North Scottsdale Real Estate: Your First Choice in the Luxury Property Market
Everyone dreams of a sun-drenched locale to call home. From endless rounds of golf to sipping a cool drink on a warm afternoon to watching the setting sun color the horizon a brilliant golden red, the allure of the sunshine captivates us all.
For the lucky few who can purchase property in a sunny getaway, the choices are many. But for the seasoned traveler, it should come as no surprise that the best place to enjoy sun-dappled rays is in Arizona, where resort living and a refined yet luxurious lifestyle have roots that go back more than a half century. Here in the heart of the Valley of the Sun, North Scottsdale real estate has a longstanding reputation as the finest property available for desert living, championship golf, posh spas and fine dining and shopping.
One of the last places to find luxury North Scottsdale real estate is Sereno Canyon, a premier community offering custom acre-plus home sites in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains. A rare combination of pure Sonoran Desert beauty and unparalleled amenities, Sereno Canyon is the ideal place to while away the hours in sun-kissed bliss.
But why choose Sereno Canyon's luxury Scottsdale real estate over other sunny Southwestern locales like California, New Mexico, Las Vegas and even Mexico? See our comparison below, and you'll discover - the difference is real at Sereno Canyon.
1. Sound investment - Many other sunny locales present significant risk, but North Scottsdale real estate is widely regarded as a smart investment. With more than 50 years of sustained growth in the luxury and resort markets, as well as a strong city infrastructure, investing in Scottsdale makes sense - especially compared with an unstable Mexican economy, rapid unplanned growth in Las Vegas and sky-high prices in Southern California.
2. Reasonably priced - When it comes to luxury real estate, North Scottsdale offers a much lower price that inflated markets like Southern California or Palm Springs, where property alone can cost several million dollars. At Sereno Canyon, each of our 122 custom home sites averages 2.5 acres - a more spacious option than you'll find in other locales.
3. Secure ownership - Mexico is a great place to vacation, but buying property south of the border can present some hurdles. Mexican regulations prohibit foreign ownership of all land near borders and coastlines - where many communities are found. To get around this, luxury vacation properties often employ a bank trust to hold title to a property. The trust allows buyers to retain the benefits of ownership; however, litigation is not uncommon, and a change in Mexican law could even take away your rights to the land. North Scottsdale real estate offers the ideal climate, yet without the hurdles of international ownership.
4. Developed amenities - Real estate in less-developed areas like New Mexico woos residents with lower prices, but those lower prices often mean a lack of established amenities. The fact is, you won't find a community anywhere else with such close proximity to the variety and quality of services and amenities available at Sereno Canyon. No less than a dozen stunning golf courses are minutes away, as are gourmet grocers and restaurants, couture fashion, world-renowned spas, top-notch medical care and more.
5. Old-fashioned class - Unlike the brand-new luxury communities in places like Las Vegas, North Scottsdale still retains its Old West charm and heritage. Although golf, dining and shopping are all top-of-the-line, you'll still enjoy the rugged, laid-back feel of this former ranch land, making it an easy place to call home.
