Saddleback News

North Peoria is heating up. Two of the nation’s largest homebuilders just snapped up land for a new mega community that’s shaping up to change the West Valley forever. Saddleback, a 5,300-acre master-planned development, is officially underway with some big names leading the charge.

Land Deals Kick Off Massive Plans

The deals are done. Lennar Corp. and Taylor Morrison Home Corp. are officially the first players staking claims inside Saddleback, developed by Castle Hill Partners out of Austin. Together, the two builders shelled out a combined $54 million for nearly 600 lots.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Lennar’s landbanker AGWIP Asset Management dropped $27.81 million for 289 lots.

• Taylor Morrison paid $26.05 million for 293 lots.

• Camelot Homes is also jumping in, locking up 19 premium 80-foot-wide lots.

Camelot Homes is setting up an exclusive enclave up the mountain, complete with sweeping views. This marks their debut in the northwest Valley, a move that signals confidence in the area’s booming growth.

The first section, Saltbrush Village, is where Lennar and Taylor Morrison will plant roots. Camelot’s chunk sits further north, behind gates and perched higher for those mountain vistas.

More Massive Projects Rising Near TSMC

Saddleback’s not alone. Two other huge master-planned communities are rising nearby, thanks to TSMC’s $165 billion investment.

NorthPark, led by PulteGroup, covers 6,355 acres with plans for 19,247 homes, parks, shops, and a business hub built out in phases.

Halo Vista stretches 2,300 acres with 28 million square feet of mixed-use space, aiming to add 70,000 jobs and nearly 9,000 rentals.

Both projects are fueling explosive growth, turning this corner of Greater Phoenix into a major housing and tech hotspot.

Mountains, Tech, & Jobs Fuel The Future

The Saddleback project isn’t just about homes. Its location near State Route 74 and Quintero Lane places it perfectly for the ripple effects of Greater Phoenix’s biggest economic driver, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s $165 billion chip plants.

Consider what’s coming:

• Thousands of new jobs

• Massive tech investment nearby

• Booming demand for new housing

• Minutes from north Phoenix’s economic engine

• Premium mountain views

• Endless hiking trails right outside

Saddleback’s surroundings make it a natural draw. Tucked into the mountains, the community feels miles from the chaos but still sits close to job hubs, shopping, and recreation.

The location? It’s primed. The vibe? All about outdoor living.

Saddleback’s Outlook Looks Strong

Saddleback is shaping up as a high-demand destination in the northwest Valley.

Surrounded by mountains, next to Arizona’s tech explosion, and anchored by top national builders, the community is off to a strong start.

Expect to see more headlines, and more deals, as Saddleback takes shape over the next few years. This one’s going to be popular.
