Anthem Homes for Sale & Real Estate Guide
A master-planned community with parks, golf and mountain views north of the city
Anthem Homes for Sale
Anthem is a master-planned community north of Phoenix along I-17, built from the late 1990s with parks, schools, golf and a community center at its heart. It sits in unincorporated Maricopa County with its own community council and a strong neighborhood identity.
Anthem homes for sale fall into two main areas: Anthem Parkside, with family neighborhoods around the community park and schools, and Anthem Country Club, a gated golf community with two courses, clubhouses and larger homes, plus active-adult sections and newer construction on the edges.
Where Is Anthem?
Anthem lies on both sides of I-17 north of the Carefree Highway and the North Gateway area of Phoenix, with Daisy Mountain and the Sonoran Desert as its backdrop. The Outlets at Anthem sit along the freeway, and the community’s retail center, park and schools are along Anthem Way and Gavilan Peak Parkway.
The Loop 303 and the Loop 101 are reached to the south, and Lake Pleasant is a short drive west.
Why Buyers Choose Anthem
Anthem was planned for families: the community park with its train, water park and fields, the community center, trails and pools, and neighborhood schools in the Deer Valley Unified School District, including Boulder Creek High School, are all within the community. The country club adds golf and a resort lifestyle behind gates.
Mountain views, cooler evenings at the community’s elevation and quick freeway access to north Phoenix employment centers round out the appeal.
Anthem Real Estate and Home Styles
Homes are mostly single-family, built from the late 1990s through the 2000s with newer construction in some areas: three- to five-bedroom floor plans, two- and three-car garages and desert landscaping in HOA neighborhoods. Country Club homes are larger, many on golf or view lots, and the community includes active-adult and townhome sections.
Golf and view frontage, gated location and updates carry premiums, and HOA dues and club arrangements differ between Parkside and the Country Club.
Living in Anthem
Daily life centers on the community park, schools, pools and trails, with the outlets and the retail center for shopping and Lake Pleasant for weekends. Commutes run on I-17 to north Phoenix and the Loop 101 corridor; central Phoenix is a longer drive.
Anthem’s community events, sports leagues and clubs give it a small-town feel within a large master plan.
