GILBERT, Ariz., April 22, 2025 -- Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., today announced the start of preleasing at Modera Higley Commons, a mixed-use garden-style community in the Southeast Valley of metropolitan Phoenix.
Modera Higley Commons, which features 276 homes and approximately 19,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, is located just off the Loop 202 freeway in southeast Gilbert. The community is within a quick commute of the various shopping, dining and entertainment options contained within SanTan Village, an open-air lifestyle center.

"We're excited to welcome our first residents to Modera Higley Commons, which we believe serves as a unique and top-of-market living option in the area," said Mark Sanford, vice president of development in Arizona for Mill Creek Residential. "The community design is inspired by the farm-centric agricultural roots of the former Higley community, combined with modern elements aimed to create a tranquil and refined home for our residents. We're eager to officially join the neighborhood."
Situated at 3071 East Ray Road, the community offers convenient access to Higley Road and Loop 202, which provide expedient connectivity to the thriving Southeast Valley employment centers.
