You are mired that age old Scottsdale Real Estate quandary: You want a central location in an established community, but you don't want the older construction that typically attends such preferred locales.
You love the walking paths, lakes, nearby shops, schools, mature landscaping with honest to goodness trees (In the desert? Who knew?). You could do without the brass fixtures and 4x4 inch porcelain tile that look like holdovers from the set of the Partridge Family, however.
At some point in every Scottsdale home buyer's journey, a choice must be made. Will location and community amenities win out, or will the tug of newer construction pull the intrepid Real Estate explorer further off the beaten path (and into the desert reaches of the McDowell Mountain foothills north of the Loop 101 freeway corridor). There is no right choice. Both options boast strong resale potential (yes, I am aware of the irony that attends the notion of resale value in the modern foreclosure jungle) for the very criteria that make such a choice an excruciating one to make.
What if I were to tell you that you didn't have to compromise, however? Amongst the renowned planned communities that lie within the bounds of central Scottsdale, there are a few pocket niches of infill and newer semi-custom homes that defy neighborhood norms.
For example, the McCormick Ranch subdivision of Estate Los Arboles (in the Paseo Village area of Southern McCormick Ranch) includes a handful of semi-custom Hancock homes that were built in the 1990s to round out a neighborhood that was originally developed between 1979-1980. Such homes do not come on the market often, but are one mere example of newer construction that you can find in the planned community stalwart.

How many darn communities are in that Ranch anyway?
We never landed on the moon. Those four NASA dudes are holed up in McCormick Ranch somewhere.
Lenza is just jealous that you get out and know your communities. Development and subdivisions take time to grow and mature, knowing where those diamond are make you an asset to buyers in your area. cw
Cheryl, when I get out of Rahway Prison I'll have plenty of time to reacclimate reorient myself with my community.
I'll be showing Lenza homes within 3 years. Of course, he will come to me as "Mr Smith," having just turned state's evidence.
