SAHUARITA, Ariz. (December 2, 2025) — In a quiet but significant move marking the builder’s return to the Rancho Sahuarita master-planned community, D.R. Horton has purchased 30 finished lots in the new Entrada Del Toro neighborhood. The sale closed on November 20, 2025, for $2,825,625 ($94,188 per lot).

The acquisition represents D.R. Horton’s first foothold within Entrada Del Toro, one of Rancho Sahuarita’s newest residential phases on the community’s growing southern side. While Horton has previously built homes in other Rancho Sahuarita neighborhoods, this bulk purchase signals the company’s next chapter within the 3,000-acre master plan.

A Strategic Early Entry into Entrada Del Toro

The lots are part of an active development phase within Entrada Del Toro, where subdivision improvements are still underway. D.R. Horton’s purchase positions the builder early in the neighborhood’s buildout as remaining lots move toward completion. Entrada Del Toro is one of several new neighborhoods expanding the community’s residential capacity and diversifying its homebuilder lineup, which already includes Lennar, KB Home, Richmond American, Meritage Homes and Century Communities.

Rancho Sahuarita has not yet issued a public press release regarding Horton’s entry into the neighborhood, suggesting that formal announcements may align with model home construction or an upcoming builder rollout.

A Community Recognized for Affordability and Quality of Life

In 2024, the Town of Sahuarita was named one of the “50 Most Affordable Suburbs in the U.S.” by a national suburban-affordability ranking cited by local real-estate media. The write-up highlighted Rancho Sahuarita as the heart of Sahuarita’s appeal, emphasizing its combination of affordable, high-quality homes and strong community amenities — factors that continue to draw residents into the rapidly growing I-19 corridor.

Momentum Continues in Sahuarita’s Expanding Housing Market

The addition of D.R. Horton marks another milestone in Sahuarita’s residential growth cycle. Demand remains steady in the I-19 corridor, with Rancho Sahuarita continuing to draw families seeking amenities, schools, parks, and master-planned features that have defined the community for more than two decades.

Entrada Del Toro has emerged as a key component of the community’s next phase, incorporating updated design standards, enhanced connectivity, and new recreational elements. Horton’s participation is expected to bring a new product lineup and price range to the area once models begin vertical construction.

The 30-lot acquisition positions Horton as one of the core builders in the Entrada Del Toro subdivision, expanding housing options in one of Southern Arizona’s most active residential corridors.

Phoenix, Ariz. (December 1, 2025) – Kidder Mathews has arranged the $2,530,000 sale of an 8.9-acre commercial site in Buckeye at the southwest corner of Jackrabbit Trail and Encanto Boulevard in Buckeye, Arizona—one of the fastest-growing corridors in the West Valley. Brian Rosella of Kidder Mathews represented the seller, Mountain States Exchange, LLC as Intermediary FBO La Familia Management, LLLP, in the exclusive listing assignment. The buyer is Rosemead Properties, Inc.

A Strategic Site in the Path of Explosive West Valley Growth

Located less than half a mile from Interstate 10, the property sits within the rapidly expanding Jackrabbit Corridor, a submarket that has transformed over the past five years as population growth, new retail investment, and regional healthcare expansion have accelerated demand for commercial land.

The site benefits from immediate proximity to the new Banner Health facility at Verrado, one of the corridor’s most significant recent institutional developments. Additionally, the site lies just north of major retail anchors—including Fry’s Food & Drug and multiple new neighborhood-service tenants—demonstrating the ongoing retail clustering occurring along the Jackrabbit/Indian School/I-10 triangle.

Within a five-mile radius, Buckeye has approved or is reviewing multiple employment centers, distribution facilities, and mixed-use projects. Population density along Jackrabbit Trail has surged as new master-planned housing developments come online, creating strong daytime and residential demand for future commercial uses.

“The Jackrabbit Corridor continues to draw investor interest as retail, healthcare, and employment uses expand throughout the area,” said Rosella. “Commercially zoned land with this kind of access and surrounding activity remains a priority for buyers looking ahead at Buckeye’s growth. Sites that can serve both neighborhood retail and regional service needs are becoming increasingly competitive.”

The buyer, Rosemead Properties, Inc., is expected to evaluate a range of commercial development opportunities aligned with the submarket’s evolving needs, including retail, medical, service-oriented, and employment-supportive uses.

Buckeye: One of the Nation’s Fastest-Growing Cities

Buckeye has consistently ranked among the top five fastest-growing cities in the United States, driven by strong job creation, regional transportation access, and its role as the West Valley’s next major growth frontier. I-10 expansion projects, along with continued residential absorption in Verrado, Tartesso, and surrounding communities, have strengthened the city’s fundamentals and elevated investor interest in commercial-zoned parcels with strategic frontage.

The Jackrabbit/Encanto corner has emerged as one of the submarket’s most visible and connected commercial intersections, making the 8.9-acre parcel a valuable long-term hold or near-term development opportunity.
