Where Luxury and Nature Live in Harmony
If a sophisticated “urban-suburban” lifestyle appeals to you, then welcome home to Del Webb’s Fireside at Desert Ridge, an all-ages community. Located in North Phoenix in one of the Valley’s most sought after and talked about addresses, Desert Ridge offers families the perfect combination of seclusion and serenity, yet access to upscale shopping, elegant dining, and unlimited entertainment.
The liveliness of the Desert Ridge Marketplace is just around the corner with great restaurants, shopping, comedy, and live music, but if you want to head into downtown Phoenix or Scottsdale, you’re minutes away. In fact, with such close proximity to the 101, any destination in the valley is accessible. You can head out to a number of 18-hole championship golf courses, drive to the desert for a date with nature, or into downtown to see the Arizona Diamondbacks play. Your choices are unlimited - even right here within the community. With separate lap and resort-style pools, a children’s splash area, state-of-the-art fitness center, movement studio, and yoga garden you’ll feel like you’re at an upscale resort rather than your neighborhood community center.
Because Del Webb recognizes each family is different we have an abundance of floor plans for every lifestyle-whether you’re looking for a traditional single-family home or maintenance-free living. And you’ll have confidence knowing Del Webb’s outstanding quality can be found in each and every floor plan in such details as granite or Corian® countertops, nine-foot and 10-foot ceilings, and generously sized walk-in closets. If you value the community you live in as much as you do your home, you’ll love Fireside at Desert Ridge. Welcome home.
