Anthem Homes for Sale in Arizona

A True Master-Planned Community in the North Valley

Anthem is one of Arizona’s most established master-planned communities, located along I-17 approximately 30 miles north of Downtown Phoenix. Set against Daisy Mountain and the surrounding Sonoran Desert, Anthem offers an unusually broad selection of homes, neighborhoods and amenities.

The community includes everything from lower-maintenance condominiums and traditional single-family homes to gated golf properties and expansive luxury residences. Home sizes, lots, views and prices vary significantly depending on the neighborhood, giving buyers multiple ways to experience Anthem within one larger community.

Anthem is not an age-restricted community. Its homes and amenities accommodate many different stages of life, with schools, recreation, golf, fitness, community events and everyday shopping all located close to home.

Understanding Anthem’s Different Neighborhoods

Anthem is organized around three primary residential associations: Anthem Parkside, Anthem Golf & Country Club and The Village at Anthem. Each offers a different style of living and its own HOA structure.

Anthem Parkside

Parkside is Anthem’s largest residential area, encompassing more than 7,200 homes across numerous neighborhoods. It offers the community’s widest range of traditional single-family homes, including smaller one-story properties, larger two-story floor plans, homes with private pools and residences with mountain or open-space views.

Several distinct pockets are located within Parkside:

• Paseo offers additional landscape maintenance for homeowners.
  
• The Landing is a small gated neighborhood within Parkside.
  
• Arroyo Grande allows certain properties to accommodate RV storage behind a gate and permits detached garages.
  
• Circle Mountain is one of Parkside’s newer residential areas.

Because Parkside is so large, floor plans, lot sizes, settings and prices vary considerably from one section to another.

The Village at Anthem

The Village is a gated condominium community with 210 residences. In addition to Anthem’s community-wide amenities, Village residents have access to a private pool, spa, grilling area and fitness center.

The Village provides a lower-maintenance ownership option for buyers who want access to Anthem’s broader lifestyle without the exterior responsibilities of a traditional detached home.

Anthem Golf & Country Club

Anthem Golf & Country Club is a gated residential community built around two private 18-hole championship golf courses: Persimmon and Ironwood.

Homes range from smaller, lower-maintenance properties to larger luxury residences overlooking golf fairways, desert open space and surrounding mountains. Because the Country Club includes numerous residential pockets and floor plans, buyers will find meaningful differences in home size, lot, view and price.

A social membership is required for Country Club homeowners. Golf and other membership categories are handled separately and may provide different levels of access. Membership offerings, dues and privileges can change, so buyers should verify current requirements directly with Anthem Golf & Country Club before purchasing.

Golf and Country Club Amenities

Anthem Golf & Country Club is known locally for offering two of many of its signature amenities:

• Two championship golf courses
  
• Two golf practice facilities
  
• Two clubhouses
  
• Two fitness and wellness facilities
  
• Two heated pools with spas
  
• Member dining and social spaces
  

Additional amenities include tennis, pickleball, bocce, fitness classes, personal training and a year-round calendar of golf, dining and social events.

The Persimmon Course opened in 1999 and offers a more traditional layout with notable elevation changes and an 18,000-square-foot double green connecting the finishing holes of each nine.

The Ironwood Course opened in 2004 and presents a different challenge with water features, strategic bunkering and mountain views. Its 10th through 12th holes are commonly known as “Anthem Alley.”

The two courses allow golf members to enjoy distinct playing experiences within the same private club community.

Anthem Community Amenities

Anthem’s community-wide amenities are one of the main reasons it feels like a complete town rather than a single subdivision.

The 63-acre Anthem Community Park includes:

• Adventure and Discovery playgrounds
  
• Splash pad
  
• Catch-and-release fishing lakes
  
• Sports fields
  
• Basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts
  
• Walking trails
  
• Skate park
  
• Amphitheater
  
• Ramadas and picnic areas
  
• Anthem Veterans Memorial
  
• Daisy Mountain Railroad
  

The Anthem Community Center provides aquatics, fitness facilities, programs, classes, sports and activities for residents with active membership. Anthem also has a Civic

Building, neighborhood parks, a dedicated dog park, Liberty Bell Park and Opportunity Way Park.

Access requirements, operating hours and reservation policies may vary by facility and should be confirmed through the Anthem Community Council.

Schools in Anthem

Anthem is served by the Deer Valley Unified School District. Schools within and near the community include Anthem School, Gavilan Peak School and Boulder Creek High School.

The community’s schools, parks, recreation facilities and residential neighborhoods are connected by an extensive system of roads, sidewalks and paths.

School boundaries, grade configurations and enrollment policies can change. Buyers should verify the schools assigned to a specific Anthem address directly with Deer Valley Unified School District.

Everyday Shopping and Dining

Anthem is designed as a self-contained community with grocery stores, Walmart, restaurants, medical offices, personal services and everyday shopping located near its residential neighborhoods.

The Outlets North Phoenix are also located near I-17, providing additional retail and dining options. Residents can reach larger shopping and entertainment areas in North Phoenix by traveling south on I-17.

This convenience is one of Anthem’s defining advantages. Many daily errands, activities and appointments can be handled without leaving the community.

Connected to North Phoenix Growth

Anthem’s location along I-17 provides direct access to North Phoenix, Loop 303, the TSMC employment corridor and destinations farther north, including Prescott, Sedona and Flagstaff.

The expanding North Phoenix corridor has brought more restaurants, shopping, services and employment opportunities within a convenient drive of Anthem. Halo Vista, planned near the TSMC campus, is expected to add additional retail, employment, hospitality and residential development, including a future Costco.

Development plans and timelines can change, but Anthem residents are well positioned to benefit from the expanding range of amenities along the I-17 corridor.

Anthem Real Estate

Anthem is not a single, uniform housing market. Home values vary considerably based on the residential association, neighborhood, property type, floor plan, condition, lot, view and access to private amenities.

A condominium in The Village, a Parkside single-family home and a golf-course property in Anthem Country Club each compete within different segments of the market.

Understanding those distinctions is essential when buying, pricing or preparing an Anthem home for sale.
