About Legend Trail

Legend Trail is a master-planned golf community in far North Scottsdale, located near the base of the Continental Mountains and just west of the Tonto National Forest.

 

Setting 

  • Built in the high Sonoran Desert, with big views of:
    • Pinnacle Peak
    • McDowell Mountains
    • Black Mountain
  • About 640 acres total, with ~50% preserved as open space
  • Low-density, quiet, and more “tucked away” than areas like Grayhawk or DC Ranch

 

Overall feel:
Peaceful, scenic, slightly more affordable luxury than Troon North, with a strong golf/outdoor lifestyle

🏡 Community + housing

  • Roughly 800+ homes + a small condo segment
  • 8 neighborhoods (some gated)
  • Homes range from:
    • ~1,500 sq ft lock-and-leave
    • To 6,000+ sq ft custom homes

Architecture:

  • Desert contemporary, Mediterranean, and Pueblo styles
  • Stucco, tile roofs, stone accents
  • Many lots back to:
    • Golf course
    • Natural open space (big selling point here)

⛳ Lifestyle & amenities

Legend Trail is built around the Legend Trail Golf Club, which is semi-private and a major draw.

Other amenities:

  • Community center with:
    • Pools
    • Fitness center
    • Tennis & pickleball
  • Extensive walking and biking trails throughout the neighborhood

Close to:

    • Tonto National Forest (hiking, off-roading)
    • Carefree / Cave Creek (western vibe, restaurants, events)

👥 Who Typically Lives There

  • Retirees and second-home (“snowbird”) buyers
  • Golfers and outdoor enthusiasts
  • Buyers looking for North Scottsdale lifestyle at a lower price point than Troon or Desert Mountain
  • Median age skews older (mid-to-late 60s)
