The Organization

Tonto Verde — Something for Everyone!

The natural beauty is the mountains and surrounding Sonoran Desert; but the real beauty is our people. There is a friendliness in our community, embracing newcomers and creating environments and activities that are inclusive. With 700+ homes, Tonto Verde is large enough to be cost effective yet small enough to foster friendships, creating that true sense of community where you know you belong.

Our gorgeous Santa Fe-style Community Clubhouse is the social hub of the community. The clubhouse features the award-winning Mesquite Grill, one of the top al fresco dining spots in the nation. Also included are the state-of-the-art fitness center, bocce courts, a volunteer operated library and the Olympic-size heated pool.

Tonto Verde recently opened a new Community Park which features pickleball, restrooms and grass-covered dog parks for our canine friends large or small. There is also an 18-hole natural grass putting course available to residents, regardless of whether you join the Tonto Verde Golf Club.

Cycling and walking are very popular and why not? We have a dedicated walking and wagging trail with several entrances and a spectacular THREE MILLION Acre backyard. Tonto Verde has a private entrance to The Tonto National Forest and McDowell Mountain Regional Park which offer elevation changes from 1,300 to 7,900 feet and miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

The lakes, rivers, trout streams and desert canyons of the Tonto National Forest offer outstanding recreational opportunities throughout the year. Community amenities are owned by the residents. There are two great golf courses offered by Tonto Verde Club, the Peaks and the Ranch, for which membership is separate but not required of all residents.
