Saddleback: North Peoria's Newest Master Plan

At the northern end of Vistancia Boulevard, Saddleback is the next master plan up the road from Vistancia - 5,300 acres of Sonoran Desert foothills, six miles from Lake Pleasant. Developer Castle Hill Partners broke ground in November 2024, and the first village is selling now. Saddleback is not part of Vistancia, but buyers here tour both.

The vision

About 6,500 homesites are planned across multiple villages, with more than 2,500 acres of open space, 60-plus miles of trails and over 60 acres of parks. More than 3,400 saguaros are being preserved in place, and a future State Route 74 connection is planned along the northern edge.

The villages and builders

Saltbrush is the first village, selling now with model homes open from Taylor Morrison and Lennar - Lennar's current homes start from about $511,000. Blue Basin, a gated village with David Weekley Homes and Toll Brothers, is planned for 2027, and Camelot Homes is also on the builder roster.

The location

Saddleback sits in ZIP code 85383 at the top of Vistancia Boulevard, six miles from Lake Pleasant Regional Park and a short drive from the Loop 303 jobs corridor, including TSMC and the Peoria Innovation Core.
