Pre-sale has begun at the Reserve at Eagle Heights, a new subdivision slated for the southwest corner of 75th Avenue and Deer Valley Road in Peoria.
According to an article last year in the Arizona Republic’s Glendale section, Eagle Heights represents the last of the large undeveloped parcels that make up the area of Glendale and Peoria known as Arrowhead Ranch.
Scottsdale-based Western Pacific Properties is looking to make a splash akin to the area’s higher-end subdivisions such as Top of the Ranch and Tuscany Shores with the 84-home Eagle Heights development.
Unlike Top of the Ranch, the topography at Eagle Heights is flat; the mountain views are a couple of miles in the distance rather than a few feet beyond your back fence. But a planned lake on the development’s western edge, inside the usually dry Skunk Creek bed, will add the lure of waterfront lots a la Tuscany.
All of the 84 homes will be single-story and will have Spanish architecture in its three floor plans. Each floor plan features three separate elevations, giving prospective buyers 12 homes from which to choose. Square footage will range from 2,700 to 3,700 square feet and the lots will be significantly larger than those in nearby Fletcher Heights, hovering close to the 1/4-acre mark.
Base prices for homes in Eagle Heights start in the high $780s and range into the low $800s. And the builder is asking for a $25,000 earnest deposit - if you use the builders’ preferred lender.
The models have not yet been completed, though one was in the drywall phase as of a week ago, so the sales trailer is the first and only stop.
For more information on Eagle Heights, call or e-mail me and I can send you floor plans and the initial price sheet. And if you’re thinking of visiting the Reserve at Eagle Heights or any other new build in the West Valley, I highly encourage you to contact a real estate professional to accompany you on your initial visit … even if it’s not me.
New build contracts generally are weighted heavily in the builders’ favor and it is to your benefit to have someone working in your best interest by your side not only when you’re writing your contract but when you’re visiting the design center.
Unless you bring your agent with you on your first visit, you will not have independent representation on your home purchase. And there is NO out-of-pocket cost to you for using a buyers’ agent at a new build community.
