Which Province Homes Have a Casita?

Updated September 2026

What a casita is in Province

In Province a casita is a separate guest suite attached to the front courtyard or side of the main home, with its own exterior entrance, a bedroom, and a full bath, and sometimes a kitchenette. It is under the same roofline and on the same lot, not a detached building. Listings code it as a separate guest house or as guest quarters with a separate entrance. It is different from a den, which most Province homes have, and from a second primary suite inside the main house, which some larger plans have.

Which plans have one

Engle offered the casita as an option on its larger plans, and that is where nearly all of them are: Gardenia and Orchid most often, then Lavender and Lilac (both sold in casita versions), Violet, Wisteria, and Lily. Those homes were built between 2003 and 2007 in the original parcels. Among Meritage plans, a handful of Fermo and Simone homes include guest quarters. No villa has a casita. The plan list is on the plan catalog.

How the layout works

Most casita homes are three-bedroom, three-bath configurations: two bedrooms plus a den in the main house and the third bedroom and bath in the casita, with the casita door opening to a gated front courtyard. Several are four-bedroom. Nine of the 46 carry three-car garages and eleven sit on the water. The private-entrance layout is what buyers ask for: a place for visiting family, a caregiver, or a live-in family member that does not run through the main living space.

How casita homes sell

Casita homes are larger and sell above the Province median; in the closed records behind this site, the casita subset's median sale price runs well above the community-wide median, driven by size, plan, and lot as much as the casita itself. The premium for the casita alone is not a fixed number, so James prices a casita listing from closed casita comps, and buyers should expect competition when one lists. Selling one starts on the sell page.

Casitas and the age-qualification rules

A casita does not change who may live in the home. The association's age-qualification policy applies to every occupant of the property, including anyone in the casita, and the rules on caregivers, adult children, and guests are set in the recorded CC&Rs. Read them before buying a casita home with a specific household in mind, and consult an Arizona-licensed attorney for an unusual situation. The general concept is on how age qualification works.

Finding one

Casita homes turn over slowly: 46 records across several years of listings. The search is by plan and parcel, not by keyword alone, because agents describe them inconsistently.
