Final Phase Now Open at Bella Vista North

August 03, 2006

Avatar Homes announces the opening of the final phase at Bella Vista North in Rio Rico, 45 minutes south of Tucson.

Guy Tobin, President of Arizona Operations in Rio Rico, says, “Now couldn’t be a better time to buy a new home in Rio Rico. With so many communities being developed south of Tucson, the population is rapidly expanding this way. Rio Rico maintains the rich traditions of yesterday with an unspoiled rural residential ambience.”

Bella Vista North, surrounding the prestigious Esplendor Resort, offers three styles of homes to complement the traditional ambiance of Bella Vista. The Old Pueblo Collection offers 7 floor plans with a contemporary new feel in Southwestern design. The Mission Collection offers 7 floor plans all with mission tile roofs and one and two-story innovative designs. The Estates at Bella Vista offers homes situated on larger estate-size lots, with plenty of room for growing families. The first two phases of Bella Vista sold out in record time, and requests for this popular neighborhood have continued.

Once part of a vast land grant from the King of Spain, Rio Rico maintains the unique balance of new homes planned around thousands of acres of open space, a new State Park, the Anza National Historic Trail, the Esplendor Resort, and the par-72 Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course, which is consistently rated among the best in the state. Rio Rico’s major attraction is a resort lifestyle, affordable housing, and its proximity to both Tucson and the Mexican border.

A subsidiary of Avatar Properties, Inc. of Florida, Rio Rico Properties is the residential, commercial and industrial developer of the 35,000 acre community. Rio Rico Properties has enjoyed 10 years of helping to develop and build the town of Rio Rico, whose population recently topped 16,000, with a lasting commitment to preserving the culture and natural beauty of the area.

Rio Rico Properties is a proud member of the Better Business Bureau and the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association.
