Author Avatar

Written by Mary Murphy

A luxury single-story estate in Gilbert, Arizona, with a Mediterranean design, palm trees, and a golden sunset sky, overlaid with text reading “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.”

💬 Who’s Buying Gilbert’s $1M+ Homes

🏗️ What Defines Luxury in Gilbert in 2025

“Gilbert’s luxury is understated,” Mary notes.
“It’s not about flash—it’s about function, family, and lifestyle.”
