“We had such an incredible response to our first Aviva community that we knew we had achieved something special and that it was a model worth replicating nationally, beginning with the Phoenix market,” said HTG President and CEO Matthew A. Rieger. “There’s tremendous appetite right now for eco-friendly, lifestyle-focused properties that offer luxury amenities, and create opportunities for community engagement and connection.

Residents will have direct private access from the community to Falcon Park, a public park of the City of Goodyear that offers a playground area, 20 acres of open park space, softball field, baseball field, sand volleyball court, picnic pavilion, walking paths, and a basketball court.

Amenities at Oaks at Lakeside include a 4,300-square-foot clubhouse, a swimming pool, a picnic and barbecue pavilion, a dog park, a playground and gazebos.
HTG has delivered over 7,000 affordable apartments to Florida residents since its inception, and currently has several other affordable communities under development across the Southeast.
