During the 1970s and 1980s, McCormick Ranch transformed from dusty ranch land to one of Scottsdale’s first and most sought-after master-planned communities. “People really want to live here,” says Associate Broker Cathy Ellington of McCormick Ranch with more than twenty years of experience. “It’s a great, established location with quality properties.” With multiple communities and subdivisions, locals enjoy the greenest streets of the entire valley, with lush, mature trees and miles of interconnected parks and green spaces. Even with palm trees and mountain backdrops, folks sometimes forget they're in the desert. The McCormick Ranch Golf Club is a big draw, offering four different membership options. Enthusiasts will also love Topgolf, a state-of-the-art entertainment complex with three stories of climate-controlled hitting bays on the other side of the 101 Freeway. Access to nearby amenities and spacious floor plans make for lofty home prices, but buyers get what they pay for in this luxury area.

Quality builds of various styles and price points
A patchwork of well-planned subdivisions and gated communities, McCormick Ranch offers a wide range of upscale residences, from single-family ranch-style homes on large lots to townhomes overlooking golf courses. “Those buying homes here are families, but it’s also popular with retirees and second home buyers,” explains Ellington. Million-dollar listings are not uncommon in this neighborhood, although cozier condominiums are also available. Generally, homes fall within the range of $550,000 to $1.1 million. The lower end of the range fetches buyers a two or three-bedroom home featuring Pueblo or Spanish eclectic inspiration; the higher end features an extra bedroom here, or a pool there, with custom aesthetic tweaks.

Getting outdoors at McCormick Ranch's parks
Various parks and trails wind throughout McCormick Ranch, which is the heart of the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt—so the neighborhood often feels like one massive park. Among the local favorites, however, is the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, which is a train-themed area complete with a real locomotive, a kiddie train that circles the park, a working carousel and a Model Railroad Building with wall-to-wall, operating train sets. Residents can also spend the weekend at the nearby Great Wolf Lodge. Their massive indoor water park is a must-see.

Marking the calendar
Of all the local annual events, the Holiday Lights at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in December wins as the most magical and nostalgic. Nearby Salt River Fields at Talking Stick hosts other major events throughout the year, such as the Uncorked Wine Festival in May or the Spooktacular Hot Air Balloon Festival in October. As a win for baseball fans, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies host games at Salt River Fields during Major League Baseball’s Cactus League Spring Training every February through March, when several other teams also train in the valley.
