Avion is one of the most compelling new master-planned communities in the West Valley, positioned in southern Goodyear near the intersection of West Lower Buckeye Road and South Bullard Avenue in the 85338 ZIP code. Development began in the early 2020s and continues to expand, with the master plan delivering hundreds of new single-family homes across multiple builder neighborhoods. The community sits adjacent to Goodyear Ballpark, the spring training and player development home of the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds — residents can walk to a Cactus League game or watch professional players train through much of February and March.
Goodyear’s southern corridor has transformed over the past decade, and Avion represents that growth at its most intentional. Avion offers new construction with resort-style amenities and easy I-10 access. With prices starting in the mid-$400,000s, Avion homes for sale offer exceptional value in a metro market where comparable product trades considerably higher near Phoenix’s core.
Lennar is Avion’s founding and primary builder, and three Lennar collections give buyers a range of floor plans without leaving the masterplan.
The Lennar Premier Collection is the entry point, with single-story plans from roughly 1,401 to 1,479 square feet priced from the low-to-mid $400,000s. Every home comes with Lennar’s Everything’s Included® package — smart home technology, energy-efficient construction, designer-selected finishes, and stainless appliances — as standard rather than as upgrades.
The Lennar Horizon Collection steps up to 2,233 to 2,524 square feet and includes the builder’s Next Gen® — The Home Within a Home® plans. Those layouts add an attached suite with its own entrance, living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and bathroom, separated from the main living space. Pricing has run from about the mid-$470,000s to the upper $570,000s.
The Lennar Arbor Collection adds more Next Gen®-capable layouts in the middle of that range, giving buyers more configurations to compare.
In July 2025, Richmond American Homes opened two more neighborhoods inside Avion: Portfolio at Avion at 15794 W. Miami Street and Seasons at Avion at 15781 W. Vogel Avenue. The Seasons™ Collection offers nine floor plans in single- and two-story configurations with curated fixture and finish packages. Portfolio plans are larger — the Raleigh, for example, includes an island kitchen, a butler’s pantry, and an oversized primary suite — with base pricing from the low-to-mid $500,000s.
The inventory here is entirely new-construction single-family detached homes, roughly 1,400 to 2,700 square feet. Avion has no townhomes or condominiums; every home sits on its own lot with a private yard.
The defining recreational asset of Avion’s address is Goodyear Ballpark at 1933 S. Ballpark Way, a short walk or bike ride from the community’s eastern edge. The stadium opened in February 2009 as a $108 million project that returned MLB spring training to the West Valley. Today it hosts the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds each spring, features more than 8,000 stadium seats and 1,500 berm seats, and includes six luxury suites and group party decks. Beyond baseball, the ballpark hosts car shows, July 4th celebrations, tournaments, and community events year-round — effectively functioning as Goodyear’s civic town square.
Avion’s most significant natural amenity is Estrella Mountain Regional Park at 14805 W. Vineyard Avenue, roughly five miles to the southwest. At approximately 19,840 acres — the second-largest park in the Maricopa County park system — it offers more than 33 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian riding through pristine Sonoran Desert landscape near the confluence of the Gila and Agua Fria Rivers. Key named trails include:
The park also contains an 18-hole golf course within the Casey Abbott Recreation Area, a competitive mountain biking track, an amphitheater, playgrounds, and RV camping with hookups.
Within the Avion masterplan itself, residents enjoy a resort-style community pool and spa, a pickleball court, and a playground. A lush green belt threads through the community, providing shaded walking corridors and gathering space. Inside the master plan, Avion residents have a resort-style community pool and spa, a pickleball court, and a playground, connected by a green belt that threads through the community as a shaded walking corridor. The HOA maintains the amenities, and the green belt doubles as a gathering space for community events.
Your agent’s job on a new build is to represent you rather than the builder’s sales office. That means reading the contract and addenda with you before you sign, tracking the release schedule so you know when a lot and a plan actually line up, and looking at which upgrades tend to hold value against comparable sales versus which ones are personal preference. A West USA Realty agent recommends an independent inspection at the pre-drywall stage and again before the final walkthrough, and attends both. Your agent also keeps a written record of what was promised along the way, so the punch list and the one-year warranty walk have something to measure against.
The largest retail cluster serving Avion is Palm Valley Pavilions, at Litchfield Road and McDowell Road about six miles north. Three adjacent centers — West, East, and North — run together as one shopping district. Palm Valley Pavilions West is anchored by Best Buy, Total Wine & More, Barnes & Noble, Ulta Beauty, and Ross Dress for Less. Palm Valley Pavilions East adds Target, Michaels, Café Rio, Chili’s, Five Guys, Cracker Barrel, and Starbucks, and the wider complex includes Chipotle Mexican Grill, Wildflower Bread Company, Hayashi Hibachi, MOD Pizza, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, and Bath & Body Works. For groceries, Palm Valley Marketplace at Indian School Road and Litchfield Road is anchored by Safeway and includes Main Squeeze Juice Co., OrangeTheory Fitness, and Domino’s Pizza. |
Harkins Estrella Falls 16 is the closest multiplex, at The Market at Estrella Falls on Estrella Parkway, about ten minutes from Avion. Closer to downtown Goodyear, the GSQ (Goodyear Square) mixed-use district is still filling in, with Fogo de Chão, First Watch, Flower Child, and Kura Revolving Sushi Bar among the restaurants announced for the corridor.
