A large, family-oriented master-planned community in the North Valley along I-17, built around parks, golf, and a strong sense of community.
Anthem is technically an unincorporated community rather than its own city, but it functions like one, built essentially all at once starting in the late 1990s as a large, master-planned development along I-17. That single-developer origin shows in how cohesive the community feels, consistent architecture, extensive shared parks, and a level of amenity investment that's hard to match in an organically grown city.
The community is split into Anthem Country Club, a gated, golf-oriented section, and the broader Parkside area, which makes up most of the community's family-oriented housing. Anthem Community Park anchors the center of town, with pools, sports fields, and regularly scheduled community events throughout the year.
Moving to Anthem Arizona typically appeals to families specifically looking for that master-planned, amenity-heavy lifestyle, in a location that trades some commute time to central Phoenix for a strong sense of community and consistent home quality.
