Terramar

Terramar is North Peoria's under-the-radar move-up community — semi-custom homes by Ashton Woods on the kind of generous lots that are getting harder to find as newer plans shrink.

Built from 1999 onward and now fully established, it trades the raw feel of new construction for mature trees, settled streets, and neighbors who stay. The floor plans are the draw: homes here start around 2,789 square feet and stretch past 5,000, so growing families and buyers stepping up from their first home get real, usable space — not just bedroom count.

With an average list price near $660K, Terramar sits in a sweet spot: more home and more lot than many entry communities, without pushing into luxury-tier pricing. It's served by the Peoria Unified School District and sits close to North Peoria shopping, dining, and freeway access.

Inventory is resale-only, and the best combinations of lot size, layout, and updates go quickly. This is a community where knowing values street-by-street matters — Stephanie can tell you which homes are priced on emotion and which are the genuine buys before you fall for the first pretty kitchen.

Schools: Peoria Unified School District; confirm assigned elementary, middle, and high schools by address.

HOA & Fees: Terramar HOA; generally lower-maintenance and established. Verify current dues.

Market Snapshot: Average list price near $660,000; larger lots and square footage per dollar drive steady move-up demand.
