Anthem Arizona Real Estate in August 2026 is a tale of two zip codes… and any analysis that blends them produces a number that accurately describes neither side of the community. The combined market is showing a $615,000 median list price (up 1.8% month-over-month), a median 80 days on market (down 14% year-over-year), $267 per square foot, and 126 active listings serving a community of 22,584 residents. The most recent complete closed-sale median came in at $519,689… a $95,311 gap below the median asking price that punishes sellers who guess.
Underneath the headline numbers, 85086 (Parkside and Country Club) is working through a clear price normalization while 85087 (Anthem West) holds firmer against 12-month comps. Anthem Arizona Real Estate demand stays anchored by A-rated Deer Valley Unified schools, a 12 to 18 minute commute south on I-17 to TSMC’s $165 billion North Phoenix semiconductor campus, and resort-style amenities no resale data can replicate.
Moving to Anthem from California, Washington, or Texas?
Moving to Anthem from another state? Census data shows 234,900 people relocated to Arizona from another state in a single year, and the ten largest origin states were California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Mexico, and Utah. If you are relocating to Anthem Arizona Real Estate from California, you are trading property tax reassessment on every move and coastal price-per-square-foot multiples for a $615,000 median list, $267 per square foot, and 22,584 neighbors. If you are relocating from Washington or Illinois, the number that matters is Arizona’s 2.5% flat income tax. Out-of-state buyers lose the most money in Anthem because they cannot see the streets… the I-17 line that decides whether Phoenix Police or the Maricopa County Sheriff patrols your block, the 85086-versus-85087 split that moves value by six figures, and the New River wash that separates Arroyo Grande from the core.

How are Anthem Arizona Real Estate prices and volume trending in August 2026?
The combined Anthem Arizona Real Estate market is showing a $615,000 median list price, while the most recent complete closed-sale cut came in at $519,689, down 9.1% year-over-year. That $95,311 spread between list and closed medians reflects two things at once: the negotiation gap in a buyer-leaning market, and the gravitational pull of the Anthem Country Club luxury tier on the list side. For a typical Anthem Arizona Real Estate buyer or seller, the closed-sale median is the more honest anchor… list prices tell you what sellers want, closed sales tell you what buyers are paying.
Days on market across the combined Anthem Arizona Real Estate market compressed to a median of 80 in July, down from a 99-day full-period median in June and down 14% year-over-year. The compression is real demand, not a measurement artifact… homes that price to the closed-sale data are moving faster than they did last summer. The longer DOM on the 85087 side is not a sign of weak demand. It reflects a smaller buyer pool committing at higher price points on the larger-lot west side, combined with the geographic confusion caused by certain Anthem West homes being listed in MLS under Phoenix or New River. Sale-to-list ratios across both zips are running near 97%. Hot, well-priced listings in either zip code are still going pending in 30 to 48 days.
Anthem Arizona Real Estate inventory dropped another 4.5% month-over-month, from 132 active listings in July to 126 in August… the fourth consecutive monthly contraction (147 in May, 140 in June, 132 in July, 126 now). The pattern is consistent with the typical Anthem Arizona Real Estate summer rhythm: well-priced listings absorbing into pending status faster than new listings hit the market. Buyers who waited through spring expecting a softer summer are now competing against a smaller selection. Sellers who priced sharp in June and July are closing.
How do Anthem homes for sale differ between 85086 and 85087?
If you do nothing else with this report, internalize this section. Anthem Arizona Real Estate continues to tell two different stories across its two zip codes in August 2026, and any agent quoting you a blended Anthem Arizona Real Estate number is not giving you usable data for your specific decision. Listings in 85086 and listings in 85087 trade at different price points, on different timelines, with different competition dynamics.
- 85086 (Anthem Parkside + Anthem Country Club): Year-over-year sale-price softness of 9.1% per the most recent closed data. Price per square foot has compressed to $257 on closed sales. Inventory remains elevated relative to the historic 85086 baseline, monthly closings run in the mid-20s, and the segment is buyer-favorable. The correction is a normalization from the 2021 to 2023 spike, not a structural break. Anthem Country Club golf-frontage homes still command premium pricing from the mid-$500Ks to well over $1 million.
