McCormick Ranch Real Estate Series: The Subdivisions

Just about anyone who has spent any time at all in Scottsdale is familiar with the planned community of McCormick Ranch.

Lake Margherite in McCormick Ranch

A community which includes some 23,000+ residents, many are less familiar with the approximately 50 individual subdivisions that fall under its umbrella.  With radical differences in architecture, amenities, pricing, etc from one subdivision to the next, a prospective home buyer will need to drill down further than general awareness of the McCormick Ranch community at large to find the specific pocket that best suits his/her needs.  With this in mind, we launched our McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series.

Featuring individual spotlights for the various subdivisions that compose McCormick Ranch, you now have a one-stop resource shop for everything you want to know about Scottsdale’s first master planned community.  Builder overviews, subdivision statistics, editorial opinion, neighborhood values, homes for sale, amenities, school info, new listing feeds, photos, maps, street views, floor plans … this is as comprehensive as McCormick Ranch Real Estate gets.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Los Tesoros

Los Tesoros Home in McCormick Ranch

Los Tesoros in McCormick Ranch is a small pocket of homes that dots the cul-de-sacs along the West side of Arabian Trail between Via Linda and Hayden Rd.  Comprised of 48 total homes, Los Tesoros features custom homes that are sometimes mistaken for the Golden Heritage built homes of the neighboring Heritage Terrace, or the Dix built homes of Tierra Feliz.

Bordering the walking path that separates McCormick Ranch from Gainey Ranch, Los Tesoros features unique architectural styling and floor plans.  No cookie cutter boxes here.  Following are the pertinent neighborhood statistics.

  • Of the 48 total homes, 47 are single-level.  The lone holdout is a two-story.
  • 41 of the homes (85%) feature private swimming pools
  • Most construction occurred between 1979-1983.  Two homes were built after that period: one in 1985, and one in 2000.

  • 2 car garages are typical
  • Zoned R1-7 for single-family residences with 7000 square foot lot minimums

Bike path separating McCormick Ranch from Gainey Ranch

Some of the properties which fall on the Western edge of the subdivision (in the curves of the cul-de-sacs) include private gates that lead directly out to the walking path.  Following the path, Rotary Park lies to the South and Mountain View Road lies to the North.  All residents are within walking distance of Lake Angela (as well as Lake Nino and Lake Margherite beyond). Camelback Walk (the McCormick Ranch walking path system) will actually lead residents to virtually all reaches of the Ranch and beyond.  Nearby attractions include dining (Buster’s On the Lake, Royal Barge, The Melting Pot, Zipps, TCBY, Chipotle, etc), golf (The McCormick Ranch Golf Club), parks (Mountain View Park, Rotary Park, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, etc), fishing / boating, shopping (The Shops at Gainey Village) and more.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Meridian on McCormick Ranch

Meridian on McCormick Ranch is a newer patio home community along the McCormick Parkway corridor in McCormick Ranch. While largely detached, single-family style properties, the neighborhood falls under townhouse zoning (allows for ownership of individual lots as well as indivisible interest in the common area).  Aside from conversion projects in the Northern portion of the Ranch as well as the newly completed Veritas luxury townhouse complex in the Paseo Village area (developer lost to the bank prior to selling any units, however. Stay tuned for developments with the Veritas project), Meridian constitutes, perhaps, the best option for newer patio home style construction in the Ranch.  The unique combination of newer than typical construction/architecture and low-maintenance, single-family living is largely unrivaled in McCormick Ranch.

Directly next door to the older Spanish Oaks townhouse subdivision, Meridian on McCormick Ranch is located in the immediate facility of the McCormick Ranch Golf Club, Camelback Walk (McCormick Ranch walking path system), the Scottsdale Resort and Conference Center, Camelback Lake and the Millennium Resort.  Following are the notable statistics for the Evans Withycomb built community.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Tierra Del Norte

Tierra Del Norte in McCormick Ranch is a small, u-shaped neighborhood that is often mistaken for the Paradise Park Trails subdivision that surrounds it.  A pocket of only 21 homes, Tierra Del Norte was one of several subdivisions developed entirely or partially by Hancock (Camelot) Homes.  With construction ranging from 1979-1993, the original models were similar to those Hancock / Camelot built in Vista De La Tierra, Palo Viento 2, Playa Del Sur, Paseo Village and Paradise Park Trails.  In addition to a couple of hybrid plans (Hancock was one of the few builders in the McCormick Ranch area that allowed for a fair amount of customization at the time of construction), there are two homes built in the early ’90s that feature unique layouts.

Located along the Arabian Trail semi-circle East of Hayden Rd and bounded by Mountain View Rd and Shea Rd on the South & North, respectively, Tierra Del Norte in composed of single-family homes ranging from 2078 sq ft – 3572 sq ft.  Following is the statistical lowdown:

  • Average size home is approximately 2924 square feet
  • All 21 homes are single-level
  • 20 of the homes (95%) include private swimming pools
  • The original homes in the subdivision were constructed with block, the newer construction with frame-wood
  • 2 car garages are standard, but there are 3 car garage properties in the neighborhood as well
  • Zoned R1-10 for single-family residential lots with 10,000 square foot lot minimums
  • Lot sizes range from 10,792 – 21,447 square feet (approx 1/4 acre – 1/2 acre)
  • Cochise Elementary, Cocopah Middle and Chaparral High School districts

Read more about the schools of the Scottsdale Unified School District

With ready access to the adjoining greenbelts, residents of Tierra Del Norte can follow Camelback Walk (McCormick Ranch walking path system) to get virtually anywhere in the Ranch.  Cochise Elementary School and Mountain View Park are less than a mile away and accessible without having to cross a major street (the paths lead underneath Mountain View Rd).  Further exploration leads an intrepid walker, jogger or cyclist to the 3 primary McCormick Ranch Lakes (Lake Angela, Lake Nino and Lake Margherite) and along the McCormick Ranch Golf courses.  One could follow all the way to Tempe if so inclined.  In the other direction, one could limp directly to the Shea complex of Scottsdale Healthcare (hospital) to get that bum ankle looked at.

Shopping and dining is readily accessible at the Mountain View / Hayden intersection (Joyful Chinese Dining, Ranch Pharmacy, etc), at the Via De Ventura / Hayden Rd intersection (The Melting Pot, Royal Barge Thai Cuisine, Zipps Sports Bar and Grill, The Village Roastery, etc) as well as the numerous establishments found along the Shea Rd and 90th St corridors.

Near it all, Tierra Del Norte is sometimes overlooked amongst more well-known subdivision names in McCormick Ranch.  If a sizable single-family home on an equally sizable lot in the Northern portion of McCormick Ranch is on your wish list, I encourage you not to make the mistake of omitting this terrific neighborhood from your search.
