Living in DC Ranch

DC Ranch is a master-planned community in North Scottsdale bordering the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. What began as a homestead and working cattle ranch is now one of Scottsdale's best-known addresses, organized into four villages: Country Club, Desert Camp, Silverleaf and Desert Park.

Paths and trails link neighborhoods, parks and community centers, and Market Street at DC Ranch puts coffee, dining, groceries and services close by. Homes range from townhomes and patio homes to golf-course estates and guard-gated custom homes in Spanish Colonial, Santa Barbara, Mediterranean, territorial and contemporary desert styles. Ask Jared for current pricing and recent sales.

DC Ranch, at the base of the McDowell Mountains, is organized into four villages: Country Club, Desert Camp, Desert Park and Silverleaf. Market Street at DC Ranch is the shared town center, and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve's Gateway trailhead is just off Thompson Peak Parkway.

Paths connect parks and community centers across the villages, and the DC Ranch Country Club golf course runs through the Country Club village. Neighborhoods include townhomes, single-family homes and custom estates, some gated. Schools are in Scottsdale Unified (confirm with the district). Loop 101 at Pima Road handles the commute.
