aster-planned communities offer some of the best opportunities for living, playing (and maybe even working) in the same neighborhood. Most of these communities in Greater Phoenix are flourishing because of their location, the variety of options available in brand-new homes, the interconnectedness of beautifully maintained neighborhoods and, of course, the amenities provided.
Sky Crossing is a joint venture between Pulte Homes and Taylor Morrison. Northeast Phoenix
Surprise Asante is a 2,000-acre master-planned community adjacent to the junction of Loop 303 and Grand Avenue in Surprise, one of the fastest-growing areas of the Valley. Developed by Lennar, Asante features a 55-acre regional park surrounded by pedestrian underpasses and walkways that connect various amenities. Asante offers a variety of housing products, including luxury single-story homes, Lennar’s NextGen concept (intended for multiple generations of adults that want to share a living space) and homes with RV garages.
Developed by Lennar, Asante offers a variety of housing products and styles.
Located in the Desert Ridge area of Northeast Phoenix, Sky Crossing is a joint venture between Pulte Homes and Taylor Morrison. The community will feature about 1,200 homes at build-out and caters to first-time buyers, move-up buyers and empty-nesters, said Deanna Cameron, Taylor Morrison’s Phoenix marketing manager. A prominent amenity is the Sky Crossing Community Center, host to lounge areas, a catering kitchen, fitness center, game terrace, fire-pit and sitting area “that allows residents to make the most of Arizona’s stunning sunsets and evenings,” Cameron said. The community also sports a resort pool with shade structures, a splash-pad and a playground. The subdivisions in Sky Crossing include Taylor Morrison’s Discovery and Passage Collections and its Venture II and Summit Collections in the gated Astarea neighborhood. Pulte Homes offers five collections of homes in Astarea, said Trey Bitteker, vice president of sales for Pulte Homes. (MASTER-PLANNED COMMUNITIES, continued on page NH5)
