The Sonoran story begins here. Desert life. It’s more varied and mysterious and dynamic than any other habitat. In one glance the desert is tough, marked by thorns and cacti and heat. In another glance, gentle and subdued, softened by a sunset or a ground cover of wildflowers.

20,000 acres in the Sonoran Desert Valley of Goodyear surrounded by the Sierra Estrella Mountains, White Tank Mountains, and the Estrella Mountain Regional Park

And only when you truly live in the desert, track its trails and stare at its night sky, do you come to understand these nuances. Only when you live in the desert, amid the creosote and coyotes do you learn that underneath its rugged exterior, there’s a fragile ecosystem.

• First community, Mountain Ranch, established in 1989 with new neighborhoods now open
• Next community, Montecito, premiering this summer
• Third community, Province, debuting Fall 2007

And only when you live in the desert do you realize you couldn’t live anywhere else because desert sunsets are, well, only in the desert. So welcome to desert life in Estrella. Make yourself at home, there’s plenty of room.

To visit Estrella, take I-10 west to Estrella Parkway exit 126, travel south and follow the signs to the Information Center.
