Anthem Arizona Real Estate Market Report — May 2026
Anthem Arizona Real Estate in May 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 Anthem market is showing a median list price near $620,000, average days on market in the low 80s, and price per square foot near $284. Underneath that headline number, 85086 (Parkside and Country Club) is working through a clear price normalization, while 85087 (Anthem West) is moving the other direction with year-over-year appreciation. Anthem’s long-term demand is anchored by A-rated Deer Valley Unified schools, a 10 to 15 minute commute south on I-17 to TSMC’s $165 billion North Phoenix semiconductor campus, and resort-style amenities that no resale data alone can replicate.

Prices & Volume… May 2026
The combined Anthem Arizona Real Estate market is showing a median list price near $620,000 and an average list near $717,000. The spread between median and average reflects the gravitational pull of the Anthem Country Club luxury tier, where homes routinely list well above $1 million and pull the average up. For a typical Anthem buyer or seller, median is the more useful number… it filters out the distortion from the seven-figure segment.
Days on market across the combined Anthem market are running near 82 days, with 85086 closer to 70 to 74 days and 85087 closer to 98 to 106 days. The longer DOM in 85087 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 some Anthem West homes being listed in MLS under Phoenix or New River. Sale-to-list ratios are running near 97%, meaning most sellers are accepting modest negotiation room from asking price. Hot, well-priced homes in either zip code are still going pending in 33 to 52 days. Overpriced listings are sitting past 90 days and absorbing multiple price reductions before they move.
By Zip Code… Two Different Markets
If you do nothing else with this report, internalize this section. Anthem’s two zip codes are moving in opposite directions in May 2026, and any agent quoting you a blended Anthem number is not giving you usable data for your specific decision.
- 85086 (Anthem Parkside + Anthem Country Club): Median sale price is tracking in the upper $500Ks with year-over-year softness near 8%. Price per square foot has compressed to roughly $257. Inventory is elevated, monthly closings sit near 24, 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-$400Ks to well over $1 million.
- 85087 (Anthem West): Median sale price is tracking in the upper $600Ks with year-over-year appreciation near 5%. Price per square foot has expanded to roughly $299. Monthly closings near 43 are nearly double the 85086 volume despite longer days on market. Some Anthem West homes show up in MLS under Phoenix or New River addresses, which underrepresents true 85087 activity in aggregated reports.
- The $100,000 spread: The gap between the two Anthem medians is significant. Anyone telling you “Anthem is up” or “Anthem is down” without specifying the zip code is producing a blended number that accurately describes neither neighborhood. If you are buying in 85086, the correction has opened the door at price points roughly $50,000 below where comparable homes sold 18 months ago. If you are buying in 85087, you are buying into a rising market with extended DOM that creates legitimate negotiating room even as prices trend upward.
Anthem Neighborhoods & Subdivisions
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.

Anthem West
Predominantly single-family neighborhood west of I-17 in 85087. Larger lots than Parkside. Frequently mislabeled in MLS as Phoenix or New River, which distorts aggregated data. Sample: 44019 N 49th Dr ✅. The appreciating side of Anthem in 2026.
All addresses verified inside Anthem 85086 or 85087. 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 (such as Jubilation, Inspiration, and various builder phases), but they fall under the parent HOAs listed above for transaction purposes.
Anthem’s Neighboring Cities & Surrounding Markets
Anthem sits within Maricopa County… at the northern edge of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, in the site’s North Valley region. Buyers comparing Anthem 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. These are the published markets most relevant to an Anthem decision.

