McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale AZ

McCormick Ranch is Scottsdale's first, and arguably greatest, master planned community.  Incorporated in 1972, McCormick Ranch was developed in phases to become what it is now today.  Known for two championship 18-hole golf courses, more than 25 miles of bicycle paths, public tennis courts, 130 acres of man-made lakes, it is the greenery which makes it famous.  With available land not as abundant as it once was, it is highly unlikely that the Valley will see another community as devoted to ammenities.  These ammenities are not just for show either as the lake system and greenbelt (Camelback Walk) was designed as a water drainage system.  In conjunction with the Indian Bend Wash, it is equipped to handle a 100-year flood.  For all of the terrific ammenities, the annual planned development fee is a mere $180 per household.

Homes in McCormick Ranch were primarily constructed from the early 1970s through the mid 1980s, with scattered in-fill construction.  Development began along the southern boundary at Indian Bend Road and progressed northward incrementally to Shea Boulevard.  It is bound on the west by Scottsdale Road and 92nd St on the east.  One fill-in condominium development is currently under way. 

Home prices range from the low $200,000s for a small condo to multi-million dollar properties on acre or waterfront lots.  There are two high school districts with McCormick Ranch.  Residents south of Via de Ventura Rd are in the Saguaro High School District, while those north of Via de Ventura are included in the Chaparral High School District.

There are 3 resorts in McCormick Ranch:  The Millenium Resort Scottsdale McCormick Ranch, The Radison Resort and Spa, and the Scottsdale Conference Center Resort.

Public Parks include the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, Rotary Park, Mountain View Park, and several smaller neighborhood parks.
