Dorado at Verde Santa Fe sits in Cornville, Arizona, and offers low-maintenance, single-family homes designed for comfort, with 96 homes ranging from 1,302 to 2,125 square feet, almost all having two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms, sometimes with a den or office that can work as a third bedroom, and all with attached two-car garages and nice features like walk-in closets, fireplaces, open floor plans, and all-tile flooring, plus some homes lying on large double lots next to the Coconino National Forest, giving quiet and privacy, and some with mountain views of Mingus Mountain or even views of the Agave Highlands Golf Course, so you do get plenty of scenery, and if you like the outdoors, there are walking and biking trails through tree-lined streets, mature shade trees in the yards, big patios, an outdoor hot tub, pavers in the driveways or courtyards, and easy-care landscaping with sprinkler and drip systems to keep things green-plus the homes are built on slab foundations in a Southwestern style and come with upgrades like new air conditioning units, double-glazed windows with screens and drapes, insulated garage doors, a water softener system, and a new washer and dryer.
This place serves adults 55 and over and has age restrictions, security like smoke detectors, and a 24-hour call system for safety, and the whole community is gated with central air, natural gas heating, and ceiling fans for comfort, so it's both safe and comfortable, and with only a six-resident community, it's small and homey-there's housekeeping, laundry, meal prep by a professional chef, plus all-day dining with options for special diets and diabetes meal plans if needed, and someone helps with bathing, dressing, medication, and move-in coordination, so folks who need a hand don't have to worry, and you've got all the usual senior care support services like assisted living, memory care, nursing, independent living, respite, and continuing retirement care.
For activities, there's plenty to do, with a big clubhouse called Amante Clubhouse that has a pool, spa, BBQ area, rooms for card or billiards games, a lounge, computer room, library, plus a restaurant, catering kitchen, outdoor patio, and event and club spaces, so you can join in for wine socials, potlucks, BBQs, seasonal parties, and resident-run events or clubs, and there's an onsite fitness center, arts and crafts room, games room, activity and community rooms, and a well-kept 18-hole golf course so golf lovers and social folks have options, and the pool and spa are available along with outdoor common spaces and walking paths, with plenty of scheduled activities, movie nights, and chances to get to know neighbors; Wi-Fi is available throughout, so staying connected isn't a hassle.
There's easy parking and transportation services, space for guests, and you're close to five hospitals and nine places of worship, as well as nearby cafes, pharmacies, and restaurants for when you want to get out, and homes here are only available on resale, so buyers work with local real estate agents and property managers, and the community provides plenty of information about both the homes and the neighborhoods, since some homes are rentals and they help people compare property types and features, and the resale focus means properties always match what's available in local MLS listings.
All in all, Dorado at Verde Santa Fe caters to adults who want a simple life in a small, friendly, and secure gated neighborhood that feels established but offers plenty of ways to stay active, social, and comfortable, and the mountain scenery, golf, and clubhouse amenities round things out, so it's a solid choice for those who like Southwest living and want options for both independence and care if needs change down the road.
