Thirty miles due north of Downtown Phoenix on Interstate 17, Anthem is a suburban community positioned right where the cityscape gives way to the natural beauty of the surrounding desert. The city is quite a recent development, having been master-planned and built starting in the late 1990s. Anthem has rapidly earned a reputation as one of the best communities in the region for families, with high-performing public schools, ample community parks and sports facilities, and a low crime rate.
While the majority of the area is made up of residential neighborhoods, numerous shopping centers can be found northwest of Anthem Community Park, including the popular Outlets at Anthem. The location is ideal for commuters while also offering convenient access to Lake Prescott and Tonto National Forest for weekend excursions.
