Neighborhoods
Verrado's townhouses and single-family residences radiate from the Main Street District.{{cite web |url=https://verrado.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Residential-Design-Guidelines.pdf#page=11 |title=Residential Design Guidelines for Verrado |author= |date=7 August 2015 |website=verrado.com |publisher=Verrado Community Association, Inc |access-date=12 March 2020 |quote=}} The design of these neighborhoods was based on that of American neighborhoods of the early twentieth century, including those of nearby Phoenix's historic districts. Some homes feature garages that are accessed from a rear alley rather than from the street to provide for a more traditional street-scape. Neighborhood amenities include a community center, a swim park, a golf course, 78 community parks, a dog park, and 21 miles of paths and hiking trails.{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Verrado&action=submit |title=Eastmark, Verrado and Vistancia stand out in master-plan crowd |last=Burks |first=Steve |date=20 May 2018 |website=azbigmedia.com |publisher=AZ Big Media |access-date=20 March 2020 |quote=}}
