Scottsdale MLS
Scottsdale master planned communities have been setting the example, and the standard, for similar developments since the 1960s. Scottsdale's rapid and continual growth, plus the fact that many newcomers come seeking second homes, combine to create a perfect environment for master planned community development.
In recent years, new development has mushroomed, even as the more established master planned communities continue to expand. Currently, almost 3/4 of the new homes sales in the Valley (including Scottsdale and Phoenix areas) are within master planned communities. Much of the new planned community activity is talking place in North Scottsdale, the fastest growing area in the Valley.
Choosing a home in a master planned community is as much about selecting the right community as it is about buying the home. Each master planned community has a distinct personality and life style emphasis. Scottsdale master planned communities are often like cities within a city. In addition to a wide array of home styles and prices, Scottsdale master planned communities offer many of the services and amenities a home buyer might look for in a town or city - retail and commercial/office centers, restaurants and movie theaters, schools, "city-type" services, parks, recreation centers, golf courses and tennis complexes. The residential areas in master planned communities are generally distinct subdivisions or neighborhoods. Each of these will offer different styles and sizes of single-family homes, town homes, patio homes or even condominium residences.
McCormick Ranch is Scottsdale first master planned community, complete with commercial centers, offices, parks and hotels. DC Ranch is one of Scottsdale's newer master planned communities promising "unique home styles that emphasize front-of-the house living" and miles of walking trails and paths. Realizing that communities must accommodate residents' future needs, Grayhawk offers a "wired" community that provides residents with an intranet, high-speed internet connection and the CyberSmart AMP OnQ system in their home.
