Community Overview
Encore at Eastmark is Taylor Morrison's active adult section within the Eastmark master plan — a development in the eastern Mesa / Gilbert corridor that has attracted significant attention for its design-forward approach and community programming. Like Victory at Verrado on the West Valley side, Encore gives 55+ buyers access to a broader master plan's amenities and character while living in an age-qualified enclave.
The East Valley location puts Encore residents within reach of Banner Gateway Medical Center, Chandler Regional, and the growing dining and retail corridor in southeast Mesa and Gilbert. New construction from Taylor Morrison means current warranty coverage and modern floor plans.
Amenities
Encore vs. Other East Valley 55+ Options
vs. Encanterra (Queen Creek): Encanterra is more established resort 55+ with Tom Lehman golf — higher HOA, higher prices ($400K–$900K). Encore is newer construction at lower prices without on-site golf.
vs. Leisure World Chandler: Leisure World has on-site golf and gated security at similar prices. Encore wins on construction vintage and the broader Eastmark master plan character.
vs. Sunland Village East (Mesa): Sunland Village East has two rec centers and older construction at lower prices. Encore wins on new construction quality; Sunland Village East wins on value and golf.
