August 12, 2022

McCormick Ranch: Scottsdale’s First Planned Community

This charming yet affluent area of central Scottsdale has a village-like atmosphere and a wealth of shopping, eating, and drinking options. McCormick Ranch is Scottsdale’s oldest planned community, constructed on the land owned by Fowler and Anne McCormick. After Anne McCormick’s death in 1970, the ranch land was sold to various interests, leading to the development of the McCormick Ranch Golf Club and its surrounding residential communities. Today, this 3,100-acre planned development is home to over 14,000 residents.

Single-Family and Carefree Multiple Living Options
With its stellar location, lying between Indian Bend Road on the south and Shea Boulevard on the north, the town of Paradise Valley on the west, and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to the east, it’s no wonder that McCormick Ranch was the first area to see major development in Scottsdale. It’s made up of primarily spacious single-family homes, with some luxury estates and carefree condos and townhomes.

Buyers will find a mixture of prices and styles, including Spanish, territorial, and classic ranches, among others. The Sands remains one of McCormick Ranch’s most popular neighborhoods. Constructed over ten years beginning in 1973, the Sands has more than 300 single-family homes, 25 patio homes, and 132 townhouses. Sandpiper is another popular community. This large, gated townhome neighborhood offers luxury condos with a community pool and spa, two-car garages, and proximity to the McCormick Ranch Golf Course.

Lakes, Mountain Views, and More at McCormick Ranch Golf Club
McCormick Ranch Golf Club, the centerpiece of the community, is an oasis in the desert. Set amid several artificial lakes, it features two courses, the Palm Course and the Pine Course, with lush landscaping alternating with desert views. The golf club offers a variety of membership levels, making it one of the most accessible facilities of its type in Scottsdale. Dining and banquet facilities are also available.

Myriad Outdoor Recreational Opportunities
The manmade lakes within the golf course extend to other parks in McCormick Ranch, totaling 130 acres of fishing, boating, and other outdoor recreational opportunities. Residents can enjoy tennis and pickleball facilities at Comanche Park, plus playgrounds, basketball facilities, and more at Shoshone and Zuni Park. Mountain View Park, in the northern area of McCormick Ranch, features a community center plus multiple sports courts. You’ll also find 25 miles of biking and walking paths, many of which connect to the Indian Wash Greenbelt.

Restaurants Galore in McCormick Ranch
As one of the most established areas of Scottsdale, McCormick Ranch is home to some of the community’s finest restaurants. You’ll find everything here, from pancake houses and sandwich shops to fine dining establishments with steak and sushi to wine bars. Put these on your must-visit list:
• The Vig McCormick Ranch
• Roka Akor
• Noci Café
• Butters Pancakes and Café
• Blanco Tacos and Tequila
• Chez Vous
• Roaring Ranch
• Grassroots Kitchen and Tap
• Hiro Sushi
• PHX Beer Co.

Commercial Commerce Hub
Few areas of Scottsdale are better for neighborhood shopping than McCormick Ranch. The intersection of Hayden Road and Via de Ventura has a variety of shopping and eating options. Try Seville Shopping Center at Scottsdale Road and Indian Bend Road for high-end salons, boutiques, jewelry, and décor shops.

Why Golf in Scottsdale Is The Perfect Sport To Take You Outdoors

Why Golf in Scottsdale Is The Perfect Sport To Take You Outdoors

Scottsdale, Arizona is famous for desert-style resorts, its art scene, and luxurious boutiques, but the golf courses are one of the biggest draws in the city.

When you are considering the stunning weather that seems to stick around all year, what better way to get outdoors and get some exercise in?

Here’s why golf in Scottsdale is the perfect sport to take you outdoors, whether you live in the area or you’re here on vacation.

The Golf Courses Are Amazing

Scottsdale is home to a collection of top-quality, championship golf courses. It’s known as a golf and resort destination, so what better way to get outdoors for a few hours?

Troon North Golf Club is widely regarded as the best public club in the Scottsdale area. It’s desert golf at its very best, featuring two full 18-hole golf courses that weave through the beautiful natural landscape.

Golfers will find themselves playing around granite boulders, like “the Monument”, a huge boulder in the middle of the fairway on the par-5 3rd hole. Immediately after the boulder, the hole has a sharp right dogleg, making it a challenge for golfers of all levels.

If you want to walk where the pros have walked before, play a round at TPC Scottsdale. The course hosts the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February, which attracts pro golfers, but it’s open to the public for the rest of the year.

The Stadium Course’s signature 16th hole, a par-3 of 163 yards, is surrounded by grandstands, which come alive during competition. Play it alone, and it feels eerily like standing in an empty stadium.

It’s Easy to Stay Socially Distanced

One of the greatest things about golf as a sport is that it’s easy to remain socially distanced. Although the pandemic panic has died down somewhat, there’s nothing wrong with taking precaution.

If you’re looking for a way to get outdoors that doesn’t have you interacting closely with others, playing a round of golf is the ideal way to do that.

There are never crowds on golf courses. It’s just you, your clubs, and perhaps a friend or two. Even if you do run into a group of golfers ahead of you, it’s easy to stay at a respectful distance and enjoy your round without feeling worried or crowded.

It’s a Great Workout

Golf may seem like a more relaxed sport than many others, but the truth is that it’s an excellent exercise. Not only do you get an excellent cardiovascular workout walking from hole to hole (if you choose to forgo the golf cart), but your muscles will get a workout too.

