Looking for upscale living in Peoria, AZ? Here’s your guide to the top luxury home communities in Peoria, AZ — each offering unique characteristics, style, and lifestyle benefits for homeowners.
1. Blackstone at Vistancia
Blackstone is looked at by locals as The Beverly Hills of Peoria, and it is truly the crown jewel of the Northwest Valley. Upon arrival, you will be greeted at the main entrance by an array of tall and well manicured resort style palms waving in the wind along with a full guard-gate tower, luscious landscape, and an impressive double gate for additional security and peace of mind. The lifestyle, amenities and overall feel of the community are comparable to many high-end luxury home communities you would find in North Scottsdale or Paradise Valley, but at a fraction of the price you would pay in those zip codes.
Some of the main benefits of owning a home in Blackstone include:
- Exclusivity & Security: A gated enclave of a little over 600 homes nestled up against the Sonoran Desert mountains, with 12‑hour manned security at the front gate.
- Easy Access to Blackstone Private Country Club: An award‑winning private club boasting a Jim Engh‑designed 18‑hole championship course, 30,000 sq ft hacienda‑style clubhouse with multiple pools, spa, fitness studio, tennis/pickleball courts, bocce, fine dining, and wine room. Social and Golf Memberships must be purchased separately for access to Blackstone Country Club – being a homeowner alone does not give you access to the clubhouse or golf course.
- Home Value: Fully custom estates range from $2,000,000-$3,000,000, many offering panoramic mountain and golf course views on 1/2 acre-3/4 acre lots. Bare homesites are available as well, with many trading in the $450,000-high $500,000 range. There are also semi-custom homes from Toll Brothers that range from around $1,200,000 to $2,000,000. There are less expensive resale options in the high $800,000 to $1,500,000 range from David Weekley, TW Lewis, Taylor Morrison, Camelot and Khovnanian. There is also a small section of townhomes in Blackstone that start in the lower $500,000’s that offer a lock-and-leave lifestyle.
One thing to keep in mind is Blackstone does operate under an HOA, which does not allow for RV garages or RV/oversized vehicle parking anywhere in the community. So if you are looking for a place to store your large toys, you will need to either look elsewhere or find a separate storage facility to store your oversized items. The positive of this is the community maintains a very consistent, polished and luxurious look.
Blackstone epitomizes luxury desert living—secure, scenic, and private. It’s one of the only communities in Peoria that is guard-gated and has a private golf course and country club. If you are looking to own in a top rated golf course community, Blackstone should be at the top of your list of considerations.
2. Melton Ranch
This gated luxury enclave in North Peoria is known for generously sized lots, upscale modern-hacienda homes, and commanding desert vistas. This is also a great community if you are looking for a location that is close to everything – it’s only a few minute drive to the Four Corners shopping center in North Peoria and only a short drive to Arrowhead Mall and P83 shopping center. It’s also minutes from the highly acclaimed Basis High School.
Melton Ranch is also an excellent community to consider if you are looking for space to store your toys in an RV Garage. Many of the homes here have separate oversized RV garages detached from the home.
Recent homes have sold between $2,900,000-$3,500,000 in Melton Ranch.
3. Casa De Sunrise
Big lots, huge homes, lavish living! This community will remind you of many luxury homes you would normally see in Paradise Valley! This is a luxury subdivision nestled near the Sunrise Mountain foothills. Expect large custom homes with designer finishes, resort-style pools, and sweeping views—perfect for those seeking elegance on the eastern part of North Peoria.
Casa De Sunrise is home to the two most expensive homes ever sold in Peoria! Both properties sold for an excess of $5 million. The top sale was at 8035 W Expedition Way, which closed for $5,275,000 in May of 2024!
4. Alvamar Westwing Mountain
Tucked up directly against the scenic Westwing Mountain Preserve, this exclusive and gated community features refined custom estates that are sure to impress even the most picky buyers. Homeowners enjoy elevated lot designs, private terrain, and direct access to scenic hiking trails in a serene, elevated mountain setting. Its location is also very close to Paloma Park, the Lake Pleasant exit to the 303 Freeway, Basis High School, and the 4 Corners shopping center in North Peoria, making it a very central and convenient place to live.
Recent homes sales in Alvamar range between $3,100,000 – $3,500,000, but there are options available in the $2,000,000 plus range occasionally.
5. Summit at Sunrise Mountain
Perched on the slopes of Sunrise Mountain sits this gated community of only 16 homes offering mountain views alongside high-end homes with gourmet kitchens, spa bathrooms, and outdoor living areas designed for entertaining and relaxation.
Located near the intersection of 83rd Ave and Happy Valley, it’s an ideal central North Peoria location that is close to new shopping, restaurants, gyms, and schools.
Recent home sales range from $1,750,000-$3,059,000.
6. La Caille
A boutique, gated enclave directly adjacent to Summit at Sunrise Mountain, featuring a total of only 12 properties. Homes often include wine cellars, outdoor kitchens, RV garages and private cul-de-sac settings—combining timeless design with modern luxury.
Three of the twelve homes in this community sit on three acre plus parcels, an extremely rare find in this area of North Peoria! The remaining homes are on lots around 30,000-40,000sf lots – which is still impressive. Only having 12 total homes in the community provides a level of peacefulness and a sense of security that few other communities can match.
Because it only consists of twelve properties, homes do not come up for sale often in La Caille. It’s safe to say any property that comes for sale in La Caille will be well above the $1,500,000 in the future, at a minimum, with some properties on the larger multiple acre lots likely worth over $3,000,000 plus.
Homes in La Caille are ideally located close to great dining options, such as Bourbon and Bones Steakhouse, which you can quite literally walk to if you wanted to. You are also near great shopping options, grocery stores, amazing schools, and hiking and mountain biking trails.
7. Copper Creek Estates
A highly sought-after gated subdivision showcasing custom homes on estate-sized lots. Expect spacious interiors, resort-style backyards, and mature desert landscaping—all within a private, community-oriented environment.
Located on the Eastern side of North Peoria near Happy Valley Rd and 67th Ave, this community is close to the luxurious Lifetime Gym and many new shopping and dining options in North Peoria.
As of Summer 2025, the last two properties to close in Copper Creek Estates traded between $3,600,000 – $3,800,000.
