For 15 years, In&Out Magazine has been the definitive source of “Everything that’s going on” in and out of the community. We thank you, our readers, as well as the businesses that support the magazine through advertising, for that opportunity. But with little going on, and many businesses suspending or canceling their ads during the Covid-19 crisis, we are suspending publication of the magazine and web sites for the month of May. 


Arroyo Norte: New & Nestled into the Mountains

Arroyo Norte: New & Nestled into the Mountains

Adjacent to Anthem on the north side, east of I-17, Arroyo Norte offers the convenience of nearby shopping (including the Outlets at Anthem) but with lower HOA fees.

Community amenities include parks with playgrounds and an outdoor basketball court. There are stunning views of Daisy Mountain and Gavilan Peak, and easy access to hiking trails (Daisy Mountain’s peak is a popular quest).

Meritage Homes in the community are Energy Star Certified by the EPA. Efficiency measures include a well-sealed HVAC system, spray foam insulation, a weather-sensing irrigation system, CFL bulbs, low-E windows, low-flow faucets and low volatile organic compound (VOC) carpets and paint. Arroyo Norte is not part of Anthem, so residents do not have access to Anthem’s Community Center or pool (though some of the amenities can be accessed on a pay-as-you-go basis).

It’s a short drive to Fry’s Marketplace and a Safeway grocery that anchor two of several shopping plazas in Anthem. There is a Walmart nearby, and the Outlets at Anthem is populated by a range of brand-name stores. There are several restaurants and a full array of business services in town. Two other major shopping centers are just 20 minutes south. There are four regional parks for hiking, boating and other outdoor activities, all within a 30-minute drive. See our North Phoenix Map to get the big picture. Sky Harbor International Airport is about 40 miles to the south.

1-story and 2-story single-family homes, ranging from around 2,000 to more than 4,000 square feet. Some oversized lots.