- 85087 (Anthem West): List medians across the broader zip are holding in the high $600Ks ($679,000 on current zip-wide actives), and the segment continues to hold firmer than 85086 against 12-month comps. Price per square foot remains near $295 on the west side. Monthly closings in the high 30s stay well above the 85086 volume despite longer days on market. Certain Anthem West listings show up in MLS under Phoenix or New River addresses, which underrepresents true 85087 activity in aggregated reports.
- The narrowing spread: The spring 2026 Anthem Arizona Real Estate gap of $100,000+ between the two medians narrowed sharply in June and remains compressed in July. Two months in, the market is not converging structurally… this remains short-term mix shift driven by which segments listed and closed. If you are buying in either zip in August 2026, the narrowing should not be interpreted as a directional reversal in either market. This is the third cut on the compressed spread: list medians bounced to $615,000 combined while closed medians held near $519,689, which says the mix is re-weighting toward the pricier segments rather than either zip repricing upward.
What are the best neighborhoods for Anthem homes for sale?
Anthem is structured as three official sub-associations under the Anthem Community Council umbrella… Anthem Parkside (the largest area, with multiple sub-neighborhoods), Anthem Country Club (the gated golf community), and the Village at Anthem (condominiums). Anthem West sits across Interstate 17 with its own framework. Every neighborhood named in this Anthem Arizona Real Estate guide has been verified against current MLS-published Anthem addresses, master-developer documentation, and the Anthem Community Council subdivision map.

The Anthem Community Council and the three sub-associations (Parkside HOA, Anthem Country Club Community Association, Village HOA) maintain the official subdivision map. Smaller named pockets exist inside Parkside and Anthem West (Jubilation, Inspiration, and the individual builder phases), but they fall under the parent HOAs listed above for transaction purposes.

Anthem sits within Maricopa County… at the northern edge of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, in the site’s North Valley region. Buyers comparing Anthem Arizona Real Estate typically also evaluate New River directly to the north, Cave Creek and Carefree to the east, and the wider Phoenix Metro corridor to the south down I-17.

▶Maricopa County Real Estate Guide◀What schools serve Anthem Arizona Real Estate?
Schools are one of the strongest tailwinds for Anthem Arizona Real Estate. Anthem is served by Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD) for both K-8 and 9-12. Per the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades release (April 15, 2026), Deer Valley Unified earned an A grade at the district (LEA) level across 41 schools. DVUSD is one of the strongest unified districts serving the North Valley, and the schools assigned to Anthem are among the highest-rated within it. On the charter side, Anthem Arizona Real Estate buyers have multiple options. Anthem Preparatory Academy (Great Hearts) earned an A in the FY25 release. BASIS Phoenix North opened in 2024 and moved into the former Caurus Academy MS/HS campus at 44111 N 43rd Ave for the 2025-26 school year as it expands to a full K-12 program. BASIS does not yet have an ADE FY25 grade at the Phoenix North campus (the school is too new for the reporting window), but the BASIS Charter Schools network operates 22 other Arizona campuses with A LEA grades at nearly every one. Caurus Academy still operates from a consolidated K-12 campus following the BASIS lease.

The broader DVUSD high school portfolio (Mountain Ridge, Sandra Day O’Connor, Deer Valley) is also A-rated and accessible via open enrollment for families willing to drive south on I-17.

Is Anthem Arizona Real Estate in a safe neighborhood?
Safety is a meaningful pricing input for Anthem Arizona Real Estate. Anthem Arizona Real Estate sits in one of the safer master-planned communities in the North Valley. Per CrimeGrade and AreaVibes, the unincorporated CDP grades in the B range overall and ranks favorably against statewide averages for both violent and property crime risk. Anthem’s master-planned design, gated Country Club section, active Anthem Community Council, and visible patrol presence all contribute to consistently low crime stats relative to surrounding Phoenix-area submarkets.
