Astoria Homes For Sale In Scottsdale
Astoria is a small, established neighborhood of custom homes in central Scottsdale, tucked between Cactus Road and Sweetwater Avenue just west of 87th Street in the 85260 ZIP code. Most of the homes went up in 1990 and 1991, so the streets have mature trees and a settled feel, yet you’re only a few minutes from Loop 101, Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter.
What sets Astoria apart is the combination of big single-level floor plans and generous lots. Many homes sit on a third to nearly a half acre, which leaves room for pools, ramadas, outdoor kitchens and, in some cases, a guest casita. As a result, it draws buyers who want space and a central address without stepping up to acreage pricing farther north.

It's a short drive to Loop 101, and Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter and TPC Scottsdale are all within a few miles. It sits within the broader Cactus Corridor area of Scottsdale.
What types of homes are available in Astoria?
Astoria is all detached single-family homes built around 1990 to 1991. The homes are mostly large single-level plans of roughly 2,900 to 3,900 square feet with four or five bedrooms, vaulted ceilings and three-car garages. Many have pools, and some include a guest casita.
How much do homes in Astoria typically cost?
Home prices in Astoria vary considerably depending on size, lot, condition, renovations and outdoor features. As of September 2026, recent sales have typically ranged from approximately $1.5 million to $1.72 million, although fully remodeled homes on larger lots can exceed $2.5 million in asking price.
Does Astoria have an HOA?
Yes. Astoria has a homeowners association with dues billed semi-annually. The association maintains community standards, and listings note rules such as no visible trucks, trailers, RVs or boats. Ask for the current CC&Rs and fee schedule during your review period.
Is Astoria gated?
Astoria isn't marketed as a gated community, and the listing records we reviewed don't show a community entry gate. Streets are accessible from the surrounding neighborhood.
What amenities does Astoria offer?
Astoria doesn't have shared amenities like a clubhouse or community pool. Most of the amenities are private: large yards, pools, ramadas and outdoor kitchens. Mountain View Park, Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter and TPC Scottsdale are all a short drive away.
What schools serve Astoria?
Astoria is in Paradise Valley Unified School District. Assigned schools listed for Astoria addresses include Sonoran Sky Elementary, Desert Shadows Middle School and Horizon High School. Confirm the assignment for any specific home with the district, since boundaries can change.
How far is Astoria from Old Town Scottsdale and Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport?
Old Town Scottsdale is roughly 9 to 10 miles away, or about 20 minutes by car. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is approximately 20 miles away, usually about 25 to 30 minutes via Loop 101 and Loop 202 in normal traffic.
What should buyers know before buying a home in Astoria?
Condition is the biggest price driver here. Most homes are about 35 years old, so check the age of the roof, HVAC units, water heaters, pool equipment and plumbing, since a home with original systems can sell hundreds of thousands below a renovated one. Next, compare lots: sizes range from about a third to nearly a half acre, and backyard orientation matters (south-facing yards get more winter sun, while north-facing yards stay cooler in summer). Also note that the HOA doesn't allow visible RVs, boats or trailers, so if you need parking for one, look for a home with an RV gate and side-yard space. Finally, check whether any solar panels are owned or leased.

Homes and Architecture
Astoria is made up of detached single-family homes built around 1990 to 1991. The homes we reviewed are single-level, with roughly 2,900 to 3,900 square feet, four or five bedrooms, three or more baths and three-car garages. Lots typically run about 0.3 to 0.47 acres, and some sit on cul-de-sacs.
Common features you’ll see in Astoria listings:
- Vaulted ceilings and open family rooms with gas fireplaces
- Kitchens with center islands, gas cooktops and, in remodeled homes, quartzite or granite counters
- Primary suites with sitting areas and, in several homes, their own fireplace
- Private pools, covered patios, ramadas and built-in barbecues
- Guest quarters or casitas in some floor plans
Pricing depends heavily on how much a home has been updated. As of September 2026, recent Astoria sales have landed between about $1.5 million and $1.72 million, and a fully remodeled five-bedroom home on a roughly half-acre lot was listed at about $2.6 million.
Market Overview
Astoria is a small neighborhood, so inventory is thin. In late September 2026 there was a single active listing, and only a couple of homes closed in the first nine months of the year. For example, one home sold in March 2026 for $1.5 million after starting near $1.72 million, while a heavily remodeled home sold in June 2026 for $1.72 million.
That gap tells the story here. Original-condition homes and homes with older systems tend to sell closer to the lower end, while fully renovated homes with new kitchens, baths and outdoor living set the top of the range. So with so few sales, a good pricing opinion leans on nearby Cactus Corridor comparables as much as Astoria itself.
Amenities and Lifestyle
Astoria doesn’t have a clubhouse or shared pool. Instead, the value is in the private yards and the location. Mountain View Park sits a short drive south on Mountain View Road, with a community center, playgrounds, sports fields, volleyball courts and ramadas for picnics.
Nearby spots residents use often:
- Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter for shopping and dining, a few miles west
- TPC Scottsdale and the Scottsdale Airpark area to the north
- WestWorld of Scottsdale for equestrian events and big shows
- Northsight Park off Thunderbird Road
- The Shea Boulevard corridor for groceries, restaurants and medical offices
Schools and Location
Astoria is served by Paradise Valley Unified School District. Assigned schools listed for Astoria homes include Sonoran Sky Elementary, Desert Shadows Middle School and Horizon High School. Since boundaries can change, buyers should confirm assignments for a specific address with the district.
Getting around is easy. Loop 101’s Cactus Road interchange is just east, so you can reach the Scottsdale Airpark, north Scottsdale and the rest of the Valley quickly. Old Town Scottsdale is roughly 20 minutes south, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is typically about 25 to 30 minutes away in normal traffic.
