Desert Crest is a large community featuring spacious family-friendly houses surrounded by an unspoiled natural high desert landscape and fabulous mountains to the east and west. While Troon Mountain is the small of the two in view, it is nearby and offers many opportunities for hiking and exploring close to home. To the east lies the magnificent McDowell Mountain Range with countless notable peaks and trails, including Tom’s Thumb, East End Peak, Lookout, Inspiration Viewpoint, and Horseshoe Ridge.
Most houses in Desert Crest date back to the 1990s and feature almost 2,900 to over 3,400 square feet of living space. Two to five bedrooms and full baths are the norms for the original floorplans. However, many houses have undergone some renovations over time to create added functionality, such as converting a bedroom to a gym, home office, or media room. Three-car attached garages are also a typical feature in the neighborhood. Many houses also feature extended patios for additional outdoor living space and to accommodate a swimming pool or other activity areas. The substantial natural spaces between the street and houses offer added privacy for added enjoyment of outdoor spaces. Walking and biking trails in these areas provide great exercise and the ability to be immersed in the community’s natural beauty.
The homes in Desert Crest average roughly a million dollars. However, the entry point is closer to the mid-$800s.
