Cadora Desert Hills: A New Luxury Community Coming to North Phoenix

Exciting news is on the horizon for North Phoenix and Desert Hills! Toll Brothers, one of the nation’s premier luxury homebuilders, has set its sights on developing a brand-new upscale community—Cadora Desert Hills. If you're keeping an eye on future opportunities in Maricopa County real estate, this is a development you'll want to know about.

What is Cadora Desert Hills?

Cadora Desert Hills is a proposed residential subdivision currently in the planning stages with Maricopa County. Nestled near the scenic intersection of 7th Avenue and Desert Hills Drive, this 74-acre community promises spacious living, luxury design, and the tranquility Desert Hills is known for.

Here’s what we know so far:

  • Developer: Toll Brothers

  • Location: Northwest corner of 7th Avenue & Desert Hills Drive, Desert Hills, AZ

  • Size: 74 acres

  • Homes Planned: 56 luxury single-family homes

  • Lot Size: Minimum 35,000 sq. ft. per lot

  • Bonus: Optional casitas for added flexibility

  • Access: Two gated entrances—one from Desert Hills Drive and one from 7th Avenue

If you're someone who values privacy, space, and high-end finishes, Cadora Desert Hills is shaping up to be a community that checks all those boxes.

What Makes This Development Unique?

Unlike many new subdivisions that prioritize density, Cadora Desert Hills will maintain the area’s rural charm with large estate-sized lots—perfect for those who want room to breathe, add a workshop, store recreational toys, or simply enjoy wide open spaces.

Originally, past plans for this land included an equestrian center, but Toll Brothers has opted for a more streamlined residential focus, removing that amenity to cater to today’s luxury homeowner preferences.

Additionally, the community will feature gated entries, offering both privacy and security—two things that are always in demand in Desert Hills real estate.

Infrastructure & Community Details

Water services will be provided by EPCOR, and families will fall within the highly regarded Deer Valley Unified School District. For commuters or those needing quick access to city amenities, Desert Hills offers a peaceful escape while still being conveniently close to North Phoenix services.

One notable aspect of the planning process is a request to adjust the right-of-way dedication along Desert Hills Drive—from 65 feet down to 40 feet. This aligns with Maricopa County’s long-term transportation vision and ensures that the rural character of the area isn’t lost to overbuilt roadways.

A traffic impact study is also underway to ensure smooth access in and out of the community without disrupting the existing flow of Desert Hills living.

Where Does the Project Stand Now?

As of spring 2025, Cadora Desert Hills is still moving through the Maricopa County Planning & Zoning process. No public hearings have been scheduled just yet, but once dates are set, notices will be posted on-site for community input.

For buyers, investors, or anyone dreaming of a future home in Desert Hills, this project represents a rare opportunity—luxury homes on oversized lots, built by a trusted name in home construction.

Why Should You Care About Cadora Desert Hills?

Whether you're a buyer looking for a custom-feel new build, a current Desert Hills homeowner curious about how this might impact property values, or an investor watching North Phoenix growth—Cadora Desert Hills is worth keeping on your radar.

Toll Brothers developments tend to attract discerning buyers, which could elevate the overall market perception of the Desert Hills area. With only 56 homes planned, exclusivity will be part of the appeal.
