Luxury homes with unsurpassed mountain scenery welcomes buyers to Shea Corridor
Author and native son of Scottsdale, Zane Grey, could have been marveling at the scenery around Shea Corridor when he wrote, “I need this wild life, this freedom.” With spectacular mountain views and abundant outdoor challenges, it’s no wonder that Scottsdale is a top 20 fastest-growing city in the U.S. Whether home seekers are looking for the ideal house in a golf-course neighborhood, or a low-maintenance condominium that allows free time for cyclists to chase their PB on the road, Shea Corridor offers an unsurpassed setting. Bordered by Scottsdale and Phoenix to the southwest, and the Salt River and Superstition Mountains to the east, residents of Shea Corridor can make the most of an outdoor, desert lifestyle.
Beautiful mountains, rugged hills, and pristine fairways blend with city parks, equestrian venues and whitewater rafting, all less than 10 miles from home. Subdivisions in Shea Corridor feature paved walking paths, thanks to Maricopa County, that lead to schools, parks and shopping centers. Homes provide styles beyond what’s expected in the desert southwest. As Lauren Ellington, a 20-year Realtor with Realty Executives explains, “Buyers come to Shea Corridor for several reasons: big homes, large lots and great schools. But the other key advantage here is living close to Highway 101, which provides easy access to Phoenix and Scottsdale. I’ve sold to many medical professionals, and with the hospitals and medical centers in the area, Shea Corridor offers them the fastest commute.”
