The Cholla Estates Neighborhood Homes for Sale

Cholla Estates is a small community of less than a dozen custom homes in the heart of desirable Scottsdale. Just minutes from the intersection of Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard, this community offers spacious homes built in the 1970s, most of which have undergone significant renovation and transformation to become like-new homes. A nod to outdoor living is standard, with newer courtyards, extensive patios, and expansive deck space around many of the most amazing pools in the Scottsdale area.

Homes in Cholla Estates average roughly 3,500 square feet and offer the typical three to five bedrooms and three to four baths. However, many of the renovations have altered the layout to feel much more open and family-friendly than they were at the time they were built. In addition, some of the bedroom spaces could have been repurposed to offer features such as a home office, gym, or study.

Homes in this sought-after community average nearly $1.5M, but the level of detail and renovation significantly impact the prices. Buyers can shop for a less renovated selection to add personal touches and details after a purchase closer to the $850,000 price point.

Students living in Cholla Estates will enjoy attending Scottsdale Unified Schools. The highly-ranked schools serving this community include SSequoya Elementary, Cocopah Middle School, and Chaparral High School..

Being close to the 101 Pima Freeway, homeowners have easy access to many great activities and events in the area, such as Westworld of Scottsdale, car shows, sporting events, and family activities. McDowell Mountain and Taliesin West are options for a day of exploration and adventure.
