Palo Viento 1 is a high end subdivision at the western edge of McCormick Ranch. Not to be confused with its sister subdivision, Palo Viento 2, which sits on the other side of a small golf course lake, Palo Viento 1 was originally developed all the way back in 1975. Rampant redevelopment has seen brand new homes go up in place of older ones in recent years.
And for good reason.
The location along the water and McCormick Ranch Golf Course, as well as proximity to the ultra high dollar Paradise Valley Farms and Gainey Ranch, makes this some of the most valuable real estate in all of Scottsdale. The older homes are prime candidates for builders/investors looking to erect multi-million dollar palaces in their place.
There are 107 homes in Palo Viento 1, 95 of which as single level. The remaining 12 of two-level homes. The vast majority (90 out of 107) of the homes have private pools. The average home size is 3119 sq ft. The average lot size is 14,022 sq ft (approx 1/3 acre).
Ideally situated between the Gainey Villages shopping/dining district at Scottsdale/Doubletree and the ever-popular Mercado Del Lago center at Hayden/Via De Ventura, Palo Viento 1 straddles the border between several highly desirable communities. Part of it all while somehow still feeling like its own private enclave. Luxury living, but without the pretentiousness.
If you are tired of cookie cutter homes and mass production style homes and floorplans, Palo Viento 1 might just be for you. Whether you prefer the charm and personality of the original 1970s architecture, or you want something more modern, you can find it here, albeit at different ends of the pricing spectrum.
Enjoy all of the benefits of McCormick Ranch (lakes, walking paths, greenbelts, parks, shopping, dining, excelling schools, etc) that makes it a fan favorite while getting something just a little more unique than most subdivisions offer.