Your backswing works your erector spinae muscles, your obliques, and your biceps. The forward swing also works the obliques and biceps, as well as the gluteus maximus. Various other small muscles in the trunk also get activated, and you should keep your core tight while going through your golf swing as well.

The Weather Is Always Good

Scottsdale has exceptional weather, a typical arid desert climate. Spring and summer can get extremely hot, so don’t forget to wear your best golf hat to protect you from the sun if you’re on the course.

Golf is always best played in clear, warm weather. You can see for miles and appreciate the beautifully landscaped surrounding nature.

Conclusion

It’s easy to see why golf in Scottsdale is the perfect sport to take you outdoors and keep you fit, healthy, and happy. You’re surrounded by spectacular natural scenery, you’re breathing in the fresh, clean, desert air, and you’re getting the body moving.

With the huge assortment of courses in the area, there’s truly something for every level of golfer. Go as a family, with friends, or alone – the golf is amazing no matter what!

Why are So Many People Moving from California to Arizona?

June 29, 2020

Why are So Many People Moving from California to Arizona?

Americans are a transient people, with many of them moving from one state to another. One of the most popular migration routes in recent years has seen Californians resettling in Arizona. In 2018, moving from California to Arizona was the second most popular move in the United States. What’s behind this migration of two neighboring states? Here is why Californians are flocking to the Grand Canyon State.

Employment Growth

Arizona ranks third in the United States for job growth with a rate that is double the national average. Sectors such as financial services, technology and healthcare have boomed for years, drawing out-of-state talent. Job growth is also driven by specific policy decisions made by Arizona lawmakers, which also make the state attractive to entrepreneurs who are tired of over-regulation.

Diverse Housing Choices

Not only does the state have more affordable housing, it also gives buyers a range of styles that fits their personality and lifestyles. The Phoenix area, in particular, has a wide array of home styles and price ranges. Here you’ll find single-family architectural styles ranging from the charm of ranch style, bungalows, pueblo revival and mid-century modern to Spanish mission, Mediterranean revival and 21^st century modern. What’s more is you can choose gated communities for extra security, carefree townhomes or ultra-modern condos in urban city centers.

Exceptional Education

The Phoenix area has some of the top-rated school districts in the state, including K-12 unified school districts in Scottsdale, Deer Valley, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek and many more. In addition, you’ll also find a selection of individual schools in these areas named Blue Ribbon Schools by the United States Department of Education. You’ll also find a number of exceptional charter schools and private academies. When it comes to higher education, it doesn’t get any better than Arizona State University in Tempe.

A Variety of Outdoor Activities

Although nearly 40% of the state is desert, Arizona is also home to majestic mountains, gorgeous canyons and rich plant and animal life. It’s no wonder that hiking is the most popular outdoor activity, but you can also enjoy mountain biking, horseback riding, rafting and hot air ballooning, all within minutes of your front door. If you golf, the Phoenix Valley is a dream with several world-class PGA golf courses and country clubs.

Rich Cultural Life

Californians never want for things to do after moving to Arizona. The Valley has a thriving cultural scene that includes indoor and outdoor museums, festivals and cultural centers. A variety of organizations sponsor events such as the Scottsdale Art Walk. The culinary scene is also amazing, offering everything from street food to fine dining over a wide range of cuisines.

Desert Sky Development

June 11, 2020

Desert Sky Development

The motto “Where Quality Feels at Home” epitomizes the high-end residences constructed by Desert Sky Development. This luxury home developer constructs only two to four homes per year so its designers and craftspeople can produce the best possible residences in some of the Valley’s most prestigious communities.

Brothers Charlie and Mike Frat established Desert Sky Homes in 1992 and over the years developed a unique hands-on approach whereby the company’s in-house team manages the entire design and construction process. This approach, along with attention to detail and unparalleled customer services has not only made Desert Sky the builder of choice for many satisfied customers but also resulted in multiple local magazines and journals naming the company as one of Arizona’s top custom home builders.

Fulfilling Your Visions and Dreams

Desert Sky believes in concentrating on such a small number of homes per year because those who want outstanding custom homes invest a lot of time and emotion into creating the residence of their dreams. Buyers deserve to find a builder that is as dedicated to the process as they are.

Every Desert Sky custom residence includes quality features such as:

Natural stone floors and tile
Oversized kitchens with granite counters
Entertainment centers with multiple surround-sound systems
Complete security systems
Intercom systems
Ample storage spaces
State-of-the-art air conditioning and water heaters
Central vacuum
Upgraded electrical systems
Computer/cable ready ports
Custom swimming pools and spas
Full landscaping

Committed to Green Construction

Desert Sky Development was one of the first builders to sign onto the Scottsdale Green Building Program developed in 2004 to reduce energy consumption as well as the environmental impact of buildings during and after construction. The Frat brothers had already begun incorporating environmentally conscious and energy-saving features into their projects even before the project was announced. Not only do these homes have the highest quality amenities, they also incorporate energy-saving appliances, water-conservation features and desert landscaping to minimize environmental impact.

Building in the Valley’s Most Prestigious Communities

You’ll find custom homes by Desert Sky Development in some of the Valley’s most prestigious communities. These include:

Silver Leaf
DC Ranch
Desert Highlands
Eagle Ridge at Fountain Hills
FireRock
Rancho Trinidad
Quail’s Nest
Sierra Hills
Stonegate
