Avion is one of the most compelling new master-planned communities in the West Valley, positioned in southern Goodyear near the intersection of West Lower Buckeye Road and South Bullard Avenue in the 85338 zip code. Development began in the early 2020s and continues to expand, with the masterplan delivering hundreds of new single-family homes across multiple builder neighborhoods. The community sits adjacent to Goodyear Ballpark, the spring training and player development home of the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds — residents can walk to a Cactus League game or watch professional players train through much of February and March.
As an Associate Broker with West USA Realty, I’ve watched Goodyear’s southern corridor transform over the past decade, and Avion represents that growth at its most intentional. The community draws first-time buyers, multigenerational families, and relocating professionals who want new construction with resort-style amenities and easy I-10 access. With prices starting in the mid-$400,000s, Avion homes for sale offer exceptional value in a metro market where comparable product trades considerably higher near Phoenix’s core.
Avion was established by Lennar as the community’s founding and primary builder, and Lennar’s presence here reflects the company’s full platform. Three distinct Lennar collections give buyers meaningful choice without leaving the masterplan.
Lennar Premier Collection targets entry-level and right-sizing buyers with single-story floor plans from approximately 1,401 to 1,479 square feet, priced from the low-to-mid $400,000s. Every home delivers Lennar’s Everything’s Included® package — smart home technology, energy-efficient construction, designer finishes, and stainless appliances — at a price point that outcompetes resale product of comparable age.
Lennar Horizon Collection steps up to 2,233–2,524 square feet and incorporates the builder’s celebrated Next Gen® — The Home Within a Home® floor plans. The attached suite offers its own entrance, living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom — designed for aging parents, college-age children, or a dedicated home office — without compromising the main household’s privacy. Pricing spans roughly the mid-$470,000s to upper $570,000s.
Lennar Arbor Collection rounds out the Lennar offering with additional Next Gen®-capable layouts in the mid-range, giving multigenerational buyers yet another configuration to evaluate.
In July 2025, Richmond American Homes expanded Avion with two brand-new neighborhoods: Portfolio at Avion (15794 W. Miami Street) and Seasons at Avion (15781 W. Vogel Avenue). Richmond American’s Seasons™ Collection showcases nine floor plans in single- and two-story configurations, each delivered with professionally curated fixtures and finishes. The Portfolio neighborhood offers larger footprints, including the Raleigh plan with a gourmet kitchen island, butler’s pantry, and spacious primary suite — base priced from the low-to-mid $500,000s.
The current inventory mix is exclusively new construction single-family detached homes, ranging from approximately 1,400 to 2,700 square feet. Avion does not include townhomes or condominiums; every home sits on its own lot with a private yard.
The defining recreational asset of Avion’s address is Goodyear Ballpark at 1933 S. Ballpark Way, a short walk or bike ride from the community’s eastern edge. The stadium opened in February 2009 as a $108 million project that returned MLB spring training to the West Valley. Today it hosts the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds each spring, features more than 8,000 stadium seats and 1,500 berm seats, and includes six luxury suites and group party decks. Beyond baseball, the ballpark hosts car shows, July 4th celebrations, tournaments, and community events year-round — effectively functioning as Goodyear’s civic town square.
Avion’s most significant natural amenity is Estrella Mountain Regional Park at 14805 W. Vineyard Avenue, roughly five miles to the southwest. At approximately 19,840 acres — the second largest park in the Maricopa County park system — it offers more than 33 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian riding through pristine Sonoran Desert landscape near the confluence of the Gila and Agua Fria Rivers. Key named trails include:
The park also contains an 18-hole golf course within the Casey Abbott Recreation Area, a competitive mountain biking track, an amphitheater, playgrounds, and RV camping with hookups.
Within the Avion masterplan itself, residents enjoy a resort-style community pool and spa, a pickleball court, and a playground. A lush green belt threads through the community, providing shaded walking corridors and gathering space. These on-site amenities are designed to serve residents at every life stage — from young children using the playground to active adults competing on the pickleball court.
