Living in Peoria
Lake Pleasant, Vistancia and the Northwest Valley's premier addresses.
Peoria stretches from the older neighborhoods around Old Town and Peoria Avenue all the way north past Lake Pleasant, which makes it one of the most varied cities in the Valley. The southern half (85345, 85381) offers established homes on larger lots and easy Loop 101 access. The north (85382, 85383) is where you find Vistancia, Westwing, Sonoran Mountain Ranch, Terramar and newer luxury construction against the mountains.
Angela's Peoria closings run from first homes near Arrowhead to a $1.4 million estate on West Acoma Drive and sales above $1 million in Vistancia Village. Peoria buyers tend to prioritize views, schools and access to the P83 entertainment district and Lake Pleasant, and she knows which streets and parcels deliver on each.

Buying in Peoria
North Peoria homes are priced on view, elevation and lot, not just square footage. Angela will show you how the same floor plan trades differently across Vistancia villages so you pay for what matters to you.
Vistancia and several north Peoria communities carry a community facilities district (CFD) assessment on the tax bill. Angela factors it into your monthly payment before you commit.
Older Peoria homes near Old Town and Peoria Avenue offer larger lots and no HOA in many cases, which suits buyers who want RV gates, workshops or room for a casita.
