Sunburst Farms in Glendale is an option, as I indicated upthread. If the OP uses that link in my first post, and puts in Glendale, several of the first listings are in Sunburst Farms, including one at 399,900 (others I saw without looking further are just a bit more).

Plenty in your price range

Awesome properties and homes, surrounded by ghetto. Even the new developments mostly really nice houses are getting rented to section 8 renters at a high percentage. It's a bummer because, I really like the Laveen area, aside from a portion of the people living there. It's the nicest ghetto that I have ever seen. As a guy who removes asbestos and mold for a living, I spent plenty of time there during and after monsoon 2014.And prior to that I removed the asbestos storefront from the current Titlemax, before they opened, at 35th Ave and Southern. It was a closed carniceria at the time.

There are a lot of options throughout the valley. There are approximately 100 horse properties currently on the market for under $400,000.

OP, I remember looking at a home in Ahwatukee Equistrian Estates. I've no idea what the prices are, but the location woukd work. Personally, I think your price point is going to be low unless you accept an crazy commute. (But I am not familiar with Laveen.)

Equestrian Estates by Ahwatukee is way over their budget unfortunately!

So I now see - sorry, OP. And I'm sorry to say that I think your price point is going to be too low for anything decent in a good neighborhood that's a reasonable commute to downtown Phoenix.

I hope you have a Plan B?

Not true, actually. There's nothing wrong with Sunburst Farms, or some other areas. People who want horse property are used to commuting a bit further than most of us would like. I don't share the negative attitude about all of Laveen. My friends wouldn't live there if there was a safety issue. But the OP needs to check areas out for herself. There's a wealth of information on that site linked above about horse properties in the area.
