Pinnacle Peak
Surrounded by the magnificence of the lush high Sonoran Desert, the Pinnacle Peak area of far North Scottsdale is nestled at the northern end of the McDowell Mountains where Mother Nature's majestic treasures are on full display. Home to several exclusive master-planned communities in the area, it also boasts fabulous views of glittering city lights as well as the soaring spires of Pinnacle Peak and her sibling boulder-strewn mountains and hillsides.
Homes began construction in 1977 and are mainly single-family custom homes and estates that sit on either half or 1-acre lots, but they also include, villas, and townhomes. Many properties back onto the golf course and have McDowell Mountain views. There are both gated and non-gated neighborhoods with an assortment of architectural styles including Santa Fe, Pueblo and Mediterranean/Mission.
Years ago, visionary planning went into making this breathtaking area the haven that it is for those who enjoy an amenity-rich lifestyle. Designed by world-renowned professional golfers with instantly recognizable names, championship golf courses dot the rugged landscape, ensuring golf aficionados will be challenged to their heart's – and handicap's – content. It's important to note that one need not be a die-hard golfer to savor the high standards of this luxurious lifestyle, since these country club communities abound with social activities and some also feature tennis gardens to round out a rich menu of recreational choices.
