Stella Apartments Coming to San Tan Valley 2024

San Tan Valley is poised for some changes with the announcement of a new apartment community, Stella, developed by Thompson Thrift. As our community has grown, so has the demand for various types of housing. While some residents express concerns over increased congestion, others see this as an opportunity for more affordable living options in the area.

Stella, located near North Gary Road and West Hunt Highway on a 20-acre site, will consist of 308 apartment units across 12 buildings. Thompson Thrift, a real estate company known nationally for multifamily developments, has shared their plans for the Class A community, slated to begin construction this month, and welcoming residents in late 2024.

Apartment Amenities

The apartments at Stella will feature a range of amenities. The interiors are planned to have quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood-style flooring, and options for patios or private yards. In addition, the units are expected to include smart thermostats, high-speed internet access, and Alexa-compatible smart hubs.

Community Amenities

Within the community, Stella will offer a resort-style swimming pool, outdoor entertainment kitchen, community grilling areas, and two dog parks. Additionally, a fully-equipped fitness center and a pickleball court are among the amenities planned.

The development will also be in close proximity to retail options such as Starbucks, Walmart Supercenter, and various fast-food outlets. For outdoor enthusiasts, the San Tan Mountain Regional Park is situated two miles west of the property.

Mixed Reactions from the Community

As with any development, there are mixed feelings among the residents of San Tan Valley. Some community members are concerned about the potential increase in traffic and congestion. They worry that adding a large apartment complex might strain the existing infrastructure.

On the other hand, others see Stella as a potentially more affordable living option in a housing market that has been increasingly challenging for many. The addition of rental units may offer alternatives for those who find themselves priced out of the homeowner's market.

It's important that as a community, San Tan Valley weighs the pros and cons and engages in constructive dialogue. Thompson Thrift's project is progressing and it remains to be seen how it will impact the area.

SanTanValley.com will undoubtedly keep an eye on the development of Stella, and it's essential for residents to stay informed and communicate their concerns and hopes for the future of our community.
