McDowell Mountain Ranch

McDowell Mountain Ranch is a master planned community nestled in the foothills of the magnificent McDowell Mountains, offering panoramic views of the majestic beauty of Scottsdale. It was completed in June of 2003. The community has been voted among the top 5-10 master planned communities annually since 1998. It was voted number 2 of the “Top 10 Master Planned Communities for 2001” in Ranking Arizona published by Arizona Business Magazine.

It is a family oriented community with a wide range of amenities designed for an active lifestyle. There is a five acre park, a community center with a swimming pool, spa, basketball, tennis and sand volleyball courts and a very popular splash fountain. There are miles of trails connecting neighborhoods to each other and to the Scottsdale Public Library, Citizen Service Center, elementary and middle schools and recreation center.

Desert Canyon School (K-8) opened its combined campus in August of 1998 and is one of only two sites in the Scottsdale Unified School District offering K-8.

The Sanctuary Golf Course, a public championship course designed by Randy Heckenkemper, opened in spring of 2000. It is a 6,624 yard, par 71 course, with seven of its 18 holes lying on land donated by McDowell Mountain Ranch and Shea Homes. The 10,000 square foot clubhouse features a full service restaurant and multi-use pavilion for special events.

Desert Canyon Shopping Center within the community features seven buildings containing 60,000 square feet of retail, medical and office space.

Most of the homes here were built between 1995-2000. The last builder model closed June, 2003 at which time the master plan was completed. All homes are resale at this time, but a new community by Toll Brothers is slated for 2005, so stay tuned…
