Introducing the Violet floor plan at Goldfield Estates β€” a two-story, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome-style home of approximately 1,320 square feet with a full 2-car garage, located in Apache Junction, Arizona.

The layout is deliberately efficient: it delivers the bedroom count, bathroom count and garage space renters actually search for, while keeping square footage β€” and therefore acquisition cost β€” low enough to work as a rental. That combination is what makes it a rental first and a house second.


Floor Plans

Goldfield Estates offers two townhome plans. The pricing, rent and return figures at the top of this page are for the Violet plan.

Violet β€” 1,320 SF

  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 2.5 Bathrooms
  • 1,320 Sq Ft
  • 2-Car Garage
  • 2-Story
  • Year Built: 2026

Spirit β€” 1,382 SF

  • 3 Bedrooms
  • 2.5 Bathrooms
  • 1,382 Sq Ft
  • 2-Bay Garage
  • 2-Story
  • Year Built: 2026

Both plans put the kitchen, great room, powder room and garage on the main level with all three bedrooms upstairs, and both include a covered patio. Spirit adds roughly 62 square feet over Violet.


Why It Rents Well

  • 3-bedroom layout appeals to families, couples and roommates β€” a broader tenant pool than 1- and 2-bed alternatives
  • 2.5 bathrooms add functionality for families and shared households
  • 2-car garage is a meaningful differentiator against apartment and townhome competition
  • New construction means modern finishes and lower expected near-term maintenance and capital expenditure
  • Efficient 1,320 SF layout stays functional without paying for unnecessary square footage
  • Community pool, rec center and pickleball court add renter appeal beyond the unit itself

Community Amenities

Goldfield Estates is a 209-unit community. The HOA is $205 per month and covers exterior maintenance of the building and roof, access to the rec center, pool and pickleball court, and common area maintenance.

The HOA fee is already inside the 27% estimated operating expenses shown above β€” it is not an additional cost on top of them. Because the association carries roof and exterior maintenance, a share of what would normally be owner capital expenditure is covered by that fee.

  • Recreation center
  • Swimming pool
  • Pickleball court
  • Exterior building and roof maintenance covered by the HOA
  • Mountain views
  • Convenient access to US-60
  • Nearby shopping and dining
  • Access to hiking and outdoor recreation

What's Included

Every home is delivered with the following standard β€” no upgrade package required to make it rent-ready:

  • Kitchen β€” Silestone Lyra quartz countertops with four-inch backsplash, white shaker cabinets, stainless steel sink, pantry
  • Appliances β€” stainless steel Whirlpool smooth-top range, dishwasher and over-the-range microwave
  • Flooring β€” Shaw luxury vinyl plank (Pearson Grey Chestnut) in common living space, laundry and bathrooms; Shaw carpet (Cutters Gap, Concrete) with six-pound pad elsewhere
  • Baths β€” quartz countertops, double vanity in the primary bath per plan, mirrors over all vanity sinks, exhaust fans throughout
  • Paint β€” Sherwin-Williams SW 7006 Extra White throughout; flat on walls and ceilings, semi-gloss on doors and trim
  • Systems β€” energy-efficient heating and central air, 40-gallon electric water heater, fire suppression system, smoke detectors, washer and dryer connections
  • Exterior β€” stucco finish, concrete roof tile, Low-E insulated dual-pane vinyl windows, engineered foundation, overhead garage door opener, wrought iron fence at rear
  • Landscaping β€” front and rear yard landscaping included, concrete driveway and walkway

Quartz counters, LVP flooring and included appliances matter more in a rental than in an owner-occupied home: they are the surfaces that take the most turnover wear, and specifying them at delivery avoids a make-ready upgrade between tenants.

Century Complete delivers a single standard interior palette rather than a menu of buyer selections. For an investor holding more than one unit here, that is a practical advantage: touch-up paint, flooring and countertop material match across the community, so make-ready stock is interchangeable and repairs do not require sourcing a discontinued one-off finish.


Builder

Goldfield Estates is built by Century Complete, the affordable-homes brand of Century Communities β€” a national, publicly traded homebuilder (NYSE: CCS) operating through WJH LLC in Arizona. The land developer of record is Two Tree 60 and Goldfield, LLC.


Site & Zoning

From the recorded final plat for Goldfield Estates, City of Apache Junction, Pinal County:

  • 209 units on a 14.41-acre gross site (12.88 acres net)
  • Proposed density of approximately 14.4 units per acre, against an allowable 22.0
  • 27% open space, held in nine common-area tracts owned and maintained by the HOA
  • Zoned RM-2-PD (residential multifamily, planned development)
  • FEMA flood zone X β€” outside the special flood hazard area, so no federal flood insurance requirement
  • Certificate of assured 100-year water supply required by Arizona statute prior to plat approval

Flood zone X and the assured water supply certificate are worth noting in Arizona specifically: both are recurring diligence items in this market, and both are already resolved here.

Goldfield Estates is a new-construction community in Apache Junction, Arizona, offering affordable townhome-style living with convenient access to the greater Phoenix metro.

The community sits near US-60, approximately 36 miles east of Phoenix, providing access to employment, shopping, dining and entertainment throughout the East Valley.

One of the biggest draws is its proximity to the Superstition Mountains and the outdoor recreation surrounding Apache Junction. Residents have convenient access to hiking and trails while keeping access to the Phoenix metro.

  • Approximately 36 miles east of Phoenix
  • Adjacent to the Superstition Mountains and surrounding trail network
  • Nearby shopping, dining and everyday essentials
  • Mountain views from within the community

Schools

  • Desert Vista Elementary School
  • Cactus Canyon Junior High School
  • Apache Junction High School

Why This Location Performs Well for Investors

  • Affordable Phoenix metro entry point β€” Apache Junction carries a lower acquisition price than many established East Valley communities
  • Rent-to-price relationship β€” purchase prices below $300,000 against estimated rents around $2,050/month
  • 3-bedroom rental demand β€” appeals to families, couples, roommates and longer-term renters who need the space
  • 2-car garage β€” differentiates the home from apartment and townhome rental alternatives
  • Phoenix metro accessibility β€” US-60 connects to employment and amenities across the East Valley
  • Recreation and lifestyle β€” the Superstition Mountains, hiking, mountain views and community amenities attract renters looking for more than affordability alone
  • New-construction appeal β€” modern layouts and newer finishes compete well against older rental inventory
