Custom Homes in the Scottsdale Area

When looking to invest in North Scottsdale homes, there are a few options to consider before making an ultimate decision. North Scottsdale has seen quite a bit of development in the past few years, so knowing all the different kinds of properties out there and what they offer will help in making a sound investment decision.

Custom homes allow you to define a home that really stands out from the pack. If you are looking at your house as an investment opportunity, there is no better way to set yourself apart than to find a piece of land for sale in the heart of Scottsdale and hit it with gusto.

Sereno Canyon is a community nestled into the foothills of the McDowell Mountains that offers estate-sized home sites to allow the individual owner the creativity to design their dream home. Each generous plot of land for sale promotes privacy while complementing the surrounding desert landscape.

The Sereno Canyon community is not a McMansion* development. We mention this because with the housing boom came the boom of many little developments. While these developments made housing a little bit more affordable for the masses, it also brought a lot of cookie cutter style architecture to certain parts of the Scottsdale area. While these homes don’t make bad investment choices, they certainly do not make the best ones.

In Sereno Canyon, there are no specific floor plans; there are no list of houses to choose from. You get two and a half acres to do with what you please. That is the beauty of a North Scottsdale Custom home. These types of investments simply are not that common anymore; all the land has been snapped up. Especially with parcels of this size. A two and a half acre lot is a playground of desert for you and your family to enjoy.

*McMansion was a term coined by environmentalist Jay Westervelt to describe an assembly-line style of luxury housing. Often these houses are built to look high end, but ultimately use shoddy building materials or veneers to make things seem better than they are. They are in areas not meant for houses of their stature and generally do not have a lot of surrounding land separating them from their neighbors. These houses often end up resented in the areas they are located in, as they both block the view and change the character of the neighborhoods.
