NexMetro Communities, a national leader of cottage-style build-to-rent (BTR) home neighborhoods, is opening Avilla Bella Camino, a new 229-home luxury rental community on 22 acres in San Tan Valley. The community is currently pre-leasing and will open to the public later this quarter.
Located near the intersection of Gantzel Road and Bella Vista Road, the gated community features a collection of single-level, mostly detached homes with one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from approximately 690 to 1,265 square feet. Avilla homes feature front porches and private backyards, high 10-foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances, full-size washer and dryer, Smart Home Technology, and wood-plank-style flooring.
The continued growth of the Southeast Valley, along with rising home prices and evolving lifestyle preferences, is driving demand for housing options that offer more space and privacy than traditional apartments.
“For a growing number of residents, renting is not a compromise; it is a strategic lifestyle choice that offers flexibility, convenience, and access to a high-quality home environment without the burdens of ownership,” said Jacque Petroulakis, chief communications officer at NexMetro. “Avilla Bella Camino delivers the space and privacy of a home with the simplicity and reliability of a professionally managed community.”
Community amenities include a resort-style pool, dog park, pet wash, tot lot, available EV-friendly garages, and landscaped open spaces designed to support both recreation and connection. The neighborhood also offers covered parking, a 24/7 maintenance team, and no breed or size restrictions for pets.
Avilla Bella Camino is ideally located near major employment corridors and regional destinations including Arizona State University’s Polytechnic campus, Gilbert Regional Park, Schnepf Farms and Queen Creek Olive Mill. The community also offers proximity to San Tan Mountain Regional Park, providing residents access to hiking, biking and outdoor recreation.
Designed to serve a range of residents, including families, young professionals and retirees, the community provides a neighborhood setting with modern features and flexible living options.
“By focusing on high-growth suburban locations, we align our communities with what residents value most: space, quality and lifestyle,” Petroulakis said.
Avilla Bella Camino is part of NexMetro’s growing portfolio of more than 60 communities completed or underway across the Sunbelt, including markets such as Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Denver, Tampa, and Atlanta. The company continues to expand in the Phoenix metro area, where demand for rental housing remains strong.
