High-density and Gilbert are terms I've never seen used in the same sentence.

All those folks moving in will definitely make the Agritopia area stay busy for sure.
East of that gets into the flight routes for Williams Gateway wouldn't want to live that close to the airport.

There's plenty of higher density housing in Gilbert, just no mid rises or high rises. In the OP's case, they are talking about small lot single family detached zero lot line housing product, but it does get more dense than that. Here's the Epicenter Development at Agritopia under development for instance.

Agritopia is such an amazing concept. It is a very popular development and wildly successful. Moreover, the demand has always been high in the community. What I can't understand is why this neighborhood concept hasn't been duplicated by other developers. They continue to build the same cookie-cutter houses with gravel front yards, no porch area whatsoever, and the occasional greenbelt.

I know your response - why wouldn't they continue to build the same old things, when they always sell out due to the demand for housing out here? I get that...but one can continue to hope for more visionaries like Joe Johnston that will create more neighborhoods like this. Verrado and Marley Park are somewhat similar, but communities like those are few and far between.

Don't the Johnstons actually live *in* Agritopia? I thought I read that somewhere.

I don't know how many developers want to live in the area they're building out.

Touche' I've lived in Gilbert on and off for the last 25 years and most of it is built up enough that it will never be really "high density" except some of the places brought up in this post.

Either way, Scottsdale and Gilbert are great communities and don't have the high crime rate of much of Phoenix. Hopefully it will stay that way.
