Las Ventanas is one of Goodyear’s most exciting new addresses — a 145-acre master-planned community developed by Mattamy Homes at the southeast corner of Perryville Road and Yuma Road in the fast-growing Southwest Valley. Sales launched in December 2024, making Las Ventanas homes for sale one of the freshest opportunities in the Phoenix metropolitan area for buyers seeking a brand-new home with genuine resort-quality amenities and covered RV storage. As Carl Chapman, Associate Broker with West USA Realty, I’ve watched Goodyear transform from a small agricultural town into one of the Valley’s most dynamic real estate markets, and this community captures everything that makes the Southwest Valley compelling.
Positioned roughly 26 miles west of downtown Phoenix along Interstate 10 and Loop 303, Las Ventanas connects residents to major employment centers without the congestion of central Phoenix. The lifestyle promise here is genuine: a thoughtfully designed neighborhood where outdoor enthusiasts, young families, and active adults can find exactly what they need.
Las Ventanas is an exclusively Mattamy Homes community — North America’s largest privately owned homebuilder — organized into three distinct collections that target different buyer profiles with precision. The community encompasses 18 standard floorplans plus five specialized RV-garage plans, all constructed to ENERGY STAR® certification standards with smart-home features including Ecobee smart thermostats integrated with Amazon Alexa.
The Sterling Collection and Ruby Collection anchor the main neighborhood, offering single-family homes from approximately 1,868 to 3,438 square feet on 60- to 80-foot homesites with 8-foot-wide side yards. These plans feature open-concept great rooms, gourmet kitchens with built-in Whirlpool appliances, and popular Architect’s Choice upgrades including a 16-foot multi-sliding glass door and an optional next-generation in-law suite. Prices in these collections have started in the mid-$400,000s, with finished homes reaching into the low $600,000s depending on lot premium and selected options.
The Amethyst Collection is where Las Ventanas truly distinguishes itself from every other new community in the West Valley. These homes — ranging from 2,236 to 3,215 square feet — come with full attached RV garages alongside standard three-car garages, creating purpose-built storage for motorhomes, boats, ATVs, and other oversized recreational equipment. The Lilac plan (2,488 sq. ft., three bedrooms) and the Violet plan (3,215 sq. ft., five bedrooms) are the signature offerings; the Violet regularly attracts multi-generational buyers who need both the RV bay and a dedicated guest suite. All three collections occupy a single contiguous parcel, giving Las Ventanas a cohesive neighborhood character rather than the fragmented feel of phased developments. Every home across all collections carries ENERGY STAR® certification with Ecobee smart thermostats integrated with Amazon Alexa, and greenbelts and walking paths knit the collections together visually and socially.
The most significant natural asset serving Las Ventanas residents is Estrella Mountain Regional Park, a Maricopa County preserve with over 16 square miles adjacent to Goodyear and more than 33 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Popular named trails include:
The Casey Abbott Recreation Area within the park adds baseball diamonds, volleyball, fishing, and picnic ramadas. A competitive mountain bike track with two loops totaling 13 miles hosts regional racing events throughout the cooler months.
At the heart of Las Ventanas sits a five-acre centrally located park with an open-air pavilion, game lawn, lounge seating, tot lots, and shaded play structures throughout. Residents enjoy pickleball, basketball, bocce ball, and a community amphitheater on the event lawn. Walking paths and greenbelts thread through the neighborhood, making it easy to get outside without leaving the subdivision.
Two distinct golf experiences are available near Las Ventanas. The Golf Club of Estrella — a par-72, 18-hole championship course designed by Jack Nicklaus II and managed by Troon Golf — offers 7,102 yards of desert golf framed by Sierra Estrella mountain views and consistently ranks among Arizona’s top 20 public courses. For a more relaxed round, the Tres Rios Golf Course at Estrella Mountain Regional Park is an 18-hole public facility designed by Red Lawrence and managed by Touchstone Golf, offering a parkland-style experience at an accessible price point.
