About Madera Highlands

A master-planned community in the town of Sahuarita, roughly 20 minutes south of Tucson in the Santa Cruz Valley, set against the backdrop of the Santa Rita Mountains just east of Interstate 19 in zip code 85629. Madera Highlands was developed beginning in the mid-2000s by national builders D.R. Horton and Richmond American Homes, with later additions such as Arbor at Madera Highlands built by Meritage Homes, and has grown to roughly 900 single- and two-story stucco homes arranged across a series of villages — some gated — with open floor plans generally ranging from about 1,400 to over 3,000 square feet in Southwestern desert styling with tile roofs and covered patios. The community's recreational core is Madera Highlands Park, which pairs a community swimming pool with a playground, basketball and tennis courts, ramada picnic areas, and greenbelts, all connected by walking paths that frame long views of the Santa Rita Mountains and the surrounding Sonoran Desert. A homeowners association maintained through Cadden Community Management covers the pool, common areas, and greenbelt upkeep, with monthly dues that vary by village and section — running roughly $75 to $125 per month, generally higher for the gated and estate sections. Homes typically trade from the mid $270,000s into the high $600,000s, with recent sales centering near $400,000. Interstate 19 puts the retail and dining corridors of Sahuarita and neighboring Green Valley within a few minutes, the copper-mining operations of the Santa Cruz Valley and the pecan orchards of Farmers Investment Co. within a short drive, and downtown Tucson and Tucson International Airport roughly 20 to 25 minutes to the north. The community falls within the Continental Elementary School District (K-8), with high schoolers zoned to Sahuarita Unified School District.