Law Enforcement Jurisdiction in Anthem
Anthem is policed under a dual-jurisdiction framework that Anthem Arizona Real Estate buyers and sellers should understand. Anthem is unincorporated, so primary patrol for homes east of Interstate 17 is provided by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, District 4, headquartered at 11355 W Buckeye Road, Avondale, AZ 85323 (the MCSO district with North Valley coverage). Homes west of I-17 (much of Anthem Parkside West and the Outlets at Anthem area) sit inside Phoenix city limits and are policed by the City of Phoenix Police Department, Black Mountain Precinct, headquartered at 33355 N Cave Creek Road, Cave Creek, AZ 85331. The Arizona Department of Public Safety holds primary enforcement on Interstate 17 itself, the main highway corridor running through the community. The Daisy Mountain Fire Department provides fire and EMS service for the unincorporated portion of Anthem east of I-17, while the City of Phoenix Fire Department covers the west side. This multi-agency overlap is normal for unincorporated CDPs that straddle municipal boundaries and ensures fast response times across the geographic edges of the community.
Anthem Safety Snapshot
Safety metrics blend CrimeGrade and AreaVibes data for the Anthem CDP across both zip codes. Anthem outperforms the broader Phoenix metro on most violent and property crime indices.
At the subdivision level, Anthem Country Club’s gated, guard-attended entry and 24/7 security framework produce the lowest reported incident rates inside Anthem. Parkside East and Parkside West both report meaningfully lower property crime than the Phoenix metro average. The Outlets at Anthem and the I-17 commercial corridor generate the bulk of reported retail and traffic incidents in 85086. Anthem Arizona Real Estate buyers focused on safety as a primary factor typically find Country Club, The Landings, and Circle Mountain Ranch among the lowest-incident pockets, but no Anthem subdivision underperforms the broader Phoenix metro on the primary CrimeGrade indices.
Who are the major employers driving Anthem Arizona Real Estate demand?
Employment proximity is the second major tailwind for Anthem Arizona Real Estate in 2026. The Anthem commute reality is anchored by Interstate 17. Residents head south to the rapidly expanding TSMC semiconductor campus, the HonorHealth Deer Valley medical corridor, the Norterra and Happy Valley business districts, and downtown Phoenix. The TSMC build-out has fundamentally repriced North Valley demand over the past 24 months and continues to pull both ends of the wage spectrum into the Anthem Arizona Real Estate buyer pool.
Top employers within commuting distance
TSMC’s $165 billion North Phoenix semiconductor investment is the single most important employer-driven price input in the Anthem Arizona Real Estate market right now. The first fab is operational, the second is ramping, and the third has been announced. Each phase pulls thousands of high-income engineers and supplier-ecosystem employees into the I-17 commute zone. Anthem (12 to 18 minutes north of the campus) and Anthem West (10 to 15 minutes) are well inside the practical drive radius, which is part of why 85087 has continued to appreciate even while 85086 normalizes. Buyers who work for TSMC or its suppliers should weigh the practical commute against Anthem Arizona Real Estate’s lower price per square foot relative to closer-in Phoenix submarkets.
Where do I find Anthem AZ condos for sale?
Attached options are the most affordable entry point into Anthem Arizona Real Estate. Anthem AZ condos for sale are concentrated in two verified communities… the Village at Anthem (the original Del Webb condo community in the heart of Parkside) and Serenity Villas at Anthem (a smaller, more recent attached community). Combined, active condo inventory runs from a verified $264,999 market-low entry in the Village to the mid-$400Ks in Serenity Villas. Anthem Arizona Real Estate is a single-family-dominant market, so attached options are limited and the well-priced Anthem AZ condos for sale in the Village still move within 30 to 60 days.

HOA reserves, Anthem Arizona Real Estate master-association overlays (Anthem Community Council + sub-association + condo HOA), and lender approval status of each project all affect financing and resale.
