    FIND YOUR VILLAGE

    In winter, approximately 1,650 people reside in the 8,000-acre gated-community that offers 36 villages with home styles ranging from townhomes to luxury homes.

    If you like privacy, you may want one of the homes at the top of the community which are privately sited 10-20 minutes from the main gate. Many homes in Desert Mountain feature large parcels of over one-plus acres for added privacy. Prices range from a modest $250,000 for smaller townhomes for sale, to over 5 million for luxury estates for sale in Desert Mountain.

    Real Estate Observations. Real estate/ Homes for sale are plentiful in Desert Mountain with over a hundred homes for sale at any given time. And with a nearly 20% turnover in residents each year, plan ahead if you buy here. Although the community is very nice, it is quite a drive from the actual center of Scottsdale so often times buyers love the idea of the tranquility but decide to sell their home after missing the easy access to more restaurants and the city of Scottsdale. So homes that are for sale here typically take a year or more to sell… and two years is not unheard of. (MAP below Desert Mountain is located where the DM is on map, noting Scottsdale City below.)
