Why This Santana Ridge Condo Stands Out
- Rare 2-bedroom Santana Ridge condo with both a detached garage and covered reserved parking
- New luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, updated mechanicals, and more
- Granite kitchen with 42-inch cabinets, plus refrigerator, washer, and dryer included
- Resort-style amenities in a gated South Chandler community
- Strong appeal for both homeowners and long-term investors
Welcome to Santana Ridge in South Chandler
Santana Ridge Luxury Condominiums is located along Gilbert Road in South Chandler, just south of Queen Creek Road. The community is gated and pet-friendly, and residents enjoy multiple pools, a fitness center, clubhouse spaces, BBQ areas, and green spaces to relax and unwind.
Because exterior and common-area maintenance are handled by the HOA, you get the benefit of beautifully kept grounds and resort-style amenities without spending your weekends on yard work or pool care. This makes Santana Ridge especially attractive for busy professionals, frequent travelers, and anyone who prefers a “lock-and-leave” lifestyle.
Inside This Fresh, Move-In Ready 2-Bedroom Santana Ridge Condo
This 1,177 square foot condo has been thoughtfully updated so you can simply move in and start enjoying the Santana Ridge lifestyle.
Interior highlights include:
- 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths with a split layout for privacy
- NEW luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring throughout the condo for a cohesive, modern look
- NEW baseboards, neutral interior paint, toilets, and plumbing flanges for a clean, updated feel
- NEW dishwasher, garbage disposal, water heater, and air handler, with a newer heat pump, for added comfort and peace of mind
- Kitchen with granite countertops, breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances, and 42-inch upper cabinets for excellent storage
- Refrigerator, washer, and dryer included for true move-in convenience
- Cabinets over the washer and dryer for additional laundry-room storage
- Bright great room that flows seamlessly from the kitchen and opens to a private balcony
The open concept makes this home feel larger than the square footage suggests, and the neutral finishes give you a perfect backdrop for your own furniture and décor. The 42-inch kitchen cabinets and extra cabinetry above the washer and dryer help you stay organized and keep everyday items out of sight—especially valuable in a condo. With the refrigerator, washer, and dryer already in place, you can skip big appliance purchases and settle in right away.
The Garage & Parking Advantage
Condos with garages are always in demand, and this Santana Ridge condo in Chandler AZ delivers:
- Rare 1-car detached garage for secure parking or extra storage
- Additional covered reserved parking space for everyday convenience
Having both a garage and a covered reserved space sets this condo apart from many other options in the area. It is one of those features that makes daily life easier—especially in the Arizona sun.
Resort-Style Amenities Right Outside Your Door
One of the biggest reasons buyers are drawn to Santana Ridge is the community amenities. You are not just buying a condo—you are buying a lifestyle.
Community highlights include:
- Two community pools and spa, so you can enjoy the water for most of the year
- Remodeled fitness center, just steps from home—no separate gym membership needed
- Clubhouse and covered seating areas, ideal for gatherings or small events
- BBQ and picnic areas, perfect for casual outdoor meals
- Pet-friendly green spaces and dog-friendly areas
- Gated entry, offering an added sense of privacy
The HOA covers water, sewer, trash, blanket insurance, and exterior/common-area maintenance. That means more predictability in your monthly expenses and less time worrying about exterior upkeep.
Local Lifestyle: Shopping, Dining, and Recreation Nearby
Living in this Santana Ridge condo in South Chandler puts you close to many of the East Valley’s most popular shopping, dining, and outdoor destinations.
Just a short drive away you will find:
– Shopping and dining along the Queen Creek and Gilbert Road corridor
– Larger retail and entertainment options at SanTan Village and Chandler Fashion Center
– Everyday conveniences such as grocery stores, coffee shops, and casual restaurants
For outdoor recreation, nearby parks and trail systems provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Arizona weather—whether you prefer walking paths, playgrounds, or open green spaces.
Easy access to Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) and Loop 101 makes it simple to reach major East Valley employment hubs, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, and the rest of the metro area.
Schools and Education Resources
Many buyers also consider nearby school options when choosing a home. The Chandler and Gilbert area offers a variety of public, charter, and private schools across multiple districts. If schools are part of your decision, it is important to do your own research, review district and school websites, and use independent resources for additional information.
One widely used resource is GreatSchools.org (https://www.greatschools.org/), where you can find school profiles, test scores, and parent reviews to help you compare options that may fit your needs.

Investment Perspective: Santana Ridge Condo in Chandler AZ
If you are considering this condo as part of a longer-term investment strategy, Santana Ridge has strong appeal for renters who value updated interiors, covered parking, and resort-style amenities in a convenient South Chandler location. Based on recent activity in the area, similar 2-bedroom condos in this community have typically rented in roughly the $1,700–$2,000 per month range, depending on condition, furnishings, and lease terms.
With exterior maintenance handled by the HOA and so many recent interior updates already completed, you are more likely to find this property easier to manage day-to-day, without immediately facing a list of repair projects or large replacement expenses.
Actual rents and expenses can vary over time, so it is important to verify current market rents, review HOA rental guidelines, and consult with your real estate and financial professionals before making investment decisions.
