What city is 85260 in?
Every home sold in ZIP code 85260 over the past year carried a Scottsdale address. Note that a mailing address is not the same as a city limit — check the parcel itself for jurisdiction, taxes and services.

Scottsdale Unified District serves most of ZIP code 85260 — it is the district listed on 90% of homes sold over the past year. The high school most often listed is Desert Mountain High School.

Is 85260 served by APS or SRP?
APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85260. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85260 in a flood zone?
Parts of it are, which is true of most of the Phoenix valley — the desert washes that carry monsoon runoff are mapped as high-hazard even where they cross otherwise dry ground. ZIP code 85260 contains FEMA zones A, AO. That says nothing about any particular house: most homes in these ZIPs sit outside the mapped areas. A lender will require flood insurance only if the property itself is inside one, so the check that matters is on the address, not the ZIP.
What ZIP codes border 85260?
ZIP code 85260 borders 85253, 85254, 85255, 85258, and 85259.
