Province is the one age-qualified community in the City of Maricopa, on the south side of the city just off John Wayne Parkway in 85138, Pinal County. It sits behind a gatehouse staffed around the clock, wraps around its lakes and a two-story Village Center, and is fully built out, so every purchase here is a resale. This page covers what homes actually sold for, what the community offers, how the two home products and the association work, who qualifies to live here, and how a Province home gets priced, using closed-sale data and the association's own facts rather than estimates.

What did Province homes actually sell for?

Between August 26, 2025, and August 25, 2026, 108 homeowner sales closed in Province at a median sold price of $375,000 and a median of 78 days on market, per ARMLS, excluding homes sold directly by a builder, so the figures describe what happens when an owner lists. Province runs slower than the city: 78 days against 68 citywide, and 46.3 percent of Province listings took more than 90 days against 37.7 percent citywide. That reflects a national 55-plus buyer pool shopping a specific floor plan, lot, and amenity orientation, not anything wrong with the community. Prices vary widely by plan, lot, and view, so the median is a starting point, not a valuation of any particular home.

What matters most to a seller is how pricing affected the outcome. Of those 108 sales, 57.4 percent of sellers cut their asking price at least once before selling. The 46 sellers who never cut took a median of 40 days and closed at 97.9 percent of their original asking price. The 62 who cut at least once took a median of 128 days and closed at 93.3 percent. Eighty-eight more days on the market and 4.6 percentage points less of the original ask, from the first pricing decision.

What amenities does Province offer?

The center of Province is the Village Center, a two-story clubhouse of 32,000 square feet. The association lists its Town Hall at 4,431 square feet, seating 297, with a 40-foot stage, professional sound and lighting, a dance floor, and a catering kitchen. The same building holds a library, billiards, a cafe, arts and crafts studios, a woodworking shop, a computer room, and the fitness center. Next to it sit two pools, one outdoor and one indoor heated lap pool, plus a separate spa, all ADA-compliant. For sports: nine courts for pickleball, four for tennis, two for bocce, and a half-court for basketball. Water runs through the whole plan: 25 lakes and ponds, six waterfalls, and 50 acres stocked for catch-and-release fishing, with walking paths and two picnic ramadas along the shore. An activities director keeps the calendar, and resident clubs run from bridge, mahjong, and quilting to chorale, line dancing, photography, radio-controlled sailing, water volleyball, hiking, and golf.

Does Province have a golf course?

Outside the gates, next door. The Duke at Rancho El Dorado is a privately owned golf course the public plays by paying per round, with a restaurant and a golf shop. Province residents book rounds there the same way anyone else does, and the community's resident golf club organizes play there. Inside the gates, golf carts share the road with full-size vehicles, many homes carry golf-cart garages, and a putting group meets at the Village Center.

What types of homes are in Province?

Province has two home types, both single-level, from two builders over four building eras. Single-family homes range from about 1,300 to 3,200 square feet with two to four bedrooms and a standard two-car garage, with 2.5- or three-car garages on some plans; lots go from under 5,000 square feet to more than 18,000 on premium sites. The attached villas are twin homes that share one wall, roughly 1,200 to 1,800 square feet, nearly all with two bedrooms and a two-car garage. Engle Homes built the early phases from 2003 to 2007, naming its plans after flowers, from the Camellia at about 1,500 square feet to the Orchid at more than 3,000, and built every villa; a few Engle plans came with a casita option. Meritage Homes followed in the mid-2000s with three generations of plans, some with a golf-cart garage, and finished the community with the Preserve series at about 1,300 to 2,300 square feet. About one home in seven backs to a lake, mostly in the Engle sections, and more back to greenbelt. With the community built out, every sale is a resale; the newest are the Preserve homes, and some still carry a builder warranty that can transfer. The current listings are at the top of this page.

How does the Province HOA work?

CCMC manages the Province Community Association, which bills assessments on a fixed schedule. That money pays for the Village Center, the pools and courts, the lakes, the common landscaping, the gate, and the lifestyle program, and a cable television charge is billed with it. Villas carry a higher assessment because it also covers their exterior upkeep, roofs, front yards, and a blanket insurance policy. Province dues run higher than non-restricted Maricopa subdivisions because of that amenity package, and the HOA line at closing can be substantial, so read the Arizona HOA Addendum carefully. Get the current assessment for the specific product and section directly from the association. Like every Arizona association, it operates under recorded CC&Rs and design guidelines; Arizona law requires an HOA disclosure package at resale, and Arizona statute caps the disclosure and document fee. Verify current assessments, transfer fees, and any special assessments with CCMC during escrow.

Who can live in Province?

Province qualifies as housing for older persons under the Housing for Older Persons Act, the federal law at 42 U.S.C. 3607(b)(2), with HUD's rules in 24 CFR Part 100, Subpart E. That law lets a community limit occupancy to older residents when it meets its tests. The main test: in at least 80 percent of occupied homes, at least one resident is 55 or older, and the association publishes and follows policies that show it runs that way. Province's own rules, such as the minimum age for others in the home, guest stay limits, and leasing, are in its recorded CC&Rs and association policies, which also set out how they treat a spouse under 55, an adult child, a caregiver, or an inherited home. Check the current policy with the association before you write an offer. One search tip: Copper Ridge is a separate all-ages Meritage neighborhood next door, and some listings use the Province name for it. A home listed as Copper Ridge at Province is not a 55+ home.

How does the gate work, and what about the commute?

A security vendor hired by the association staffs the gate house around the clock, cameras cover the front and rear entrances, and four code-entry pedestrian gates sit along the perimeter. Visitors check in at the gate, and each resident gets 40 amenity guest passes a year, with extra passes for sale. For driving, John Wayne Parkway is right there, and most residents heading north take SR 347 toward the I-10 corridor, typically 35 to 45 minutes to Phoenix and East Valley destinations, with rush hour and incidents extending that.

How do you sell a home in Province?

The buyer pool for Province is national, and many buyers evaluate from out of state before they step inside, so two things carry more weight here than in a general-market listing: pricing matched to your exact product, plan, and lot from closed Province sales, and photography that captures the lake, the Village Center views, and the lot orientation. The never-cut data above is the whole argument for getting the first price right. Our listing approach covers that pricing work, assembling the association resale package, professional photography, community and drone video, targeted digital and social advertising to buyers already searching for a 55+ home in Maricopa, MEGA Open Houses, and private buyer previews.

How does Province compare to other Maricopa communities?

If a 55+ qualification is a requirement, Province is the only option inside the City of Maricopa. If it is not, buyers most often compare Rancho El Dorado, the master plan that shares The Duke, The Villages at Rancho El Dorado, Senita, and Cobblestone Farms. Copper Ridge, next door, is all-ages and not age-qualified.