▶Maricopa County Real Estate Guide◀Schools & School Districts
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 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.
Deer Valley Unified District (K-8)… A-Rated District
Per ADE FY25 official data, the five K-8 schools serving the Anthem footprint are Anthem School (A, 84.76 points, 99.18% of points eligible), Diamond Canyon School (A, 84.06 points, 97.9% earned), Canyon Springs STEM Academy (B, 79.19 points, 83.69% earned), New River Elementary School (B, 72.32 points, 83.86% earned), and Gavilan Peak School (B, 69.37 points, 82.08% earned). Anthem School is the on-community K-8 inside Parkside East and posts the highest K-8 percentage earned of the cluster at 99.18% of points eligible. Diamond Canyon and Anthem School are the two ADE-graded A schools on the Anthem footprint. Boundary maps shift periodically; always verify your specific home’s school assignment with DVUSD before relying on enrollment.
Deer Valley Unified District (9-12)… A-Rated District
Boulder Creek High School is the home high school for Anthem and earned an A grade in the ADE FY25 release with 95.44 total points and a perfect 10 of 10 graduation rate score. Boulder Creek serves both Anthem zip codes and is located inside Parkside East. 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. Anthem Preparatory Academy (Great Hearts) operates as a K-12 charter alternative with an A grade at the school level.
Anthem School
Per ADE FY25 official data, Anthem School earned an A letter grade with 84.76 total points earned and 99.18% of points eligible… the highest K-8 percentage earned in the Anthem cluster. K-8 Growth score of 49.73 out of 50 reflects strong year-over-year student progress. On-community K-8 inside Parkside East.

Per ADE FY25 official data, Diamond Canyon earned an A letter grade with 84.06 total points and 97.9% of points eligible. K-8 Proficiency score of 27.77 out of 30 places it among the strongest K-8 schools in the Deer Valley footprint.

Per ADE FY25 official data, Gavilan Peak earned a B letter grade with 69.37 total points and 82.08% of points eligible. K-8 Proficiency score of 25.38 out of 30. Located near Daisy Mountain Drive and named for the peak that anchors the Anthem skyline. Serves the western portion of the Anthem K-8 footprint.
B Grade 69.37 Points K-8 DVUSDCharter Options: BASIS & Great Hearts
BASIS Phoenix North opened in 2024 and now occupies the former Caurus Academy MS/HS campus at 44111 N 43rd Ave, Anthem 85087, as it expands toward full K-12. The campus is too new for an ADE FY25 grade, but the BASIS network operates 22 other AZ campuses with predominantly A LEA grades. Anthem Preparatory Academy (Great Hearts K-12, classical curriculum) earned an A in FY25 with 87.80 HS points and 105.56% of points eligible.
BASIS K-12 Great Hearts A Charter ChoiceBoundary verification: home assignment to a specific Anthem-area school depends on your exact property address, not just the zip code or the subdivision name. Verify school zone with Deer Valley Unified before relying on enrollment as a buying or selling factor. Open enrollment within DVUSD is available subject to space and remains a common path for families targeting a non-home Anthem-cluster school.

Safety & Crime in Anthem
Safety is a meaningful pricing input for Anthem Arizona Real Estate. Anthem is one of the safer 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 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. 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.
Major Employers & Commute
Employment proximity is the second major tailwind for Anthem Arizona Real Estate in 2026. Anthem’s 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 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 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’s lower price per square foot relative to closer-in Phoenix submarkets.
Condos & Townhomes… May 2026
Attached options are the most affordable entry point into Anthem Arizona Real Estate. Anthem’s attached housing inventory is concentrated in two 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, attached active listings typically run from roughly $280,000 entry to the mid-$400Ks. Anthem is a single-family-dominant market, so attached options are limited and the well-priced units in the Village still move within 30 to 60 days.

