More homes are ready to be built in Peoria.
A vacant property bounded by Deer Valley Road and Lake Pleasant Parkway is ramping up construction for nearly 500 homes on 126 acres.
The land is part of the larger 359-acre Camino A Lago South Planned Area Development that was adopted by the Peoria City Council in 2005.
The property was acquired by D.R. Horton Homes through a State Land auction a few years ago.
For various reasons – including the impacts from the Great Recession – this plot of land remained vacant for a number of years.
