85383 is newer, includes large master-planned and guard-gated communities, has top-rated schools and resort amenities, sits against the Sonoran foothills with view lots, and offers quick access to Loop 303 and Luke AFB-area employment. That mix commands a premium over the older, mostly age-restricted Sun Cities.
›Do 85383 communities have HOAs and CFD taxes?
Most master-planned communities in 85383 carry both an HOA (covering common areas, amenities, and standards) and a Community Facilities District (CFD) tax that funds infrastructure and amenities. This is an important distinction from unincorporated Sun City West. Ask me and I'll quote current dues and CFD rates by community.

Yes — Vistancia, West Wing Mountain, and surrounding neighborhoods include highly rated schools (the BASIS Peoria charter and West Wing K-8 are frequently cited), parks, trails, and proximity to Lake Pleasant. Single-family homes range from low-$400Ks to $1M+.