Las Ventanas is served primarily by the Liberty Elementary School District, one of the most respected K–8 districts in the Southwest Valley. Estrella Mountain Elementary School (10301 S. San Miguel Drive, Goodyear) is the flagship campus within the district and stands out statewide for its robust programming. The school hosts the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary and Middle Years Programme, a globally recognized curriculum framework that develops critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and inquiry-based learning. The school has earned a B rating from the Arizona Department of Education and has produced a Principal of the Year Semifinalist as recognized by the Maricopa County Superintendent’s office. A Gifted & Talented program and 11 competitive sports round out the offerings for K–8 families.
Buyers with children in the western portion of the community may fall within other Liberty Elementary District attendance zones — including Quentin Elementary School and Cottonwood Elementary School — and should confirm current enrollment boundaries directly with the district using Maricopa County parcel-lookup tools, as boundaries shift with growth.
Students completing the Liberty Elementary District’s K–8 progression transition to the Buckeye Union High School District for grades 9–12, which the Arizona Department of Education has rated A. Estrella Foothills High School (13033 S. Estrella Parkway, Goodyear) is the designated feeder campus for most Las Ventanas families. The school enrolls approximately 1,460 students and offers a strong Advanced Placement course catalog, career pathway programs in technology and health sciences, and a wide array of extracurricular activities. Estrella Mountain Community College, located just a few miles from the community, extends the educational pipeline for dual-enrollment high schoolers and adult learners pursuing two-year and workforce-certification programs.
Las Ventanas residents enjoy one of the West Valley’s most complete retail environments immediately nearby. Canyon Trails Towne Center — a 90-acre mixed-use shopping center anchored at Cotton Lane and Yuma Road — has reached 100-percent occupancy and continues to expand. Anchor tenants include Super Target, Ross, PetSmart, and Pottery Barn Outlet. Dining options span Starbucks, Chipotle, Freddy’s Steakburgers & Frozen Custard, Wingstop, and Tropical Smoothie Café, alongside fitness at Orangetheory Fitness and an array of medical and personal services. Canyon Trails functions as the de facto town square for Goodyear’s southwest quadrant.
Several miles northeast, GSQ at 150th Drive and Goodyear Way represents Goodyear’s walkable urban core, anchored by locally owned restaurants Cantina Gueros and Haymaker. The Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale — home to State Farm Stadium, Desert Diamond Arena, and a dense concentration of restaurants and bars — is roughly 20 minutes north on Loop 303. Goodyear Ballpark hosts MLB spring training for the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds each February and March, while Phoenix Raceway in nearby Avondale stages two NASCAR Cup Series weekends annually. Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium in Litchfield Park offers year-round family entertainment within 20 minutes.
Interstate 10 and Loop 303 provide the primary freeway connections for Las Ventanas residents. Downtown Phoenix is approximately 26 miles and 30–35 minutes via I-10 under typical conditions. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is reachable in under 35 minutes, while the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport — a general aviation facility — sits just minutes from the community. Major surface streets including Yuma Road, Perryville Road, and Estrella Parkway provide east-west and north-south access to Goodyear’s commercial corridors. Valley Metro bus service serves Goodyear along the I-10 corridor, and the ongoing expansion of transit options in the West Valley is expected to improve regional connectivity over the coming decade.
Las Ventanas is not simply a new subdivision — it is a purpose-built lifestyle community engineered for how modern Arizona families actually live. From Mattamy Homes‘ innovative ENERGY STAR®-certified construction to the unmatched Amethyst Collection RV garage plans, every element was designed with intention. The five-acre central park, pickleball and bocce courts, community amphitheater, and proximity to Estrella Mountain Regional Park’s 33-mile trail network give residents an outdoor lifestyle most neighborhoods can only promise. Families gain access to the IB-certified Estrella Mountain Elementary School and an A-rated high school district, and Goodyear’s trajectory makes the investment case as compelling as the lifestyle.

Las Ventanas is a single-builder, new-construction community developed exclusively by Mattamy Homes, with sales activity beginning in December 2024. Home prices in the Sterling and Ruby Collections have ranged from the mid-$400,000s to the low $600,000s, while the Amethyst RV Collection homes start in the high $500,000s and reach toward the upper $700,000s for larger plans with full upgrades. Price per square foot has generally tracked between $220 and $260 depending on collection, lot position, and selected Architect’s Choice options. Days on market for new construction here are influenced by builder release schedules rather than typical resale dynamics; move-in-ready inventory is limited and tends to move quickly. As construction phases complete and the community matures, appreciation should align with Goodyear’s broader upward trend, one of the strongest in Maricopa County.
