Boutique Luxury · GatedTuscany

A Note on Sample Size
Three closed sales in 90 months keeps Tuscany squarely in the "lifestyle first, pricing second" category for this guide. The good news: those three sales clustered tightly in both price and per-square-foot terms, which suggests the community has a defensible price corridor even if the sample is small.
Why Locals Love It.
This is the kind of gated community that sells itself on cohesion. All homes built in 1997, all built in a recognizable Mediterranean / Tuscan idiom, all on roughly the same lot footprint. Drive in and the community feels intentional, not stitched together. For buyers who want a luxury home without the chaos of a 20-year build span, that consistency is the value.
Gated entry with consistent 1997 build-year stock
Vaulted/coffered ceilings and Tuscan exteriors define the look
Third-acre lots — generous without being maintenance-heavy
Several lots back washes or greenbelts (privacy and view bonus)
Single-level floor plans dominate — split-bedroom layouts are common
Good to Know
The 1997 build year is a double-edged sword. These homes are old enough that anything not yet remodeled needs a remodel budget — kitchens, primary baths, roof condition, HVAC are all worth scrutinizing at this age. Several recent sales were post-remodel, which sets a high bar buyers should be ready to match if they buy an unrefreshed home.
Build year is 1997 across the board — plan for systems updates
Recently sold homes have been heavily remodeled (kitchens, baths, flooring)
HOA in place — gated community with shared upkeep
Tight inventory means buyers often have to move fast when something lists
Median DOM 75 days, but that masks tighter ranges on updated homes
Why it works.
Pro Tip
Tuscany homes that aren't already remodeled often present as a steal compared to the updated comps — but the remodel math matters. I'll bring a contractor cost walk-through to any showing of an unrefreshed home so you know what your true all-in number is before you write.
HONEST TRADEOFF
You get cohesive architecture and a gated experience at a price point that's accessible by 85226 luxury standards — but you're buying into homes that are approaching three decades old. The lot sizes are modest by neighborhood standards (~0.3 acres), so this is more 'right-sized luxury' than 'estate luxury.' Right buyer, right answer.
Who this fits.
“Tuscany is what I show buyers who love the gated-community feel of Trovita but don’t need 5,000+ square feet. It’s the smaller, tighter, more accessible version — and homes here trade in a believable price corridor once you adjust for remodel status.”

Thinking about Tuscany?
Tuscany doesn't have a lot of inventory, which means timing matters. If you want me to watch for the right home, I run searches like this for buyers every day.
