Welcome to Desert Ridge

 
 
Desert Ridge offers some of the most desirable Phoenix real estate available. Desert Ridge’s coveted location is second to none because the area is surrounded by the Sonoran Desert, but has immediate access to the Loop 101 and 51 Freeways. Desert Ridge Marketplace is located at the south end of the community. This outdoor shopping complex is a residential favorite as it has over 110 stores and restaurants spread over 1.2 million square feet of retail space.
 
The marketplace’s urban streetscape environment makes the area feel like an entertainment destination. There’s something for everyone, whether it’s catching a movie at the AMC Desert Ridge 18, a 4,000-seat stadium-style theater, or having dinner at one of the many restaurants The District has to offer. Strolling in The District is a treat for the senses because there’s so much to see. From fountains, fireplaces, video screens, a stage that hosts a variety of live performances, a children’s play area, and a Splash Pad, there’s always something to look at.
