After nearly 70 years of farming, the Anderson family has sold a plot of land at Bowlin and Hartman roads to Lennar Homes to make way for a future residential development.

The move happened quietly in late April. The Land Agency, known for brokering deals for developments like Tortosa and Maricopa Meadows, sold 20 acres in the northwest corner of the Anderson plot for $800,000 to Lennar Homes, which will turn the land into a new residential community.

The themed residential master planned community will be called Anderson Farms, keeping the namesake of a family who has operated the farm since 1954.
