Discover McDowell Mountain Foothills

The McDowell Mountain Foothills region of North Scottsdale combines all the elements of luxury living and amazing mountain and desert vistas with the nearer-in convenience of living in Arizona premier resort community.

It has some of the city’s most sought after master-planned communities and offers many a more family-oriented environment in the developments of Ancala, DC Ranch, Grayhawk, McDowell Mountain Ranch, Scottsdale Mountain, and Silverleaf.

Recreation, both individual and group, is readily available in these places and omnipresent, as are social and community opportunities with the many amenities, community centers, golf courses, parks and trails – and an aquatic center. Many locations have mountain, desert, and city views – some with all of them.

While the region is nestled in the shadow of the McDowell Mountains, it has easy access to shopping, restaurants, health care, schools, and it’s close to many of the events and attraction for which Scottsdale is known nationally, including the Phoenix Open, Westworld, and more.

It’s also but a short drive on the nearby Loop 101 to Downtown Scottsdale, with its entertainment, arts, and tourism districts and the menagerie of events that make Scottsdale such a fun and active city in which to live.