What buyers should know about Anthem Country Club real estate
Anthem Country Club real estate is the gated, guard-attended luxury anchor of the entire Anthem Arizona Real Estate master plan. It consists of 2,866 single-story Del Webb homes built between 1999 and 2006, surrounding two 18-hole golf courses (Persimmon and Ironwood). Unlike most resort-style golf communities, Anthem Country Club is not age-restricted, which broadens the buyer pool beyond traditional 55-plus retirement markets.
Country Club resale pricing in August 2026 runs from $525,000 for entry-level Del Webb floor plans to a verified $1,775,000 top active listing for upgraded homes with golf-course frontage and panoramic mountain views. The single-story design across the entire community is a structural advantage for retiree buyers and snowbirds, and a constraint for families wanting two-story floor plans. The Anthem Country Club Community Association (ACCCA) manages the gates, roads, and design guidelines; the golf clubs are operated separately by Invited Clubs, with optional social and golf memberships that residents can elect into. Within Anthem Arizona Real Estate, the Country Club tier sets the price ceiling.
Country Club has its own off-market flow. A meaningful share of Country Club transactions never list publicly… they move through agent referrals, neighborhood relationships, and seller-to-seller introductions inside the gates. Buyers serious about Country Club should work with a dedicated full-time specialist who has active relationships inside the community, not a general Phoenix agent quoting Country Club as if it were the same market as Parkside.
Off-market access in Anthem with a dedicated realty specialist
We specialize in off-market Anthem homes, condos, villas, townhomes, businesses, and commercial properties. Active clients get notified within 60 seconds when off-market inventory surfaces through our private broker relationships. Not a subscription list. Not an email drip. A dedicated human working this market every day. In a community where the guard gate at Anthem Country Club keeps a meaningful share of transactions off the public record entirely, the difference between seeing that inventory and refreshing the national portals at midnight is the difference between buying the golf-frontage lot and reading about it after it closes. Off-market flow is where Anthem Arizona Real Estate strategy is actually won.
Why a dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Anthem, and not whoever answered the phone first? Because you get access to off-market homes, condos, businesses, and commercial real estate that never reach the national portals. A part-time agent working weekends does not have those broker relationships. That is the entire difference, and it is worth six figures on the wrong Anthem Arizona Real Estate purchase. Ask any agent for their closed transaction count in Anthem over the last 12 months. If they cannot answer in one sentence, you have your answer.

What do Anthem residents actually say about living here?
Themes below summarize repeated patterns from public Anthem Arizona Real Estate community reviews. Anonymized composites only.
“The amenities alone justify the HOA. The Community Park, Big Splash, the dog park, and the trail network give our kids something to do every weekend without ever leaving the gates. We moved from California and the cost per amenity is unreal compared to where we came from.”
“Country Club fits exactly what we wanted in retirement. Two golf courses, a gate, single-level homes, and we still have full access to the Parkside amenities for the grandkids when they visit. It was the only community we toured that ticked every box on the first walkthrough.”
“Living west of I-17 felt risky on paper, but the schools and the commute to the TSMC campus make it the right call. We get a bigger lot, lower price per square foot, and we’re 12 minutes from work. Everyone said Anthem West was too far and they were wrong.”
“What surprised me is how self-contained Anthem feels. Outlets, Walmart, Safeway, medical, restaurants, schools, two highway-grade access points… we run the entire week without driving south of the Carefree Highway exit. It was the deciding factor over Cave Creek for us.”
Why Anthem Arizona Real Estate Matters in 2026
Anthem is one of the rare master-planned communities in the North Valley that combines built-out amenities, A-rated Deer Valley Unified schools, two distinct zip-code submarkets, and direct I-17 access to the largest semiconductor capital investment in U.S. history. Buyers and sellers who treat Anthem Arizona Real Estate as a single market miss the entire investment thesis.
Key drivers supporting Anthem Arizona Real Estate include:
- TSMC North Phoenix proximity… 12 to 18 minutes south on I-17 to the largest U.S. semiconductor manufacturing investment ever made. Phase 2 ramping; Phase 3 announced. Anthem absorbs both the engineer-class and supplier-ecosystem demand.
