Updated October 2026. Power Ranch is a family-oriented master-planned community in southeast Gilbert, built around neighborhood parks, two community clubhouses and catch-and-release fishing lakes. For landlords, it pairs steady family rental demand with an established HOA and Higley Unified schools.
Power Ranch at a glance
DMB Development partnered with Sunbelt Holdings on Power Ranch, which DMB describes as 2,284 acres at Power and Germann roads with about 200 acres of open space. Planning began around 2000, and most homes went up through the 2000s, with later phases finishing in the 2010s. Each neighborhood was designed around its own central park, which gives the community a small-town, rural-ranch feel even though the Loop 202 Santan Freeway is close by.

- ZIP: 85297

Homes in Power Ranch
Power Ranch is a collection of numbered neighborhoods, such as Power Ranch Neighborhood 2, rather than one uniform tract. The Town of Gilbert’s HOA registry also lists a Power Ranch Community 9 association, so some homes sit under a sub-association as well as the master HOA. Expect mostly single-family homes from the early to mid 2000s, from production builders such as Greystone Homes, with a range of one- and two-story floor plans.
Don’t confuse Power Ranch with Trilogy at Power Ranch. Trilogy is a guard-gated 55+ community built by Shea Homes with its own association and age rules. Renting there works differently because of its age rules.
Amenities and things to do
The community’s two clubhouses are the center of daily life:
- The Ranch House, with a fishing lake, a lap pool, a shallow play pool, a splash fountain and basketball and sand volleyball courts
- The Barn, a 7,600-square-foot clubhouse in the 7.5-acre Trailside Community Park, with a 2-acre catch-and-release lake, wooden pier, 25-meter pool, catering kitchen and event lawn
- A 10-acre soccer complex, plus tennis courts, playgrounds, ramadas and a trail system linking the neighborhood parks
Outside the gates, the Plaza at Power Ranch Marketplace covers daily errands, and SanTan Village and Agritopia are a short drive west. Gilbert Regional Park at Higley and Queen Creek roads adds a lake, splash pad and sport courts. Banner Gateway Medical Center and Mercy Gilbert Medical Center are the nearest hospitals, and Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is to the southeast.
Schools serving Power Ranch
Power Ranch is in Higley Unified School District. Power Ranch Elementary sits inside the community, with some homes assigned to Centennial Elementary. Older students commonly attend Sossaman Middle School and Higley High School. Boundaries can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the district’s school boundaries page.
HOA and rental rules for landlords
The Power Ranch Community Association runs the clubhouses, lakes and common areas, and residents use an amenity card to get into the pools. The association’s site is mypowerranch.com. We could not find a published leasing policy, so read the current CC&Rs and rules for any minimum lease term before you list.
Arizona’s planned-community statute, A.R.S. 33-1806.01, lets owners rent unless the declaration prohibits it, subject to any rental time-period limits in the declaration. The HOA may ask only for adult occupants’ names and contact information, the lease dates and tenant vehicle descriptions and plates, and may charge no more than $25 per new tenancy for that disclosure. When we place a tenant, we handle that registration and get the amenity card arranged so your residents can use the pools from day one.
Renting out a home in Power Ranch
Power Ranch draws renters who want the full amenity package without buying: families who want a neighborhood park, a Higley Unified elementary school nearby and weekend soccer at the community complex. Commuters like the Loop 202 access toward Chandler’s Price Road corridor and the airport.
What helps a listing here is simple: name the nearest clubhouse and park in the ad, confirm the school assignment in writing and make sure the yard and HOA-visible areas are in good shape before showings. For an owner who wants hands-off service, our Traditional or Property Plus plans are usually the right fit; compare them on our pricing page. You can also see how we work across town on our Gilbert property management page, or request a free rental analysis for your Power Ranch home.
Buying a rental in Power Ranch
Most Power Ranch homes are now 20 years old or more, so budget for the big-ticket items that come due at that age in the East Valley: AC condensers and air handlers, water heaters, and roof underlayment on tile roofs. Ask the seller for service records and have the HOA’s resale disclosure reviewed for dues, any sub-association fees and open violations.
Rental demand here is tied to schools and amenities, so homes near Power Ranch Elementary or a clubhouse tend to be easier to market than homes on busy collector streets. Before you close, register the rental with the Maricopa County Assessor as A.R.S. 33-1902 requires, and read our guide to tenant screening so you know what to expect when the first applications come in.
