Fulton Ranch, Chandler, AZ
ClozeEZ's guide to Fulton Ranch, Chandler: Fulton Ranch is a 520-acre community in south Chandler centered on Fulton Ranch Boulevard, roughly between Arizona Avenue and Alma School Road and between Ocotillo and Chandler Heights roads. 599 Chandler homes are for sale on ClozeEZ today.
When Fulton Homes launched it in June 2005, the city's own long-range planning manager described it as Chandler's last master-planned community of its scale, since the city expected to be substantially built out residentially by about 2010.
Its signature is a 28-acre system of interconnected lakes, streams, and waterfalls, engineered so the lake bottom sits about 20 feet below grade, which is what lets water actually run between basins across the site. Walking and biking paths follow the water, and waterfront lots form a distinct product tier.
The community carries two builders' DNA: Fulton Homes built the single-family and custom-lot portion, while Cachet Homes developed the townhome and condominium neighborhoods. Housing therefore spans roughly 1,600-square-foot attached homes to 5,000-plus-square-foot custom lakefront estates, with gated enclaves including The Island at Fulton Ranch and the Reserve at Fulton Ranch.
