On Aug. 8, Oakwood Homes celebrated the grand opening of its community within the Moonlight at Maricopa master-planned community. The builder will deliver 105 homes in Moonlight at Maricopa as part of the master planned community’s initial phase, including 69 homes in the Sonoran collection and 36 homes in the Crescent collection. The total 11 floor plan options will include single- and two-story homes with three to five bedrooms and two to three-and-a-half bathrooms.
Homes range from approximately 1,252 to 2,946 square feet and feature open-concept living, flexible layouts and modern finishes inspired by the desert night sky. Master-planned community amenities include a resort-style pool, acres of parks and green spaces, firepits, covered picnic and gathering areas, a playground, pickleball courts, walking trails, sand volleyball and more. Prices start in the low $300,000s.

“Maricopa continues to attract families and professionals looking for more space, strong amenities and attainable homeownership options,” said Michael Fraley, Arizona division president of Oakwood Homes. “At Moonlight, we’re focused on delivering more home for the money, with thoughtfully designed floorplans that give buyers the space, comfort and value they’ve been looking for all set within a connected, welcoming neighborhood.”
Moonlight is less than 35 miles from downtown Phoenix and offers proximity to many metro-area employment centers. The master planned community feeds into the established and top-rated Maricopa Unified School District.
Prospective homebuyers will have access to competitive financing through Oakwood Homes’ preferred lender, Silverton Mortgage, and other programs offered by the company including cash toward closing, low down payment options and the Hometown Heroes discount program. The Oakwood Homes Homebuyers Club also provides free educational resources to help buyers prepare financially for homeownership and connects buyers with additional down payment assistance programs. In 2025, Oakwood Homes launched a homebuyer assistance program with the Arizona Industrial Development Authority’s HOME+Plus initiative to expand access to homeownership through below‑market fixed‑rate mortgages and down‑payment or closing‑cost assistance.
Oakwood Homes’ expansion into Moonlight marks its third community and fourth new home collection in Arizona. The company is currently offering affordably priced homes at Cross Creek Ranch in Coolidge and North Copper Canyon in Surprise.
