Trovas

This lovely 134 home community was developed by a highly respected local builder, Coventry Homes. The formal entry to the community is through an elaborate and artfully designed electronic gate that was created exclusively for the community by local artist Joe Tyler. The community is located at the base of the McDowell Mountains and borders the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The setting provides both magnificent views and a peaceful retreat for residents. Those lots that border The Preserve offer extraordinary privacy.

When the community was first offered for sale, there were eight different models to choose from ranging in size from 2,600 square feet to 4,102 square feet. Seven of the models were single-story designs and one was a multi-level plan. All of the homes in Trovas featured three car garages.

About the Building

Coventry Homes eventually became a part of the Del Webb Family of Builders, a national real estate company headquartered in Phoenix which has been constructing residential housing since 1928. It is generally considered to be the nation’s premier builder of active adult communities. Some of its better known developments are Sun City, Terravita and the Anthem Community in New River.

In McDowell Mountain Ranch, Coventry/Del Webb was the builder of the highly respected communities of Trovas and Sienna Canyon. In May of 2001, the Del Webb Corporation merged with Pulte Homes of Bloomfield, Michigan.
