A Different Kind of
New Construction
Regent Hills — one of the most searched new construction communities in the West Valley — is not a typical Buckeye subdivision. It is the newest and most elevated neighborhood within Verrado — a 20-year, 8,800-acre master plan by DMB Associates that has redefined what a master-planned community can be in the American West.
Situated in Verrado's western foothills at the base of the White Tank Mountains, Regent Hills offers private, gated homesites with elevation, views, and a resort amenity layer that is exclusive to this neighborhood alone — layered on top of Verrado's already comprehensive community infrastructure.
Two nationally acclaimed builders — David Weekley Homes and Pulte Homes — are currently active across five distinct collections, offering genuine choice across lot sizes, floor plans, and price points from the $500s to the $1Ms. All homes are single-story, open-concept, and built to Verrado's craftsman-inspired architectural guidelines.
Regent Hills connects seamlessly to Verrado's walkable Main Street district, the 18-hole Founder's Course at Verrado Golf Club, 86+ parks, and 26 miles of mountain trails — a lifestyle that is genuinely rare at this price point anywhere in metro Phoenix.

Where Regent Hills Fits in Verrado
Verrado is composed of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character and price point. Regent Hills sits at the top of the lifestyle and pricing spectrum — the newest, most elevated, and most private district in the community. Explore all Verrado neighborhoods →
Key distinction: Regent Hills and Highlands carry the highest price ceiling in Verrado. Regent Hills offers the newest inventory, the most recently developed amenities, and the largest new-construction lots currently available in any gated Verrado section.
Two Layers of Resort Living
Regent Hills residents enjoy a private amenity package exclusive to this neighborhood, layered on top of Verrado's full community infrastructure — a combination genuinely rare at this price point anywhere in metro Phoenix.

You're entitled to bring your own specialist. The builder's on-site team works exclusively for the builder. Bringing an independent specialist costs you nothing extra — the builder pays — and gives you someone reviewing contract terms, comparing all five collections side-by-side, and negotiating incentives before you sign. Call 480-269-5858 before visiting any model home.

Base prices per publicly available 2025 data. Lot premiums, structural options, and design studio upgrades typically add $50,000–$150,000+ to base. Verify current pricing directly.
Fully Upgraded / Spec Homes
Completed homes with premium design studio selections typically range $650,000–$900,000+ depending on collection and lot. Top-end Alta configurations on premium lots may reach $1M+.
Total Cost of Ownership
Beyond purchase price: Verrado master HOA (~$189/mo) + Regent Hills sub-association + Verrado CFD assessment on your annual Maricopa County property tax bill. Request a full tax estimate for any specific parcel before committing.
Resale context: Resale homes in the Regent Hills / Highlands corridor have been trading at $700K–$1M+ for well-appointed properties. Verrado has seen consistent year-over-year appreciation driven by West Valley infrastructure growth and strong out-of-state buyer demand. Verrado at full buildout will encompass 14,080 homes and 4 million square feet of commercial space — the community is still in the early-to-mid phases of its master plan.
Three On-Site Schools
Within the Master Plan
All three Verrado campuses are located within the community — children walk or bike to school. The schools have become genuine community hubs, consistently cited by families as a primary reason they chose Verrado.
Ranked #147 in Arizona Elementary Schools · U.S. News
Verrado Community Amenities
Important — school district note: Verrado spans three districts: Litchfield Elementary, Agua Fria Union High School, and Saddle Mountain Unified. A tri-district agreement allows Verrado children to attend on-site schools, but if campuses reach capacity, your specific street address determines enrollment. Always verify school assignment for any specific lot before writing an offer.
Small Town Design.
Resort-Level Living.
Verrado was built around the New Urbanism concept — front-porch architecture, tree-lined streets, and a walkable Main Street at the center of everything. Regent Hills sits at the top of that vision.
The Verrado Difference
Homes radiate outward from Main Street, making shops, restaurants, and parks accessible without a car. Residents jump on golf carts to grab coffee on Main Street. Children bike to school. Neighbors recognize each other at the farmers market. It is a lifestyle California, Colorado, and Midwest relocators consistently describe as refreshing — and genuinely hard to find at this price point anywhere in metro Phoenix.
Trail Access at Your Door
Regent Hills sits closer to the White Tank Mountain foothills than any other Verrado neighborhood — trailheads to 26+ miles of hiking and biking trails are minutes from your front door. The Verrado Pickleball Club, Heritage Swim Park, and the Founder's Course round out an extraordinarily active outdoor lifestyle available year-round.
Year-Round Community Events
Verrado's event calendar — concerts on Main Street, seasonal festivals, farmers markets, holiday events, and neighborhood activities — keeps the community genuinely connected. This is one of the primary reasons buyers who move to Verrado rarely leave. Read our complete Verrado living guide →

