Desert Mountain sits on the high desert ridgelines of North Scottsdale, a guard-gated, 8,000-acre community known for staggering views, cooler summer temperatures, and a true club-centric lifestyle. Seven Jack Nicklaus Signature courses anchor daily life at the Desert Mountain Club, complemented by multiple clubhouses, chef-driven dining, and the Sonoran fitness, spa, and tennis complex. Beyond the fairways, residents explore a private trail system that winds toward Tonto National Forest, bringing sunrise hikes and stargazing within minutes of the front door.
Everyday convenience is close at hand in nearby Carefree and Cave Creek, where local eateries, galleries, and seasonal events add character to an evening out. For even more outdoor time, the city’s signature open space, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, offers expansive trail networks, trailheads, and educational programming just a short drive away, while golf and dining options in Troon North expand the neighborhood playbook.
Families appreciate access to the Cave Creek Unified School District, with neighborhood students commonly attending Desert Sun Academy, Sonoran Trails Middle School, and Cactus Shadows High School. A variety of private and charter choices across the city round out the academic landscape. Housing ranges from lock-and-leave villas to custom estates on generous lots, all supported by 24/7 staffed gates and a calendar of social, wellness, and golf events that make it easy to connect.
