Several housing areas in Maricopa have grandiose entrances like this---not exactly a homey atmosphere. I've been told that the initial development in this area was designed as a resort community. This entranceway, a divided road lined with palms, fits that description.
At night the palms are illuminated---quite pretty.

This view looks north across Smith Enke Road at a
development called "The Lakes at Rancho El Dorado."
