**What models are open at Saddleback in north Peoria right now?**

**As of August 2026, Taylor Morrison is the only builder with model homes open and actively selling at Saddleback — six models across three collections in the Saltbrush village. Lennar opens its model complex this month. Camelot Homes, Toll Brothers, and David Weekley Homes have lots at Saddleback but have not released homes for sale yet.**

Saddleback moves fast enough that anything written about it needs a date on it. This is a 5,300-acre master plan in north Peoria that went from groundbreaking to first move-ins in under two years, and the builder lineup has shifted more than once along the way. If you searched this question, you are probably deciding whether it is worth driving up Vistancia Boulevard this weekend or waiting until there is more to see. That answer depends on which price point you are shopping and how much choice you want. This is usually where I slow buyers down, because "what is open" and "what is worth touring" are two different questions, and the second one is the one that actually protects your money.

## Which Builders Are Selling at Saddleback in Peoria Right Now?

Taylor Morrison is selling at Saddleback today and Lennar joins this month, which means that for most of August 2026 a buyer touring Saddleback in north Peoria is choosing between two builders, not five. Taylor Morrison and Lennar together purchased the first lots in Saltbrush, Saddleback's inaugural village, and are building the first 572 homes between them. Everything else you have read about Saddleback's builder roster is real but not yet shoppable.

| Builder at Saddleback | Status                           | What They Are Building                                                    |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Taylor Morrison       | Selling now — six models open    | Three collections in Saltbrush, close to 20 layouts with flexible options |
| Lennar                | Model complex opening this month | 289 homes in Saltbrush, roughly 1,800 to 3,200 square feet                |
| Camelot Homes         | Not selling yet                  | 19 gated homes at Long Canyon Reserve on roughly third-acre lots          |
| Toll Brothers         | Not selling yet                  | Single-story collections across Long Canyon and Blue Basin                |
| David Weekley Homes   | Models under construction        | Copper Ridge and Trailmark, single-level plans                            |

## What Taylor Morrison Has Open in Saltbrush at Saddleback

Taylor Morrison opened six model homes at Saddleback this summer, organized into three collections that span a wide price range for a single builder in one north Peoria village. With flexible floor plan options layered on top, the three collections come to close to twenty distinct layouts, running from the mid-$400Ks into the high-$700Ks as of August 2026.

The detail worth driving up for is the multigenerational product. Several Taylor Morrison plans at Saddleback include a private second suite with its own exterior entrance, and one plan can be built out with a full second kitchen. That is not a standard offering across north Peoria, and if you are moving a parent out here or planning for adult kids to land at home for a stretch, it changes which community makes your short list. What I watch for here is whether a buyer needs that second suite on day one or in five years, because the plans that support it are not evenly distributed across the collections and the ones that do sell through fastest.

## What Lennar Is Bringing to Saddleback This Month

Lennar's model complex at Saddleback opens in August 2026 across 289 homesites in the Saltbrush village, with 14 designs running roughly 1,800 to 3,200 square feet and starting in the mid-$500Ks. Several of those designs include Lennar's Next Gen suite — again, a separate living area with its own entrance, intended for multigenerational households.

Practically, Lennar opening is the first moment Saddleback becomes a real comparison shop instead of a single-builder decision. Until now, a buyer who liked the land but not the Taylor Morrison floor plan had no second option inside Saddleback. That changes this month, and it also changes negotiating posture — two builders competing for the same north Peoria buyer in the same village behave differently than one.

## Which Saddleback Builders Have Not Released Homes Yet

Camelot Homes, Toll Brothers, and David Weekley Homes all hold lots at Saddleback in north Peoria, but none of the three is taking contracts as of August 2026\. Camelot is planned for 19 gated homes at Long Canyon Reserve, running roughly 3,000 to 5,500 square feet on about third-acre lots in the low-to-mid seven figures. Toll Brothers and David Weekley are splitting roughly 200 lots between Long Canyon and Blue Basin, Saddleback's second village. David Weekley has broken ground on models; the community's own materials point to 2027 for that next wave of releases, and David Weekley has not published a sales opening date.

If your budget or your floor plan lives in that later group, the useful move right now is not to keep refreshing builder websites. It is to get on the list through someone who will hear about a release before it is posted. I track the phase and builder announcements across north Peoria — Saddleback, [Northpointe at Vistancia](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/northpointe-vistancia-phase-resale-vs-later-phase-new-build-peoria-az/), [Aloravita](https://blog.chavezdreamhometeam.com/tri-pointe-pulte-aloravita-peoria-new-homes-timeline/), and the rest — and I am glad to flag the ones that fit what you are looking for. Reach out and tell me the plan type and price band, and you will hear from me when it opens rather than after.

## Why You Should Bring an Agent Before You Register at a Saddleback Sales Office

Register at a Saddleback sales office without naming your agent first, and most builders will treat you as an unrepresented buyer for that community from then on — which means you negotiate the builder's contract, the lot premium, the inspection, and the walkthrough alone. This is the single most expensive avoidable mistake at a brand-new north Peoria community, and it happens at the front desk in about fifteen seconds.

Builder purchase contracts in Arizona are the builder's own paper, not the AAR Residential Resale Purchase Contract most buyers have seen before. The ten-day inspection period, the earnest money terms, and the remedies you would expect from a resale transaction are not automatically there. Some builders push back on an independent third-party inspection. Having representation from the first visit is how you keep those protections on the table.

Bringing your agent costs you nothing at the sales office and does not slow the tour down. It just means someone is reading the contract with your interests in it.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Are model homes open at Saddleback in Peoria right now?**  
Yes. Taylor Morrison has six model homes open in the Saltbrush village as of August 2026, and Lennar's model complex opens this month. Other Saddleback builders have not released homes yet.

**What price range are homes at Saddleback in north Peoria?**  
As of August 2026, Taylor Morrison runs from the mid-$400Ks into the high-$700Ks and Lennar starts in the mid-$500Ks. Camelot's later Long Canyon Reserve collection is planned for the low-to-mid seven figures.

**Which village is selling first at Saddleback?**  
Saltbrush is Saddleback's inaugural village and the only one currently selling. Blue Basin and Long Canyon are planned to follow with additional builders.

**Can I tour Saddleback without an agent?**  
You can, but registering at the sales office without naming your agent first generally means you are treated as unrepresented at that community going forward. Bring your agent to the first visit.

**Does Saddleback have a golf course?**  
No. The property was originally entitled decades ago with three golf courses, and the current developer removed them from the plan in favor of open space and trails.

## The Bottom Line

Saddleback in north Peoria is genuinely open for business, but "open" currently means one builder with six models and a second builder arriving this month. That is enough to know whether the land and the location are right for you, and it is not yet enough to see the full range of what Saddleback will offer. If your price point and floor plan are sitting with Taylor Morrison or Lennar, this is a real decision you can make now. If you are waiting on Camelot, Toll Brothers, or David Weekley, the useful step is getting on a list rather than watching websites. Either way, decide who is representing you before you sign in at that front desk — that part does not get easier later.