Avion is within a mile of the I-10 interchange at Bullard Avenue. Loop 303 is about three miles north via Litchfield Road, which connects to the Northwest Valley and the Loop 101 corridor. Sky Harbor International Airport is roughly 21 miles east, a 20- to 25-minute drive off-peak, and downtown Phoenix is about 22 miles east on the same corridor. Phoenix-Goodyear Airport (GYR) handles general and private aviation locally, with Lux Air Jet Centers on site. Goodyear also maintains more than 100 miles of paved bike routes that tie into the regional Maricopa Trail network.
New construction runs on a different track than resale. Lots and floor plans are released in phases, so timing determines what’s available to you. The contract is the builder’s own paperwork with its own addenda and deadlines. Design center choices split between structural items that must be decided before framing and finishes that can wait. Most builders ask that your REALTOR® be with you on the first model home visit in order to be recognized in the transaction. From there, your agent reads the contract with you, compares builder-lender incentives against outside financing, recommends an independent inspection at pre-drywall and again before the final walkthrough, and keeps written track of what was promised so the punch list and warranty walk have something to measure against.
West USA Realty agents help buyers navigate new construction purchases in the West Valley — understanding builder incentives, upgrade packages, and timing strategies that can save thousands. Whether you’re relocating from California, upsizing, or buying your first home, your agent can walk the community with you.

Avion is an active-build new construction community in Goodyear, Arizona, developed by Lennar and Richmond American Homes. Lennar’s Premier Collection begins in the low-to-mid $400,000s; Horizon and Arbor Collection homes range from the mid-$470,000s to the upper $570,000s. Richmond American’s Portfolio and Seasons neighborhoods start in the low-to-mid $500,000s. Estimated price per square foot across the community runs $170–$230 depending on collection and upgrade level. Days on market for completed new construction in this corridor typically range 30–75 days. The broader Goodyear market recorded a median sale price near $466,000 in late 2025, and Avion’s pricing aligns with that benchmark while offering the premium of new construction warranties and energy-efficient systems.
Buying a new build is a different transaction from buying resale. Homes are released in phases, so the lot and plan you want are only available together during a specific release window, and pricing resets with each release. The purchase contract is the builder’s own paperwork rather than the standard Arizona resale contract, and it carries addenda covering deposits, change-order deadlines, completion timelines, and what happens if construction runs long. Design center appointments usually come early, and the decisions there split into two groups: structural changes that have to be made before framing, and finish selections that can sometimes be handled later for less. Builders also offer incentives through their own lending affiliates, Lennar Mortgage and HomeAmerican Mortgage, which are worth comparing against outside financing rather than accepting at face value.
One practical note before you go: most builders ask that your REALTOR® be with you on your first visit to the model home in order to be recognized in the transaction. It costs you nothing to have representation on a new build, but you generally have to set it up on that first trip.
The Avion master plan includes a resort-style community pool and spa, a pickleball court, a playground, and a green belt walking corridor, all maintained by the community HOA. Goodyear Ballpark is within walking distance and hosts Cactus League spring training for the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds, along with year-round city events. The Casey Abbott Recreation Area inside Estrella Mountain Regional Park adds an 18-hole golf course, an amphitheater, volleyball courts, and competitive mountain biking tracks. Goodyear’s network of more than 100 miles of paved bike routes connects Avion to regional trail systems.
Both builders in Avion comply with current Arizona energy and building codes. Lennar homes are built to ENERGY STAR standards with solar-ready roofing, high-efficiency HVAC, spray foam insulation, low-e windows, and low-flow water fixtures as part of the Everything’s Included® package. Smart thermostats, reinforced door hardware, smart lock compatibility, and video doorbell provisions are standard across the Lennar and Richmond American product lines. New homes carry builder warranties covering workmanship, systems, and structural components on separate schedules, and those schedules are worth reading closely because coverage lengths differ by category. An independent inspection at pre-drywall and again before closing is worth scheduling, regardless of who built the home.