Active Condo & Townhome Communities (Verified)
- The Village at Anthem: 42424 N Gavilan Peak Parkway, Anthem, AZ 85086 ✅. Original Del Webb condominium community in Parkside East, walking distance to the Community Center, Big Splash Water Park, and Anthem Community Park. 2-bed and 2-bath floor plans in the 1,100 to 1,400 sq ft range. Active list pricing typically $280,000 to $380,000.
- Serenity Villas at Anthem: Parkside East attached community within walking distance to the Anthem Community Center ✅. Newer construction than the Village. Limited inventory, with listings clearing quickly when well-priced. Active list pricing typically $350,000 to $475,000.
Anthem buyers considering an attached purchase should review the Arizona Condo Buyer Guide before writing an offer. HOA reserves, master-association overlays (Anthem Community Council + sub-association + condo HOA), and lender approval status of each project all affect financing and resale.
What Anthem Residents Say
The themes below summarize repeated patterns from public Anthem community reviews. We do not fabricate quotes… these are anonymized composites of what residents consistently say about life inside the master plan.
“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 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 appreciates. The $100,000 spread between the medians creates real strategy options for buyers and sellers willing to specify zip code in their decision.
- Built-out amenity base… Community Park, Big Splash Water Park, Community Center with gym and aerobics rooms, miles of trails, pocket parks, Daisy Mountain hiking, and the Anthem Civic Building. No equivalent build-out exists at Anthem’s price point in the North Valley.
- Anthem Country Club lifestyle anchor… Gated, guard-attended Del Webb community with two 18-hole golf courses (Persimmon and Ironwood), no age restriction, and a deep retiree + snowbird buyer pool that sets a price floor in 85086.
- Resort retail in-community… Outlets at Anthem, Walmart, Safeway, medical offices, restaurants, and the I-17 commercial corridor mean residents rarely need to drive south for daily needs.
- Geographic protection… Bordered by the New River CDP and open desert preserve on three sides, with 36% of the community itself preserved as open space. Limited room for new tract-building inside Anthem keeps resale supply structurally constrained.
- Elevation advantage… Average elevation of 1,863 feet (Daisy Mountain rising to 2,428) keeps Anthem several degrees cooler than central Phoenix in summer and produces higher rainfall. A small lifestyle differential that compounds across 30-plus 100-degree summer days.
- Dual highway access… Two I-17 interchanges (Anthem Way and Daisy Mountain Drive) plus quick connection to State Route 74 (Carefree Highway) eastbound to Cave Creek and Carefree. Few North Valley submarkets have this redundancy.
- Self-contained planned-community status… One nonprofit Anthem Community Council and three sub-associations manage common areas, design standards, and amenities. The governance structure is mature, transparent, and a meaningful factor for buyers comparing Anthem against newer planned communities still finding their footing.
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.
May 2026… Anthem Buyer & Seller Takeaways
- Buyers: 85086 is buyer-favorable with prices down 8% YoY and 147 active listings to choose from. Country Club golf-frontage homes are negotiable at price points 5 to 8% below 2024 levels. Move on well-priced listings within the first two weeks… hot homes still pend in 33 to 52 days.
- 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.
- Country Club: Resale luxury at the top of the Anthem stack. Golf-frontage and view homes from $675,000 to $1.8M+. Strong retiree and snowbird buyer pool. Plan around the seasonal demand curve… peak interest October through April.
- Anthem West (85087): The appreciating side. Up 5% YoY, longer DOM creating real negotiation room, larger lots, and direct TSMC commute. Verify MLS listings are labeled “Anthem” not “Phoenix” or “New River” before accepting any pricing analysis.
- Schools-driven buyers: Anthem School (A) and Diamond Canyon (A) are the strongest K-8 boundaries in the community. Boulder Creek HS (A, 95.44 points) anchors high school. Verify boundary with DVUSD before relying on enrollment.
- TSMC commuters: Anthem West (10 to 15 min) and Anthem proper (12 to 18 min) are inside the practical drive radius. Locking in now at sub-$300/sqft in either zip code beats waiting for the second and third TSMC fabs to fully ramp.
Frequently Asked Questions
The combined Anthem median list price in May 2026 is approximately $620,000, up 1.2% month-over-month. Anthem 85086 (Parkside and Country Club) is tracking in the upper $500Ks with roughly 8% year-over-year softness, while Anthem West 85087 is tracking in the upper $600Ks with roughly 5% year-over-year appreciation. Zip code matters more than the headline number.
