Living in Buckeye
Verrado, Tartesso and the fastest growing city in the West Valley.
Buckeye has been one of the fastest growing cities in the United States for most of the last decade, and it is still early in its story. With more than 640 square miles inside city limits, Buckeye has room for master planned communities like Verrado, Tartesso, Festival Ranch and Sundance today and the 37,000 acre Teravalis community coming over the next several decades.
Angela has closed more than 25 homes in Buckeye, with the strongest activity in Festival Foothills, Tartesso, Verrado and Sundance. Most of her Buckeye buyers were choosing between a resale home built in the last ten years and new construction, and she helps them compare the true cost of both, including HOA dues, CFD assessments and builder incentives.
