Single-family home prices in Desert Ridge start at a modest $250,000;at the higher end there are homes priced around $800,000.
Residents can shop for just about anything, dine, take the family to a movie or head for the climbing wall at the1-million-plus square foot Desert Ridge Marketplace. The District is a special section of the Marketplace geared to a younger, "hipper crowd". It features an outdoor fireplace, an interactive fountain and videos running on a giant screen. A main stage presents live entertainment.
The public Wildfire Golf Club, on the grounds of the Desert Ridge Marriot Resort, has two golf courses - an Arnold Palmer Signature Course and a Nick Faldo Championship Course. A driving range and practice green area are also available.
