Friendly and Lovely Place To Retire

March 31, 2026

We have been residents since 2004. Our experience living in Arizona Traditions has been nothing less than amazing. This community is gated and guarded and is safe with caring, wonderful neighbors. Activities abound and there are always special events offered throughout the year. Never at a loss for something to do ranging from a host of clubs to a top rate wood shop and exercise facility.

AZT is a SAFE community that has it all

March 26, 2026

We lived here for over 17 years. This is a gated community with 24/7 security guards at the gate. The community offers an overwhelming number of activies and facilities to satisfy everyone’s expectations. Here is a small number of what one will find at AZT (Private Club Sports Bar, Softball Field, Tennis, Pickleball, Horseshoes, Bocce Ball, Woodshop, Pottery, Glass Art, Quilting, Pool Tables, Suffle Boards, 2-Exercise Rooms, 3-Swiming Pools, 2-Hot Tubs, 2-Sauna’s, Social Entertainment Shows and Dancing to Live Bands, Card and Board Game Groups, and a Beautiful Semi-private 18-hole Golf Course). One should never trust a bad review without seeing for themselves.

No rules here!!

October 13, 2025

This is the worst, unfriendly neighborhood we’ve ever lived in. The HOA only makes certain people follow the rules but others can work on RV’s, park overnight permanently, not take care of their property, and management doesn’t respond to phone calls. I have 4 years of documentation to back this up.

I tell people all the time, you could literally die in the road and no one would care or help you. More unfriendly than the south side of Chicago!! The only positive is, we do love our home!!

Finally, an HOA that actually backs up the rules

October 25, 2024

Want to pay for an HOA that doesn’t do anything…..don’t move here. The Traditons is one of the most affordable communities with 55+ and takes care of the grounds. If you want to get drunk and make a scene at the recent center then this is not the place for you. If you want to have your car on blocks in the driveway then don’t move here. We have a golf course running through our community…….duh, yes we cater to golfing!

Lovely Community Wonderful Homeowners. NIGHTMARE HOA!!

September 8, 2024

Arizona Traditions is a lovely Community. I moved here in June 2024. I have met so many nice people. The home construction is mediocre. Cheap construction and craftmanship. Have not met one homeowner that is pleased with the HOA management!

The HOA is a “Poster Child” for Draconian management. Rude buffoons’ on every committee. Just morons with no credentials the be on any board or committee. Landscaping is just awful. Trees and bushes are dying. The event center is outsourced for the convenience of the Baseball players. Most of which do not live in our community. Home owners are expected to bankroll maintenance of the field with no benefit. Landscape committee Potentate says they don’t plant trees for homeowners.

Christina at the office is a lovely lady and the only bright spot when dealing with HOA employees.

If you decide to move here it is a lovely property but you will be required to submit to HOA management morons who will smite you if you do not do exactly as they say.

Ask about no parking in driveways and no water containers allowed in the community center area

June 14, 2024

The HOA board is on a power trip. You can no longer bring a insulted water container into the community center. Want to exercise? Well don’t plan on that here. These people just think everyone is a drunk and trying to sneak alcohol into THEIR BAR FOOTPRINT. Which includes the pools, lunch pavilion, library, excersing area in the ballroom and the front office and bar.

Don’t you dare bring in your water container or they’ll fine you and ban you from the facilities.

If you want a fire sale on homes this is the place.

Out of touch and extremely dated community

June 8, 2024

We lived here for 12 years. The HOA board is combative and out of touch with what residents want and need.

HOA board gave a cut to Golf Course monthly HOA dues and raised Homeowner dues. Makes you wonder what is going on. They don’t own the golf course but obviously the golf course is friends with the board.

None pet friendly, draconian policies and very old and out dated facilities and amenities.

So many nicer communities around…it really impacts home values. Many residents are leaving. Good news there’s a few good buys on homes.

J Cooper

Run down community

February 28, 2024

Old and out of touch community. Nothing is updated here. Much more bang for your buck elsewhere.

Sharon did an outstanding job for me while searching for the right home to purchase in the Trilogy at Vistancia. My successful experience using Sharon as my realtor can be attributed to the following: extensive knowledge of the housing market in the Phoenix metro area with data to back it up, personable relationship skills, negotiating skills and very patient.

Sharon is an incredible real estate agent! She is such a great partner - she communicates well, works hard and is thoughtful about what will help to make your home attractive. We had already moved and she helped organize repairs, cleaners and landscaping in addition to her great work showing the place. Sharon helped us secure a great outcome in a very short amount of time. I would recommend her to anyone!

Five stars are not enough to acknowledge what a great real-estate agent Sharon is. We used her for both buying and selling, the outcome for both resulted in a smooth transition. Without her knowledge of the real-estate business ,and her work ethic this wouldn't have been possible. But most of all Sharon is a kind and caring person, who we would highly recommend .

We interviewed more than one real estate agent to sell our home. It was obvious when Sharon Rowlson arrived for our first meeting that she was organized, knowledgeable, and truly interested in working with us. She also followed up within 24 hours of our initial meeting. Her honesty was appreciated throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Sharon! Rod & Karen Finkle

Sharon is an outstanding realtor and a great person. She is highly ethical and very compassionate. From the first phone call to her, until closing, she was expediently responsive to all my concerns. She worked thru every issue until resolved, without hesitation. A few problems arose from our lender, solar company, and escrow, but Sharon consistently worked through them all. She offered great advice and provided all facts for a complete and smooth process. She is 100% committed and dedicated to each client. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.

Sharon did an excellent job in the listing and sale of our home. She has "people skills", good communicator, a firm grasp of real estate market conditions, knows her market very well. Great at detail and follow-up. Sharon is our Arizona real estate broker!

Sharon Rowlson is by far the best home realtor I have ever used. She is so organized and knows everything you need to do to sell your home. Sharon made the whole process a breeze. I would recommend her highly to any seller.

Sharon Ralson went out of her way to keep all involved in the sale of the house, well informed throughout the process. Her experience enabled us to make informed decisions in preparing the house before going on the market. Sharon was extraordinarily timely and efficient in getting sending the documents required for signing through each stage of the sale, to expedite the timely closing of the house.

For anyone selling or buying a house in a 55+ retirement community. We just sold ours after 6 months listed. Originally it was listed too high and we didn't get anyone to even look. After getting Sharon Rowlson from Home Smart, and listing at a price she felt would do better we started having lookers. After instigating some of her ideas we got even more lookers. Sharon is someone you "can count on" especially if you're already gone from the area. We're in another state & when something came up it was Sharon who took care of it. I don't know what we would have done without her. She works well with people and goes out of her way to make you happy with her performance. An AWESOME realtor.......give her a try. We did and soooo glad we did!!! SB

Sharon is an amazing realtor. She helped us find and buy our retirement home in the Phoenix West Valley area. Her knowledge of the neighborhoods, trends and statistics is extensive, as is her familiarity with the paperwork end of the transaction. I am a very picky buyer since I am an attorney and have a lot of knowledge about these type of transactions myself. Best of all, she is a wonderful and caring person who is just fun to work with! You will be happy you used Sharon to handle your real estate transaction.
