Description
Supplements: Anthem is an unincorporated master planned community in north central Maricopa County. It was founded by Del Webb in 1999 and initially built out in 2008; a new development recently added 202 homes to the community. It was awarded "Best Master Planned Community" in 2001, named one of Phoenix Magazine's "Best Family Friendly Neighborhoods" in 2012 and awarded "Best Master Planned Community for Children" in 2016. Anthem is home to residential, commercial, office, industrial and public uses, making it unique as a master planned community. From award-winning parks to quality landscaping, sports programs for all ages to trails, golf courses and more, Anthem is home to more than 27,000 residents and nearly 300 store-front businesses. Anthem is called a "master planned community" because it is self-contained and self-sustaining, allowing residents to share common resources and contribute to the common good of the community and region. Del Webb's design philosophy can be seen in every detail of Anthem's design plan, from the width of streets to the type of landscaping options, high number of recreational amenities to pre-set purposes of commercial plazas. After initial buildout, governance of the community was turned over to an executive staff and homeowner-led Board to carry Del Webb's master plan forward.
