La Mariposa Villas (technically La Mariposa Villas 3) is a small cluster of patio homes in the southeastern portion of McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ. Zoned single-family detached despite many sharing a common wall with a neighbor, these homes provide a great hybrid option for those who value the privacy and autonomy of single family living, but maybe not the maintenance required for standard single-family homes on larger lots. The HOA maintains the front yards here, so residents need only look after their modest backyards. Maintenance of the homes themselves falls on the residents, of course.
Originally developed in the early to mid 1980s, La Mariposa Villas features 68 total properties; 63 of which are single level. The remaining 5 are multi-level. The average sized home is 1793 sq ft, and the average lot size is 4577 sq ft. 15 of the homes (22%) have their own private swimming pools. All residents have access to a community pool that sits at the entrance to the subdivision.
There is a monthly HOA fee, which is just shy of $200 as of 2026, in addition to the annual McCormick Ranch fee (currently $265/year).
Residents enjoy the community multi-use paths that stretch throughout McCormick Ranch and connect them to the various parks, shopping centers, lakes, greenbelts, golf courses, etc. The Paseo Village shopping center offers local favorites like The Vig, Luci’s at the Grove, NYC Bagels, LA Fitness, and more in addition to services like dry-cleaning, hair salon, yoga, shoe repair, etc. More options are readily available at the Scottsdale Pavillions, including Roadhouse Cinema, Salt River Fields (spring home of the Diamondbacks), iFly, Great Wolf Lodge, Kids That Rip, Mavericks, and much more.
Whether you are looking for lower maintenance living without moving all the way to a condo or townhouse, or just prefer a more budget friendly entry point to McCormick Ranch, La Mariposa Villas just might be for you.
