Home Building & Remodeling in New River, AZ

Local Custom Home Builder Expertise

In Arroyo Norte and across New River, AZ, we build custom homes and accessory dwelling units that fit your land and your vision. Whether you're expanding on large acreage or adding an ADU for family or rental income, we handle the entire process from design through completion.

New River's unincorporated status and low-density landscape mean no HOA restrictions on most properties—and new state law now opens the door to ADU builds on residential lots. We know the local permitting path, water hauling logistics, and how to design for the desert terrain.

How We Work

1

Plan & Permit

We assess your lot, pull surveys, and navigate Maricopa County and state ADU laws. We handle initial permitting so there are no surprises.

2

Design & Prep

Custom plans tailored to your lot size and budget. We arrange utility tie-ins, confirm foundation needs, and stage the site for build.

3

Build & Inspect

Framing, utility installation, and finishing happen on schedule. County inspections are managed at each phase—no shortcuts.

4

Certificate & Close

Final walk-through, certificate of occupancy in hand, and the unit is ready to use or lease. Warranty documentation included.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Why Local Expertise Matters in New River

No HOA Means More Freedom

Most New River parcels have no HOA. You control your land, your design, and your property improvements. We know how to maximize that freedom within county code.

Acreage-Friendly Design

Homes on 1+ acres let you plan not just a house, but a lifestyle—stables, guest quarters, separate buildings, or multiple structures. We design for that scale.

Water & Utility Reality

New River relies on water hauling and well systems. We design homes and ADUs that work with these realities—proper utility tie-ins, storage, and compliance with Epcor or private hauler standards.

ADU Law is New—We're Ready

HB 2928 opened the door in 2025–2026. Unincorporated Maricopa County now permits ADUs by-right on residential lots. We know the permit pathway, size limits, and how to get your ADU approved fast.

Serving New River & Nearby Areas

We build throughout the area north of Phoenix, including Arroyo Norte, Desert Hills, and beyond.

Getting Here

New River sits roughly 35 miles north of downtown Phoenix via Interstate 17. From Anthem (just south), take I-17 north. The area is unincorporated Maricopa County with low density and wide-open desert. Visits by appointment recommended for a site walk or design consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build an ADU on my New River property?

Yes—if your lot is zoned residential and not restricted by a covenanted HOA. Unincorporated Maricopa County now permits one detached ADU (up to 1,000 sq ft) on single-family residential lots under HB 2928.

Do I need an HOA's permission for an ADU?

If your property has an HOA with deed restrictions, yes—state law doesn't override private covenants. Check your property documents first. Most New River parcels are HOA-free.

What about water and utilities in New River?

Water is hauled via Epcor or private haulers; many homes also have wells. We assess your lot's utility setup and design homes and ADUs to work with available infrastructure.

How close can I build an ADU to property lines?

HB 2928 allows 5-foot rear and side setbacks for ADUs, down from previous limits. Specific rules depend on your lot's zoning. We verify setback requirements during the permitting phase.

Can I rent out an ADU as a short-term rental?

Arizona law allows short-term rental of ADUs if the property owner resides on-site. Check with Maricopa County for any local restrictions beyond state law.

What's the size limit for an ADU?

Maximum 1,000 sq ft or 75% of the primary dwelling's floor area, whichever is smaller. We confirm your lot's specific limits during initial design consultation.
