Craving golf, trails, and mountain air without giving up daily conveniences? If you are weighing a move to Prescott Valley, StoneRidge likely sits on your short list. You want a clear picture of the homes, amenities, HOA rules, and what day-to-day life feels like before you decide. This guide lays out the facts so you can see whether StoneRidge is a fit for your lifestyle, budget, and timeline. Let’s dive in.
Where StoneRidge sits
Big-picture location and climate
StoneRidge is a master-planned community in southwest Prescott Valley at roughly 5,200 feet, marketed for its high-desert and mountain climate. The developer describes an 1,800 to 2,000 acre plan with on-site golf, trails, and amenities, while the community association notes 1,100 plus existing homes. You will also see StoneRidge promoted for mountain views and proximity to regional trail systems and Prescott National Forest. Review a specific lot’s orientation and map if views or trail access are priorities. Explore the community overview and setting.
Drives and travel
Most shopping and services sit along State Route 69 just minutes from the neighborhood. For air travel, Prescott Regional Airport is the closest regional option, about 9 miles from Prescott Valley, which makes quick trips simple for many residents. Check the PRC-to-Prescott Valley drive distance. Plan on a longer drive for Phoenix or Scottsdale airport runs and big-city errands, which many buyers reserve for occasional trips.
Homes and builders in StoneRidge
Home types and styles
StoneRidge includes a broad mix: production single-family homes, patio or townhome products, and larger custom or estate properties. Architectural styles you will see include Mediterranean or Tuscan, Pueblo or Santa Fe influences, and contemporary ranch plans. Many streets feature sidewalks and desert-forward landscaping for a low-maintenance look. There is also a gated enclave known as Unit 8, along with other sub-neighborhoods that feature different price and amenity tiers.
Price ranges and lot sizes
Recent market snapshots show a wide spread:
- Smaller single-level plans and townhomes often start in the low to mid hundreds of thousands and extend through the 300 to 500 thousand range depending on age and finish.
- Move-up single-family homes commonly land in the mid 400s to 900s, varying by size, upgrades, lot, and views.
- Custom or view lots and estate builds can exceed 1 million for premium sites and finishes. Lot sizes vary. Many production sections favor smaller, low-maintenance yards, while custom or newer phases may offer larger lots with more separation. Always compare recent MLS comps on the same block or with a similar view corridor to get accurate pricing for your shortlist.
New construction options
New-home phases have been delivered under the community’s builder platform in waves, and additional phases and resale opportunities come to market regularly. If you want a new build, expect model tours, design center options, and phase-dependent timelines for delivery. The developer site is the best place to start for current phase context.
Amenities and lifestyle
Golf and clubhouse
Golf is a central draw. StoneRidge features an 18-hole daily-fee course with a pro shop, tournament programming, and clubhouse dining at the Prescott Club. If you want golf at your doorstep or a built-in social hub, this is a standout feature. See course and clubhouse details.
Pools, fitness, and courts

HOA essentials to verify
Fees and sub-associations

The community association publishes manager contact information and a resident portal where you can request documents.
Key documents to request

- Board meeting minutes. This reveals planned projects, disputes, or litigation.
- Rental policy. Confirm whether short-term rentals are allowed or restricted and what lease minimums apply.
- Tax and assessment checks. Ask about any road, sewer, or special-assessment district charges that appear on the tax bill.
Common rules to review closely
Parking rules and RV or boat storage, exterior paint and landscape standards, guest and lease limits, and coverage details for amenities can differ by sub-association. Confirm what applies to the specific parcel so expectations are clear.
