Jasper 7

Jasper 7 is ECCO Homes' most affordable offering inside the Jasper master-planned community, and it fills a gap in the Prescott Valley new construction market that I've been watching buyers struggle with for years. Under $500K for new construction in a community with resort-level amenities — that combination doesn't exist many places in Arizona above 5,000 feet elevation.

The 84-homesite neighborhood sits at the base of Glassford Hill, which gives you a sense of the setting: you're not looking at another roofline, you're looking at a regional landmark. All four floorplans are single-story, ranging from 1,281 to 1,958 square feet, each with a 2-3 car tandem garage. That single-story spec is deliberate — ECCO built Jasper 7 with active retirees and downsizers in mind, people who are done with stairs and want functional, efficient square footage at an elevation that actually keeps summers tolerable.

The J Club membership is optional for Jasper 7 residents, which is an important distinction from some other Jasper neighborhoods where it's bundled. If you want the lap pool, lounge pool, hot tub, five pickleball courts, tennis, bocce, fitness center, and fire pits — you add the J Club. If you'd rather keep monthly costs lower and stick with the base HOA (trails, dog park, 20+ community clubs, fiber internet), that's a real option. I think most buyers who tour the J Club end up adding it, but having the choice matters for budget planning.

Location details that matter for daily life: you're 15 minutes from downtown Prescott and Courthouse Square, close to the Prescott Valley Event Center, and about 100 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor. Fain Park and Glassford Hill's trail system are close for hiking and outdoor recreation. The commercial corridor on Highway 69 covers everything from Costco to medical care without a long drive.

This is the community I recommend most often to Phoenix-area buyers who are relocating to Prescott Valley and want to test the market at a lower price point without compromising on build quality or community infrastructure. The school district — Humboldt Unified — serves the neighborhood well for families. For retirees, the proximity to Dignity Health Yavapai Regional Medical Center is a practical consideration I always bring up.
