Staffed by Estrella residents, the New Home Information Center is designed to offer potential residents insider insights into what life is like in the vibrant, Goodyear master-planned community. The Community Representatives provide information about Estrella’s builders, amenities and local attractions.

In today’s spotlight, get to know Estrella resident and Community Representative: Erin.

Number of years as a Community Rep:
I’ve been a community representative for two years.

What is your favorite thing about being a Community Rep:
I enjoy meeting new people. There’s a special sparkle and wonder in their eyes as they are exploring all that Estrella has to offer. I’m proud to say that I live here, and love raising my family here as well. I think people appreciate that we give a firsthand account of what it’s like to live in Estrella.

Common questions you get when people come to visit:
What does Estrella have to offer? People want to know what’s out here, if there’s an HOA and what type of amenities are available. A lot of guests want to know more about the surrounding area and how close are we to various places around the Valley.

How long have you been a resident in the Estrella community?
I have lived in the Montecito village of Estrella for two years.

What is your favorite thing about your Village?
I love the Mediterranean architecture on the homes. The Spanish Hacienda look is our favorite.

Are you an Arizona native or a transplant?
I am from the frozen tundra of Wisconsin, and have happily traded my winter boots, mittens, and scarves for sunshine, cacti, and palm trees.

What is your favorite Estrella amenity?
I love the lakes. Being from the Midwest, a desert landscape is vastly different than what I’m used to, and the lakes are a great feature of living in Estrella. My husband and children love to kayak, and I enjoy watching incredible sunsets from the pier – they never disappoint! As the sun dips below the horizon, the clouds glow and the water echoes nature’s perfect painting.

Tell us three things about the Estrella master-planned community that most people don’t know:
1. Estrella is 20,000 acres. We’re big! Expect to see continued growth throughout the community.
2. Coming in at number 17, we’ve been rated as one of the top master-planned communities in the United States. That’s pretty impressive!
3. We have two lakes. A lot of people see just North Lake and don’t realize the South Lake is there too.

The Information Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and residents should feel free to stop by to say hello to the team, enjoy a cup of coffee and take in the beautiful lakeside views.
