In Arizona, one of the first things buyers ask about is the air conditioning. At 922 S 98th St, that box is already checked. The air conditioning system was replaced in 2025, removing one of the biggest concerns buyers have when evaluating a home.
Add to that no HOA, owned land, and single-level living, and this Mesa property offers a level of flexibility and predictability that is increasingly hard to find.
This home is not in a 55+ community. There is no HOA. And there is no lot rent.
Who this home tends to appeal to right away
Buyers looking for a Mesa home with no HOA, owned land, and single-level living often compare properties like this to leased-land communities or age-restricted neighborhoods. This home stands out for buyers who want to avoid lot rent, keep monthly costs more predictable, and have freedom in how they use their property.
Why owned land makes a real difference
Many homes in this area sit on leased land. While they may look appealing upfront, lot rent often increases over time, changing monthly expenses and affecting resale.
Here, you own the land. There is no lot rent and no association fee. Unlike many East Mesa communities where buyers pay ongoing lot rent, this home removes that monthly obligation and the uncertainty that comes with future increases.
For many buyers, that alone is a deciding factor.
Not a 55+ community means broader options
This home is not age restricted. There are no age-based occupancy rules or community lifestyle limitations.
That flexibility matters now and later. Homes without age restrictions typically appeal to a wider range of buyers, which can be helpful if plans change down the road.
I regularly help buyers who want to live in Mesa without being locked into a specific type of community, and this property fits that goal well.
A single-level layout with room to adapt
The home offers 1,344 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a separate den or bonus room. The layout is single level, which many buyers prefer for everyday living.
The den could easily be converted into a third bedroom if needed. Buyers often use this space as a home office or hobby room now, with the option to adapt it later.
Lock and leave living with low exterior upkeep
This property works well as a lock and leave home, largely due to its desert landscaping and manageable exterior maintenance. There is no grass to care for and no HOA requirements dictating yard upkeep.
The extra-large covered patio adds usable outdoor space without adding work, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors without committing to ongoing maintenance.
Storage, hobby space, and parking flexibility
This home offers a level of usable space that is hard to find without an HOA.
Key features include:
- Air conditioning system replaced in 2025
- Washer, dryer, and refrigerator included
- Separate work or hobby area with electric
- Two private on-site storage sheds
- Two-car covered carport plus additional slab parking
- Space at the rear of the property suitable for an RV, boards, or other recreational items
For many buyers, this kind of flexibility becomes the deciding factor.

Who this home may not be the best fit for
Buyers who want gated amenities, shared pools, or HOA-managed landscaping may prefer a different type of neighborhood.