Avion falls within the Avondale Elementary School District, which serves Goodyear and Avondale with nine K–8 campuses. Centerra Mirage STEM Academy (PK–8, 15151 W. Centerra Drive S.) sits approximately one mile north of Avion and is the most proximate campus, integrating STEM programming and a Gifted & Talented program into its PK–8 curriculum. Copper Trails School (K–8, 16875 W. Canyon Trails Blvd.) has earned recognition as one of the West Valley’s best public elementary schools and also offers Gifted & Talented coursework. Desert Thunder School (K–8) and Desert Star School (K–8) round out nearby Avondale Elementary options. Families should confirm parcel-level assignments directly with the district, as attendance zones are being actively redrawn to accommodate new development.
Charter alternatives in the 85338 zip code include BASIS Goodyear Primary (K–5) and Legacy Traditional School – Goodyear, both of which consistently outperform district averages and operate on open-enrollment lottery systems.
For grades 9–12, Avion feeds into the Agua Fria Union High School District, which serves Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, and Waddell with six high schools and three alternative programs.
Goodyear High School — the district’s newest campus — opened August 2025 at 17300 W. Van Buren Street, just 1.5 miles from Avion’s western edge. It launched with approximately 425 freshman students in its inaugural year, with plans to expand to a full 9–12 program as the campus is completed. Families moving into Avion now should confirm current boundary assignments with the district, as zone lines were redrawn in December 2024 specifically to account for new housing development in the area.
Desert Edge High School (15778 W. Yuma Road, Goodyear) serves roughly 2,050 students, offers Advanced Placement coursework with a 32% AP participation rate, and carries a Niche overall grade of B. Millennium High School (14802 W. Wigwam Blvd., Goodyear), established in 1999, serves approximately 2,250 students with 23 varsity sports and a strong AP catalog.
The premier retail destination serving Avion residents is the Palm Valley Pavilions complex at Litchfield Road and McDowell Road, approximately six miles north. Three adjacent power centers — West, East, and North — combine to form one of the Valley’s most complete suburban retail hubs. Palm Valley Pavilions West is anchored by Best Buy, Total Wine & More, Barnes & Noble, Ulta Beauty, and Ross Dress for Less. Palm Valley Pavilions East adds Target, Michaels, Café Rio, Chili’s, Five Guys, Cracker Barrel, and Starbucks. The broader complex also hosts Chipotle Mexican Grill, Wildflower Bread Company, Hayashi Hibachi, MOD Pizza, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, and Bath & Body Works.
Palm Valley Marketplace, anchored by a high-volume Safeway, provides full-service grocery at Indian School Road and Litchfield Road and is complemented by Main Squeeze Juice Co., OrangeTheory Fitness, and Domino’s Pizza.
Harkins Estrella Falls 16 delivers multiplex movie entertainment at The Market at Estrella Falls on Estrella Parkway — a convenient 10-minute drive from the community. Downtown Goodyear’s mixed-use development known as GSQ (Goodyear Square) continues to expand with incoming restaurants including Fogo de Chão, First Watch, Flower Child, and Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, cementing the city’s commitment to a walkable urban core just miles from Avion.
Avion sits within one mile of the I-10 interchange at Bullard Avenue. Loop 303 is accessible three miles north via Litchfield Road, extending reach to the Northwest Valley and the Loop 101 corridor. Sky Harbor International Airport is approximately 21 miles east — a 20–25 minute drive off-peak. Downtown Phoenix is roughly 22 miles east on the same corridor. The Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (GYR) serves private aviation with Lux Air Jet Centers on-site. Goodyear’s 100-plus miles of paved bike routes connect to the regional Maricopa Trail network.
Few new communities in the Phoenix metropolitan area combine Avion’s strengths so cleanly: fresh construction from two established national builders, resort-style amenities within the masterplan, walkable access to a professional ballpark, and direct I-10 access to every employment corridor in the Valley — all priced competitively in the mid-$400,000s to low $500,000s. Goodyear remains one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, and Avion homes for sale sit at the center of that growth story.

Avion is an active-build new construction community in Goodyear, Arizona, developed by Lennar and Richmond American Homes. Lennar’s Premier Collection begins in the low-to-mid $400,000s; Horizon and Arbor Collection homes range from the mid-$470,000s to upper $570,000s. Richmond American’s Portfolio and Seasons neighborhoods start in the low-to-mid $500,000s. Estimated price per square foot across the community runs $170–$230 depending on collection and upgrade level. Days on market for completed new construction in this corridor typically range 30–75 days. The broader Goodyear market recorded a median sale price near $466,000 in late 2025, and Avion’s pricing aligns with that benchmark while offering the premium of new construction warranties and energy-efficient systems.
