CantaMia at Estrella Homes & Community Guide — Goodyear, AZ
CantaMia at Estrella is a gated, active-adult (55+) community of roughly 1,700 single-level homes in Goodyear, set inside the larger Estrella master-planned community in the southwest Valley. Its hub is a 29,000-square-foot Village Center reserved for CantaMia residents, and homeowners also have access to Estrella’s community-wide amenities. Because CantaMia sits inside a master plan, most homes carry two HOA assessments — a CantaMia sub-association fee plus the Estrella master fee — so it’s worth understanding the full cost before you buy. Taylor Morrison is still building new homes here, alongside an active resale market.

What does it cost to own in CantaMia?
CantaMia sits inside the Estrella master-planned community, and that shapes the cost. Most homes carry two HOA assessments: a CantaMia sub-association fee — funding the gates and the 29,000-square-foot Village Center and its CantaMia-only amenities — plus the Estrella master HOA fee that covers the wider community’s lakes, parks, and trails. Recent public listings have shown the CantaMia portion in the low-$200s per month and the Estrella master portion around $125, but both adjust annually, and builder contracts disclose them differently than resale. There’s also an optional piece: using Estrella’s Starpointe and Presidio Residents’ Clubs requires a separate annual pass through the Estrella HOA. Rather than quote figures that may be out of date, we’ll pull the current, all-in number for any specific home — ask us, or confirm with the CantaMia and Estrella associations. Confirm all amounts in escrow.
What sets CantaMia apart
- A private Village Center. The 29,000-square-foot Village Center — indoor lap pool, outdoor resort pool, whirlpool spa, a fitness center with an aerobics studio, locker rooms with steam rooms, and club spaces — is reserved for CantaMia residents.
- Two layers of amenities. Behind the gates is the CantaMia center; outside them, residents can use Estrella’s community amenities — the lakes (with kayaks and paddle boats), 65+ miles of paths, and 50+ parks.
- Single-level, still building. Roughly 1,700 single-level homes from about 1,189 to 2,852 square feet; Taylor Morrison continues to build new homes alongside resale.
- Waterfront lots. The community is laid out around lakes and water channels, so some homes back to water; those lots typically carry a premium.
Who is CantaMia a good fit for?
Active adults who want a single-level home with a private amenity center plus access to a larger master plan’s lakes and trails; buyers who want new construction or recent resale in the southwest Valley; and golfers (the Golf Club of Estrella is nearby). Households must meet the 55+ age requirement.
What homes and amenities does CantaMia have?
Homes are single-level single-family, roughly 1,189–2,852 square feet, with some waterfront lots.