- Deer Valley Unified A-rated district… District LEA grade of A per ADE FY25 across 41 schools, with two A-graded K-8s (Anthem School, Diamond Canyon) and an A-graded home high school (Boulder Creek) inside the community itself.
- Two zip-code arbitrage… 85086 normalizing while 85087 holds. The $100,000 spread between the medians earlier this year creates real strategy options for buyers and sellers willing to specify zip code in their decision.
- Anthem Arizona Real Estate amenity base… Community Park, Big Splash Water Park, Community Center, trail network, Daisy Mountain hiking, and Anthem Civic Building. No equivalent amenity build-out exists at this price point in the North Valley.
- Anthem Country Club real estate lifestyle anchor… Gated, guard-attended Del Webb community with two 18-hole golf courses, no age restriction, and a deep retiree and snowbird buyer pool that sets a price floor in 85086.
- Resort retail in-community… Outlets at Anthem, Walmart, Safeway, medical, restaurants, and the I-17 corridor mean Anthem Arizona Real Estate residents rarely drive south for daily needs.
- Geographic protection… Bordered by New River CDP and open desert preserve on three sides; 36% of Anthem Arizona Real Estate land is preserved open space, structurally constraining resale supply.
- Dual highway access… Two I-17 interchanges (Anthem Way and Daisy Mountain Drive) plus quick connection to State Route 74 to Cave Creek and Carefree. Anthem Arizona Real Estate has redundancy few North Valley submarkets can match.
Anthem Arizona Real Estate is a strategic long-term demand market, not a speculative one. The TSMC capital investment is the single largest North Valley demand input in the next decade, and Anthem sits squarely inside the commute radius at a price per square foot that still undercuts comparable closer-in Phoenix submarkets. If you are buying, the zip-code spread gives you a strategy lever. If you are selling, the data argues for zip-specific positioning instead of blended Anthem comps.
August 2026… Anthem Arizona Real Estate Buyer & Seller Takeaways
- Anthem Arizona Real Estate Buyers: 85086 stays buyer-favorable with sale prices down 9.1% YoY and 126 active listings to choose from. Median DOM compressed to 80 days, so move on well-priced listings within the first two weeks. Hot homes still pend in 30 to 48 days.
- Anthem Arizona Real Estate Sellers: Specify your zip code in every conversation, every photo description, and every listing remark. 85087 sellers are leaving money on the table when listings say “Phoenix” or “New River” instead of “Anthem West.” Pricing 1 to 3% under recent comps in 85086 still produces the cleanest, fastest closings.
- Anthem Country Club: Resale luxury at the top of the Anthem stack. Golf-frontage and view homes from $675,000 to a verified $1,775,000 top active. Strong retiree and snowbird buyer pool. Plan for the seasonal demand curve… peak interest October through April.
- Anthem West (85087): Holding firmer than 85086 against 12-month comps. Larger lots, lower price per square foot, direct TSMC commute. Verify MLS listings are labeled “Anthem” not “Phoenix” or “New River” before accepting any pricing analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
The combined Anthem Arizona Real Estate median list price in August 2026 is $615,000, up 1.8% month-over-month. The most recent complete closed-sale median came in at $519,689, down 9.1% year-over-year… a $95,311 gap below asking. Anthem 85086 (Parkside and Country Club) carries most of that softness, while Anthem West 85087 continues to hold firmer against 12-month comps. Median days on market compressed to 80, down 14% year-over-year.
Anthem in August 2026 is bifurcated. The 85086 side (Parkside and Country Club) is buyer-favorable with 126 active listings, a 9.1% year-over-year sale-price softness, and elevated months of supply. The 85087 side (Anthem West) is balanced to mildly seller-favorable on volume, but the listing-to-Phoenix-or-New-River mislabeling problem keeps buyer competition lower than it would be otherwise. Sale-to-list ratio across both zips is running near 97%, meaning sellers are accepting modest negotiation room.
