Scottsdale Neighborhood Spotlight: Preston Hills

Preston Hills is a two phase custom home subdivision of North Scottsdale renowned for its beautiful architecture, large homes and generous lots at a more palatable price point than many neighboring subdivisions of similar caliber.  Located along the Shea corridor near 104th St, the neighborhood is convenient to everything that Scottsdale has to offer.

Preston Hills (General)

 

Both phases of Preston Hills feature natural washes and views of the McDowell Mountains.  Within the boundaries of the award-winning Scottsdale Unified School District, the schools include Anasazi Elementary, Mountainside Middle School and Desert Mountain High School.  The lack of an active homeowner's association (HOA) has not diminished the luxury home feel of the development in the least.  On the contrary, the very lack of a governing body and exorbitant dues has contributed to its accessibility and comparatively affordable pricing structure.  While nearby developments price many in need of a large custom home on a sizable lot out of the Scottsdale market entirely, Preston Hills offers all of this with homes currently for sale in the mid to upper $700,00s (as of March 2009).

If you have looked at some of the buzzword communities like Ancala, McDowell Mountain Ranch and DC Ranch, but can't stomach the million dollar price tags for similar quality homes, you might want to give Preston Hills a perusal.

Bill, I ordinarily would have waited to post until the photos were ready, but I have an SEO time crunch.  Listing appointment in the neighborhood this morning ;)
