2. SCENIC NEIGHBORHOODS
40+ parks, 50+ miles of trails, two large lakes, an 18-hole golf course, and stunning mountain views attract visitors and home buyers year-round.
3. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The local schools, HOA, and City of Goodyear offer numerous ways to get involved. The City has a committee working on a comprehensive, 10-year, long-range general plan. The public can get involved and voters will have the final say in May 2024.
4. BULK TRASH

7. SAFETY
The City of Goodyear has increased its number of patrols in the Estrella community. The overall crime rate is low. A newly constructed 2nd fire station in south Estrella helps improve response times.

Estrella’s water provider is the City of Goodyear which prioritizes safe drinking water, groundwater pumping, and a robust water portfolio.
9. FAMILY & RETIREMENT HOUSING OPTIONS
On your own? Raising a family? Ready to retire? Housing options for all people can be found in Estrella. Your HOA fees also cover use of residents’ clubs with fitness areas, pools and yummy dining options!
10. SMALL-TOWN CHARM WHILE MAINTAINING GROWTH
Goodyear, Arizona has a lot of room for growth. The city is about 11% built out. Here in Estrella Mountain Ranch, the northern part of the community has approximately 6,400 undeveloped acres. That land is anticipated to be developed by Estrella Partners with additional retail, parks, trails and up to 14,000 single and multi-family units.
Most important, though? The people we surround ourselves with. Having family and friends nearby makes this Top 10 list even more enjoyable.
Our family wishes you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season!
