Neighborhood Guide
I assist buyers and sellers in Estrella, Goodyear, AZ. First thing buyers often ask is what is Estrella like to live in? I answer that before I share anything about buying or selling a home in Estrella.
Estrella is a large master planned community located west of Phoenix. It is divided into several villages, each with a unique vibe and HOA rules. If you're looking for a real estate agent near Estrella in Goodyear, AZ, here is what you need to know.
Gate access, HOA dues and school zones can vary between each village. Understanding the layout helps me guide home buyers through their tours of homes in Estrella. Contact me anytime for an up-to-date list of Estrella homes for sale or to schedule a tour of the villages.
Estrella Is Divided Into Multiple Villages
Estrella is not one community. It is made up of villages, each with their own vibe.
The Mountain Ranch, Lucero and Montecito villages are open to buyers of all ages. The CantaMia village is for active adults over the age of 55 only.
I ask all buyers about their age requirements before showing homes. It determines which villages we can tour.
Estrella Schools Are In Two Different Districts
Estrella is serviced by two separate school districts, and it surprises some buyers.
Liberty Elementary District is responsible for elementary school through middle school (kindergarten through 8th grade). High school students attend Estrella Foothills High School, which is in the Buckeye Union High School District.
I inform families of the school zones before we tour homes so you know the full picture before falling in love with a house.
Estrella Mountain Regional Park Borders Estrella
Estrella Mountain Regional Park is adjacent to Estrella and brings additional benefits to residents.
It is owned by Maricopa County, not Estrella. Estrella Mountain Regional Park offers expansive desert landscapes with miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails.
Estrella residents already enjoy hiking and biking trails in their neighborhood, and now they have an entire regional park to explore as well. This park is located just outside of the community, not within the community.
Grocery Stores And Restaurants In Estrella Save Time
Estrella contains a number of daily necessities. Residents don't have to travel far for basic errands.
The Mountain Ranch Marketplace and the Elliot Market are both located in Estrella. Shoppers can buy groceries, eat dinner and do retail shopping at these locations.
I make sure buyers know this if they value living close to amenities. It saves time once you move in.
Estrella HOA Fees Are Lower Than Most Communities
HOA fees in Estrella begin at approximately $125 per month. It's less than the average monthly HOA fee in most Goodyear master planned communities.
Your HOA fees go beyond basic landscaping and gate maintenance. There's also lake access, plus free kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, and sailboats. Some villages in Estrella have gated communities, which cost a little more than the others.
I explain the specific fees for each village to every buyer I work with. Know the real cost before you offer.
