Legacy Place in Glendale and Peoria: What's Built, What's Next

What are the floor plans for Legacy Place Phase 2 by Shea Homes?

Phase 2 floor plans have not been released, because Phase 2 is not yet at the stage where plans exist publicly. The Glendale Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat for Legacy Place Phase 2 at the southeast corner of 75th and Northern avenues in September 2025 — that is a land-entitlement step, not a home-design step. What you can shop today are the collections already selling inside Legacy Place, and they come from more than one builder.

There is a second thing worth clearing up before you shop. Legacy Place is a Shea Homes master plan, but Shea is the master developer here, not the only homebuilder. The community spans two cities — parts sit in Glendale, parts in Peoria — and the vertical builders inside it include Shea Homes alongside Meritage Homes and K. Hovnanian. So "floor plans by Shea Homes at Legacy Place" is really several different questions depending on which collection you mean. At this stage, I help buyers figure out which builder and which side of the city line they are actually shopping, because that single distinction changes the floor plans, the price point, and the school assignment.

What Is Legacy Place and Where Is It?

Legacy Place is a multi-phase, multi-city master plan developed by Shea Homes on the Glendale–Peoria border, near 75th to 79th avenues and Northern Avenue, just east of Loop 101. The master plan is laid out in five phases, with several of them north of Northern Avenue.

Two things make Legacy Place unusual for the area. First, it is genuinely rare: new single-family subdivisions are scarce in built-up parts of Glendale and Peoria, where most land was developed decades ago. Second, it is an infill location rather than an edge-of-metro one — you are buying new construction inside an established part of the West Valley rather than at the growth frontier. That means shorter drives to existing employment and retail than most new communities offer, and it also means you are surrounded by neighborhoods that were built long before yours.

For daily life, Legacy Place sits near Glendale's Westgate Entertainment District, State Farm Stadium, and Desert Diamond Arena, with Loop 101 access close by and Grand Avenue running northwest toward Peoria and southeast toward Phoenix.

Which Builders Are Selling at Legacy Place Right Now?

Legacy Place currently has collections from Shea Homes, Meritage Homes, and K. Hovnanian, and they are marketed under different community names rather than under one Legacy Place banner — which is why the community can be hard to research.

Shea Homes sells Ascent at Legacy Place and Manor at Legacy Place, both marketed with Peoria addresses. Meritage Homes sells a Legacy Place collection marketed as Glendale. K. Hovnanian sells Chalet at Legacy Place, also marketed as Glendale. If you have been searching one builder's site and concluding that Legacy Place is smaller or more limited than it is, that is why.

When you are shopping a multi-builder master plan like Legacy Place, four things are worth pinning down before you fall for a model home:

• Which city you are actually in: Legacy Place spans Glendale and Peoria, and the city line affects your municipal services and your property tax detail.
• Which school district serves the address: Do not assume the district from the community name. Confirm the assigned schools for the specific lot, and check the Arizona Department of Education report cards and GreatSchools yourself for any school you are considering.
• Which builder's collection you are touring: Floor plans, included features, and lot widths differ meaningfully between the Shea, Meritage, and K. Hovnanian collections.
• What phase your lot sits in: Legacy Place is multi-phase, so the lot you buy determines how long you live near ongoing construction.

That third point deserves emphasis. Buyers routinely compare a base price from one builder against a fully optioned model from another and conclude one is cheaper. Comparing collections only works when you compare the same specified home.

Where Legacy Place Phase 2 Actually Stands

Legacy Place Phase 2 in Glendale is entitled, not designed. The preliminary plat approved in September 2025 establishes lot layout and street configuration for the parcel at 75th and Northern — it does not establish which builder will build there, what the collections will be called, or what the floor plans will look like.

Between a preliminary plat and a model home opening sits final platting, engineering, infrastructure, and a builder's own design and pricing work. That sequence takes time, and the specifics change along the way. Anyone publishing Phase 2 floor plans today is either describing a different phase or guessing.

What I watch for here is a buyer holding out for a phase that has no timeline while collections they would genuinely like are selling now. If you want to be in Legacy Place, shop what is open and ask to be added to the interest list for later phases. Waiting for unreleased plans is not a strategy — it is a delay with no defined end.

Is New Construction at Legacy Place Right for You?

New construction at Legacy Place suits buyers who want a new home without moving to the metro edge, and it suits them less well if they need to move quickly or want an established streetscape. That trade-off is the real decision here, more than any floor plan comparison.

The case for it is location. Most new single-family construction in the Phoenix metro requires going further out, which buys square footage at the cost of drive time. Legacy Place lets you buy new inside a built-up part of the West Valley near Loop 101 and Westgate. That is a genuinely uncommon combination.

The case against it is the same case against most new construction. You are buying into a community still filling in, your yard and trees start from nothing, and build timelines mean you are not moving in next month unless you take standing inventory. If a shorter timeline and mature landscaping matter more to you than a new build, the surrounding established neighborhoods in Glendale and Peoria offer resale that competes well — a trade-off I work through in choosing between a new build and an established-community resale.

If you are weighing a builder-by-builder comparison inside one master plan, the same approach applies that I use in sorting through which builders are selling in a multi-builder Peoria community: narrow to two or three collections on plan fit before you tour, not after.

The Bottom Line on Legacy Place

If you came looking for Legacy Place Phase 2 floor plans, the useful answer is that they do not exist yet and the phase is at the entitlement stage in Glendale. The better use of your time is the part of Legacy Place that is selling today, across collections from Shea Homes, Meritage, and K. Hovnanian on both the Glendale and Peoria sides.

Pin down which city and school district your specific lot sits in, compare collections on equally specified homes rather than base prices, and understand which phase your lot belongs to before you sign. Legacy Place is a rare thing in this part of the West Valley — new single-family construction inside an established area — and that is a real advantage. It is just not a reason to wait for a phase nobody can describe yet.
