Estrella continues to grow as one of the West Valley’s most sought-after master-planned communities, and a significant milestone has just been reached in Lucero, the community’s newest village.
D.R. Horton has acquired the final residential lots within Lucero, purchasing 232 homesites across approximately 90 acres. The transaction completes residential lot sales within the village and represents another exciting step forward in the continued evolution of Estrella.
For future homebuyers, the purchase signals new opportunities ahead. D.R. Horton anticipates opening model homes and beginning home sales in fall 2027, offering a mix of single-story and two-story floor plans ranging from approximately 1,300 to 2,400 square feet.
“The purchase of the final residential lots by D.R. Horton represents an exciting moment for our team and for the future of Estrella,” said Roger Theis, Vice President of Harvard Communities. “We’re seeing years of planning and investment come to fruition as Lucero continues to attract respected homebuilders and residents seeking an exceptional lifestyle within Estrella.”
Since its debut, Lucero has emerged as one of Estrella’s most desirable neighborhoods, welcoming residents with a unique blend of convenience, recreation, and community spirit.
Located near the entrance to Estrella, Lucero serves as a vibrant gateway to the community and is home to the Estrella Welcome Center and the popular Café Bebida, where residents and visitors gather to connect and enjoy panoramic mountain views.
The village also features Ladera Park, a family-friendly destination complete with a playground, splash pad, shaded play areas, gathering spaces, and open green spaces designed to bring neighbors together.
Lucero residents enjoy access to all the amenities that have made Estrella one of the premier master-planned communities in the Southwest. From miles of hiking and biking trails and scenic lakes to top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and resident clubs, Estrella offers a lifestyle that balances outdoor adventure with everyday convenience.
It’s this combination of natural beauty, thoughtfully planned neighborhoods, and community-focused amenities that continues to attract homebuyers to the area and drive demand for new homes.
As D.R. Horton expands its presence within Estrella, future residents will have even more opportunities to become part of a community designed around connection, wellness, and discovery.
The completion of residential lot sales in Lucero marks an important chapter in Estrella’s ongoing story. As new homes, amenities, and experiences continue to take shape, the community remains committed to providing exceptional living opportunities for residents today and for generations to come.
With exciting new neighborhoods on the horizon and continued investment throughout the community, the future of Estrella has never looked brighter.