Interstate 10 is accessible within one mile of Avion via the Bullard Avenue interchange, enabling straightforward commutes east to downtown Phoenix (approximately 22 miles, 20–25 minutes off-peak) or west toward the Loop 303 interchange at Litchfield Road. Loop 303 connects north to Peoria, Surprise, and the Loop 101, broadening access to the Northwest Valley’s employment corridors. Sky Harbor International Airport is approximately 21 miles east, a 20–25 minute drive. The Phoenix-Goodyear Airport serves general aviation needs locally. Goodyear’s 100-plus miles of paved bike routes integrate with the regional Maricopa Trail system, and the city’s grid-pattern surface streets facilitate local circulation efficiently.
Goodyear is one of Arizona’s fastest-growing cities, a distinction that supports property values throughout its new master-planned developments. The community is served by the Goodyear Police Department. Avion’s HOA enforces community standards including architectural covenants and landscape requirements. New construction homes benefit from modern security infrastructure: reinforced door hardware, smart lock compatibility, and video doorbell provisions standard across the Lennar and Richmond American product lines.
Banner Estrella Medical Center at 9305 W. Thomas Road in Phoenix is the primary acute care hospital for this part of the West Valley, a 353-bed fully electronic facility. Banner has approved a $35 million expansion adding 36 inpatient beds there and announced a 65,000-square-foot multispecialty health center in Goodyear. Abrazo West Campus in Avondale is a second hospital option, and a new Abrazo inpatient rehabilitation facility opened in Goodyear in 2025. Urgent care centers, Banner Physical Therapy locations, and specialty clinics operate along the Estrella Parkway and Litchfield Road corridors, generally within a ten-minute drive.
Estrella Mountain Regional Park is the outdoor crown jewel for Avion residents, offering 33-plus miles of multi-use trails through 19,840 acres of Sonoran Desert near the Sierra Estrella range. Goodyear has the standard Valley of the Sun climate: more than 300 days of sunshine a year, low humidity, and mild winters. Summer highs reach 105 to 115°F from June through August, which makes pool access and early-morning or evening recreation the seasonal norm. Winter lows rarely drop below the mid-30s, and December and January daytime temperatures regularly reach the low 70s. Annual rainfall averages around 8 inches, with monsoon storms from mid-June through mid-September. Avion’s community pool and spa are heated, which extends their use through the cooler months.
Avion’s HOA runs seasonal resident events at the community pool and along the green belt. Goodyear Ballpark is the city’s main event venue outside baseball season, hosting Fourth of July celebrations, car shows, tournaments, and graduation ceremonies. Harkins Estrella Falls 16 and the GSQ dining district in downtown Goodyear add entertainment options within a short drive. Goodyear’s population grew 46% between 2010 and 2020, and the city has continued to add parks, event programming, and public space to keep pace with new development.

Avion is governed by a master community HOA that enforces architectural design standards, landscape maintenance requirements, and usage rules for the pool, spa, and pickleball court. Individual builder neighborhoods may carry sub-association covenants layered under the master HOA, so ask for both sets of documents. The community is zoned single-family residential within the City of Goodyear. Confirm flood zone exposure at the parcel level through FEMA maps before you go under contract, and review the CC&Rs and the current assessment schedule with your agent during the inspection period.
Goodyear has become one of the Valley’s fastest-growing employment markets. Amazon, UPS, and Factor, a HelloFresh subsidiary, operate distribution and fulfillment facilities in the city. Sub-Zero/Wolf and Meyer Burger Technology AG represent the advanced manufacturing sector. City of Hope, formerly Cancer Treatment Centers of America, chose Goodyear for its West Valley hospital campus, and Banner Health continues to expand its Goodyear-area facilities. The aerospace sector draws on Phoenix-Goodyear Airport and the West Valley’s Foreign Trade Zone designation. Most of these employment centers are reachable from Avion in under 15 minutes via I-10.
Property taxes in Maricopa County generally run about 1.0 to 1.3% of assessed value annually, and new construction is often assessed lower in its first years, which can moderate the initial tax bill. Confirm HOA assessments with each builder at contract, since Avion carries dues at both the masterplan and sub-community level. Electric service is through APS, and the energy-efficient construction in these homes — spray foam insulation, low-e windows, smart thermostats — generally lowers cooling costs compared with older product of similar size. Builder lending affiliates Lennar Mortgage and HomeAmerican Mortgage offer purchase incentives such as rate buydowns and closing cost assistance; if you are using outside financing, ask for a side-by-side comparison before you decide. This is general information, not lending or tax advice, so run the specifics past a lender and a tax advisor before relying on them.
Avion residents are served by the City of Goodyear, which operates under a council-manager government from City Hall at 190 N. Litchfield Road. The city handles trash and recycling collection, street maintenance, parks, and code enforcement, and the Goodyear Fire Department maintains stations positioned across the growth corridors. The Arizona Association for Economic Development named Goodyear its 2026 Economic Development Organization of the Year. The city’s continued investment in the GSQ downtown district and the Loop 303 corridor is the clearest indication of where public infrastructure spending is headed next.
