DC Ranch
About DC Ranch
DC Ranch is a 4,400-acre upscale master-planned community located adjacent to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in North Scottsdale. The community strives to blend with the Sonoran Desert landscape in order to maintain the natural beauty of the desert. Over half of the land is protected to ensure longevity of this vision.
In 1997, the first home in DC Ranch was built. Today, there are over 2,800 homes and approximately 7,000 residents. DC Ranch has over 25 diverse neighborhoods and is comprised of four distinct villages: Country Club, Desert Camp, Desert Parks and Silverleaf. Prices are as diverse as the home type and style and range from $500,000 to multi-million dollar estates.
Life on the ranch is busy and the community strives to maintain a small town vibe, while providing an amenity rich lifestyle. The Country Club is home to the award winning Tom Lehman golf course and The Silverleaf Club boasts the Tom Weiskopf-designed championship golf course. In addition to golf, these family clubs offer members swimming pools, tennis courts, a spa, fitness center and private clubhouses with dining and social events. Activities are plentiful and all ages from toddlers to snowbirds can get in on the fun!
Other amenities include: Two neighborhood community centers, playgrounds, a splash pad, heated pool and tot pool, lighted tennis courts, basketball courts, pickle ball, fitness centers, over 50 miles of paved walking trails and a community-run theater playhouse.
Market Street is the commercial hub of DC Ranch. This mixed-use neighborhood retail center offers everything from a grocery store, to dining and retail boutiques. Popular venues include Grimaldis Woodfire Pizza for a casual bite or grab a glass of wine and enjoy the patio at The Living Room.
DC Ranch is within the Scottsdale Unified School District Boundaries and students are zoned for Copper Ridge K-8th and Chaparral High School.
