A unique neighborhood Luna Azul

Catherine Reagor Columnist Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

A new community is going up in north Phoenix, different from any other neighborhood in Arizona — and maybe the U.S. Luna Azul will have 30 cottage-style homes, 24-hour staff and a clubhouse for adults with special needs. Unlike in other similar communities, these homes aren’t rentals. They are for sale, something developer Mark Roth believes makes the community unique. Since residents will own their own homes, they will be able to customize their houses to ÿt their needs, and hire whatever level of help they need, he said. Roth, a Seattle attorney, began working on Luna Azul a few years ago after looking for a home for his teenage daughter Emma. Emma was born with a genetic condition that impacts her physically, cognitively and emotionally. “My wife and I would be up at night terriÿed about where Emma would live as an adult,” said Roth, a Phoenix native. “We didn’t want her to be isolated in a condo on her own and couldn’t ÿnd a group home that we felt would work.” The community, at 16th Street and the Loop 101, will have homes with two or three bedrooms, large porches and smart-home technology. They will be priced from

the mid $300,000s to mid $500,000s. Luna Azul will also be gated and have a full-time director. Roth said he chose the Valley for its quality medical care, particularly for people with special needs, and because ÿnding available land is easier and less expensive than in Seattle and other parts of the country. Metro Phoenix is becoming a hub for innovative housing developments for adults with specials needs, and parents looking for homes for their aging children are leading the charge in building them. “I believe today we are with housing for special populations in metro Phoenix where Del Webb was 50 years ago with Sun City and senior living,” said Denise Resnik, a prominent Valley leader whose son Matt has autism. She has been working with others to create First Place with 55 apartments for adults with autism. It will have a training academy and institute for medical researchers. It opens in central Phoenix this summer. The project has been held up internationally as an innovative development and helped garner Phoenix the title “most autism-friendly city in the world.” “For special populations, there is no one size ÿts all,” said Resnik, who has been worrying about where her son would live as an adult since he was a toddler. “We need pioneers to different types of housing for our diverse population.
