enough to have opinions about which side of the lake has the better sunset. For a buyer relocating from somewhere with a stronger sense of neighborhood than the Phoenix metro typically delivers, The Islands tends to be the first community that makes the desert feel like a real answer. This three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home at 126 S. Bay Dr. sits inside Martinique III, one of the quieter pockets of the community, and at $525,000 it's one of the more accessible entry points into a neighborhood that commands consistent buyer interest. The home was built in 1994 by Blandford Homes and has been updated in the ways that actually shift how a house feels to live in day to day. The kitchen was refreshed in 2025 with updated cabinets and epoxy counters. The flooring was updated in 2023. The bathrooms were touched in 2021. None of these are full gut renovations, but they're the right things to update, done in the right order, and what you're getting is a home that doesn't need your first year of weekends. At 2,016 square feet across two stories, the layout earns its space. The main level opens with wood-look tile throughout and vaulted ceilings that pull the eye up and make the rooms feel larger than the square footage suggests. The family room flows naturally toward the kitchen, which has a breakfast bar, a pantry, and bay windows that let in the kind of light that makes a kitchen feel like the center of the house rather than a room you pass through. In other words, someone can cook while still being part of whatever's happening around them. The main level also has a den large enough to function as a real home office, an inside laundry area, and a powder room for guests. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are actual bedrooms with doors that close. The primary suite is the largest of the three and has a walk-in closet that's genuinely roomy, not a real estate technicality. The primary bathroom has double sinks, a separate tub and shower, and the kind of layout that makes getting ready in the morning feel less like a negotiation. The two secondary bedrooms share the full hall bath, and the arrangement gives everyone on the upper level reasonable breathing room. The home sits on 5,780 square feet of lot, fully fenced with block walls and front and back irrigation already in place. There's a covered patio off the back. The 2.5-car garage gives you two vehicles and actual usable storage. The home also has a water softener owned and included, which is the kind of detail that doesn't make headlines but matters every single day in Arizona. If you've been searching the East Valley and keep coming back to Gilbert, this is the neighborhood that tends to answer the question of why. If you're relocating and want a community with an actual pulse rather than a subdivision that happens to have a name, The Islands delivers that in a way that's genuinely rare in the Phoenix metro. This home is right for a buyer who wants to land in a neighborhood people are proud of, at a price point that makes the math work today, in a community that's going to keep being desirable long after the move-in boxes are unpacked.
