New construction in Gilbert is becoming harder to find, not because demand dropped, but because available land is running out. That means the communities still in the pipeline tend to fall into two categories… higher-end, more intentional neighborhoods, or smaller pockets that move quickly once people discover them.

If you’re planning a move in 2025–2026, these are the Gilbert new build communities worth knowing about right now, and who each one actually fits.

Granview at Somerset – David Weekley Homes 

David Weekley Homes

Granview at Somerset is one of the last true large-lot luxury opportunities Gilbert has left. Located inside the established Somerset master plan, this community is planned for 75 single-family homes on 90-, 95-, and 105-foot-wide lots, which is almost unheard of for new builds in Gilbert today.

Homes are expected to range from roughly 3,700 to 5,400+ square feet, with community features like sports courts, trails, fire pits, playgrounds, and ramadas. This one is still in the early planning and pre-model stage, which means buyers paying attention early usually have the best lot and pricing options.

Best for: families wanting space, long-term homes, and a more custom feel without going fully custom.

Stonegate Court – Toll Brothers

Toll Brothers

Stonegate Court is small, gated, and very intentional. Only 22 homes total, with lots exceeding 15,000 square feet, which immediately separates it from most Gilbert neighborhoods.

This is not a mass-build community. It’s designed for buyers who care about privacy, architectural quality, and lot size more than quantity. Once homes here are gone, they’re gone.

Best for: buyers wanting a quiet, premium gated neighborhood with limited turnover.

Waterston – Tri Pointe Homes

Tri Pointe Homes

Waterston continues to gain traction as one of South Gilbert’s more balanced master-planned areas. Current releases include two-story homes ranging from approximately 2,450 to 3,850 square feet, with pricing generally starting in the $700,000s and up, depending on plan and release timing.

This community is actively selling and building, making it a good option for buyers who want new construction now, not years down the road.

Best for: move-up buyers who want modern layouts, amenities, and a strong neighborhood feel without jumping into ultra-luxury pricing.

Arboreta Estates – Custom Homesites

Arboreta Estates is one of the few remaining gated custom-style pockets in Gilbert. The community is planned for just 13 homesites, with several already sold, and is intended for buyers who want more control over design while still living in a structured neighborhood.

This is not production building. It’s slow, intentional, and appeals to buyers who know exactly what they want.

Best for: custom-minded buyers who want a refined street feel without managing a full custom build from scratch.

Bella Storia

Bella Storia often gets misunderstood. This is not a large estate-home community, and it’s not trying to be. Instead, it offers a more attainable new construction option in Gilbert for buyers who want updated layouts, newer finishes, and a practical location.

The community is smaller in scale and focused on livability over lot size.

Best for: first-time and early move-up buyers who want new construction in Gilbert without chasing the highest price points.

33 North – Woodside Homes

Woodside Homes

33 North offers a clean, modern new-build option for buyers who want Gilbert living without the premium pricing of gated luxury neighborhoods. Floor plans focus on functional layouts, manageable lot sizes, and everyday livability.

This community tends to appeal to buyers who want something newer but don’t need massive square footage or oversized lots.

Best for: buyers who want new construction, good design, and value without overbuying.

Lusitano

Lusitano is still in its early awareness phase, with details continuing to roll out. It’s one of those communities that tends to reward buyers who pay attention early, before it becomes widely marketed.

As more information becomes public, this one may shift quickly from “watchlist” to “active opportunity.”

Best for: buyers who like being early and want flexibility before pricing and phases fully settle.

Why timing matters in Gilbert

Gilbert isn’t expanding outward the way Queen Creek or San Tan Valley can. That means fewer new communities, smaller project sizes, and more competition for the good ones.

If you’re considering new construction here, the biggest advantage right now is early positioning, not rushing later when options narrow.
