DESERT RIDGE HOMES

Overview

The 5,700-acre master-planned community of Desert Ridge® combines the best of desert living and the Phoenix lifestyle. It is one of the fastest-growing and most desirable communities in the country.

Desert Ridge homes range from entry-level single-family and move-up homes to golf course and custom homes. The Sonoran Desert environment is maintained throughout the community by the preservation of the mountain view and the landscaped wash corridors that traverse the community.

To avoid the sense of physical isolation often found in western U.S. cities, Desert Ridge® has created residential Superblocks that are structured to promote a strong sense of neighborhood identification and orientation. At the heart of most Superblocks is an elementary school, a neighborhood park and a small neighborhood convenience shopping area.

The JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, with 950 rooms, is the largest resort and convention hotel in Arizona. Its amenities include 36 holes of championship golf, a 165,000 square-foot meeting facility, 8 tennis courts, a 28,000 square-foot spa, 10 food-and-beverage outlets and 252 time-share units.

Also located within Desert Ridge is the Desert Ridge Marketplace, a 1.2 million-square-foot retail, dining and entertainment center. Desert Ridge Marketplace opened in 2001, its tenants include: a 4,000-seat AMC Theatre, Target, Kohl's, Barnes & Noble, PetsMart, Old Navy and more than 28 dining establishments.
