Gilbert’s Luxury Estate Market — The Hidden East Valley Opportunity
Long known for its family-friendly charm and community atmosphere, Gilbert has quietly become one of Arizona’s fastest-emerging luxury markets. With new construction estates, lakefront properties, and gated enclaves drawing high-end buyers, Gilbert now competes directly with Scottsdale and Chandler in the $1M+ category.
As Mary Murphy, founder of The Murphy Group, puts it:
“Gilbert offers what today’s luxury buyer craves—space, privacy, and community. It’s the perfect blend of upscale living and everyday comfort.”
