Dobbins Manor is a newer KB Home community in southeast Laveen, the City of Phoenix urban village west of South Mountain. Its homes sit around Dobbins Road between roughly 28th and 35th avenues, close to the west end of South Mountain Park and Preserve. KB Home built and sold the community in recent years, so resale homes here are still young and often compete with builder sales nearby.
I price your home against recent resales of the same or similar KB Home plan in the community first, then adjust for lot, upgrades and the extras you’ve added since closing.
Plan. KB Home offered several plans and collections here, so the closest comparisons are the same plan and size.
Finished extras. Landscaping, window coverings, a covered patio, a pool or upgraded flooring added after closing are real advantages over a new build.
Lot and view. Homes with views toward South Mountain or with larger or corner lots draw more interest.
Builder warranty. A recently built home may still have warranty coverage left, and I confirm what transfers to a buyer.
The community has association-maintained parks, playground areas and paths, and South Mountain Park and Preserve’s west side is close by for hiking and mountain biking. In a listing, I spell out what the association maintains and how close your home is to the trails.
Dobbins Manor is generally served by the Laveen Elementary and Phoenix Union High School districts; buyers confirm the specific schools by address. Dobbins Road and 27th and 35th avenues are the main local routes, with Baseline Road shopping a short drive north and the Loop 202 a short drive away.
Buyers here can also buy new from builders in southern Laveen, often with rate buydowns or closing-cost help. I check current builder pricing and incentives, document your upgrades, confirm the warranty that transfers, and request the HOA documents early. Sometimes a seller credit toward the buyer’s rate does more than a price cut, and I’ll show you both.
My marketing includes a Zillow 3D Home tour, a dedicated property website, live virtual showings and, when it helps, a Coming Soon period before the first showing.

The market report on this page shows current Dobbins Manor listings from ARMLS. Because the community is newer, I build your price from recent resales of the same plan, closed KB Home sales and current builder pricing nearby.
Dobbins Manor is generally served by the Laveen Elementary School District and the Phoenix Union High School District. I point buyers to each district’s school locator to confirm assignments for a specific address.
The association maintains the parks, paths and common areas. Buyers weigh these against the dues, so I list exactly what comes with your home.
Dobbins Manor homeowners drive north to Baseline Road for groceries and errands, and newer shopping is opening near the Loop 202.
From Dobbins Manor, the Loop 202 connects east to Ahwatukee and Tempe and north to I-10 west of downtown. I give buyers realistic drive times from your address.
Dobbins Manor is within the City of Phoenix.
Service boundaries can change at community edges, so confirm the agencies for a specific address with the City of Phoenix. For police reports and statistics, contact the police department directly.
Arizona General Hospital – Laveen, near Baseline Road and 51st Avenue, is a short drive north, and urgent care clinics are along Baseline Road.
Dobbins Manor sits close to the west end of South Mountain Park and Preserve, and the community’s own parks and paths cover everyday walks. Photos lead with the yard and the mountain views.
The community association holds resident events, and Laveen’s village events are a short drive north. I time listings for the winter and spring season when I can.
Phoenix summers are hot and winters mild, with monsoon storms in late summer. In a newer home, buyers and inspectors still check the AC, water heater and drainage, and I confirm what the builder warranty covers. Servicing the AC before listing is one of the simplest steps you can take.
Dobbins Manor is under City of Phoenix zoning, and its homeowners association enforces CC&Rs and architectural review for exterior changes, landscaping and paint. Arizona requires sellers in a planned community to provide association documents to the buyer, and I request them early so they don’t hold up escrow.
With the Loop 202 and 27th Avenue nearby, Dobbins Manor buyers have several routes to downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor and Tempe, and many work from home part of the week.
Your property tax is listed by parcel on the Maricopa County Treasurer’s website. HOA dues and any transfer fees come from the association’s disclosure. On newer homes, the property tax can change in the first years as the county updates its valuation. When we estimate your net, I walk through the usual Arizona seller costs, including the owner’s title policy that sellers customarily pay.
Dobbins Manor is in the City of Phoenix, which provides water, trash, streets and parks, with police and fire service from the city. Remodels, pools and additions go through the City of Phoenix permit process, and buyers often ask whether past work was permitted. Gathering those permits before we list saves time during escrow.
