In the rush to build new housing in the face of high demand, some Mesa residents are anxious about their neighborhoods changing overnight with an influx of hundreds or thousands of new residents with one large project.
That struggle is playing out in a battle over a high-density multi-family housing development planned for northeast Mesa.
Developer DHI Communities wants to build 339 apartments with retail on a roughly 20-acre, horseshoe-shaped parcel wrapped around the eastern edge of the Longbow Golf Club course, at Recker Road and McDowell, near the Desert Trails Bike Park.
