North Scottsdale

Few people realize, but Scottsdale is a very long rectangle of area which reaches all the way to the Tonto National Forest, up by the city of Carefree. The section of Scottsdale that starts from the 101 and extends north is referred to as North Scottsdale, or its dubbed name “NoSco.”

North Scottsdale is where residents live in the beauty and harmony of “desert wilderness.” The largest concentration of luxury homes in Scottsdale lies in this section of the city, including some of Arizona’s most luxurious guard-gated subdivisions such as Silverleaf, DC Ranch, Estancia, Desert Mountain, Grayhawk and many others.

Residents enjoy the peace and serenity of nature, while still in reach of amenities such as the DC Ranch Shops, McDowell Mountain Ranch, world-famous golf courses and fine dining.
