Avian at Grayhawk Homes For Sale In Scottsdale
Avian at Grayhawk is a gated townhome community tucked inside Grayhawk’s Raptor Retreat in North Scottsdale, ZIP code 85255. Homes sit off Grayhawk Drive just northeast of Hayden Road and Thompson Peak Parkway, so you’re behind two gates yet only a short walk from groceries, coffee and the Grayhawk Golf Club.
So what draws people here? Mostly it’s the balance. You get roughly 2,000 square feet, an attached two-car garage and an HOA that handles the outside of the home, plus all the trails, parks and pools of the larger Grayhawk master plan. As a result, Avian works well for owners who want space without a big yard, or who spend part of the year somewhere else and want a home that’s easy to lock up and travel.

Avian at Grayhawk at a Glance: Avian at Grayhawk is a guard-gated community in North Scottsdale made up of 188 single-story homes and townhomes. Residents have heated pools, tennis courts and trail access.
Homes and Architecture
Universal Homes built Avian between the late 1990s and the early 2000s, with most county records showing build years from about 1997 to 2002. The community uses six floor plans in a mix of single-level and two-story attached homes, all finished in stucco with tile roofs and desert-toned exteriors that match the rest of Grayhawk.
Here’s what you’ll typically find:
- Two to three bedrooms (a few plans list a den or flex room) and two to three and a half baths
- Roughly 1,820 to 2,455 square feet, with most homes landing between 2,000 and 2,500
- An attached two-car garage on every unit
- Vaulted ceilings, gas fireplaces, split bedroom layouts and covered patios or front courtyards
- Single-level plans with the primary suite on the main floor, which tend to get plenty of interest
Because the homes are now 25 years old or so, condition varies a lot from one unit to the next. Some owners have fully remodeled kitchens and baths, while others still have original finishes and mechanical systems. That’s often the biggest reason two homes with the same floor plan sell at noticeably different prices.
As of September 2026, active listings in Avian run from about $700,000 to the mid $900,000s, and recent closed sales have landed in a similar band. Larger, updated or better-positioned units sit at the top of that range and can push toward $1 million.
Market Overview
Avian is a small community, so only a few homes hit the market at any one time. In late September 2026, listing sites showed roughly two to three active listings, and recent sales went under contract in about two to three weeks on average. That said, low inventory means one or two sales can swing the numbers quite a bit, so it pays to look at the last six to twelve months of closings rather than a single month.
Recent sales per square foot have generally fallen in the high $300s to low $400s. Updated single-level plans and homes with open south or golf-facing views tend to sell faster, while units that need work or back up to busier interior roads usually take longer and leave more room to negotiate. Some owners also lease their homes, so you’ll see rentals alongside sales. If you’re selling, pricing against true Avian comps (not the larger detached homes elsewhere in Grayhawk) matters a lot.
Amenities and Lifestyle
Avian has its own amenities, and then you also get access to what the Grayhawk Community Association runs for the Retreat Village. You can read more about the gates and neighborhood amenities on the Grayhawk Community Association’s Retreat Village page.
Close to home:
- Community pools and spas inside Avian
- Neighborhood pools, tennis and basketball courts, tot lots and pocket parks around the Retreat Village
- More than 30 miles of multi-use trails and greenbelts across Grayhawk
- Grayhawk Golf Club’s Raptor and Talon courses, both public daily-fee courses, plus Quill Creek and Isabella’s Kitchen at the clubhouse
- Fry’s Marketplace, Starbucks, banks and restaurants within walking distance at Hayden and Thompson Peak
Meanwhile, Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter are about 10 minutes south, and the TPC Scottsdale area and the Loop 101 corridor are just a few minutes away. For a broader look at the whole master plan, including the detached neighborhoods and the Talon side, check out our Grayhawk homes for sale guide.
Schools and Location
Avian falls within the Paradise Valley Unified School District. Recent MLS listings for the community show Grayhawk Elementary School (under a mile away), Mountain Trail Middle School and Pinnacle High School. Boundaries can change, so buyers should always confirm the current assignment directly with the district.
Getting around is easy. From the Avian gate, you’re about two miles from Loop 101, roughly 13 miles (about 20 to 25 minutes) from Old Town Scottsdale, and roughly 24 miles (about 30 to 35 minutes) from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in normal traffic. Scottsdale Airport and the Scottsdale Airpark employment area are even closer, at about 10 minutes south.
