# of homes: Ahwatukee Foothills News / Blandford land presentation described ~1,200 single-family houses on the former ~373-acre State Trust Land parcel (plus multifamily messaging separately); gated neighborhoods and amenity buildout continue through 2026 — treat as planned buildout, not current inventory
Aug 2026: Pulte Homes actively selling Meadow / Cactus / Canyon collections from roughly the low-$600Ks (sales at 2312 W Saltsage Dr; quick move-ins with anticipated completions into late 2026); D.R. Horton Tradition Series now selling from ~$599,990 (~1,314–2,392 sq ft; single-family + duplex product; ~9 marketed homes on Horton’s community page). Blandford Homes remains tied to the broader land / phasing story — confirm any Blandford lot’s GC live before assuming coverage
Location: Pulte sales at 2312 W Saltsage Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85045; D.R. Horton inventory on W Satinwood Dr / S 26th Dr corridors in the same Ahwatukee gated masterplan (Chandler Blvd between ~19th and 27th Avenues)

Local statistics (approx.)

Service	Approx. drive	Nearest listed
Hospital	~9 mi	Banner Desert Medical Center (Mesa) / Dignity Health Chandler Regional Ahwatukee trips often also use Banner University Phoenix or Tempe St. Luke’s depending on network — confirm ER routing.
Grocery	~4 mi	Ahwatukee Foothills / Warner–Ray Rd grocery corridors (Fry’s, Safeway, and similar) On-site retail is limited while phases build; interim trips lean on established Ahwatukee centers.
Fire station	~4 mi	Phoenix Fire Department (Ahwatukee / South Mountain first-due stations vary by phase)

Approximate driving miles estimated from OpenStreetMap/Nominatim geocoding (straight-line distance × ~1.35). Recheck before relying on emergency-response planning.

Open in Google Maps — pin is approximate; confirm against builder site maps.

Public context: Upper Canyon is a classic multi-builder warranty trap: neighbors share gates and amenity maps, not ROC license files. Match Pulte Development Corporation (#79383) or D.R. Horton’s Arizona GCs (#64532 / #113105) to the packet on your lot. Early Ahwatukee News coverage also named Fulton in planning-era presentations — verify any non-Pulte / non-Horton seller live before relying on historic slides. Do not invent a Blandford ROC number; ask sales which legal GC will pull the permit and verify it on the ROC contractor search.

This is a curated research snapshot of actively marketed and reported Arizona new-home communities, not a complete inventory of every subdivision. Builder assignments, pricing, and lot counts change weekly. Amenity distances are approximate driving estimates from public map data — confirm with local emergency services, your realtor, and builder site maps. Home counts labeled “planned” or “entitled” are not guarantees of final buildout.

Century Complete / Richmond American / Starlight / KB Home / Homes by Towne brand pages are not substitute ROC entities — match the GC on your packet (Phoenix vs Tucson KB entities can differ; HBT project LLCs are not automatic ROC substitutes for #179975). Lennar multi-collection masterplans (e.g. Western Garden, Madera, Teravalis Premier / Summit, Saddleback Discovery / Horizon / Destiny, Ventana Ranch, Hawes Crossing) still use one Arizona GC file per packet match, but each closing keeps its own close/occupancy calendar.
