Why This Neighborhood Stands Out
Harvest is one of the most popular and in-demand communities in all of Queen Creek right now — and it is easy to see why. A 400-acre master-planned community built at the intersection of Riggs and Rittenhouse Roads, Harvest brings together five quality builders, resort-level amenities, and the kind of community atmosphere that Queen Creek does better than almost anywhere else in the Valley. The community is still actively building, meaning buyers have opportunities to purchase new construction with builder incentives and select their own finishes.

The Lifestyle Here
Harvest has a vibrant, family-oriented community feel anchored by The Grange — the community park that features a resort-style pool, junior Olympic lap pool, community lake, outdoor pavilion, splash pad, and walking trails. Community events, outdoor movie nights, and seasonal gatherings keep the social calendar full.

For Luxury Buyers

Multi-Generational Living
Several of the builders at Harvest offer floor plans with attached guest suites or secondary living spaces. David Weekley and Pulte in particular have plans worth reviewing for multi-gen applications. Verify current available floor plans directly with each builder’s on-site sales team.
