Silverleaf

Location and setting

• Located in North Scottsdale at the northern edge of the McDowell Mountain foothills, roughly 20–25 minutes from downtown Scottsdale and about 30–40 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor (depending on traffic).
• Gated, master-planned luxury community with dramatic desert and mountain views, winding roads, and significant elevation changes.

History and Character

• Developed beginning in the early 2000s on former ranch land; built as an upscale, low-density enclave focused on privacy, large lots and custom homes.
• Blend of large estate lots, custom-built luxury homes, and some smaller luxury villas; architectural styles vary but emphasize high-end finishes and desert-appropriate design.

Housing and Price Range

• Predominantly custom estates on large lots (often 1–5+ acres) plus luxury homes and a limited number of patio/maintenance-managed properties.
• Prices (market-dependent) typically range from the high $1M’s for smaller/lower-end home offerings to $5M+ for signature estate properties; ultra-high-end estates can exceed $10M. Expect premium per-square-foot pricing compared to most of Scottsdale.

Neighborhoods & Lot Types

• Gated villages and private enclaves within the overall community, each with its own character and view corridors.
• Some areas are more secluded with larger acreage; others are closer to the Silverleaf Country Club and clubhouse amenities.

• The Reserve at Silverleaf — private, high-end clubhouse and concierge services for members.
• Extensive walking/hiking trails, scenic overlooks, equestrian areas in nearby neighborhoods, and well-landscaped common areas.
• Tight-knit, resort-style social life focused around club events, golf, dining, fitness and outdoor living.
