The 3,116-acre community is home to 24,000 residents and comprises seven square miles from Indian Bend Road north to Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road and east to Hayden Road.
About 60% of the community is residential and 18% commercial, with 2% is allocated for the HonorHealth campus, 2% for public schools, 14% for lakes and golf courses while 3% is city owned, said Adam Yaron, principal planner for the city’s Planning & Development Department.
