ORO VALLEY, AZ (June 9, 2026) — Insight Homes, a premier Tucson-based home builder with a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation dating back to 1980, is proud to announce its newest community — North Ridge Estates — a gated enclave of custom homes nestled in the heart of Oro Valley, Arizona.
Insight Investment Company purchased approximately 36.44 acres of vacant residential land at the southwest corner of North La Cañada Drive and West Moore Road in Oro Valley for $3,525,000. The sale equated to approximately $96,734 per acre or $117,500 per lot, based on a preliminary plat for 30 single-family residential lots. The property is located at 12701 N. La Cañada Drive in Oro Valley’s northwest submarket.
North Ridge Estates offers discerning buyers the rare opportunity to own a finely appointed custom home on generous homesites, several of which exceed one full acre in size. The gated community reflects Insight Homes’ commitment to delivering a lifestyle that blends privacy, elegance, and quality construction.
Insight Homes has established itself as a trusted name in Tucson real estate by offering unique, energy-efficient new construction homes paired with a level of personal service rarely found in today’s market. The company’s dedication to excellence is evident in its previous work at La Canada Ridge, a community of 30 semi-custom homes situated directly adjacent to North Ridge Estates.
Mike Jones, founder and owner of Insight Homes, has been building homes in Tucson since 1980 and remains deeply committed to the community.
“Insight Homes continues to grow alongside the Tucson community,” said Jones. “North Ridge Estates represents everything we stand for — quality, craftsmanship, and homes built to last.”
The seller was The Estate of Dewanne D. Hopson.
According to the broker, the property was annexed into Oro Valley, master-planned, rezoned, and engineered with a preliminary plat over approximately three and a half years, beginning in September 2022, at the buyer’s cost and expense. The preliminary plat includes 30 lots on the 36-acre site.
The transaction highlights continued builder interest in Oro Valley and the northwest Tucson area for residential land, where entitled and engineered sites remain limited and difficult to assemble. The La Cañada and Moore Road location places the property near established Oro Valley neighborhoods, schools, services, and major northside transportation corridors.