Avion falls within the Avondale Elementary School District for K–8 and the Agua Fria Union High School District for grades 9–12. The most proximate elementary campus is Centerra Mirage STEM Academy (PK–8), which offers integrated STEM programming and a Gifted & Talented program. Copper Trails School (K–8) has earned recognition as one of the West Valley’s best public elementary schools. For high school, Goodyear High School — which opened fall 2025 — is approximately 1.5 miles from the community; Desert Edge High School also serves the area with AP coursework and a 32% AP participation rate. Charter alternatives including BASIS Goodyear Primary and Legacy Traditional School – Goodyear report above-average test outcomes. Families should verify parcel-level assignments with both districts, as boundaries were redrawn in 2024–2025.
The Avion masterplan includes a resort-style community pool and spa, a pickleball court, a playground, and a green belt walking corridor — all maintained by the community HOA. Residents have walkable access to Goodyear Ballpark, which hosts Cactus League spring training for the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds plus year-round community events. The Casey Abbott Recreation Area within Estrella Mountain Regional Park provides an 18-hole golf course, an amphitheater, volleyball courts, and competitive mountain biking tracks. Goodyear’s citywide network of more than 100 miles of paved bike routes connects Avion to regional trail systems.
The Palm Valley Pavilions cluster at Litchfield Road and McDowell Road is the community’s primary retail destination, with Best Buy, Total Wine & More, Target, Ulta Beauty, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks, Chipotle, Five Guys, and Café Rio among the dozens of tenants. Palm Valley Marketplace on Indian School Road provides a Safeway-anchored grocery center with fitness and service tenants. Movie entertainment is available at Harkins Estrella Falls 16. The emerging GSQ mixed-use district in downtown Goodyear is adding Fogo de Chão, First Watch, Flower Child, and Kura Revolving Sushi Bar to a growing dining corridor. A Walmart Supercenter at 1100 N. Estrella Parkway provides one-stop convenience within three miles.
Interstate 10 is accessible within one mile of Avion via the Bullard Avenue interchange, enabling straightforward commutes east to downtown Phoenix (approximately 22 miles, 20–25 minutes off-peak) or west toward the Loop 303 interchange at Litchfield Road. Loop 303 connects north to Peoria, Surprise, and the Loop 101, broadening access to the Northwest Valley’s employment corridors. Sky Harbor International Airport is approximately 21 miles east, a 20–25 minute drive. The Phoenix-Goodyear Airport serves general aviation needs locally. Goodyear’s 100-plus miles of paved bike routes integrate with the regional Maricopa Trail system, and the city’s grid-pattern surface streets facilitate local circulation efficiently.
Goodyear consistently maintains one of the lower crime rates among Arizona cities of comparable size, a distinction that supports property values throughout its new master-planned developments. The community is served by the Goodyear Police Department. Avion’s HOA enforces community standards including architectural covenants and landscape requirements that support the maintained appearance associated with lower-risk environments. New construction homes benefit from modern security infrastructure: reinforced door hardware, smart lock compatibility, and video doorbell provisions standard across the Lennar and Richmond American product lines.
The primary acute care resource for Avion residents is Banner Estrella Medical Center (9305 W. Thomas Road, Phoenix), a 353-bed fully electronic hospital recognized by Newsweek as one of the ten most innovative in the country. Banner Health recently approved a $35 million expansion adding 36 inpatient beds to Estrella Medical Center and announced the opening of a 65,000-square-foot multispecialty health center specifically in Goodyear. Abrazo West Campus in Avondale provides a second hospital option; a new Abrazo inpatient rehabilitation facility opened in Goodyear in 2025. Multiple urgent care centers, Banner Physical Therapy outposts, and specialty clinics operate along the Estrella Parkway and Litchfield Road corridors, keeping routine care well within a 10-minute drive.
