Sources ranged from $330,000-$380,000 (explicitly called "the most affordable entry point in the entire East Valley" by one source) to $410,935 (March 2026) to roughly $465,000 (June 2026 single-family closed sales) -- a genuine, disclosed spread rather than one settled figure. Every cited figure still positions Apache Junction below Gilbert and at or below Mesa on a same-period basis.

Rent runs meaningfully below Mesa
Apache Junction's median gross rent ($939/month) runs well below Mesa's ($1,352/month) per the same source's same-methodology comparison -- a real, disclosed advantage for renters considering the East Valley-adjacent area.
