcare, ease of airport access for family visits, and access to cultural enrichment (restaurants, arts, entertainment) matter more than school quality or tech-employer proximity. On all of these dimensions, Gilbert scores exceptionally well.
Trilogy at Power Ranch is within 10–15 minutes of two major hospital systems:
The Williams Field Road and Higley Road corridors near Trilogy at Power Ranch have seen exceptional retail and dining development over the past decade:
Gilbert consistently earns national recognition that active adult buyers care about:
Gilbert's growth trajectory also means continued infrastructure investment — new medical facilities, retail, and transit improvements are consistently in development, supporting property values over the long term.
Gilbert's climate supports year-round outdoor activity. Mild winters (December–February average daytime highs: 65–72°F) allow pickleball, golf, walking, and outdoor dining essentially every day. Summer heat (June–August) is offset by Trilogy's resort pools, indoor fitness facilities, and evening outdoor programming after temperatures drop.
Age Restriction Rules
Trilogy at Power Ranch is governed by HOPA (Housing for Older Persons Act) — the federal law that permits age-restricted housing for the 55+ demographic. Understanding HOPA and the community's specific HOA rules is essential before purchasing.
Under HOPA, a community qualifies as 55+ housing if at least 80% of its occupied units have at least one person 55 or older in permanent residence. Trilogy at Power Ranch must maintain this threshold to retain its age-restricted status. In practice, Trilogy typically operates at well above 80% occupancy by qualifying residents.
Trilogy at Power Ranch permits rental of homes under specific conditions. Renters must comply with age restrictions — meaning a rental tenant must be 55+ or meet the community's co-occupant rules. Short-term vacation rentals (Airbnb, VRBO, 30-day-or-less rentals) may face additional HOA restrictions — verify current policy before purchasing for STR investment purposes. Long-term rental to qualifying 55+ tenants is generally permitted.
Trilogy at Power Ranch has a dual HOA structure:
Under Arizona law (ARS §33-1806), the HOA must provide a complete disclosure package before closing — including current dues, any pending special assessments, reserve fund balances, HOA financial statements, and current CC&Rs. Review this package carefully. For a 55+ community with a major clubhouse facility like The Enclave, reserve adequacy for future clubhouse maintenance and replacement is particularly important.
Buyer's Guide
Trilogy at Power Ranch is a finite, fully built community — Shea Homes has completed their buildout. All available homes are resale inventory. This finite supply combined with consistent national in-migration of Baby Boomer buyers to the Phoenix metro creates reliable demand. Well-maintained, well-located Trilogy homes typically sell within days of listing when priced correctly.
Premium lots — those backing to the Power Ranch lake, greenbelt trails, or open desert preserve — are especially rare and move fastest. Buyers targeting premium lot locations should be prepared to act quickly and ideally be pre-approved before touring.
Most Trilogy at Power Ranch purchases are financed with conventional loans. The 2026 conforming loan limit for Maricopa County is $806,500 — all Trilogy homes fall comfortably within this limit, making 20–30% down conventional financing the standard approach. VA loans are available for eligible veterans (many 55+ buyers qualify), with no down payment requirement for those with full entitlement. Buyers using reverse mortgages or HECM products should consult with a lender specializing in those products; 55+ buyer pools often include reverse mortgage purchasers.
Trilogy at Power Ranch is popular with snowbirds — buyers who spend Arizona winters in the community and return to northern states for summer. Several practical considerations for snowbird buyers:
Local Life
One of the most underrated aspects of Trilogy at Power Ranch's Gilbert location is proximity to an exceptional and rapidly growing culinary and cultural scene. The East Valley has transformed from a restaurant desert into a legitimate dining destination over the past decade, and Trilogy residents are perfectly positioned to enjoy it.
Downtown Gilbert's Heritage District — approximately 12–15 minutes from Trilogy — is one of the Phoenix metro's most celebrated dining and social destinations. Dozens of independent restaurants, breweries, wine bars, and coffee shops line Vaughn Avenue and Gilbert Road. The weekly Gilbert Farmers Market draws community members year-round. Adjacent Agritopia — Gilbert's famous organic farm community — is home to Joe's Farm Grill (James Beard recognized, national media coverage, farm-fresh Arizona ingredients) and a community coffee shop set within a working 11-acre organic farm. For residents who appreciate farm-to-table dining and authentic community character, this area is a significant quality-of-life asset.