Three-bedroom homes in Anthem Arizona Real Estate in August 2026 list from a verified $399,000 in Anthem Parkside entry-level plans to $725,000 for upgraded Country Club ranch-style three-bedrooms. The Landings and Paseo sub-neighborhoods of Parkside East deliver the most three-bedroom inventory in the $455,000 to $625,000 range. Anthem Country Club three-bedrooms with golf-course frontage carry a $50,000 to $150,000 premium over comparable non-frontage plans.
Four-bedroom homes in Anthem Arizona Real Estate in August 2026 list from $565,000 in Anthem Parkside two-story plans to $1.1 million in Circle Mountain Ranch and Anthem West. Anthem Country Club four-bedrooms range from $750,000 to $1.4 million depending on golf-course frontage, view exposure, and casita configuration. The single-story Country Club four-bedrooms with view lots are the most demand-constrained inventory in the entire community.
Anthem AZ condos for sale are concentrated in two verified communities. The Village at Anthem (42424 N Gavilan Peak Parkway, Anthem AZ 85086) is the original Del Webb condominium core inside Parkside East. Serenity Villas at Anthem is the newer attached community within walking distance of the Anthem Community Center. Active Anthem AZ condos for sale run from a verified $264,999 entry to $475,000 top of range, with median list in the mid $300Ks. Inventory is limited; well-priced units in the Village still move within 30 to 60 days.
Anthem homes for sale increasingly transact before they reach the major public portals. Off-market and pre-MLS inventory in Anthem Country Club and Anthem West moves through agent networks, neighborhood referrals, and direct seller outreach. Working with a dedicated full-time Anthem realty specialist gives you access to Anthem homes for sale that never appear on the national portals. We monitor pending listings, neighborhood listings before they activate, and pre-market signals from sellers preparing to list within the next 30 to 90 days.
Anthem homes for sale priced correctly are getting multiple offers in August 2026, but the dynamic is segment-specific. Anthem Parkside ranch-style three-bedrooms priced at or below recent comps are seeing 2 to 4 offers within the first two weeks. Anthem Country Club golf-frontage homes priced sharp are competitive but less aggressively bid. Anthem West luxury homes are not seeing the same multiple-offer pressure because of the longer days on market and the smaller buyer pool at higher price points. Overpriced listings in either zip are sitting past 90 days.
Anthem Country Club real estate sits behind a guard-attended gate inside the larger Anthem master plan and operates under its own community association (ACCCA). All 2,866 homes are single-story, built by Del Webb between 1999 and 2006, and surround two 18-hole golf courses (Persimmon and Ironwood). Anthem Country Club real estate is a lifestyle community without age restriction, which broadens the buyer pool beyond traditional 55-plus retirement markets. Resale prices typically range from $525,000 to $1.8 million, with golf-course frontage and panoramic mountain views commanding the strongest premiums.
Anthem Country Club real estate and Trilogy at Vistancia in Peoria are the two leading non-age-restricted gated golf communities in the North Valley. Anthem Country Club homes are all single-story, average smaller than Trilogy floor plans, and trade at a slightly higher price per square foot due to the guard-gated framework and resort-style amenities. Trilogy at Vistancia offers newer construction, a larger range of floor plans including two-story options, and a longer commute to the TSMC North Phoenix campus. Buyers choosing between them typically weigh commute time, lot size, and the value of Anthem’s two-course golf access.
A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Anthem knows the zip-code split (85086 versus 85087), the three sub-association structure (Parkside, Country Club, Village), the boundary lines between Maricopa County Sheriff and Phoenix Police jurisdictions, the Deer Valley Unified school zone shifts, and the off-market inventory flow in Anthem Country Club. A general Phoenix agent quoting you a blended Anthem median is producing a number that accurately describes neither side of the community. Anthem realty work is fundamentally local; the agent you choose determines whether you get usable data or generic comps.
Yes. Off-market inventory in Anthem Country Club moves through Anthem realty agents with active neighborhood relationships, retiree-to-retiree seller referrals, and direct outreach to homeowners signaling a planned sale in 6 to 18 months. The guard-gated framework and tight community network mean a substantial share of Country Club transactions never list publicly. Buyers seeking specific golf-course frontage, view lots, or particular Del Webb floor plans benefit most from working with an Anthem realty agent who can match them to unlisted opportunities before they activate on MLS.