Elementary and middle school students in Las Ventanas are served by the Liberty Elementary School District, with Estrella Mountain Elementary School as the primary campus. The school holds a B rating from the Arizona Department of Education, hosts the International Baccalaureate Primary and Middle Years Programme, and offers a Gifted & Talented track. For high school, students feed to Estrella Foothills High School within the Buckeye Union High School District — an A-rated district — where Advanced Placement coursework, technology pathways, and health science career programs are available. Estrella Mountain Community College is nearby for dual enrollment and continuing education. Buyers should verify current attendance boundaries directly with both districts, as rapid growth in southwest Goodyear causes periodic rezoning.
The community’s five-acre central park is the heart of Las Ventanas, featuring a large open-air pavilion with grills and picnic tables, a game lawn, lounge seating, tot lots, and shaded play structures throughout the neighborhood. Active recreation options include pickleball courts, basketball courts, bocce ball, a community amphitheater, event lawn, and greenbelt walking paths connecting the subdivisions. Homes in the Amethyst Collection add a distinctly rare amenity: full attached RV garages alongside three-car garages, providing secure covered storage for motorhomes, boats, and ATVs that few communities in the Phoenix metro can offer. The Golf Club of Estrella (Jack Nicklaus II design) and Tres Rios Golf Course at Estrella Mountain Regional Park serve golfers of every skill level nearby.
Canyon Trails Towne Center at Cotton Lane and Yuma Road is the community’s primary retail destination, anchored by Super Target, Ross, PetSmart, and Pottery Barn Outlet, with dining from Chipotle, Freddy’s Steakburgers, Wingstop, and Starbucks among many others. The emerging GSQ district in northern Goodyear adds locally owned dining including Cantina Gueros and Haymaker. Sports and entertainment options include Goodyear Ballpark (MLB spring training for the Guardians and Reds), Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, and Wildlife World Zoo & Aquarium in Litchfield Park. The Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale — home to State Farm Stadium and a full roster of restaurants and venues — is approximately 20 minutes north on Loop 303.
Interstate 10 and Loop 303 are the primary freeways serving Las Ventanas, placing residents within 30–35 minutes of downtown Phoenix. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is accessible in under 35 minutes via I-10 east; the general aviation Phoenix-Goodyear Airport is just minutes away. Key surface streets — Yuma Road, Perryville Road, and Estrella Parkway — connect residents to Goodyear’s commercial core. Valley Metro bus routes serve the I-10 corridor, and major employment hubs along Loop 303 — logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare — are reachable in under 20 minutes.
Goodyear consistently ranks among Arizona’s safest mid-size cities, with crime rates well below state averages. Las Ventanas is served by the Goodyear Police Department, which maintains fast response times and a community-oriented policing model. The HOA governs architectural and landscaping standards, contributing to a well-maintained streetscape that discourages opportunistic property crime. While not gated, the community’s internal street network and active park design create natural surveillance throughout the day. All infrastructure — street lighting, sidewalks, and traffic calming — is built to current Goodyear city code.
Banner Estrella Medical Center in Phoenix serves as the primary hospital for Las Ventanas residents, offering a full-service emergency department, cardiac care, maternity services, and oncology. The new Banner Health Center at Goodyear (1800 N. Civic Square) brings a 65,000-square-foot multi-specialty facility directly to the city, offering primary care, specialty medicine, and advanced imaging without a drive to Phoenix. The Banner Medical Group Estrella Mountain Ranch clinic provides additional primary and behavioral health care locally. Urgent care options from multiple providers are distributed along the Estrella Parkway and Dysart Road corridors. The Goodyear Fire Department operates modern stations serving the southwest portion of the city, with response times that meet or exceed national benchmarks.
