The Rancho Monte Vista Neighborhood | Scottsdale, Arizona

Residents of Rancho Monte Vista enjoy prime access to all that Scottsdale has to offer, being located just west of Thunderbird Road and Scottsdale Road. This location is the perfect example of the mantra, “Location, Location, Location!” The community was built in the late 1970s and reflects the ranch style in many of the homes, still in nearly original condition. Homes in the community range in price from around $700,000 to over $1.3M, with a median price closer to $850,000. The big influencer in pricing for this neighborhood, much like any that is well-established, is the amount of renovation to the home. Buyers can find great opportunities to buy low and invest in renovations to increase their home’s value and function substantially.

Many original homes offer two to four bedrooms. However, the renovated selections can include additional bedrooms, a home office space, gym facilities, and luxury bathrooms. Newly renovated homes are also likely to offer a chef-style kitchen with massive appliances capable of cooking for larger groups. Outdoor upgrades are also popular and include pool and spa combinations, resort-style outdoor living areas, and al-fresco dining.

Families in the Rancho Monte Vista community have access to many parks and outdoor activities, including Sandpiper Park, Crossed Arrows Park, and Cactus Park, all just a short drive away. Equally as important to parents are the Paradise Valley schools that serve the neighborhood. Sandpiper Elementary, Desert Shadows Middle School, and Horizon High School are all highly rated and respected for their quality teaching and abundant extra-curricular activities.
