Homebuilder Q&A Series: Shea Homes

Alamar will boast over 30 uniquely designed parks, a new K-8 public school, and impressive recreational spaces that include a private pool, dog parks, ball fields, basketball courts, and outdoor gathering venues. And, in the heart of this dynamic community lies a quiet enclave of beautifully designed new homes created by our friends at Shea Homes.

Shea is one of the six premium homebuilders we’ve partnered with at Alamar and our next featured builder in the Alamar Homebuilder Q&A Series. We connected with Shea’s VP of Sales and Marketing, Ken Peterson, who gave us an inside look at Acclaim at Alamar.

What can homebuyers expect from your product line at Alamar?

Shea Homes’ newest neighborhood, Acclaim at Alamar is set to bring a brand-new series of new homes to their flourishing community lineup. Located just north of the majestic Sierra Estrella Mountains in the vibrant city of Avondale, Acclaim offers the chance to live amongst some of Arizona’s stunning scenery.

Alamar continues Shea’s commitment to designing beautifully functional homes and communities for every life stage. The new homes of Acclaim at Alamar feature one- and two-story floorplans ranging from ~1,746 to 2,648 square feet, with three to five bedrooms. These gorgeous properties offer Spanish, Ranch, and Craftsman architectural styles, along with a streamlined design process thanks to on-site interior selections and finishes.

Can you elaborate on some of the available features within your floorplans at Alamar?

Inside the homes, a wide range of features await you. With granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, the kitchen may just become your favorite area of the whole house. Acclaim homes also feature dual glazed windows to keep the heat out, and the cool in, which can be instrumental in lovely Arizona summers. The bathrooms include Moen chrome accessories, double sinks in master baths, and medicine cabinets with frameless mirrored doors. Outside, you’ll find front yard landscaping, tumbled pavers on the driveway and walkways, decorative exterior coach lights, and SheaConnect™ smart home technology throughout.

What would you say are the differentiators that set Alamar apart from other communities in the Valley?

Retail stores, restaurants, golf courses, and all kinds of entertainment—including Spring Training facilities—are just minutes away. When the great outdoors are calling, Alamar has miles of trails to explore on foot or bike, along with the natural beauty of Estrella Mountain Regional Park just seven miles away. Best of all, Alamar offers a culture of connection, with community events, clubs, and programs that bring people together and foster deep-rooted friendships.

For those who may not be familiar, tell us about Shea Homes and what you’re known for.

It’s many details that set a Shea home apart. Locations are focused to be convenient, whether you need to quickly run to the store, or you’re heading into the city for a night out. When it comes to construction, outstanding craftsmanship comes with a commitment to quality starting back in 1881, when the Shea Family of Companies was first founded. And, since people don’t use their living spaces in the same way they did so many years ago, Shea is always improving and innovating to meet customers’ current needs. Outside the home, they are passionately committed to providing positive customer experiences and value each homeowner like they are a member of their extended family.

With homes available now, Alamar will be hustling and bustling in no time. With a short 15-20 minute commute into Downtown Phoenix, Alamar offers a home away from the busy city, while still being within a quick drive.
