Maracay celebrated the grand opening of Lakeview Trails at Morrison Ranch, located at the northeast corner of Warner and Higley roads in Gilbert on Saturday, Jan. 19.

The rural charm of this neighborhood is unlike any other new-home community in the Valley. The 92-home enclave is situated amid a suburban oasis of green grass, pristine lakes, tree-lined streets, old-fashioned street lamps and white picket fences contrasted against the natural desert landscape and stunning backdrop of the Superstition Mountains and San Tan Mountains.

All homes will be registered with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a third-party rating system that verifies compliance across several areas addressing sustainability, with the goal of earning the LEED® Certified designation. Designed to use 30–50 percent less energy than typical homes, each home will meet the EPA’s Indoor airPLUS specifications and will feature water-efficient fixtures, LED lighting, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, Energy Star® appliances, tankless water heaters, and Wi-Fi-enabled, programmable thermostats. 

A community thoughtfully crafted for the Arizona lifestyle, Lakeview Trails offers a network of walking and biking trails that loop the community’s double-lake system nestled against the iconic grain towers and guide residents throughout the tree-lined streets and connect with gathering areas, where the master-planned community hosts a number of annual events and festivals. Its convenient location in the heart of Gilbert makes it easy for residents to walk or bike to work, and  take a short drive to dozens of nearby shopping and dining destinations, including Gilbert’s iconic downtown Heritage District and the expansive outdoor SanTan Village. It also lies within easy reach of Gilbert’s highly-rated schools, major Valley freeways and top employers. 

The community’s one- and two-story floor plans range in size from 2,990 to 4,803 square feet, and provide enough space to accommodate a wide variety of living situations and lifestyles. In addition to the sustainable features built into each home, residents will also enjoy up to six bedrooms, three- and four-car garages, expansive great rooms, spacious kitchens, and Flex Design® options that encourage buyers to tailor their home to fit their lifestyle.

All homes are Energy Star® certified, in addition to being registered with the USBGC. The homes also include Maracay’s Living Smart® and Home Smart ® programs for high performance and energy efficiency.
