Alamar is a newer master-planned community in southwest Avondale, ZIP 85323, entered at Avondale Boulevard and Broadway Road about 3.7 miles south of I-10, near the foothills of the Sierra Estrella. It has new single-family homes from several national builders, a 40-acre regional park with a lake, about 9.5 miles of trails and an elementary school inside the community.

Brookfield Residential is developing Alamar in partnership with the City of Avondale on land the Lakin family once farmed. Ground was broken in April 2019 and the grand opening was in October 2020. Builders are still selling here, so you can buy brand new or pick up a resale that is only a few years old. Here is what I want you to know before you tour.

Where it is

Alamar is in southwest Avondale, south of Lower Buckeye Road and north of the planned State Route 30 corridor. The main entry is at Avondale Boulevard and Broadway Road, about 3.7 miles south of I-10 and roughly 19 miles from downtown Phoenix. The Sierra Estrella mountains rise to the south and east.

Nearby landmarks include Phoenix Raceway and the Tres Rios wetlands along the Gila, Salt and Agua Fria rivers. Westgate in Glendale is a reasonable drive north for sports and entertainment. Inside Alamar, the plan includes a 16-acre commercial center at Avondale Boulevard and Broadway Road and a site for a fire station, both still to come. Until then, most shopping means a drive north toward I-10.

The homes

Alamar is all new single-family construction. The builders listed by the community are Brookfield Residential, Lennar, Pulte, Richmond American, Taylor Morrison and William Ryan Homes. Earlier phases also included Shea, Landsea, Gehan, Capital West and David Weekley. Brookfield's own neighborhoods, Highland Sage and Highland Ridge, opened in 2023.

Builders are still selling. Lennar's Alamar Discovery neighborhood is marked as actively selling as of October 2026. Because several builders work side by side, you can compare floor plans, lot sizes and included features in one drive, which makes Alamar a good place to learn what each builder offers.

Things to do

The 40-acre regional park is the centerpiece, with a lake, ball fields, basketball and tennis courts, a dog park and event space. Alamar also has three community parks, some with pools, more than 20 smaller neighborhood parks, about 9.5 miles of trails and a public art program. For bigger outings, Estrella Mountain Regional Park and the West Valley's sports venues are within a short drive.

Schools

Alamar is in the Littleton Elementary School District. Schools that come up for Alamar:

• Lakin Prep Academy, on Broadway Road inside Alamar; it opened in July 2023 serving kindergarten through grade 5, with grades 6 to 8 to be added based on demand
• High school: builder materials list La Joya Community High School (Tolleson Union) and Agua Fria High School (Agua Fria Union)

Because sources differ on the high school, please confirm the assigned schools for any address with the districts before you buy.

HOA basics

The master association is the Alamar Community Association, managed by Cohere. It takes care of the parks, trails, pools and common areas. Some builder neighborhoods may have their own added rules, so for any home I ask for the CC&Rs, the resale disclosure and the current fee schedule, and I read the rules on parking, rentals, solar and exterior changes with you before you make an offer.

Buying in Alamar

If you are buying new, bring your own agent on your very first visit to any sales office. The builder's sales team works for the builder, and many builders will not let you add an agent later. My guide to buying new construction with a buyer's agent explains how it works and what I watch for in builder contracts.

Resales here can be a smart option too. A home that is a few years old often comes with a finished yard and window coverings, and some recent buyers used FHA or VA loans that may be assumable. See my page on buying a home with an assumable mortgage in Arizona, and read the first steps to buying a home in Arizona if you are just starting.

Selling your Alamar home

When you sell in Alamar, the builders are your competition. Buyers will compare your home to a new one with a warranty, so price carefully and show what a new build would not include: a finished backyard, window coverings, upgrades you added and a move-in date that is not months away. My article on how to price your Arizona home to sell explains my approach, and I am happy to run a pricing review for your home.
