They say the best things come in small packages, which can certainly be said for these new luxury pocket communities that are popping up in the Valley’s more desirable zip codes. With only a few dozen homes each (or less), each high-end project offers intimacy, exclusivity and many of the bells and whistles found in their more populated counterparts.

An intimate enclave of just 44 semi-custom, luxury homes, The Villas at Baker Park offers exclusivity and endless amenities in the desirable 85018 zip code. “In many of the small communities that I have done, the residents develop great friendships and a high level of pride of ownership in their own home and the community,” says Richard Zacher, principal developer/builder with Empire Residential Communities. “With it being a gated community with an 8-ft. wall, the residents enjoy more serenity and security.” Plus, access to entertainment, dining, shopping and more is mere minutes away in Old Town Scottsdale, the Biltmore area, the Camelback Corridor, Downtown Phoenix, the airport and more.
