The Sunrise Shadows Neighborhood | Scottsdale, Arizona

Sunrise Shadows is a tiny community of only twenty properties located north of Cactus Road along 68th Place. The neighborhood was built in the late 1970s and includes the larger lot size and ranch-style homes that were in great demand at the time. The benefit for today’s buyers is that they rarely find lots as spacious and useful as the ones in Sunrise Shadows.

Homes in Sunrise Shadows range in price from around $800,000 to $1.5M and range from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet. The original builds were typically three or four bedrooms with two to four baths. With larger lots and the flexibility the space offers, many buyers are eager to purchase in this community. They have plans for whole home renovations, added space such as a casita, or resort-style outdoor living spaces that are impossible in many surrounding neighborhoods.

This very family-friendly neighborhood has an average homeowner age of 44 and many families. Parents appreciate that their children attend quality Paradise Valley schools with a sense of community and dedication to student success. The schools serving Sunrise Shadows include Sandpiper Elementary, Desert Shadows Middle School, and Horizon High School.

Cactus Road provides direct access to the 51 and 101 for a fast commute to downtown Phoenix, ASU Campus, and Sky Harbor Airport. In addition, exceptional medical care is offered at the nearby Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Campus.

While the size of the lots in Sunrise Shadows might be intimidating to some, visionaries see it as a rare and almost priceless opportunity to add new life to this established community.