Anthem Arizona Real Estate is served by Deer Valley Unified School District (DVUSD), which earned an A district letter grade in the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F release. The five K-8 schools serving Anthem are Anthem School (A, 84.76 points), Diamond Canyon School (A, 84.06 points), Canyon Springs STEM Academy (B, 79.19 points), New River Elementary (B, 72.32 points), and Gavilan Peak School (B, 69.37 points). The home high school is Boulder Creek (A, 95.44 points, 10 of 10 graduation rate score). Charter options include Anthem Preparatory Academy (Great Hearts K-12, A grade) and BASIS Phoenix North, which opened in 2024 and now occupies the former Caurus Academy MS/HS campus as it expands to full K-12.
Anthem Arizona Real Estate sits in one of the safer master-planned communities in the North Valley. Per CrimeGrade and AreaVibes, the unincorporated CDP grades in the B range overall and ranks favorably against statewide averages for both violent and property crime risk. Anthem is policed under a dual-jurisdiction framework: Maricopa County Sheriff District 4 covers homes east of I-17, City of Phoenix Police Black Mountain Precinct covers homes west of I-17, and Arizona DPS handles Interstate 17 highway enforcement. The Daisy Mountain Fire Department provides fire and EMS for the unincorporated portion east of I-17.
Anthem is home to 22,584 residents per the 2020-2024 American Community Survey five-year estimates, down from 23,190 at the 2020 Census. That slight decline is the supply story for Anthem Arizona Real Estate in one number: the community is built out, no production builder is adding rooftops, and 36% of the land is preserved open space. Every home that sells in Anthem is a resale, which structurally constrains inventory… 126 active listings for a community of 22,584 people is why well-priced homes still pend in 30 to 48 days even in a correcting price environment.
Yes. Relocation is a core Anthem Arizona Real Estate specialty. Census migration data shows California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, and Illinois lead the inbound states, and Anthem’s mix of A-rated schools, the TSMC commute, and Anthem Country Club golf pulls from all five. A dedicated full-time agent/broker that specializes in Anthem tours homes for you on video, walks the specific street and lot before you fly out, and sends off-market inventory before it reaches the national portals… so you compete on local information instead of guessing from screenshots.

Coverage area: Anthem Arizona Real Estate across both Anthem zip codes (85086 and 85087), including Anthem Parkside East, Anthem Parkside West, Anthem Country Club, the Village at Anthem, Serenity Villas at Anthem, Paseo, The Landings, Arroyo Grande, Circle Mountain Ranch, and Anthem West.
Data sources: Monthly closed-sale and active-listing data is compiled from local sales records and verified across multiple area data sources before publication. Public records, builder sales centers, and Anthem Community Council subdivision documentation are used for new construction figures and address verification. School ratings are drawn from the Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F Letter Grades release (April 15, 2026), Niche, GreatSchools, and SchoolGrade, with ADE as the primary source. Crime data comes from CrimeGrade, AreaVibes, and FBI Uniform Crime Reports.
Update cadence: This Anthem Arizona Real Estate report is rebuilt the moment new market data is released each month, typically between the 7th and the 10th. The August 2026 Anthem Arizona Real Estate report reflects the July 2026 listing cut and the most recent complete closed-sale data available at publication. The share of active listings with a price reduction could not be verified for Anthem specifically this cycle and is omitted rather than estimated; the national July figure was 20.0% per the leading listing-industry monthly housing trends report. A verified 12-month monthly median series for Anthem is being assembled from the monthly report cadence and the rolling chart will publish once 12 verified consecutive months exist. Figures presented as ranges reflect normal mid-month variation across data sources, so you always see realistic numbers… not cherry-picked ones.

The best Anthem Arizona Real Estate opportunities often never reach the national websites. If you are a seller, a local listing specialist reaches out to discuss your goals and ensure your listing is correctly tagged with the right zip code in MLS.
