With scenic McDowell Mountain views and a central Scottsdale location, Horizons boasts convenience and proximity to modern-day amenities in a breathtaking setting. The neighborhood is an amalgam of subdivisions, offering a broad range of housing options. “Horizons is overall a quiet neighborhood at the base of the McDowell Mountains,” says associate broker Morgan Hughes of Realty One Group specializing in the Scottsdale area. “It’s just east of 101 but still very close to great schools, exceptional shopping and everything in Scottsdale.”
The McDowell Mountains are an ever-present view from Horizons.

Proximity to grocery stores and Scottsdale Quarter
Close to home, residents can shop and dine at the Scottsdale Horizon strip mall, which houses fast-food options like Jack in the Box and Panda Express, as well as gourmet grocery store AJ’s Fine Foods. Hash Kitchen is a popular breakfast and brunch destination known for its build-your-own Bloody Mary bar and extensive food menu.
“There are a number of grocery stores dotted throughout,” Hodges says. “But you have everything off the 101, plus proximity to Scottsdale Quarter.” Scottsdale Quarter, a hip open-air shopping mall, features specialty retailers and brand names like Crate & Barrell, Warby Parker and more.

Subdivisions offer a broad range of homes
Homebuyers can take their pick from contemporary condos and townhouses to multi-million estates. “Horizons has a great range in homes,” Hodges says. “It’s a good cross-section of what Scottsdale offers.” Gated communities feature custom architectural styles and newly built Mission Revival homes to luxury properties on roomier acreage. Many townhouses parsed throughout the subdivisions may feature private garage space and renovated interiors, while gated condominium complexes like Villages North and Ladera Vista come with amenities such as expansive patios, community pools, and clubhouses, as well as designated parking. Plus, Hodges notes that most homes here boast stunning mountain views. Though the median price for real estate hovers at $606,550, prices run the gamut. “You have a number of neighborhoods with $500,000 to $600,000 price tags, high-end homes up to $5 million and all home types in between,” Hodges adds.

The major thoroughfare provides quick and easy access to neighboring communities, attractions and more. Residents get to Downtown Phoenix in just over 30 minutes and to the Scottsdale Airport in only 10 minutes. Hodges emphasizes that Horizons’ convenience is a key point for residents: “You’re right in the heart of central Scottsdale.”
