Master-planned communities are giving Estrella Village a fresh look

Located on the outskirts of downtown Phoenix, Estrella Village is known as a commercial and industrial center — but it’s ready for a major residential boom. A wealth of undeveloped land has been the focal point for both new master-planned and expanding existing communities.

A blend of architectural styles can be found along the winding roads

Long, winding roads dotted with homes lend each subdivision a sparse feeling. Architectural styles range from classic ranchers and bungalows to newer builds and Santa Barbara Tuscan houses, with prices for single-family homes ranging from $160,000 to $440,000. Apartment buildings can also be found throughout the community. Homes on the southwestern end of Estrella Village are primarily new builds in the Alamar master-planned community. Along with a variety of home styles, this community features Alamar Park, a sprawling 40 acres with walking trails, a splash pad, a fishing lake and athletic fields.

Older-style ranch homes can be found throughout the Estrella Village neighborhood.

Major highways allow access to the greater Phoenix area

Residents have an easy commute to downtown or other destinations in the valley, with Interstate 10 on Estrella Village’s northern border and Interstate 17 to the east. If you are planning to travel by air, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is about 15 miles away.

East Estrella Village has supermarkets and authentic dining

Daily essentials can be found at major retailers such as Walmart Supercenter, found in the Tuscano Towne Center, and Target. Residents can also pick up groceries and pharmacy items at Fry’s Food Stores or head to the east side of Estrella Village for Food City Supermarket. Though there are many fast-food choices if you’re on the go, there are just as many local spots, such as Taqueria El Fundador and Bertha’s Restaurant, that offer authentic Mexican fare.

Recreation options range from Planet Fitness to Coldwater Golf Club

On the western border of the neighborhood is Festival Fields Park. Nestled against the Agua Fria River, this park has softball and little league baseball fields as well as pickleball and basketball courts. Bring your four-legged friend to the dog run or stretch your legs on the walking trails.

Sneak in a workout at Planet Fitness or visit Coldwater Golf Club for a championship-length 18-hole course with scenic mountain views. This course provides a challenge for golf enthusiasts at any skill level, with elevated tees and two lakes.

Seasonal events bring flair to Estrella Village throughout the year

The Avondale Civic Center complex is home to yearly and recurring events. Civic Center Drive is filled with synchronized festive lights and a Christmas tree that displays throughout the winter season. The light show kicks off with the Avondale WinterFest, which features activities, a train ride and a visit from Santa.

Bring an empty stomach to the That’s My Jam Festival, where barbecue food trucks, live bands and vendors selling homemade jam compete for top billing. The festival also features a splash pad, a kid’s corner and sack races.

Each year, hundreds of cyclists gather in Avondale for Cycle Avondale, the 31-mile scenic bicycle tour of the neighborhood with views of the Sierra Estrella mountains.

Fun place, lots of decent people, not very diverse, very clean with lots of various facilities. The schools aren't that great and lack much flexibility as a whole. Very few accidents or dangerous situations that I know of. Not much going on at night. A lot of families and children of varying ages. Very quick and easy to get around. Decent amount of stores and shops around.
