New homes in the Sonoran Hills of Phoenix

A new kind of community is being woven into the Sonoran Hills, northwest of Phoenix, in Peoria Arizona. Where mountain biking trails travel higher, nature is wilder, city life is close enough and community has an artful touch. With homes inspired by the landscape they inhabit, life at Saddleback will be as extraordinary as the sunsets. Coming spring 2026.

Outside the city, desert becomes hill, and hill becomes mountain. Saguaro and palo verde grow taller together. Trails tie arroyo to ridge and home to nature. Nearby Lake Pleasant shimmers in the Arizona light. And sunsets are measured by applause. Here, a more intentional life starts with a more interesting landscape.

First new home villages coming spring 2026

At home in the Sonoran Hills

Saddleback villages are carefully situated among the rolling hills, allowing you to see the nature instead of rooftops, preserving both the scenery and the Sonoran habitat. Saddleback’s offering of new homes are designed to frame desert views, bring nature in and serve as your family’s private oasis. These new homes will be offered at a variety of price points so nearly everyone can enjoy our unique Sonoran Hills lifestyle. It all starts with two villages connected to all things Saddleback.

Home is the new trailhead

Sustainable living in Arizona

Over 600 acres of this exceptional land will be protected in perpetuity. Thousands of saguaro cacti—and whenever possible, their symbiote trees—will be lovingly and painstakingly preserved and replanted. In our first two neighborhoods, Saltbrush and Blue Basin, we’ve saved 3,433 cacti and 1,640 trees. Additionally, of great concern for life in the desert is water. Rest assured there is a respectful and reliable plan for water at Saddleback that involves responsible sourcing and use.
