You don't walk down a hallway to get home here. You open your own gate.
This is a single-story garden community, and every home in it sits behind its own custom metal gate with its own private front yard a walled, planted outdoor room that belongs to you and no one else. No shared entry. No neighbors overhead. No walking past five other doors to reach yours. It is the part of a house that most apartments quietly delete, and here it comes standard with every home.
Completely renovated in 2026, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath home (475 SF) sits on a quiet street minutes from ASU.
YOUR PRIVATE OUTDOOR SPACE: gated front yard behind new block walls with a custom metal gate, professionally landscaped in golden Arizona Blonde granite with agave and blooming bougainvillea, and patio lighting for desert evenings. Set your chairs out. Put a grill in the corner. String the lights.
INSIDE, EVERYTHING IS NEW: brand-new kitchen with warm white shaker cabinets, quartz Calacatta countertops with undermount sink, and tile backsplash. New bath with 12x24" designer tile surround, Delta fixtures with gold trim, and new vanity.
