Province is Maricopa's primary 55+ active adult community — a Del Webb-built gated community offering a full resort amenity package at prices well below the core Phoenix market, with the trade-off of a 35-mile commute to the metro core.
Province was built by Del Webb in Maricopa — a fast-growing community roughly 35 miles south of downtown Phoenix — as a lower-price-point alternative to the company's core West Valley offerings. The result is a full-featured Del Webb active adult community with a resort clubhouse, pools, fitness, and social programming at prices that start in the low-to-mid $200s, well below what comparable Sun City Grand or PebbleCreek inventory commands.
The trade-off is location. Maricopa is not suburban Phoenix — it is a separate city with its own infrastructure that is still maturing. The nearest Banner or major hospital network is 30+ miles north. Sky Harbor is 45–55 minutes in normal traffic. The commercial infrastructure around Maricopa has improved significantly in the past decade but does not match the established corridors of Surprise, Chandler, or Gilbert. Buyers who choose Province are explicitly trading location access for price — the math works if you are genuinely price-constrained and do most of your daily life within Maricopa's growing local infrastructure.
