Learn the streets before you choose one, so you buy in the right community from out of state.

Relocating to New River

Relocating to New River puts you in a rural community along I-17, north of Anthem, in Maricopa County. Lots are larger, the desert is close, and there is no city government, so the county handles zoning and permits.

How I help relocating buyers

I’m Valerie Moe, with Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living. Before you visit, I preview homes and land on video and explain how New River compares with Anthem to the south. Your trip then focuses on a short list, and I coordinate escrow with regular updates. See from offer to keys.

What newcomers ask

Schools: Deer Valley Unified; confirm by address. Water: some homes are on a well and some have water delivered, and I confirm which for each home. Getting around: I-17 is the main route south, and we time the drives you’ll make most.
