Mattamy Homes Expands Its Footprint in Phoenix's West Valley with Baker Farms
Mattamy Homes, renowned as North America's largest family-owned homebuilder, is thrilled to announce its latest venture in the Phoenix area—a new community named Baker Farms. This project, which encompasses 83 single-family homes, showcases Mattamy's commitment to developing neighborhoods that cater to the needs of modern families.
The acquisition was finalized on December 10, 2025, for a total of $13.4 million. Situated at the northwest corner of 79th Avenue and McDowell Road, Baker Farms is less than a mile off Interstate 10 and just 10 miles from the bustling Downtown Phoenix.
Matthew Arneson, Vice President of Land Acquisition for Mattamy's Phoenix Division, expressed excitement about collaborating with Richmond American Homes, the existing developer at Baker Farms. He noted, "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."
Diverse Designs and Community Features
Buying a home in this new community offers prospective homeowners a selection from eight meticulously designed floorplans, ranging from 1,313 to 2,490 square feet. The homesites average approximately 40 feet by 110 feet in size, making them spacious and accommodating for growing families.
Baker Farms is aptly designed to foster a strong community spirit among its residents. Key amenities include:
- - A 4,500-square-foot splash pad for family fun and relaxation.
- - Picnic areas equipped with charcoal grills, ideal for community gatherings.
- - A playground designed to provide an engaging environment for children's outdoor activity.
Moreover, residents of Baker Farms will benefit from the convenience of having extensive recreation and entertainment options nearby. A mere 10-mile radius encompasses significant attractions such as the Westgate Entertainment District, State Farm Stadium (home to the Arizona Cardinals), Park West, and the Talking Stick Amphitheater, promising diverse recreational experiences.
Strategic Growth and Future Sales
According to Don Barrineau, President of Mattamy's Phoenix Division, Baker Farms exemplifies the company's strategic approach to growth. He stated, "This community will appeal to homebuyers seeking spacious floorplans, outdoor amenities, nearby shopping and dining, and convenient access to major employment centers—all within a short drive."
Sales for the Baker Farms community are slated to kick off in the spring of 2026, with expected closings as early as the fall of this year. As this new community is added to Mattamy's portfolio, it joins other actively selling West Valley communities, including Las Ventanas, Tyler Ranch, Tierra Vistoso, and Miravida, as well as the upcoming White Tank Vistas, also anticipated for Spring 2026.
