Family-Friendly Neighborhoods in Gilbert, AZ

If you’re looking for a place where your family can thrive with great schools, parks, and a strong neighborhood vibe, then Gilbert, Arizona is worth your a look. Below are neighborhoods that I love to show families that are looking to grow into. I’ve included what stands out, things to check, and price-range snapshots.

Power Ranch

Why families like it: A master-planned community with lots of parks, trails and lakes. The sort of place where kids can roam a bit, families gather, and there’s a sense of community.

What to watch: It’s popular — so inventory may move fast and you might see competition or higher prices.

Price snapshot: The typical home value is about $506,754 in Power Ranch

Listings currently run widely — for example, you’ll find homes from the ~$450K range up to ~$900K depending on size, features

Bottom line: A strong foundational pick if your clients want good amenities and a real neighborhood feel.

Layton Lakes

Why families like it: Larger lots, lakefront/home-with-view options, and strong access to amenities. It brings some “estate feel” without going ultra-luxury.

What to watch: Because of the premium features (water views, bigger lots), the price point is higher and you’ll want to ensure the home fits the budget and maintenance expectations.

Price snapshot: Typical home value ~ $661,351 in Layton Lakes  Some sub-neighborhoods list homes in the ~$600K-$800K+ range.

Bottom line: Great for families willing to step up in budget a bit to get more space and premium features.

Seville

Why families like it: Seville is built around the Seville Golf & Country Club which requires a paid membership. The neighborhood was from the grounds of a former orange grove and grew into a master-planned community with resort-style amenities: golf course, water park, tennis/pickleball, trails, community parks.

What to watch: It’s well-regarded for being well maintained, walkable-ish (well-lit streets, sidewalks, odds of walking kids).

Price snapshot: current listings from ~$500K up to ~$1.2M+ depending on size, upgrades, lot.

Bottom line: Balanced and reliable — for families who want stability and good schooling without necessarily going ultra-luxury.

Morrison Ranch

Why families like it: Thoughtful layout, community amenities, good access to schools and conveniences.

What to watch: Because it includes different sectors with varying lot sizes/home ages, matching the specific sub-area to the client’s needs will be key.

Price snapshot: For example, in the “Highland Groves at Morrison Ranch” subdivision the typical home value is ~ $588,994 Some listings within Morrison Ranch span the ~$600K-$1.2M+ range.

Bottom line: Flexible option great for families open to exploring and matching the right parcel/price combo.

Gilbert really shines when it comes to family life from seasonal festivals to farmers markets and summer concerts, there’s always something bringing neighbors together. It’s that small-town heart with big-city perks that makes it such a special place to call home.
