Homebuyers Can't Resist Maracay Homes Desert Pass in the Sonoran Foothills Master-Plan—Mountain Views, Gated Community, Spacious New Floorplans and Great Value.  What's Not to Love!

Award-winning Arizona builder Maracay Homes has debuted Desert Pass at Sonoran Mountain Foothills, a gated community enfolded by the stark beauty of the High Sonoran Desert. The eight elegant floor plans—starting from $329,900—feature modern kitchens with granite counters and double islands, spacious master suites and large backyards with mountain views.

The single-family homes range in size from approximately 2,692 square feet to 4,631 square feet, with the largest floorplans offering options to accommodate up to nine bedrooms, six baths and even a four-car garage; an ideal solution for multi-generational families and buyers who enjoy entertaining and hosting weekend guests.

All of the models can be extensively customized, thanks to Maracay’s innovative Flex Design® innovation, which provides an unprecedented level of choice in floorplans, design selections, standard features and options, as well as in buyers’ selection of mortgage lenders, pool builders and landscape contractors. Beautifully finished basements are also available, adding up to 1,292 square feet of living space for those desiring a workout room, media room, recreation room, wine cellar and other active living spaces.

Desert Pass is situated within the Sonoran Foothills master-planned community, an unspoiled expanse of 800 acres nestled amid the rising foothills of North Phoenix. A network of trail systems and meandering sidewalks will connect neighborhoods to each other and to the proposed Northern Mountain Preserve nearby.

Sonoran Foothills offers residents an abundance of amenities, including a 4,000 square foot clubhouse and a community park. Parents will appreciate the splash fountain, children’s wading pool, shade ramadas, picnic pavilion, playground and sandlot, and large grass lawn for homeowner gatherings and activities. A new elementary school is also proposed. Sports enthusiasts will love the basketball, soccer fields, lap and leisure pool, volleyball and illuminated tennis courts. Proposed future development includes a neighborhood retail center and a commercial core.

Desert Pass is located on 27th Drive, south of the Carefree Highway in Phoenix. For more information, telephone 623.792.5183. Neighborhood maps and directions are available on the Maracay Homes website at www.maracayhomes.com.

Save energy, stay cool – and go green this summer

How to stay cool, save energy – and some cash!  It can be easier than you think to make a few small changes that have real effect on your energy use and bills!

Whew!  No way to skirt this issue:  Arizona gets hot in the summer.  Dry heat?  Well, sure, but so’s the heat inside your oven! 

Keeping cool during our summers takes a lot of energy.  It’s expensive, too.  Energy costs for an Arizona home of around 2,000 square feet can run as much as $200 to $300 a month between June and September.
