Built around a Del Webb master-planned development, Anthem grew into a residential community on the northern edge of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Daisy Mountain rises beside its neighborhoods, placing the settlement in the Sonoran Desert foothills rather than in the dense urban core. Interstate 17 provides the main route south toward Phoenix and north across central Arizona. Anthem Veterans Memorial is the community’s defining civic landmark: its five white pillars are arranged so that, at 11:11 a.m. on Veterans Day, sunlight passes through their openings to illuminate the Great Seal of the United States. Parks, schools, and local shopping serve a community shaped by Arizona’s late twentieth-century suburban growth.
