Buckeye Valley Future
A GROWING CITY WITH BIG PLANS
Everybody’s talking about Buckeye – and the projection for major growth over the next 20 years. Having a 660-square-mile planning area, Buckeye one day could be home to more than 1,000,000 residents, which is 55 times more than the current population. More than 30 master-planned communities have been approved and developers are pitching more ideas daily. Through selective planning and burgeoning development interest, Buckeye soon will be the largest community in the Valley.
SUNDANCE
Sundance in Buckeye is an active adult golf community that provides many amenities and plenty of small town charm. This age-restricted community is open to those aged 45 and better, and is designed to appeal to active adults. The spacious clubhouse offers a variety of amenities and activities that encourage an active lifestyle, including The Golf Club at Buckeye. This 18-hole course features beautiful views of the Sierra Estrella and White Tank Mountains.
The town of Buckeye is experiencing rapid growth, but has retained its small town atmosphere. When residents wish to venture beyond the town, Phoenix is 20 miles away and neighboring Avondale is only 5 miles to the east.
VERRADO
Take a walk through Verrado’s winding tree-lined streets and you’ll find that front porch parties happen organically and community celebrations just keep bringing people together. With over 21 miles of hiking and biking trails, there are plenty of opportunities for kids and adults of all ages to get out enjoy everything from a casual morning stroll to an ambitious summit hike.
Verrado’s walkable Main Street district means shops and restaurants are only minutes from your door. Five highly performing schools and more than 70 neighborhood parks are yet another part of what makes Verrado so special. However you decide to spend your days, you can rest assured you’ll end each one with an unforgettable White Tank Mountain sunset.

TARTESSO
Although this master-planned development’s name is derived from an ancient Phoenician cultural center, Tartesso aspires to be among the most modern of communities. The sprawling 12,000-acre development has been approved for 40,000 homes.
The first phase, located at Sun Valley Parkway and Tartesso Parkway (Indian School Road), will include sites for 17 elementary schools and three high schools.
Open space will be abundant in Tartesso, with plans for 26 parks in the works. The largest of these parks will feature full-size baseball fields, lighted basketball courts, facilities for smaller children, and picnic areas. A Tartesso golf course has not been planned. Commercial or mixed-use sites in Tartesso potentially could encompass 717 acres, or more than 10 million square feet. Tartesso will be accessible from Interstate 10 by two existing interchanges at Sun Valley Parkway and Miller Road. Three additional interchanges eventually will be installed at Johnson Road, Bruner Road, and Wilson Avenue. Tartesso Elementary School opened in August 2008.
