Trilogy at Verde River | Rio Verde

Found just east of North Scottsdale, Trilogy at Verde River is the only new golf resort community projected to be built in the Rio Verde area of the Valley in several years. Tonto National Forest is considered the backyard of this all-ages community, so residents can enjoy the great outdoors firsthand via hiking, biking, kayaking and camping. trilogylife.com.

What’s New: The resort-lifestyle clubhouse is set to open in fall of 2017, with a state-of-the-art fitness studio, a pool, a fine dining restaurant, an outdoor sports complex and an outfitter store, where residents can find all the necessities to venture into Tonto National Forest. The nearby Verde River Golf & Social Club (previously named Tegavah), one of Arizona's best-kept golf secrets for nearly a decade, is now under the guidance of PGA Tour legend Tom Lehman and, thus, undergoing an extensive redesign project.
