The master-planned community of Desert Ridge combines the best of desert living and the Phoenix lifestyle. At 5,700 acres, Desert Ridge is the largest new master-planned community in metropolitan Phoenix. Zoned for approximately 15,000 homes and major commercial and retail developments, the community is meticulously planned and executed, offering a wide range of residential, commercial, recreational and employment opportunities. The master plan ensures lasting community integrity and long-term value for Desert Ridge property owners.

The highlight of shopping at Desert Ridge is Desert Ridge Marketplace, a $170 million, 1.3-million-square-foot suburban lifestyle entertainment center, a showcase for a new trend-setting class of shopping experiences. Opened in October 2001, Desert Ridge Marketplace has given area residents a chance to relive the downtown main-street shopping experience of yesteryear - a place where you can leisurely stroll through an open-air marketplace and find shopping, restaurants and entertainment just minutes from your Desert Ridge home.

Gone are the noise, stress and runaround of the 1990s shopping malls. At Desert Ridge Marketplace, there's room to breathe and selection galore. This first-of-its-kind shopping experience includes five unique shopping "districts," each with a shopping theme that helps you find exactly what you need. In addition to Desert Ridge Marketplace, convenience shopping, limited to 10,000 square feet of shops, will be located in each residential Superblock, self-contained communities designed to enhance the sense of neighborhood and reduce traffic. We know your time is valuable and believe you shouldn't have to work too hard to shop, take in a movie, eat at your favorite restaurant or pick-up a carton of milk on the way home. Desert Ridge makes it easy.

The first 18-hole championship golf course at Desert Ridge, was designed by Arnold Palmer and part of the Desert Ridge Marriott Resort & Spa. This magnificent desert course is open to the public.

The fully equipped clubhouse includes everything from clubs and clothing to accessories and instruction from a certified professional. Contact the clubhouse at (480) 473-0205, for tee-time reservations.

The second 18-hole course, designed by PGA pro Nick Faldo, is now under construction.

From entry-level single-family and move-up homes to golf course and custom homes. The Sonoran Desert environment is maintained by the preservation of the mountain view and the heavily landscaped wash corridors that traverse the community.

To avoid the sense of physical isolation often found in western U.S. cities, Desert Ridge has created residential Superblocks that are structured to promote a strong sense of neighborhood identification and orientation. At the heart of each Superblock is an elementary school, a neighborhood park and a small neighborhood convenience shopping area.
