he “lock-and-leave” aspect of condominium and townhome living has even greater meaning these days — thanks to all the features developers are including in the units and in the communities themselves.
At Cachet at The Wigwam in Litchfield Park for example, developer and builder Cachet Homes provides a variety of maintenance services with residents’ HOA fees. The community has 44 condos (starting in the $270s) and 69 townhomes (starting in the $330s). “The condos, a Villa product, are a complete lock-and-leave,” said Sue Goodrich, vice president of sales and marketing for Cachet Homes. “You never have to worry about exterior paint, roof issues or landscape. That is all maintained by the HOA.” She added that the monthly HOA fee includes water

and sewer services and structural insurance. “The townhome is also a great option for those that want a lock-and-leave product,” she said. “Your front yard maintenance and exterior paint are maintained by the HOA. Your rear yard is yours to maintain but we find a lot of people install desert landscape
In Flagstaff, construction has begun on Mountain Vista, a village of condominiums within the Pine Canyon master-planned community that caters to buyers who appreciate a lock-and-leave lifestyle, said Deana Keck, executive vice president of community development and sales for Pine Canyon. At build-out, Mountain Vista will include 12 buildings with 48 total units, she said, each with upper- and lower-level units ranging in size from 1,640 square-feet to 1,990 square-feet. Prices have not been definitively set yet, but will likely start in the mid-$700s. Owners have the option of choosing fully furnished units and may choose to have Pine Canyon manage their unit in their absence. The Mountain Vista community is private, with “24/7 security at both entrances and hourly patrols. We are currently installing a gate system to enhance the safety of all residents,” Keck said, adding that “we plan on installing the latest smart-home technology.” The fully furnished option at Mountain Vista will offer four design styles. “We believe that this will be a very popular feature. Residents won’t need to shop for anything. We will provide everything, right down to the dinnerware.” Condo living “is very much about convenience,” Keck emphasized. “To that end, Pine Canyon has plans to offer Mountain Vista owners access to a fully managed concierge program. The program will not only make sure the units are impeccable for owners upon arrival but will also ensure that the units are stocked with groceries and unique items.

“Seasonal buyers tend to seek highly amenitized communities that provide secure access for the lock-and-leave lifestyle.” —David Hovey Jr., Optima Kierland Optima Kierland
For urban communities, location is a top priority — e.g., walkable convenience to stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, etc. “Seasonal buyers tend to seek highly amenitized communities that provide secure access for the lock-and-leave lifestyle,” said David Hovey Jr., AIA, president of Optima Kierland, Phoenix, whose Phase I 12-story condominium tower includes 173 one- to five-bedroom homes. Located on approximately 10 acres at Scottsdale Road and Kierland Boulevard, Optima Kierland includes sports and exercise facilities such as a 16,000 squarefoot indoor/outdoor fitness center, golf simulator, and indoor basketball and squash
For high-country devotees, the 620-plus-acre community of Pine Canyon, surrounded by the Coconino National Forest, offers championship golf, views of the San Francisco Peaks, a 35,000 square-foot clubhouse with a spa, fitness center and dining, a second recreation-focused amenity building and a number of family-oriented amenities. A two-hour drive from Phoenix, Pine Canyon offers townhomes, condominiums, detached single-family homes, custom homes and home-sites. In addition, residents and prospective residents can rent luxury Club Cabins, which provide an owner’s experience, including service from Pine Canyon’s hospitality team.

or many Arizonans, their condo/ townhome is a home for all seasons. For others, it does vacation or getaway duty. Wherever the location, buyers have chosen the particular setting for the area’s climate and lifestyle amenities as well as the comfort and security of lock-and-leave living. In addition, communities with seasonal-property security, maintenance or management options are also attractive to part-time buyers, said Deana Keck, executive vice president of community development and sales for Pine Canyon, a private master-planned golf course and residential community in Flagstaff.
