Inside Kierland, where daily life stays close to home

Kierland is a master-planned community in north Phoenix, near the Scottsdale border, where 1990s-era homes share the map with condos, townhouses and high-rise apartments. Much of its appeal comes from how little residents have to travel for daily life, with shopping centers, restaurants, offices and medical care built right into the area. A central golf club and year-round events help keep the neighborhood active, while nearby Loop 101 makes getting around the valley convenient.

Houses, high-rise apartments and golf course condos

Many of the area’s single-family homes were built in the mid-1990s when the community was first developed. There are a variety of ranch-style, Pueblo Revival and Mediterranean-influenced designs, often with private pools, covered patios and garages. Prices typically range from the mid-$500,000s to about $2.6 million.

Kierland also includes a large percentage of multifamily properties. Some of the condos and townhouses are located along the edges of the golf course, but you’ll also see some high-rise apartments and condos along North Scottsdale Road. Townhouses tend to sell from the upper $500,000s to around $2.5 million, and condos often range from the low $500,000s to just over $3 million.

Running errands in Kierland Commons

Homebuyers are often drawn to Kierland’s convenient layout that puts shopping, dining and other daily needs within reach. “20 years ago, people couldn’t even pronounce Kierland,” says Anne Schilling, one of the community’s earliest residents and owner of Schilling Fine Homes. “Now it’s like you’re in your own city. You don’t really have to go that much out of your way to get whatever you want.” Many of the businesses are concentrated in:

  • Kierland Commons, an open-air mall with a mix of upscale shops and restaurants
  • Scottsdale Quarter, located beside Kierland Commons, with retailers such as Apple and Lululemon
  • Kierland Village Center, home to a Safeway grocery store and several casual dining spots

Loop 101 makes getting around the valley easier
