Anthem Master Planned Community Arizona

Distance from downtown: 34 miles

Developed by Del Webb in 1999, Anthem features a community center, parks, schools, shopping, a business center, and a golf course and country club.

Anthem's parks offer everything from a kid-sized train to a rock-climbing wall to a four-acre fishing lake. There is also the Big Splash Water Park, featuring a leisure pool, tot pool and a 25-meter, eight-lane lap pool.

Anthem School and Gavilan Peak School serve the community's K-8 students. A new high school is scheduled to open in 2004.

Residents also enjoy the Sonoran Desert - nearly one-third of Anthem's acreage is devoted to natural open space and recreation areas.
