I personally am aware of many properties, affordably priced, available to purchase in the east valley. Many of the second homes and retirement homes are available in the East Mesa area. Keep in mind, that many of the communities do not allow large dogs. Pets that are smaller than say, 30 pounds, and are house pets typically are accepted. Give me a call at: 480.216-3334 for more information and so I can help you find that home that will suit your needs.
