This area has a lot to offer, ranging from two 18 hole championship golf courses to Big Splash Water Park.

The tremendous spurt of growth the North Phoenix area is experiencing started with the city of Anthem in 1999 by the Del Webb Corporation. It now covers a 242 square mile area. New home development is definitely a big industry in North Phoenix. Whether you are an avid golfer or a growing family, you will enjoy the Sonoran Desert living in Anthem.

For a unique wedding experience, there is a Victorian-style chapel. Children love the “Critter Corral”, home to miniature Brahma bulls and other animals.

Horse racing fans are sure to frequent the Turf Paradise Race Course, located 14 miles north of Sky Harbor Airport, which first opened in 1956. Races are from October to May.
