This community began in 1995 and now consists of almost 4,000 homes built by 14 different builders in 26 neighborhoods.  The community has spent more than $130 million on community design and improvements, including miles of paved and natural trails, the Community Center and the McDowell Center.  The Community Center has a state of the art kitchen designed for catering, meetings as well as private gatherings and events. It also has two heated swimming pools and spas, newly renovated children’s playgrounds, tennis, pickleball, basketball, and picnic areas.  McDowell Mountain Ranch has a wide variety of events offered year-round for both children and adults including fitness, sports, and educational classes, as well as special community-wide events like a Pancake Breakfast and Egg Hunt, Octoberfest party & movies in the park.

Golfers are thrilled with the McDowell Mountain Golf Club which was re-designed in 2011 by Phil Mickelson’s team. They took this land and transformed it into one of the area’s premier golf courses making it a favorite course for the whole family.

McDowell Mountain Ranch is also close to some of the finest shopping Scottsdale has to offer, only minutes away from Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons with both nationally known stores & charming boutiques, casual and fine dining restaurants as well as a theatre.  The 101 freeway is nearby giving residents easy access to downtown Phoenix, Sky Harbor Airport & all the major sporting venues while maintaining the peaceful tranquility of their daily lives by living just outside of the urban hub of the city.

Some other amazing facilities that are next to McDowell Mountain Ranch are the Desert Canyon School Campus, the Scottsdale Arabian Library, Westworld,  and the McDowell Mountain Ranch Aquatic Center.

McDowell Mountain Ranch is an award-winning master-planned community.  MMR, as it is affectionately called by residents and business owners, encompasses 3,200 acres in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale, Arizona and is adjacent to the McDowell Sonoran Desert Preserve, a 16,000-acre desert preserve with thousands of miles of hiking trails.  The natural beauty of the area makes it an ideal location for those who prefer to live in a more serene setting.

Shawn has lived in McDowell Mountain Ranch since 2001 and loves where she lives. In fact, she has moved since then and chosen to stay in the neighborhood. Selling her neighborhood is one of her favorite things to do because when you love where you live it’s not selling.
