Home Sales Models open in master-planned 1,200 single-family development near Sonoran Preserve
Model homes are opening and home sales are beginning this month in Taylor Morrison’s single-family master-planned community nestled among the backdrop of the Sonoran Preserve.
The Verdin community is offering five different series of homes with floorplans ranging between 1,900–4,500 square feet, and lots ranging in size up to a third of an acre in gated and non-gated neighborhoods governed by its own homeowner’s association.
Verdin is a 1,200-home development on a 488-acre parcel along Sonoran Desert Drive between the Sonoran Foothills Community and Cave Creek Road. Large saguaros and desert vegetation line the main thoroughfare “Verdin Way” which leads to the future community center and home collections, where the respective model homes are located for each home series. In the early planning stages, Taylor Morrison developed a partnership with the National Wildlife Federation focusing on preservation and protection of native habitats within the community, including significant open spaces and thoughtfully planned native landscape yard plans.
“We’ve tried hard to create a development framework for a natural organic feel with natural edges and open access to the preserve,” attorney for the builder, Susan Demmitt, of Gammage & Burnham, said in a previous Valley Vibe article.
