Mesa’s N. Center Revitilization Association neighborhood is home to Oasis at Mesa Palms, an independent living community at 1418 N Country Club Dr. The three-story building isn’t in a walkable pocket of town. Its Walk Score sits at 23, car-dependent territory, so plan on driving for errands. Jeramy runs the place as Executive Director.
This isn’t a care facility in the clinical sense; residents live on their own in private one- and two-bedroom suites, somewhere between 685 and 978 square feet depending on the layout. There’s no medical or personal care assistance built into the model here. What you get instead is independence, paired with the conveniences that make independence easier: an in-unit washer and dryer, utilities folded into your costs, and internet access without having to set anything up yourself.
The shared spaces do a lot of the social lifting; a restaurant-style dining room runs on flexible plans, so meals aren’t a rigid obligation. There’s a fitness center for people who want to stay active, plus a library, a computer room, and space for arts and crafts. A swimming pool and jacuzzi round out the more resort-like end of things, and a community center gives residents somewhere to gather beyond their own four walls.
An activities director keeps a regular calendar running, which matters more than it sounds like it should when you’re trying to build a routine somewhere new. Pets are welcome too, which isn’t a small detail for anyone who wasn’t planning to leave a dog or cat behind.
Monthly costs run $1,525 to $1,575 for a one-bedroom and $1,689 to $1,999 for a two-bedroom. That’s independent living pricing: you’re paying for space, amenities, and dining, not caregiving staff. Taken together, this is a fit for someone who’s still largely self-sufficient and wants a lower-maintenance version of home, with the social infrastructure of a community built in around them.

Mera Westgate is an independent living community in Glendale, AZ, for adults age 55 and older who want private living with community services while remaining independent and taking part in activities and events. There is no daily care.
Residents can choose one, two, or three-bedroom apartments. Programs called Fun to be Had and Your New Home offer organized ways to engage with the community, while the pet-friendly policy allows residents to keep a pet in their apartment.

Park Terrace Senior Living is an independent living community in Phoenix, Arizona. The home at 2577 West Greenway Road in the Fountains Resort Hotel neighborhood sits on a 17-acre property. It features terraces and walking paths, providing residents with outdoor spaces and opportunities for serene recreation. The home offers studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments tailored to give occupants privacy and room to live independently.
The property comprises a fitness studio, pool, and breakfast bar for daily use. An open bar with happy hour is a regular gathering place, and live entertainment occurs weekly.