San Tan Village shopping center, located approximately 10–12 minutes from Trilogy, offers a full-service regional mall experience with national anchor stores and a wide range of dining options. The Williams Field Road corridor immediately surrounding Power Ranch has seen exceptional retail density — grocers including Fry's, Safeway, Sprouts, and Trader Joe's are all within 10–15 minutes, along with Target, Costco, major pharmacy chains, and dozens of restaurants from fast-casual to sit-down dining.
Trilogy's location in the East Valley provides reasonable access to the Phoenix metro's major cultural institutions:
One of Arizona's great advantages for active adult residents is the diversity of day-trip destinations within 2–3 hours:

In addition to The Enclave, Trilogy residents have access to the broader Power Ranch community amenities including two lakes, 26+ parks, and over 26 miles of trails — a unique dual-amenity arrangement that distinguishes Trilogy at Power Ranch from standalone 55+ communities. The community is fully built out (all Shea new construction is complete), with resale inventory being the primary way buyers enter today.
What are home prices at Trilogy at Power Ranch?
Trilogy at Power Ranch home prices typically range from approximately $420,000 for a smaller 2-bedroom resale to $760,000+ for a larger home on a premium lot (lake view, greenbelt backing, or upgraded with a private pool).

Arizona is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices are not public record — contact Ryan Moxley for current active listings and verified comparable sales.
What amenities does Trilogy at Power Ranch offer?
Trilogy at Power Ranch centers on The Enclave — a private clubhouse exclusively for Trilogy residents — with resort-style pools (including a heated lap pool), a large fitness center with group exercise classes, pickleball courts (extremely popular with an active community), tennis courts, bocce ball courts, a billiards room, arts and crafts studios, a demonstration kitchen for cooking events, a multipurpose event hall for community-wide socials and live music, and a full-time lifestyle director managing a packed social calendar. Beyond The Enclave, Trilogy residents also have access to Power Ranch's amenities: two lakes (Power Ranch Lake and Stetson Lake) for kayaking and fishing, 26+ parks, splash pads, playgrounds, and over 26 miles of paved trails throughout the broader community.
Can younger family members live at Trilogy at Power Ranch?
Trilogy at Power Ranch is governed by HOPA (Housing for Older Persons Act), which requires at least one permanent resident per home to be 55 or older. Under HOPA's 80/20 rule, the community must maintain at least 80% occupancy by households with a qualifying 55+ resident (in practice, Trilogy typically exceeds this substantially). A spouse or domestic partner under 55 may co-reside with a qualifying 55+ resident. Adult children (18+) may also reside in certain circumstances — verify current HOA policy. Minor children cannot be permanent residents, though they may visit (there is no restriction on grandchildren visiting). All prospective residents must complete age verification with the HOA before move-in is approved. Buyers should request the current CC&Rs and HOA occupancy rules and review them carefully before closing.
How does Trilogy at Power Ranch compare to PebbleCreek or Sun Lakes?
Trilogy at Power Ranch, PebbleCreek (Goodyear), and Sun Lakes (Chandler/Sun Lakes area) each serve the Arizona 55+ active adult market but differ significantly. PebbleCreek and Sun Lakes are much larger communities (6,000+ and 7,000+ homes respectively), feature on-site golf (PebbleCreek has 2 courses; Sun Lakes has 5), and are located in the West Valley and South Valley respectively — with lower price points but longer drives to Sky Harbor, ASU, and east-side cultural amenities. Trilogy at Power Ranch is smaller (~1,000 homes in the 55+ section), has no on-site golf, but offers the dual-amenity advantage of The Enclave plus Power Ranch's lake and trail network, Shea Homes' quality construction, and Gilbert's outstanding East Valley location — closer to premium healthcare, Sky Harbor, and Scottsdale cultural amenities. Buyers who prioritize East Valley convenience, Gilbert's safety ranking, or Shea's construction quality will consistently prefer Trilogy; those who prioritize scale, on-site golf, or lower price entry may prefer PebbleCreek or Sun Lakes.
