Luxury in the West Valley doesn't look like one thing — it ranges from established, tree-lined estate lots to new-build custom homes in gated golf enclaves. Here are five communities that consistently come up for buyers shopping the upper end of the West Valley market.
1. Sterling Grove
A gated, golf-centered community in Surprise built around a private golf and country club, Sterling Grove draws buyers looking for a resort-style, amenity-rich setting with a strong sense of exclusivity.
2. Litchfield Park Estates
Litchfield Park's older, established neighborhoods — many surrounding or near the historic Wigwam Resort — offer mature landscaping, larger lots, and custom and semi-custom homes that are hard to find in newer communities. It's the West Valley's answer to old-money charm.
3. Verrado's Highlands and Regent Hills
Within Verrado, the Highlands and Regent Hills districts lean toward larger custom and semi-custom homes with mountain and golf course views, while still offering access to Verrado's Main Street and trail system.
4. Palm Valley
Palm Valley, in Goodyear, is built around the Palm Valley Golf Club and offers a mix of upscale single-family homes with mature landscaping — an established, quieter alternative to newer luxury developments.
5. Estrella Mountain Ranch
Estrella, in Goodyear, combines lakefront and mountain-view lots with golf course access, appealing to buyers who want a resort feel with more dramatic natural scenery than most West Valley communities offer.
