About Heritage Palms

Heritage Palms is a master-planned, 24-hour manned, guard-gated 55+ community consisting of approximately 1,004 homes, built between 1996 and 2006 by U.S. Home Corporation and Lennar. The community spans roughly 379 acres and is comprised primarily of single-family detached homes, along with a smaller number of one- and two-story condominium residences.

Most homes are single-story and thoughtfully designed for easy desert living. Many residences are located along the golf course, where yards tend to be smaller and more open in feel. Golf course homes typically do not have a whole-block or gated yard enclosure, though a low wall option is often used for pets. Homes located along the community perimeter generally offer more private yards. Still, they may be subject to some street noise from nearby roadways such as Fred Waring Drive, Jefferson Street, or Miles Avenue.

Resort-Style Amenities

Heritage Palms offers a welcoming, resort-style atmosphere highlighted by lush green landscaping, well-maintained common areas, and an active social environment. The community is divided into North and South sections, with Fred Waring Drive serving as the divider.

A single 18-hole championship golf course weaves throughout both sections of the community. The main clubhouse and amenity center are located south of Fred Waring, and residents in the North section can conveniently access the clubhouse via an underground golf cart tunnel or by car.

All homeowners enjoy full access to the community’s amenities through their monthly HOA dues.
