Category: Best Scottsdale Neighborhoods
As its name suggests, DC Ranch was formerly a cattle ranch owned by a very ambitious cowboy. Tucked away at the foot of the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale, DC Ranch is a master-planned community that celebrates community, family and luxury living. There are four distinct residential villages: Country Club Village, Desert Camp Village, Desert Parks Village and Silverleaf Village. Residential properties range in price from the high $200,000’s to over $10,000,000.
From condominiums and townhomes to villas and custom homes, DC Ranch provides a beautiful, and masterfully maintained residential area for young professionals, busy families and retirees. With 4,000 acres, 2,600 homes sites, and elevations ranging from 1,580-3,840 feet, the community offers spectacular views of the McDowell Mountains, Pinnacle Peak and the city.
DC Ranch is conveniently located in the heart of North Scottsdale just 5 minutes from the Loop 101 Freeway. The Scottsdale Airport is a 10-minute drive, and the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is just 25 minutes away.
DC Ranch is home to The Country Club at DC Ranch and Silverleaf golf courses — two classically-designed courses, each with an elegant, private club — that offer challenging play against a backdrop of white sand bunkers, dramatic mountain vistas and city views.
Neighborhood Real Estate:
The four villages in DC Ranch each contain a handful of small neighborhoods. Most loop around small central parks, and many of the homes were designed with “front-of-house living” with front porches and courtyards, and homes fronting to neighborhood parks.
• Country Club Village – 485 residential properties including custom and semi-custom homes and townhomes. The Country Club at DC Ranch is located within the neighborhood gates.
• Desert Camp Village – 655 residences with single-family homes, condominiums and townhomes within walking distance to The Desert Camp Community Center and the Market Street shopping district.
• Desert Parks Village – 677 single-family and townhome residences, located near DC Ranch Crossing and Canyon Village shopping districts and The Homestead Community Center
• Silverleaf Village – 783 custom residences ranging in size from 3,000 to more than 15,000 square feet. The properties range from custom single-family estates to custom patio homes, townhomes and condominiums. Silverleaf Club is nestled within this village.
