Following a 4-3 Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation of approval last month, the Apache Junction City Council reviewed a proposal April 7 to build 129 individually owned townhomes on nearly eight acres near the corner of South Acacia Road and East Southern Avenue. The project, called Acacia by Diamante Homes, would bring individually owned, platted homes to a site that has sat vacant for decades. A public hearing and vote are scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 2026.
The proposal calls for 129 townhomes, each with a two-car attached garage and a three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout. City planning staff described these as “individually platted, individual ownership homes for owner occupancy.”
The community would be gated and include on-site amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, pickleball court, a small park, and walkways and trail connections. The design draws on a traditional farmhouse aesthetic, described in project documents as recalling “the western character found throughout Apache Junction.” Three color schemes are proposed: red, green, and desert tan, with color used to distinguish neighborhoods within the development.
