Overview
Terramar is one of the North Peoria's most family-friendly communities — a mature, non-gated master plan with its own elementary and middle school inside the community. Continental Homes and Meritage built most of the inventory in the 2000s.
Lifestyle & amenities
The Terramar community center anchors the neighborhood with a resort pool, splash pad, fitness room, and event space. Add parks, sport courts, and walking paths — plus a walk-to-school factor that most 85383 communities can't match.
Homes & builders
Expect single-story and two-story homes from Continental, Meritage, and Beazer, mostly 2,000–3,500 sq ft on standard lots. Architecture is Tuscan and desert-contemporary with mature landscaping.
