Local history
Mesa was settled in 1878 by Mormon pioneers who rebuilt and reused irrigation canals first dug by the Hohokam people centuries earlier. The town incorporated in 1883 and grew as a farming community of citrus, cotton and dairies. The Arizona Temple was completed in 1927 and is still one of Mesa’s best-known landmarks.
World War II brought Falcon Field and Williams Field, and the postwar years brought rapid growth. Mesa is now Arizona’s third-largest city, and the former Williams Air Force Base is Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, the anchor for new neighborhoods in southeast Mesa.
Housing market
Mesa has some of the widest variety of housing in the Valley. Near downtown you will find early 1900s bungalows and 1940s to 60s block homes. The 1970s and 80s brought neighborhoods like Dobson Ranch, and the hillside communities of Las Sendas and Red Mountain Ranch came later. Mesa also has many manufactured home and 55+ communities popular with winter visitors.
The newest growth is in southeast Mesa around Eastmark and the Gateway airport, where brand-new homes are still going up. Old or new, each type of home comes with its own common problems.
What I look for
From the inspection blog:
On video
Orangeburg pipe is made from wood fiber and tar, and it was used under some Mesa homes built before the 1970s. With age it flattens and caves in. This is what that looks like on camera. Watch on YouTube or read the post.

FAQ

Yes, including homes in 55+ and manufactured home communities.
Yes. I offer pre-drywall, final walkthrough and 11-month warranty inspections.
Yes. Plenty of older Mesa neighborhoods still flood irrigate. I check the berms, the grading and the stem wall so the water stays in the yard and away from the house.
