The High Sonoran Desert is a place where the past lives in harmony with the present and leaves room for the future. It’s a place of unmatched beauty; full of history, art, and adventure. The night skies are still dark and much of the surrounding desert remains untouched by progress.

With Anthem at the center, the area includes the communities of New River, Desert Hills, Black Canyon City, Sonoran Foothills, Tramonto, Norterra and the communities bordering the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve -- each with a unique blend of small-town charm, hometown businesses, and a sense of belonging. Inside these communities, you will find neighbors gathering on pet-friendly patios, around backyard barbecues, and at events. You will hear the sounds of laughter mix with live music and take in delicious scents drifting from nearby restaurants. Crowds cheer on youth sports, and kids ride their bikes to school.
