New NW Valley Homes

Lennar Homes Expands into the Northwest Valley with Three New Communities Featuring Lennar's Signature Next Gen and Premier Home Models

Prospective new home buyers are increasingly drawn to the Northwest Valley because of its natural beauty, proximity to Lake Pleasant Regional Park, convenient access to the freeway system, and, most recently, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) plant located near Interstate 17 and Loop 303.

“The TSMC plant is expected to create 4,500 jobs and will likely lead to expansions by semiconductor suppliers that will bring thousands more jobs to the area,” explains Alan Jones, Division President of Lennar. “Our new communities are uniquely designed to meet the growing desire to locate in the Northwest Valley by providing superior home design, including our signature Next Gen and Premier home models, creating affordable options in today’s changing market.”

The three new communities—Middle Vistas, Aloravita, and Windstone Ranch—offer more than 700 homesites, providing prospective new homebuyers with a wide range of home styles and amenities.

“We’ve worked very hard to be ready to offer new home buyers interested in this area with a wide range of options in both cost and design,” says Jones.

What is a Next Gen Home?

When Lennar introduced Next Gen homes as The Home Within a Home in 2011, it was a concept ahead of its time. Every Next Gen home offers a private suite that provides the essential space multigenerational families need to work, learn, create, or have a sense of independence. 

Every Next Gen offers a private suite for the older or younger generation that lives with you. The suite can be used for wellness, work, or learning. It has a separate entrance, kitchenette, living area, bedroom or multi-use room, and bathroom.

Middle Vistas Community

Middle Vista models are now open for tours. It is one of the closest communities to the TSMC plant, located off I-17 and Dixileta.

Middle Vistas has experienced high interest from TSMC employees, including several who have already purchased homes in the new development.

Featuring three of Lennar’s most popular models—the Discovery, Horizon, and Premier—Middle Vistas prices range from the mid $400,000s to the mid $700,000s. Additionally, the development debuts Lennar’s newest Next Gen floor plan called the Latitude. 

Compared to other Next Gen options, the Latitude is a smaller version of the Next Gen home, providing an option for home buyers needing less space.  

Lennar introduced the Premier Collection last year. A unique collaboration between Lennar and its many partners creates a more affordable option for first-time home buyers, allowing them to purchase a home rather than rent. Since its debut, sales of Premier homes have skyrocketed, accounting for about 20 percent of all Lennar sales.

Middle Vistas is a gated community with 228 homesites, two playgrounds with picnic areas, and homes ranging from 1,232 to 2,649 square feet.

Aloravita Community

Located in Peoria off Happy Valley Road and 83rd Avenue, the 295 homesites at Aloravita are near popular West Wing Mountain hiking trails and just 15 miles from Lake Pleasant Regional Park.

Aloravita models will open soon and offer two collections of new homes: the Signature and Destiny. The Signature collection offers four floor plans, two of which are Next Gen options. Certain floor plans for the Destiny collection include a garage accommodating a recreational vehicle (RV).

“RV garage models have been very popular here, considering the location is so close to Lake Pleasant,” says Jones.

Aloravita homes range from 2,163 to 2,649 square feet and are priced between the upper $500,000s and the mid $800,000s. The community includes amenities such as ramadas, a green belt, and hiking trails.

Windstone Ranch Community

Windstone Ranch is east of 163rd Avenue and north of Happy Valley Road in Surprise. Sales of the 200 homesites have begun, with models available to view and tour.  

This new community offers Lennar’s Premier and Signature home collections. Homes start in the high $300,000s and range from 1,232 to 2,649 square feet. They are designed for first-time homebuyers or families considering multigenerational living options.

Windstone’s proximity to the Loop 303 corridor and short travel distance from the explosive growth of the TSMC plant locale contribute to the area's status as one of the fastest-growing locations and communities in the state. Amenities include a community pool, basketball court, fire pit, and playground.

Lennar began in 1954 when Gene Fisher and Arnold Rose formed F&R Builders in Miami. Leonard Miller became a co-owner two years later and partnered with Arnold Rose. Nearly 20 years later, in 1971, they combined their names to create Lennar Corporation.
