Life in the Los Castillos Neighborhood | Scottsdale, Arizona

The Los Castillos community sits at the corner of Cholla Street and 56th Street and has less than 20 spacious homes. The lots in the neighborhood provide the space needed for privacy, outdoor activities, and the ability to customize to create your ideal property with a guest house, casita, or cabana. The area is well-established, offering large trees and lush plants for a resort-like feel each time you arrive home. 

With most of the homes in the Los Castillos community built around 1980, those that have not been renovated can appear dated. However, those are the homes that fall on the lower end of the pricing spectrum and offer the opportunity for a significant increase in value after updates. The price range in the community ranges from $940,000 to $1.6M for these spacious homes. Having four to five bedrooms and three or four bathrooms is the norm for these family-focused properties.

Another great boon for the Los Castillos community is the outstanding public schools serving the area. The Scottsdale Unified School District is known for offering the highest quality education in the state. In addition, families in Los Castillo send their children to Sequoya Elementary, Cocopah Middle School, and Chaparral High Schoolfor their K-12 education.

Located between the 51 and the 101 just north of Shea Boulevard, Los Castillos provides residents great flexibility when moving around the city. Shea is a direct route to both freeways and the doors of the Scottsdale Campus of the Mayo Clinic. Tatum Boulevard also offers excellent access to downtown Phoenix for work or play.
