Cobblestone Farms is one of the first communities that put Maricopa on the map as a place to live. Let's get to know the neighborhood — the location, the history, the amenities — and tour three homes at three price points so you can see what your money gets you here.
Cobblestone Farms is one of the first communities in Maricopa — the kind that helped people realize this was a great place to live. It's one of the two northernmost neighborhoods, with direct access to the 347 (your route up to the Phoenix metro) and the nearby 238 heading west toward the 8 and California. The bulk of the homes went up between about 2004 and 2007; the 2006 housing crash stalled construction for a while (some homes weren't finished until ~2017), but it's now fully built out. Two things set it apart: it was built by a single builder, Fulton Homes (most Maricopa communities use several), and it's the only community in Maricopa with basements in some homes — a real rarity in Arizona's hard-to-dig ground.
When I filmed, the HOA worked out to about $118/month (billed quarterly), and you get a lot for it: a pool, splash pad, several parks, a lake, biking and jogging paths, basketball courts, horseshoes, BBQ areas, and basic cable included.
~$370,000 — a 3 bed / 2 bath + bonus room, ~1,689 sq ft (built 2006) on a 5,400 sq ft lot. A nice entry point with a multipurpose room, vaulted plus 9-ft ceilings, a gas range, and a walk-in closet in the primary. The backyard even came with mature citrus and a pomegranate tree, free with purchase.
~$435,000 — a 3 bed / 2 bath + bonus room, ~2,200 sq ft (built 2005) on a 7,800 sq ft lot, with a three-car garage. More space all around; laminate counters (less common here) and some DIY touches, but a real step up in room. The seller left the water softener — handy, since Maricopa's water is hard.
~$575,000 — the biggest of the three: a two-story, 5 bed / 3 bath + two bonus rooms, ~3,930 sq ft (built 2006). Good condition with original-but-solid finishes (some buyers would update), a big loft, real-wood floors upstairs, a converted walk-in bathtub in a downstairs bath, and a backyard built for entertaining — smoker/grill, pizza oven, wine fridge, sink, and a pool.
As with any home, get an inspection — these are 15-to-20-year-old homes now, mostly in good shape but worth checking. And plan on a water softener if a home doesn't have one (Maricopa's water is hard). Want to compare neighborhoods or check the commute? See my neighborhoods overview and the 347 commute guide.
It's one of Maricopa's original communities and one of the two northernmost, with direct access to the 347 (up to Phoenix) and the nearby 238 heading west. It's also unusual in two ways: it was built by a single builder (Fulton Homes), and it's the only community in Maricopa with basements in some homes - a rarity in Arizona's hard ground.
Yes - it's the only Maricopa community I know of with basements in some homes. Basements are uncommon in Arizona because the ground is tough to dig, so it's a genuine differentiator. They're not always available for sale, though, so if a basement is a must-have, let me know and I'll watch for one.

Most homes were built between about 2004 and 2007 (a few finished later, after the 2006 crash slowed things), and the community is now fully built out. On my tour, the three homes ranged from roughly $370,000 (3 bed, ~1,689 sq ft) to about $575,000 (5 bed, ~3,930 sq ft, two-story). Prices move - ask me for current listings.
Most do - Maricopa generally has hard water, so a softener is recommended if a home doesn't already have one (some sellers leave theirs behind). A few rural spots have softer water, but well water usually isn't soft. It's an easy add if you need it.
I'll send you what's for sale (basements included, if any), walk it with you, and make sure you're represented. Free Zoom, no pressure.
