Tucked away in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, McDowell Mountain Ranch or "The Ranch" as it is referred to by locals, is a 3,200 acre master planned community. The community's location in Northeast Scottsdale makes it an ideal spot to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of the Sonoran Desert.
At the core of the community is the McDowell Center, which is a community center that is host to over 25 different clubs reflecting the interests of the community residents. Just adjacent to the center is basketball, tennis and volleyball courts, a swimming pool and spa facility, picnic ramadas with barbeque pits, a children's playground and splash fountain and an open grassy recreational area.
