Mattamy Homes Expands into Phoenix's West Valley
Mattamy Homes, the largest family-owned homebuilder in North America, is proud to announce a new community named Baker Farms. This exciting project will introduce 83 single-family homesites in the vibrant Phoenix area. Sales are expected to begin this upcoming spring, marking a significant addition to one of the area's last remaining residential tracts.
Details of the Acquisition
The acquisition of Baker Farms was finalized for $13.4 million, clearly demonstrating Mattamy Homes' commitment to expanding its presence in a prime development location. The gated community is situated near the intersection of 79th Avenue and McDowell Road, offering residents easy access to vital transportation routes, being just a short drive from Interstate 10 and Downtown Phoenix.
Community Features
Matthew Arneson, Vice President of Land Acquisition for Mattamy's Phoenix Division, expressed enthusiasm about joining forces with Richmond American Homes at Baker Farms. He mentioned, "Richmond has created a fantastic community in a prime location, and we look forward to working alongside them and bringing the Mattamy way to Baker Farms." This collaboration is anticipated to enhance the livability and appeal of the neighborhood.
Prospective buyers will have a variety of choices with eight thoughtfully designed floorplans ranging from 1,313 to 2,490 square feet, ensuring options suitable for diverse family needs. Each homesite will have average dimensions of 40' by 110', providing enough space for families to thrive.
Life at Baker Farms

Residents will enjoy the convenience of having extensive recreational, entertainment, dining, and shopping options within a 10-mile radius.
The community is strategically located near popular destinations such as the Westgate Entertainment District and State Farm Stadium, the home of the Arizona Cardinals, as well as various parks and cultural venues like the Talking Stick Amphitheater.
Strategic Growth Plans
