The North Valley
A handful of enclaves carry most of Greater Scottsdale and North Phoenix’s top-tier inventory — and each one rewards a different kind of buyer.
Silverleaf, in the upper reaches of DC Ranch, pairs guard-gated privacy with Spanish-Colonial architecture and some of the Valley’s highest price-per-foot. Desert Mountain spreads six Nicklaus-signature courses across a 3,000-acre Sonoran preserve in far North Scottsdale. Estancia wraps the base of Pinnacle Peak in roughly 600 custom homesites behind a single gate, while Paradise Valley remains the Valley’s benchmark for estate-scale lots and mountain views.
