Your Home Come True

If it’s well-designed homes, resort-style living and miles of undiscovered desert landscape you’re looking for, then The Villages of Rio Rico are for you.

Save Some Green

Relax, kick off your shoes, and breathe easy knowing your new home helps reduce your carbon footprint. It’s true. Homes at The Villages of Rio Rico are built responsibly by rethinking how homes are designed and constructed. We start by working within the strict ENERGY STAR guidelines. (ENERGY STAR labeled homes are designed to perform 30% more efficiently than the typical home, so we were eager to adopt their program.) We then add features like Low-E coating to all our windows to help eliminate wasted energy usage. This isn’t just good news for Rio Rico’s countryside, but also for the families who call Rio Rico home. By instituting these practices, we’ve been able to preserve the area’s natural beauty while saving our owners money in utility bills. That’s smart building that keeps green on the planet, and in your pocket.
