As your trusted real estate professional in the Phoenix metro area, I’ve watched Marlowe transform from concept to reality, breaking ground in March 2023 with the Glendale Chamber of Commerce celebrating its arrival with a ceremonial ribbon cutting. This strategic location in North Central Glendale places residents within minutes of world-class entertainment at Westgate Entertainment District, outdoor adventures at Lake Pleasant Regional Park, and the excitement of major league sports at State Farm Stadium.
The development’s position near the Loop 101 and Interstate 17 corridors provides exceptional connectivity throughout the Valley, while maintaining a peaceful residential atmosphere that families cherish. With homes ranging from 1,829 to 2,526 square feet and prices starting in the mid-$400,000s, Marlowe appeals to a diverse demographic—from young professionals seeking their first home to growing families needing room to expand, and empty nesters looking for modern, manageable luxury.

Every residence comes standard with energy-efficient designs that respect both the planet and your wallet, featuring money-saving innovations that promote healthier, more comfortable living.
The community’s central amenity complex showcases Landsea’s attention to lifestyle details with its thoughtfully designed park featuring covered playgrounds, great lawns, ramadas with picnic tables and grills, a bocce ball court, and dedicated dog park. This creates natural gathering spaces where neighbors become friends and children forge lifelong memories.
Marlowe’s architectural aesthetic reflects contemporary desert living with two-story designs that maximize both living space and natural light. The variety of floor plans—including the popular Christopher, Emerson, Fitzgerald, and Hawthorne models—ensures buyers can find the perfect layout to match their lifestyle needs. Options for studies, lofts, and downstairs bedrooms provide the flexibility modern families demand.
The timing of Marlowe’s development couldn’t be better, as the West Valley continues its transformation into one of Phoenix’s most desirable submarkets. With Arizona State University’s West campus nearby, major employers expanding their presence, and entertainment venues like the upcoming VAI Resort with Crystal Lagoon and Mattel Adventure Park on the horizon, property values in this corridor show strong appreciation potential.
