Explore Cave Creek Communities

Cave Creek communities offer a wide mix of homes and lifestyles. For example, some buyers want golf. Others want views, privacy or a low-maintenance condo. This guide helps you sort the options quickly.

Golf and View Neighborhoods

Golf is a big draw here. In fact, Rancho Manana, Dove Valley Ranch and Tatum Ranch are some of the best-known names. Many homes also face Black Mountain, Elephant Mountain and the open Sonoran Desert. However, views can change a lot from one lot to the next. So it pays to look at each homesite closely.

Custom Homes in Cave Creek Communities

Buyers who want space often start with Desert Forest, Surrey Hills, Tonto Hills and Black Mountain Vista. These areas feature larger custom homes. In addition, many sit on elevated or private lots. As a result, prices can vary widely, even on the same street.

Condos and Lock-and-Leave Living

Not everyone wants a large yard. For instance, seasonal residents often choose condos and townhomes. Popular choices include Village at Surrey Hills and Rancho Madera. These homes also make a good fit for second-home buyers. Still, it is smart to review HOA rules and fees first.