Estrella Mountain Regional Park is the outdoor crown jewel for Avion residents, offering 33-plus miles of multi-use trails through 19,840 acres of Sonoran Desert near the Sierra Estrella range. The easy 2.4-mile Baseline Trail suits families and beginners; the strenuous 8.7-mile Pederson Trail provides a serious backcountry challenge. The park’s competitive mountain biking track hosts regional events and draws riders from across the metro. Goodyear’s 56 miles of natural trail and more than 100 miles of paved bike routes support year-round cycling, jogging, and walking. The October-through-April window is the most popular hiking season, when native wildflowers bloom across the desert floor. Adjacent Goodyear Ballpark adds a uniquely Arizona outdoor social calendar from February through March.
Avion’s internal HOA organizes seasonal resident events centered on the community pool and green belt. Goodyear Ballpark serves as the city’s civic anchor outside baseball season, hosting July 4th celebrations, car shows, tournaments, and graduation ceremonies annually. Harkins Estrella Falls 16 and the emerging GSQ dining district in downtown Goodyear add cultural and entertainment options within a short drive. Schools within the Avondale Elementary and Agua Fria Union districts run extracurricular sports, arts, and STEM programming that anchors much of the family social fabric. Goodyear’s population grew 46% from 2010 to 2020 and continues to attract young families, creating natural peer communities within new developments like Avion.
Goodyear enjoys the classic Valley of the Sun climate: more than 300 days of sunshine annually, low relative humidity, and mild winters that draw snowbirds and spring training fans alike. Summer highs reach 105–115°F from June through August, making pool access and dawn/dusk recreation the seasonal norm. Winter lows rarely dip below the mid-30s and December-January daytime temperatures regularly reach the low 70s. Annual rainfall averages approximately 8 inches, with the monsoon season delivering dramatic afternoon storms from mid-June through mid-September. Avion’s community pool and spa are heated for year-round usability — a practical amenity given the mild shoulder-season temperatures that define eight months of the Phoenix calendar.
Avion is governed by a master community HOA enforcing architectural design standards, landscape maintenance requirements, and usage guidelines for the pool, spa, and pickleball court. Homes within each builder neighborhood may also carry sub-association covenants layered beneath the master HOA. The community is zoned for single-family residential use within the City of Goodyear. Lennar homes are built to ENERGY STAR standards, incorporating solar-ready roofing, high-efficiency HVAC, and low-flow water fixtures as part of the Everything’s Included® package. Flood zone exposure should be confirmed at the parcel level via FEMA maps prior to purchase.
Goodyear has emerged as one of the Valley’s fastest-growing employment markets. Amazon, UPS, and Factor (a HelloFresh subsidiary) operate major distribution and fulfillment facilities in the city. Sub-Zero/Wolf and Meyer Burger Technology AG represent the advanced manufacturing sector. Cancer Treatment Centers of America (now City of Hope) chose Goodyear for its West Valley hospital campus, and Banner Health is a major healthcare employer with expanding Goodyear-area facilities. The aerospace sector benefits from proximity to Phoenix-Goodyear Airport and the West Valley’s Foreign Trade Zone designation, drawing additional high-wage employers. Most of these employment centers are reachable from Avion in under 15 minutes via I-10.
Property taxes in Maricopa County typically run approximately 1.0–1.3% of assessed value annually; new construction homes often carry a lower assessed value in their first few years, which can moderate the initial tax burden. HOA fees for Avion’s master association should be confirmed with each builder at contract, as assessments exist at both the masterplan and sub-community level. Utility costs reflect APS (Arizona Public Service) electric rates; Lennar’s energy-efficient construction — spray foam insulation, low-e windows, smart thermostats — typically reduces cooling costs compared to comparable resale product. New construction purchase incentives available through Lennar Mortgage and Richmond American’s HomeAmerican Mortgage, including rate buydowns and closing cost assistance, can meaningfully improve net affordability. Buyers using outside financing should request rate-buydown comparisons from builder lending affiliates before committing.
Avion residents are served by the City of Goodyear, operating under a council-manager form of government from City Hall at 190 N. Litchfield Road. The city provides trash and recycling collection, street maintenance, parks management, and code enforcement. Goodyear’s fire department maintains strategically positioned stations with emergency response times competitive with metro Phoenix averages. The city was recognized by the Arizona Association for Economic Development as its 2026 Economic Development Organization of the Year, underscoring strong public-sector management. Goodyear’s continued investment in the GSQ downtown district, new school construction bond projects, and Loop 303 corridor infrastructure signals genuine fiscal commitment to the quality of life for residents in growing communities like Avion.
