Dreamland Villa is a retirement community situated in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States.[2][3] It was one of the first retirement communities built in Arizona.[4] Begun as a development in 1959 by Ross Farnsworth, within fifteen years it encompassed 3000 homes.[5] It has an estimated elevation of 1,371 feet (418 m) above sea level.[1]
In 1978, residents opposed annexation by the city of Mesa.[6] In 1979, 80 percent of Dreamland Villa residents supported a county senior citizen zoning area, which limited residents to people over 50 years of age. The measure passed. At this time, around 5,200 people lived in Dreamland Villa.[7]