The crown jewel of outdoor recreation for Las Ventanas residents is Estrella Mountain Regional Park, with more than 33 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The Baseline Trail, Pederson Trail, Rainbow Valley Trail, Toothaker Trail, and Butterfield Trail cover the full spectrum from beginner-friendly loops to all-day wilderness adventures. The Casey Abbott Recreation Area within the park adds baseball diamonds, volleyball, fishing, and picnic ramadas. Within the community itself, the five-acre central park and greenbelt system provide daily exercise options. The dry Sonoran Desert climate allows year-round outdoor activity, with the most popular hiking season running October through April. Competitive mountain bike events and organized trail races at Estrella Mountain draw participants from across the Valley.
As a newly launched community, Las Ventanas is building its social calendar organically, and Mattamy Homes invested in the amphitheater, event lawn, and pavilion specifically to host resident gatherings. HOA-organized events and seasonal celebrations are expected to grow as the neighborhood fills. Nearby, the City of Goodyear hosts recurring programming at Goodyear Ballpark during MLB spring training, community festivals at Goodyear Community Park, and seasonal farmers’ markets throughout the year. Residents active in outdoor sports will find an engaged community of hikers, cyclists, and golfers through informal networks anchored at Estrella Mountain Regional Park.
Goodyear enjoys a classic Sonoran Desert climate with more than 300 days of sunshine annually. Summer high temperatures regularly reach 105–110°F from June through August; January lows average in the low 40s°F, with daytime highs typically in the mid-60s. Annual rainfall averages approximately 7–8 inches, punctuated by the monsoon season that runs from mid-June through September, delivering dramatic afternoon thunderstorms and occasional flash-flood events in natural washes. The West Valley’s lower elevation keeps temperatures very slightly warmer than central Phoenix, but the community’s desert landscaping and ENERGY STAR®-certified construction help moderate indoor energy costs year-round. Outdoor enthusiasts planning trail use should schedule sunrise starts from June through August to beat the heat.
Las Ventanas operates under a Mattamy Homes-established homeowners association with monthly dues currently set at $138. The HOA governs architectural modifications, exterior paint and material choices, landscaping standards, and the maintenance of common areas including the central park, pavilion, sports courts, and greenbelts. Standard HOA guidelines require desert-appropriate landscaping that conserves water while maintaining curb appeal consistent with the community aesthetic. The community does not currently operate as gated, but HOA rules restrict commercial vehicle parking in the public right-of-way — a provision that buyers with large work trucks or equipment trailers should review carefully before purchase. The RV garage lots in the Amethyst Collection were designed specifically to accommodate oversized vehicles within the HOA’s guidelines.
Goodyear’s economic base has diversified dramatically over the past decade. Raytheon (defense and aerospace) operates a significant facility along the Loop 303 corridor, joined by Walmart (regional distribution), and Banner Health (a major healthcare employer throughout the West Valley). Intel’s semiconductor campus in nearby Chandler is accessible via I-10, and Luke Air Force Base in Glendale employs thousands of military and civilian personnel within commuting distance. The logistics sector has expanded rapidly along both I-10 and Loop 303, with national retailers creating large-scale warehouse and operations employment. Estrella Mountain Community College contributes workforce training and stable educational-sector jobs to the local economy.
Buyers considering Las Ventanas homes for sale should budget for Maricopa County property taxes, typically assessed at approximately 1.0–1.3% of assessed value. HOA fees run $138 per month, covering common area maintenance and community management. New-construction buyers should also account for lot premiums (corner and park-facing lots command upcharges), design-center structural options, and backyard landscaping costs — Mattamy delivers the rear yard as a blank slate. Arizona’s favorable tax climate keeps total cost of ownership competitive versus comparable communities in California or Colorado. Builder-affiliated mortgage programs and incentive packages have been active at Las Ventanas since launch; comparing these against independent financing before committing is always advisable.
Las Ventanas falls within the City of Goodyear, incorporated and governed by a council-manager structure with an elected mayor and city council. Goodyear has been among Arizona’s most proactive municipalities in planning for rapid growth, investing in road infrastructure, parks, and public safety capacity ahead of population demand. Residents receive city trash and recycling pickup, access to Goodyear’s public library system and recreation centers, and the benefit of a municipal planning department that actively coordinates with HOA communities on street and utility maintenance. The Maricopa County Assessor manages property valuations, and the county’s Flood Control District maintains the natural wash corridors in the region. Goodyear’s city website provides online permitting, utility management, and community event information for new residents.