Anthem is one of the safer planned communities in the North Valley. Per CrimeGrade and AreaVibes, the unincorporated CDP grades in the B range and ranks favorably against statewide averages for both violent and property crime risk. Anthem is policed under a dual-jurisdiction framework, with MCSO District 4 covering east of I-17, City of Phoenix Police Black Mountain Precinct covering west of I-17, and Arizona DPS handling Interstate 17.
Anthem is served by Deer Valley Unified School District (A district grade per ADE FY25). The five K-8 schools serving Anthem are Anthem School (A, 84.76 points), Diamond Canyon (A, 84.06 points), Canyon Springs STEM Academy (B, 79.19 points), New River Elementary (B, 72.32 points), and Gavilan Peak (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 the new BASIS Phoenix North, which opened in 2024 and now occupies the former Caurus Academy MS/HS campus as it expands to full K-12 (too new for an FY25 grade, but the BASIS network is overwhelmingly A-rated statewide).
Anthem covers two zip codes. 85086 includes Anthem Parkside (East and West), Anthem Country Club, and the Village at Anthem condominiums. 85087 covers Anthem West, west of Interstate 17. Some 85087 homes are mailed under New River or Phoenix addresses, which makes zip-code-specific market analysis essential before any buying or selling decision.
Anthem itself is essentially built out. The Del Webb master plan completed primary phases between 1999 and 2006, and Circle Mountain Ranch (the most recent organized new construction phase by Pulte and Lennar) finished build-out by the end of 2020. Most new inventory in Anthem today is resale. Buyers looking for true new construction within commuting distance should look at the broader North Valley corridor, including portions of north Phoenix (85085) and the Norterra area. Read the Arizona New Construction Buyer Guide before visiting any model home.
Anthem residents commute primarily to TSMC’s $165 billion semiconductor campus in north Phoenix (12 to 18 minutes south on I-17), HonorHealth Deer Valley Medical Center, Banner Health, Mayo Clinic Phoenix, USAA Norterra, American Express Desert Ridge, Honeywell Aerospace, Deer Valley Airport, Outlets at Anthem (in-community), and Sky Harbor International Airport (about 35 to 45 minutes). The TSMC campus and its supplier ecosystem have become the dominant North Valley demand driver.
Anthem attached inventory is concentrated in the Village at Anthem (the original Del Webb condo community) and Serenity Villas at Anthem. Active condo and townhome listings typically run from approximately $280,000 to $475,000, with median list pricing near $375,000 and price per square foot in the $272 to $320 range. Inventory is limited, and well-priced units in the Village still move within 30 to 60 days.
Anthem combines a built-out Del Webb master plan, A-rated Deer Valley Unified schools, the resort-style Anthem Community Park and Big Splash Water Park, dual gated and non-gated options, and direct I-17 access to the TSMC north Phoenix semiconductor campus. The community absorbs demand from California relocations, semiconductor employees, retirees buying into Anthem Country Club, and Phoenix-area families seeking a self-contained, amenity-rich planned community 30 miles from downtown.

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 report is rebuilt the moment new market data is released each month, typically between the 7th and the 10th. Reported figures reflect the most recent complete monthly cut available at publication. Figures presented as ranges reflect normal mid-month variation across data sources, so you always see realistic numbers… not cherry-picked ones.
Author: Compiled by Arizona Homes and Condos Realty. We intentionally do not list properties on this site… Arizona’s market changes too fast for static listing pages to remain accurate.
Here is what actually happens when you reach out. If you are a buyer, a dedicated full-time agent who specializes in Anthem and the North Valley starts working on your behalf immediately… researching both on-market AND off-market opportunities. Today’s Anthem market moves so quickly that many of the best properties never reach the national websites at all, especially in Country Club and Anthem West. You need someone with local relationships pulling for you.
If you are a seller, a local dedicated full-time listing agent reaches out personally to discuss your goals, your timeline, and the details of your property… so we can position you for the strongest possible outcome and make absolutely certain your listing is correctly tagged “Anthem” (and the right zip code) in MLS.
