If you’ve driven down Citrus Road lately and noticed a brand-new neighborhood that seemed to appear out of nowhere, you’re not imagining things. Citrus Park is one of the newest master-planned communities in the Goodyear area, and it’s been turning heads since the first homes went up. We’ve been hauling junk in and around Goodyear since 2001, so when a new neighborhood starts buzzing, we notice — mostly because our trucks start showing up there pretty quickly.
The community sits near S. 183rd Avenue and Citrus Road — right in the heart of the West Valley growth corridor that’s been making national headlines. And yeah, before you ask: that’s where the name comes from. Citrus Road. (Oh, that’s where they got the name Citrus Park from… makes sense now, right?)
So Who Built This Place?
Citrus Park was developed by Landsea Homes, a California-based builder that took one look at Goodyear’s growth numbers and said, “yeah, we want in on that.” And honestly, can you blame them? Goodyear has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the entire country — we’re talking 31% population growth since 2020, with over 128,000 residents now calling this city home. The West Valley is booming, and Citrus Park is right in the middle of it.
Landsea launched sales in August 2023, and the response was immediate. The company has since rebranded its Arizona operations as RiseWell Homes, but the community is the same — 616 homesites spread across 45 acres, with three distinct neighborhoods to choose from. Homes are still selling as of mid-2026, so if you’re curious, you can still get in.
Three Neighborhoods, One Community
One thing we appreciate about Citrus Park is that they didn’t just stamp out the same floor plan 616 times and call it a day. There are three neighborhoods here, each with its own vibe and price point. Whether you’re a first-time buyer trying to get into the market or a growing family that needs room to spread out, there’s probably something here for you.
Mandarin
Two-story homes, 3–5 bedrooms, 1,706–2,284 sq ft. Great for buyers getting into the market without sacrificing space. Gourmet kitchen options available.
From the Low $300s
Valencia
One and two-story options, 3–5 bedrooms, 1,727–2,807 sq ft. The middle ground — solid size, flexible layouts, optional guest suites for the in-laws (or the in-laws you actually like).
From the Low $300s
Trovita
The big one. One and two-story homes, 3–6 bedrooms, 1,938–2,868 sq ft. Two or three-car garages. For the family that has outgrown everything else and needs real room to breathe.
From the Low $400s
Prices as of mid-2026 are running roughly $399,990 on the low end up to $619,990 and beyond for the larger configurations. For a brand-new home in the West Valley with all the amenities Citrus Park offers, that’s still a pretty compelling number — especially if you’re coming from a market like Los Angeles or Seattle where that budget gets you a studio apartment and a parking spot.
The Grove: Where the Community Actually Happens
Every master-planned community promises amenities. Not all of them deliver. Citrus Park’s answer is The Grove — a five-acre amenity hub right in the center of the development that’s designed to be the social heartbeat of the neighborhood. And from what we’ve seen, it’s the real deal.
- 🏊 Aquatic Center
- 💦 Kids’ Splash Pad
- 🏀 Basketball Court
- 🎾 Pickleball Court
- 🌳 Shaded Parks
- 🏡 45 Acres of Open Space
Pickleball is basically the official sport of the West Valley at this point, so it’s good to see it included. The splash pad is a nice touch for families with younger kids — because let’s be honest, summer in Goodyear is no joke, and having somewhere for the kids to cool off without loading everyone into the car is a genuine quality-of-life win.
Smart Homes — And We Mean Actually Smart
Every home at Citrus Park comes with Apple HomeKit integration built in as a standard feature — not an upgrade, not an add-on, just part of the deal. Geo-fencing, smart thermostats, keyless entry, the whole thing. Your house knows when you’re coming home and adjusts accordingly. Which is either very cool or slightly unsettling depending on your relationship with technology. Either way, it’s included.
For buyers coming from older homes — or from out of state where new construction at this price point doesn’t come with any of this — the smart-home package at Citrus Park is one of those features that sounds like a nice bonus until you’ve lived with it for a month and can’t imagine going back.
What’s Around Citrus Park?
Location matters, and Citrus Park’s got a good one. Here’s what’s in the neighborhood:
Luke Air Force Base
Luke AFB is just a few miles away and is one of the largest employers in the entire West Valley. It’s home to the world’s largest F-35 training program, which means thousands of military personnel, contractors, and support staff are working and living in this area. For military families, Citrus Park’s proximity to the base makes it an obvious choice. And for the broader community, having a major employer like Luke nearby is a stabilizing force that keeps the local economy humming.
Goodyear Ballpark
Every February and March, Goodyear Ballpark fills up with Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Guardians fans for spring training. For Citrus Park residents, it’s a short drive down the road — the kind of thing that sounds like a small perk until you’re actually sitting in the stands on a perfect 75-degree February afternoon watching a ballgame. Then it feels like a pretty big deal.
The Loop 303 Corridor
The industrial and commercial development happening along the Loop 303 is bringing real jobs to the immediate area. A new industrial park is planned near the northeast corner of Citrus and Indian School roads — the kind of investment that signals long-term confidence in the neighborhood. More jobs nearby means more demand for housing nearby. And more demand for housing means Citrus Park was probably a pretty smart place to buy.
Goodyear added more than 7,600 residents in a single recent year — a growth rate that consistently puts it in the top tier of fastest-growing cities in the country. Citrus Park is right in the middle of all of it.
Who’s Moving to Citrus Park?
Honestly? A lot of Californians. We see it constantly out here in the West Valley — families from Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Bay Area who’ve done the math and realized that a brand-new 2,500 square foot home in Goodyear costs less than a two-bedroom condo in their old neighborhood. The math isn’t subtle. Goodyear’s median household income is around $103,000, and the community skews toward established families with school-age kids — exactly the demographic that Citrus Park’s floor plans and amenities were built for.
There’s also a strong contingent of military families from Luke AFB, remote workers who can now live wherever they want and are choosing space and quality of life over urban proximity, and local West Valley residents who’ve been watching Goodyear grow and finally decided it was time to upgrade.
Moving Into Citrus Park? We’ve Got Your Back.
Is Citrus Park Worth It?
We’re a junk removal company, not a real estate firm — so take this for what it’s worth. But we’ve been in and out of neighborhoods across the West Valley for 25 years, and we’ve seen a lot of communities come and go. Citrus Park has the fundamentals right: good location, real amenities, smart-home tech that’s actually useful, and a price point that still makes sense in 2026. The fact that it sits in the middle of one of the fastest-growing cities in the country doesn’t hurt either.
If you’re thinking about it, go take a look. The model homes are open and the RiseWell team is easy to work with. And when you’re ready to move in — or move out of wherever you are now — you know who to call.
