Verrado is a master-planned community located in the city of Buckeye, Arizona, approximately 25 miles (40 km) west of downtown Phoenix. The development, at the base of the White Tank Mountains, is the largest suburban community in Metropolitan Phoenix in which the concept of New Urbanism was utilized.[1] It is planned to contain over 14,000 dwelling units at full build out.[2] Verrado is a DMB Associates, Inc. development.

Neighborhoods
[edit]Verrado's townhouses and single-family residences radiate from the Main Street District.[4] The design of these neighborhoods was based on that of American neighborhoods of the early twentieth century, including those of nearby Phoenix's historic districts. Some homes feature garages that are accessed from a rear alley rather than from the street to provide for a more traditional street-scape. Neighborhood amenities include a community center, a swim park, a golf course, 78 community parks, a dog park, and 21 miles of paths and hiking trails.[5]
