As a long-time Mesa resident and Realtor, I get to see the very best our area has to offer — and Las Sendas is more than just beautiful homes and desert views. It’s a vibrant community with hidden gems and weekend activities you won’t find on the average travel guide.

Whether you’re a local looking for something fresh or visiting with an eye on making Las Sendas your home, here are five weekend adventures to try.

1. Browse the Farmers Market & Local Artisans

Saturday mornings in Mesa come alive with open-air farmers markets. The Downtown Mesas farmers market (just minutes from Las Sendas) is a great place to grab fresh produce, locally baked bread, and handcrafted goods. The Rosetta Room also has a wonderful market (Farm to Mesa Market) every Sunday from 9am-1pm.  I love chatting with the vendors — you’ll often hear the story behind each jar of jam or bag of coffee beans.

Pro Tip: Go early for the best selection and bring cash for those irresistible impulse buys.

2. Take a Discovery Flight

See Mesa From Above – With a Slightly Biased Recommendation
Ever wondered what Mesa looks like from a few thousand feet up? At Desert Wings Flight School, you can take a short discovery flight that gives you sweeping views of the desert, Mesa, and maybe even your own backyard. It’s breathtaking, unforgettable… and yes, I might be a little biased, because Desert Wings Flight School happens to be owned by my husband.

Insider Tip: Book a morning flight for cooler air and the clearest, most stunning views.

3. Explore the Usery Mountain Regional Park

Right on Las Sendas’ doorstep, Usery Mountain is a hiker’s dream. Try the Wind Cave Trail for a moderate hike with incredible city and mountain views. Bring a camera — the sunsets here are nothing short of magic.

Local Tip: If you go in spring, you might catch the wildflowers in bloom.

4. Indulge in Desert Dining with a View

One of Las Sendas’ best-kept secrets is The Patio at Las Sendas Golf Club. You can sip a cocktail, enjoy live music, and watch the sun dip behind Red Mountain. It’s where locals go when they want to relax without leaving the neighborhood.

Best Seat in the House: The fire pit tables on the edge of the patio.

5. Quick Dip and a Round of Golf in the Backyard

Okay, this one’s not technically open to the public — but if you’ve ever dreamed of a backyard with a diving pool, dual water slides, and even a zipline (yes, really!), Las Sendas has some truly unique homes. As a Realtor, I’ve had the privilege of touring some of these incredible properties, and I can tell you — they’re as fun as they sound!

Why I Love Las Sendas

For me, Las Sendas isn’t just a place to live — it’s a lifestyle. From stunning desert views to friendly neighbors and endless recreation, weekends here feel like a getaway.

If you’d like to know more about life in Las Sendas — or even explore available homes — I’d love to give you a personal tour of the neighborhood I call home.
