Contemporary homes in SunRiver
SunRiver is composed of cul-de-sacs and winding roads of condos and single-family homes. The yards tend to be compact with a median lot size of 3,000 square feet, so backyards and driveways are sometimes on the smaller side, and houses sit close to one another. They’re landscaped to blend in with the area’s desert setting, often decorated with rocks, gravel and agave plants. The entire community was developed starting in the 2000s, so all the architecture is contemporary, and some buildings have a Mediterranean influence — tiled roofs and stucco exteriors. Condos range from $450,000 to $600,000, while single-family homes range from $350,000 to $750,000.
Single family homes are a popular choice in Sun River.
Foliage in Sun River is minimal but thoughtfully places throughout the neighborhood.
