Sundown Manor Homes For Sale In Scottsdale
As one of Scottsdale’s more established neighborhoods, Sundown Manor offers an eclectic community of primarily small estate homes with a wide range of exterior elevations — ranging from mid-century modern to territorial, modern farmhouse and contemporary. The 76 residences here run from smaller ranches starting at 2,100 square feet to an estate with several buildings totalling over 10,900 square feet of living space.
Every residence here is unique, thanks to the varying ages of the homes, all of which involve custom construction. The oldest homes were built in 1950, with the last finished in 2022. Buyers will find three to six bedrooms and 2.5 to seven bathrooms on large properties averaging over an acre — and the community has no HOA, so owners are free to build as they wish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sundown Manor
1. Is Sundown Manor the same as Sundown Ranchos?
No — and buyers confuse them constantly. They are two separate Scottsdale communities with similar names, both offering acre-plus lots and no HOA in the Cactus-Shea Corridor. Sundown Manor sits at the northern end, between Sweetwater Avenue and Thunderbird Road just west of the 101. Sundown Ranchos is further south. Establish which one a home is in before you compare anything.
2. What do people get wrong about Sundown Manor?
That an ‘established neighborhood’ means old houses. The oldest homes date to 1950, which sets an expectation — but the last was finished in 2022, and recent listings include homes from 1987, 2003 and 2007, all extensively reimagined. Seventy-two years of custom construction means the community’s age tells you almost nothing about any individual house.
3. Is there really a 10,900-square-foot estate here?
Yes — and it’s why square footage alone is meaningless in this community. The 76 residences run from smaller ranches starting at 2,100 square feet to an estate with several buildings totalling over 10,900 square feet. That’s a fivefold range. Some newer residences also have large guest casitas and caretaker residences in addition to the main house.
4. Does no HOA mean the community lacks standards?
It means owners are free to build as they wish — which is precisely why the architecture is so varied, from mid-century modern to territorial, modern farmhouse and contemporary. On acre-plus lots that freedom produces character rather than chaos, but there’s no association enforcing anything, so walk the street as well as the lot.
5. What do the listings not tell you?
How different these properties really are. Recent listings include a seven-bedroom from 1987 and a four-bedroom from 2007, both around $5 million, on similar acres. Price per square foot across this community is close to meaningless — what you’re buying is land, position and the quality of one specific custom build.
6. Is this a quiet backwater because it’s ‘established’?
The opposite. Sundown Manor sits minutes from fine dining and entertainment at Kierland Commons, the McCormick Ranch trails and greenbelts, Salt River Fields, and everything in Central Scottsdale, with shopping along the 101 and Northsight Park just north. It’s an acre-lot community in the middle of things, not on the edge of them.
7. What’s better here than people expect?
The quality of the renovations. Buyers expect an older community to mean compromise, and instead find sleek, elegant designer touches in the newer estates and older homes that have been extensively renovated and enlarged — private offices, open-concept gourmet kitchens, expansive owner’s suites with private sitting areas, media rooms, and family rooms opening to the backyard for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
8. What’s the trade-off people underestimate?
An acre with no association is real work, and older custom homes need older-home attention regardless of how good the remodel looks. Many properties here have lush green landscaping, custom pools, sports courts and RV storage — all of which are wonderful and all of which need maintaining. Be honest about whether you want that.
9. What does Sundown Manor get unfairly compared to?
North Scottsdale estate communities. Those offer more land and desert seclusion, but a much longer drive to everything. Sundown Manor gives you an acre-plus estate at the northern end of the Cactus-Shea Corridor, minutes from Kierland — a genuinely different proposition, and one very few communities can offer.
