Where it sits

The shape of 85086.

  1. 01

    Anthem is an unincorporated community and not a city — the Anthem Community Council states it therefore does not manage public services the way a town or city would — although the community's western portion lies inside Phoenix city limits.

  2. 02

    Streets and street signs in Anthem's Parkside area (other than The Landing) are maintained by Maricopa County for east-side residents and by the City of Phoenix for west-side residents, so the ZIP spans two street-maintenance jurisdictions.

  3. 03

    Anthem Community Park, 41703 N. Gavilan Peak Parkway, covers 63 acres and includes an amphitheater, a skate park, catch-and-release fishing lakes, pickleball courts and the Anthem Veterans Memorial; it is owned and maintained by the Anthem Community Council.

  4. 04

    The Anthem Veterans Memorial, dedicated in 2011 and located in Anthem Community Park, is built so that at 11:11 a.m. each November 11 the sun's rays pass through ellipses in its five Armed Services pillars to form a solar spotlight on a glass mosaic of the Great Seal of the United States.

  5. 05

    Boulder Creek High School, 40404 N Gavilan Peak Parkway, Anthem, AZ 85086, is a comprehensive high school of Deer Valley Unified School District No. 97.

  6. 06

    Fire and emergency medical service is provided by the Daisy Mountain Fire & Medical District, formed in 1989, which serves Anthem, Black Canyon City, Cave Creek, Desert Hills and New River and has stations at 41018 N. Daisy Mountain Drive, Anthem, AZ 85086 and 1120 W. Desert Hills Road, Desert Hills, AZ 85086.

  7. 07

    Anthem was developed by Del Webb starting in 1998 as a master-planned community, and the Anthem census-designated place recorded a population of 23,190 in the 2020 census.

A single ZIP-wide median is a starting point rather than a guide to any particular street, so it is worth looking at comparable sales close to the address you are considering.
What school district serves 85086?
Deer Valley Unified District serves most of ZIP code 85086 — it is the district listed on 100% of homes sold over the past year. The high school most often listed is Boulder Creek High School. District boundaries do not follow ZIP boundaries, so confirm the assignment for a specific address before relying on it.
How much do manufactured homes cost in 85086?
Manufactured and mobile homes are a distinct market here, and ZIP code 85086 has a sizeable one: 2% of sales, at a median of $500,000 across 17 sales. Site-built homes are counted separately, at $625,000. The two are not directly comparable — many manufactured homes sit on leased land, so the price covers the home and not the ground under it.
Is 85086 served by APS or SRP?
APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85086. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85086 in a flood zone?
Parts of it are, which is true of most of the Phoenix valley — the desert washes that carry monsoon runoff are mapped as high-hazard even where they cross otherwise dry ground. ZIP code 85086 contains FEMA zones A, AE, AE (Floodway), AO. That says nothing about any particular house: most homes in these ZIPs sit outside the mapped areas. A lender will require flood insurance only if the property itself is inside one, so the check that matters is on the address, not the ZIP.
What ZIP codes border 85086?
ZIP code 85086 borders 85024, 85083, 85085, 85087, 85331, and 85383.
