Where Tramonto is
Tramonto sits in the far north part of Phoenix, in the area bounded by Cloud Road on the north, I-17 on the west and Sonoran Desert Drive on the south, with Carefree Highway giving access to the freeway. North Valley Parkway is the main road through the community. The I-17 exit at Carefree Highway is right there, which makes the commute south or a drive north toward Anthem easy.
The Phoenix Sonoran Preserve runs nearby, so a lot of homes have open desert and mountain views. Tramonto Marketplace is along North Valley Parkway, and a Fry's Marketplace is about a mile south on Dove Valley Road.
The homes
Tramonto has a wide mix. You will find close-set patio homes, hillside homes with views, townhomes and condos, and single-family homes up to custom estates, with some lots around an acre. Most homes were built in the 2000s and later. Builders that show up on listings here include Taylor Morrison, Standard Pacific, Toll Brothers and Courtland Homes, among others.
Because the community has so many product types, I don't compare a patio home with a hillside estate. I narrow the search by lot size, view, single-level or two-story, and whether a home is in a gated section, since some parts of Tramonto have gates and others don't. I am not aware of any builder selling brand-new homes inside Tramonto right now, so most buyers here are buying resale.
Things to do
- Tramonto East park: a pool, kiddie pool, spa, playground, grass area, sand volleyball, tennis courts and a full basketball court.
- Tramonto West park: a pool, kiddie pool and playground.
- Trails: walking trails run through the community, and hiking in the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve is close by.
- Shopping: Tramonto Marketplace is in the community, with the Outlets at Anthem to the north and the Shops at Norterra and Happy Valley Towne Center to the south.
Schools
Tramonto is in the Deer Valley Unified School District. Sunset Ridge School (K-8) is on North 33rd Lane in the community area, and Boulder Creek High School is the high school commonly listed. Boundaries can change, so please confirm school assignments with Deer Valley Unified for the specific address.
HOA basics
Tramonto has a master association, the Tramonto Community Master Association, which takes care of common areas and the parks. Some neighborhoods, such as condo parcels, have their own sub-association too, so some homes pay into two associations. Before you buy, ask which associations apply, and read the CC&Rs, rental rules and reserve study in the resale packet.
Buying in Tramonto
I compare each Tramonto home to recent sales of the same type in the same section. Views, lot size, the backyard setting and updates move value the most. I also look at the HOA layers and the age of the roof and air conditioning. If you want to ask about a lower-rate loan, see my assumable mortgage guide, and if you are new to Arizona, start with first steps to buying a home in Arizona.
Selling your Tramonto home
Buyers looking at Tramonto usually compare it with Sonoran Foothills, Anthem and Norterra. Good pricing explains what your home offers that those don't: a view lot, a larger yard, a gated street or recent updates. The growth of jobs in north Phoenix, including the TSMC campus off Dove Valley Road, keeps this area on many buyers' lists.
