History
In 1993, Tatum Ranch was cited by the Central Arizona Homebuilders’ Association as the Valley’s “best master planned community”. More than 20 years later, Tatum Ranch is still an excellent choice when looking for a residence in northeast Phoenix. The success of this community is partially due to the strict environmental preservation guidelines put in place by its developer, SunCor Development Company. SunCor’s aim was to retain the natural beauty of the area 1,400 acres of premium desert land. The program was designed to seamlessly incorporate existing vegetation and regional wildlife into the community. This was achieved through extensive xeriscaping. The environmental preservation guidelines for Tatum Ranch homes have evolved into the standards used by other developers in the valley, and add to the community’s unique desert charm.
