Updated October 2026. Trilogy at Power Ranch is a guard-gated, age-restricted (55+) community that Shea Homes built in southeast Gilbert between 1999 and 2008. You can rent a home here, but the tenant household has to fit the community’s age rules, and that shapes everything from who you market to how the HOA screens occupants.

Construction began in 1999, the same year Shea Homes introduced its Trilogy brand. The community sits beside the larger Power Ranch master plan, with its clubhouse and the golf course on Village Parkway. It has its own association, separate from the Power Ranch Community Association, and the Town of Gilbert lists it as a private community.

Homes in Trilogy
Homes are single-family, built in numbered units (for example, Trilogy Unit 4) over roughly a decade, so a 2001 home and a 2007 home can feel quite different inside. Floor plans and lot types vary, and some homes back onto the golf course. Because the newest homes are now close to 20 years old, original AC systems, water heaters and interior finishes are often being replaced, which shows up in rental condition and pricing.
Amenities and the golf course
The clubhouse is the social hub. It includes a fitness center, ballroom, library, card room and studios for ceramics, stained glass and arts and crafts. Outdoors there are two pools and a spa, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce, horseshoe pits and walking paths.
The 18-hole course opened as Trilogy Golf Club at Power Ranch and was renamed Power Ranch Golf Club in 2019. Thompson Golf Group acquired it in 2006, and architect Gary Brawley led a roughly $3 million greens and bunker renovation in 2023, according to Troon’s magazine. Outside the gates, the Plaza at Power Ranch Marketplace and SanTan Village handle shopping, and Banner Gateway and Mercy Gilbert medical centers are the nearest hospitals.
Schools near Trilogy
Schools matter less inside a 55+ community, but they still affect resale appeal in the wider area. Southeast Gilbert is served mainly by Higley Unified and, in parts, Chandler Unified. If school assignment matters for a buyer or for a grandparent’s planning, check the exact address with Higley’s boundary page or Chandler’s boundary tool.
HOA and 55+ rental rules for landlords
Federal fair housing law lets a community limit occupancy to older residents only if it qualifies as housing for older persons. Under HUD’s rule at 24 CFR 100.305, at least 80 percent of occupied units must have at least one resident aged 55 or older. The community must also verify ages through surveys or affidavits updated at least every two years (24 CFR 100.307). Your rental counts toward that 80 percent, so the association will care who lives in it.
Arizona’s HOA rental statute, A.R.S. 33-1806.01, reflects this. In an age-restricted community the association may require a government-issued photo ID showing the tenant meets the age requirement, along with adult occupants’ names and contact details, lease dates and vehicle information. The disclosure fee is capped at $25 per new tenancy. Owners may rent unless the declaration prohibits it, subject to any rental time-period limits, so read the Trilogy CC&Rs for minimum lease terms and rules on younger occupants before you sign a lease. This isn’t legal advice.
In practice, that means we screen for the age rule up front and get the HOA paperwork in before move-in. We also make sure the tenant gets the gate and amenity access they need. Fair housing rules still apply to everything else, as our Arizona Fair Housing Act guide explains.
Renting out a home in Trilogy
The renter pool here is narrower but motivated. Typical renters are active adults trying the community before they buy, people relocating to be near family in the East Valley, and longer-stay seasonal residents. They often value a quiet, well-kept home, single-level living, golf or clubhouse access and a landlord who answers maintenance requests quickly.
Because many of these tenants stay a long time when the home is right, renewals and steady upkeep matter more than squeezing out top rent. Our Property Plus plan adds landlord protection and HomeCare Checks, which suits owners who live out of state.

Buying a rental in Trilogy
Run the numbers with the smaller tenant pool in mind; vacancy can last longer than in a family subdivision if the home is priced high or dated. Look at the HOA’s dues, reserve health and any planned special assessments in the resale disclosure. Inspect closely for aging AC equipment, water heaters, tile-roof underlayment and irrigation.
Golf-course lots and updated single-level plans tend to draw the most interest. Confirm your use fits the CC&Rs and register the rental with the Maricopa County Assessor under A.R.S. 33-1902 before a tenant moves in.
