Inside Affordable MASSIVE New Homes Near Phoenix AZ

IS THIS THE PERFECT LARGE HOME FOR YOUR FAMILY IN GOODYEAR, ARIZONA? (UNDER $150/SQ FT)

If you’ve been dreaming of a large, energy-efficient home that doesn’t break the bank — and still want space for everyone — then the new two-story floor plan we toured in Goodyear might just be what you’re looking for.


We’re talking about over 3,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, potentially up to six bedrooms and five bathrooms, a spacious three-car garage, and real energy efficiency to help keep long-term costs down — all starting around $150 per square foot. That’s a rare find for new construction in the Phoenix market.


FIRST IMPRESSIONS: STYLE MEETS PRACTICALITY

Right from the street, this Cottonwood floor plan impresses. The thoughtful exterior design includes a welcoming front patio — perfect for rocking chairs, seasonal décor, or just relaxing in the evening light. The community’s consistent look and flat paver bricks give it a finished, upscale feel right from day one.


Inside, the home offers a mix of functional spaces and flexible rooms. There’s a dedicated office/flex room on the main floor — ideal as a workspace, craft room, or even a poker or cocktail room — giving you flexibility for your family’s lifestyle.


A conveniently located powder room and ample storage under the stairs make daily life simpler and more efficient. And because this is being shown as a spec home, you get a sense of what’s included at base price — without paying extra for every little feature upfront.


KITCHEN & LIVING: DESIGNED FOR REAL FAMILY LIFE

The heart of any home is its kitchen, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Warm brown cabinetry, a functional layout with generous cabinets, and options for personal upgrades mean you can make it your own — whether you prefer a modern look or something more traditional.


A walk-in pantry offers serious storage, and the dining/living room spaces connect beautifully to large sliding doors — perfect for entertaining or everyday family flow. With multiple sliders bringing in light and access to the backyard, this house feels bright and open.


The three-car tandem garage gives you room for vehicles, outdoor gear, or hobby space — plus flexible options to add even more built-ins or storage zones.


OUTDOOR LIVING: SHADE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE

One of the standout features of this home is the covered patio — and all the space that comes with it. In the desert climate of Arizona, ample shade year-round is a game-changer for outdoor living, and this patio delivers.


Whether you’re picturing a pool, barbecue area, fire pit, dog play space, or outdoor TV setup — there’s room for it here. Views of the White Tank Mountains to the north and close access to the Estrella Mountains make the outdoor experience feel connected to the landscape, not just a backyard.


UPSTAIRS: PRIVATE SPACES FOR EVERYONE

Upstairs is where the home really shines for families. There’s a spacious loft ideal for a media room, play space, or quiet retreat. The primary bedroom feels like a private suite, with lots of natural light, soothing paint tones, and plenty of space — including a generous bathroom layout and a closet that’s just begging for custom built-ins.


Bedrooms upstairs are thoughtfully sized, with walk-in closets and flexible options like adding dual sinks depending on your needs. A laundry room with built-in cabinets shows that even everyday chores were considered in the design — practical living made easy.


ENERGY EFFICIENCY & LONG-TERM VALUE

Everyone knows larger homes usually come with larger utility bills — but this build doesn’t follow that rule. With a HERS rating in the 40s (where efficiency at 60 is already “good”), these homes are built to stand up to Arizona heat and sunshine year after year while keeping operational costs lower. That’s smart planning that pays off long term.


With new construction it’s critical to think beyond just the price tag and floor plan — you want efficiency, long-term cost savings, and quality that lasts. This is exactly where this floor plan and builder deliver value.
