Imagine waking up to soft desert light, sipping coffee on a patio framed by saguaro silhouettes, then strolling your way out to the trails before the rest of the world stirs. That’s the kind of life waiting at Verdin — a place where slow-living meets intentional luxury in the heart of North Phoenix.

Why Verdin stands apart

Located in the rapidly growing 85085 zip code and developed by Taylor Morrison, Verdin spans more than 470 acres of prime Sonoran Desert landscape. It’s not just another new-build neighborhood—it’s a master-planned community built for people who want space, style, and a connection to the outdoors all without sacrificing elegance.

Here are some of the features that make Verdin different:

• A variety of home collections that span from entry level to luxurious, allowing for a range of lifestyles without compromising quality or aesthetic.
• Thoughtfully designed floor plans that emphasize depth, light, and connection to the desert surroundings rather than oversized backyards. (The lots tend to be narrower, allowing the home itself more room to breathe.)
• Convenient proximity to the Sonoran Preserve and regional hiking trails — for those who believe luxury means stepping outside, not shutting the world out.

Explore the Home Collections

To experience this community fully means understanding the layers of what it offers. From warm single‐story homes to estate-level models, each collection brings something unique.

Discovery Collection
If you’re looking to begin with ease, the Discovery homes start in the high $600 Ks, with the Iris model offering around 1,982 sq ft. Step further up and you’ll see the Poppy model, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and an optional flex room. The two-story Azelia model stretches beyond 3,200 sq ft, includes a 3-car tandem garage, formal dining room, and the much-valued option for a downstairs bedroom with full bath.
Here the emphasis is on interior space — you’ll notice the homes extend deeper back rather than stretching wide.

Passage Collection
Moving up in scale, the Passage homes start around the $760 K mark. These homes range from roughly 2,300 sq ft up to nearly 4,000 sq ft, and each comes with a minimum 3-car garage. Models such as the Yellowstone (Craftsman style) and Olympic (Modern Farmhouse style) offer refined details and optimized layouts, in the Olympic you’ll find the primary bedroom on the first floor, which many appreciate for convenience or future resale.

Summit & Odyssey Collections
For those wanting even more space and elevated finishes:

• The Summit Collection begins around $1.03 M and features six different models including the Rixford, designed for multigenerational living.
• The Odyssey Collection blends size and versatility in a slightly different way: starting around $940 K, homes here range from ~2,620 sq ft to 3,474 sq ft and include unique features like a toy/RV garage — perfect for those who count adventure gear in their daily lives.

Capstone Collection
The pinnacle of the community, the Capstone homes are still under construction and will command a price tag north of $1.3 M. It’s where luxury is pushed further, and the refined end-game of living at Verdin is realized.

The Lifestyle You’ve Been Waiting For

When you choose Verdin, you’re choosing more than a home: you’re choosing a rhythm. A rhythm that respects time, views, calm mornings, desert trails at your doorstep, and the luxury of thoughtful design. Here’s what that looks like:

• Gated entries and curated architecture that say “elegant desert home” without being ostentatious.
• Access to walking trails that wind into the Sonoran Desert — perfect for solo reflection, morning dog walks, or family bike rides.
• Homes designed to live well: three-car garages, RV bays, flex rooms, downstairs bedrooms — all the smart elements you expect when you don’t want to compromise.
• A location in North Phoenix that allows you to enjoy suburban calm while still being connected to dining, shopping and the city when you choose.

Is Verdin right for you?

If you prefer spaces where you feel grounded rather than overstimulated, this could be it. If you love architecture that embraces the desert light, and you want home features that align with how you live — not just how a builder thinks you should live—then you’re in the right place.