Verrado Marketplace
& What's Ahead
The infrastructure buildout surrounding Verrado is one of the most compelling value stories in the Phoenix metro. Here is what is open, what is opening, and why it matters for Regent Hills buyers.
Verrado Marketplace — Opening Spring 2026
Verrado Marketplace — Opening Spring 2026

California, Washington, Colorado, and Midwest buyers consistently say Verrado's distance from Phoenix feels trivial compared to their former commutes. A 35-minute freeway drive with mountain views — to a brand-new home on a large lot at a price that doesn't exist in their home market — resets what "far" means entirely.
Drive Before You Decide
If commute matters, drive your exact route at your exact departure time — not at 10am on a Saturday. I-10 westbound morning traffic is typically lighter than eastbound. Daily commuters to central Phoenix should weigh this carefully. Remote, hybrid, and west-commuting buyers consistently report the trade-off is overwhelmingly favorable.
Strengths & Considerations
A complete picture of what Regent Hills offers — and what every informed buyer should factor into their decision.
Strengths

Considerations

- !School enrollment not guaranteed for all lots — tri-district capacity rules apply
- !Verrado Marketplace not yet open — full retail buildout still ~12 months ahead
- !Arizona July/August heat limits outdoor amenity use to early morning or evening
- !Enchantment Series and Alta collection still coming — limited immediate availability
- !Build-to-order buyers may face 6–12 month construction timelines
New Construction
Buyer's Guide
New construction comes with its own process, timelines, and decisions. Here is what informed buyers understand before visiting a model home in Regent Hills.
Bring Your Own Specialist — At No Cost
The builder's on-site team represents the builder's interests. Bringing an independent specialist — paid for by the builder, at no cost to you — means someone reviews contract terms, compares all five collections side-by-side, identifies lot-specific considerations, and negotiates incentives before you sign.
Phase Timing Is Critical
Early-phase buyers typically get better base pricing and more lot selection. Late-phase buyers benefit from a more established community and more spec inventory for faster closings. Understanding which phase each collection is in — and what's coming — is critical intelligence.
Builder Incentives — Read the Fine Print
Both builders offer rate buydowns, design studio credits, and closing cost assistance when you use their preferred lender — often $30,000–$50,000+ in value. Get an independent mortgage quote first to confirm the rate is competitive before accepting.
Lot Selection Is a Long-Term Decision
Elevation matters in Regent Hills. A view lot with White Tank Mountain or Founder's Course frontage commands a meaningful premium at resale — potentially $50,000–$100,000+. Pie-shaped, corner, and cul-de-sac lots carry different privacy profiles. Don't treat all lots in a phase as equivalent.
Know Your True Monthly Cost
Verrado master HOA (~$189/mo) + Regent Hills sub-association + Maricopa County property tax + CFD assessment = your true carrying cost. Know all four figures before comparing affordability to non-HOA communities.
Verify School Assignment for Your Lot
Verrado's tri-district structure means school assignment varies by street address. If a specific campus matters, confirm that specific lot's assignment before going under contract — not after.
