Arizona Horse Property and Equestrian Real Estate on MLS

Horse properties and equestrian homes can still be located in several areas throughout greater Phoenix. Although the vast horse ranches of the past have yielded to the rapid growth of new home developments, scattered pockets of horse properties remain. While fast-paced urban neighborhoods surround most horse properties, a few communities adjoin large parcels of state-owned land that allow riding in the beautiful Sonoran Desert.

Phoenix equestrian real estate offers a unique lifestyle within the city. Sunburst Farms, in the Paradise Valley section of North Phoenix, features homes with large lots that can accommodate horses, and many of the homes have corrals. Some people without horses purchase homes in this community for the larger-than-usual lot size and the rural feel of the neighborhood in a great Phoenix location. A park very close by allows horseback riding.

In South Phoenix large parcels of rural ranch land can still be found near the South Mountain Park, which has many miles of trails to explore. New development is threatening the remaining horse property real estate in Laveen.

The cities on the outskirts of Phoenix offer a broader selection of horse properties. North of Phoenix is the community of Desert Hills with a large selection of new and resale homes, lots and properties on acreage that will accommodate horses. North of Desert Hills is the town of New River, a rural area with many horse properties and riding trails that meander through the hills and mountains of the Sonoran Desert.

Southeast of Phoenix are East Mesa and Apache Junction, where an abundance of horse property real estate can be found with access to nearby riding trails in the Superstition Mountains. West of Phoenix, the small towns of Buckeye, Avondale, Tolleson and Goodyear are growing fast yet retain ample land for horses.
