We’re here to sell houses and chew bubblegum. We’re all out of bubblegum.
The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Estados De La Mancha
Estados De La Mancha in McCormick Ranch is a unique subdivision of semi-custom homes at the NE corner of the Hayden and Via Linda intersection. Coveted by many for the architectural uniqueness from one property to the next, the proximity to Cochise Elementary School (directly across from the subdivision’s Eastern boundary at 84th St) and the greenbelt / multi-use path system is similarly appealing.
While many of the homes were built by Tallaksen (original development of the subdivision began in 1979), homes have been built as recently as 1992 in Estados De La Mancha. Now completely built out, like most every other McCormick Ranch neighborhood, any new development will have to go up in the aftermath of a razed property. With extensive renovation dotting the area, the value of such a project can be supported (provided the budget is kept within reason, of course). The difference in style / layout from one house to the next is very appealing to the remodeler. After all, you can only do so much with a boxy plan that looks like every other house in the neighborhood.
Homes in Estados De La Mancha average 2778 square feet (approximately). Of the 91 homes, 83 (91%) feature private pools. 89 are single level, and there are two 2-story homes in the subdivision. There is a mix of flat and tile roofs. Zoned R-7 (one house per 7000 square ft minimum), most homes sit on lots in the 10,000-11,000 sq ft range.
Cochise Elementary School
In addition to Cochise Elementary, Estados De La Mancha falls within the district lines of Cocopah Middle School and Chaparral High School: perhaps the most sought after school trio in the entire Valley.
Following the greenbelt that lies just beyond the Cochise soccer fields, a jogger or bike rider can head East towards Mountain View Park, Mustang Library and Scottsdale Healthcare (Shea Campus), or West towards the McCormick Ranch lakes (Lake Angela, Lake Nino and Lake Margherite, restaurants (Buster’s On the Lake, The Melting Pot, Zipps, The Royal Barge, etc) and the McCormick Ranch Golf Club (Palm Course & Pine Course). Neighboring subdivisions include the El Paseo, Villa Hermosa, Playa Del Sur and Suggs Rancho McCormick.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Tierra Feliz
Tierra Feliz 3 in McCormick Ranch is one of several subdivisions under the “Tierra Feliz” moniker scattered throughout Scottsdale and NE Phoenix. Developed by Von Dix (Dix Construction Co), the homes of Tierra Feliz 3 lie amidst some of the most sought after Real Estate in all of Scottsdale. While by and large lacking the soaring vaulted ceilings that distinguish the properties in nearby subdivisions such as the Island at McCormick Ranch, Vista De La Tierra and Heritage Terrace, these homes are more palatable to the budget conscious as a result. Featuring durable block construction, many modern buyers actually prefer the flat ceilings due to the greater energy efficiency (those cathedral ceilings are not quite as beautiful when you open your first electric bill in July) and cost savings of cooling less total space.
Home to 78 improved lots, Tierra Feliz 3 homes average 2629 square feet. All 78 are single-level, and all but one have private swimming pools. Initial development took place in the late ’70s – early ’80s, while infill construction from another builder rounded out the subdivision in 1987 (these later homes were constructed with frame wood). As with other neighborhoods in McCormick Ranch, many properties have undergone extensive remodeling, nearly to the point of total reconstruction in a few instances. Zoned R-10 for a minimum of 10,000 square foot lots, parcels reach as large as 19,000 sq ft (approx).
Offering floor plans that range from approximately 1900-3700 square feet, Tierra Feliz offers options for many needs. The Mohawk model, in particular, is a popular plan. Named for two pitched sections of the roof which angle towards each other from the sides, this 2900 square footer (some were semi-customized and expanded) was the largest of the original Dix models. The split guest wing translates well to today’s buyer and remains tremendously appealing.
What really makes Tierra Feliz 3 special is its location. Not that there is a bad spot anywhere in McCormick Ranch, but this neighborhood is a two minute stroll from Lake Angela, and another few minutes more from Lake Nino and Lake Margherite. There is no through traffic as the Western end of the subdivision terminates at the walking path that divides McCormick Ranch from Gainey Ranch. Many residents in the culdesacs along this edge, in addition to the even numbered homes on North 80th Place, have direct access to the path (and Rotary Park beyond) via private backyard gates.
As with all subdivisions in McCormick Ranch that fall North of the Via De Ventura boundary line, Tierra Feliz 3 lies within the highly coveted Cochise Elementary, Cocopah Middle and Chaparral High School Districts.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Paradise Park Manor
Paradise Park Manor in McCormick Ranch boasts some of largest homes in Scottsdale’s first master-planned community. Developed (primarily) by the Von Dix Construction Co, there are two adjacent phases. The first phase of Paradise Park Manor is dotted with more infill custom homes than its sister, thereby increasing property values ever so slightly above those in the neighboring Paradise Park Manor 2. Both share similar amenities and boast immediate access to the greenbelt / walking path and predominantly boast Spanish architecture with tile roofs (with a few Tudor style homes thrown in for good measure). Lot sizes for both phases average around 1/4 acre (10,000-12,000 sq ft) in accordance with the R-10 zoning.
- The 64 homes in Paradise Park Manor 1 average 3335 square feet in size; 55 of which are single-level, and the remaining 9 two-stories. A whopping 62 (97%) have private pools. Homes in phase 1 were built between 1982-1984, with the most recent re-construction (tear-down of existing home and rebuild) occuring in 1998.
- The 99 homes in Paradise Park Manor 2 average 3418 square feet in size; 81 of which are single-level, and the remaining 19 two-stories. 97 of the 99 homes (98%) have private pools. Homes in phase 2 were built between 1980 and 1984.
- The 5 homes in the replat of lots 130-134 of Paradise Park Manor (custom infill in the original phase) are semi-custom properties that average 3554 square feet in size; 4 of which are single-level, and 1 is a two-story. All 5 properties have private pools. These homes were built between 1984 and 1986.
View the McCormick Ranch Home Floor Plan page to learn more about these houses.
Paradise Park Trails is bound by Arabian Trail on both the East and West (makes a semi-circle), Mountain View Road on the South and the community greenbelt to the North (runs just behind the last row of houses on E. Cheryl Dr). Neighboring subdivisions include Paradise Park Trails, Tierra Del Norte and Country Horizons. Directly across Mountain View Rd is Mountain View Park (complete with community rec center, tennis courts & basketball courts, soccer & baseball fields) and the adjoining Cochise Elementary School. The walking path which passes under Mountain View Road allows residents to access each (and the rest of McCormick Ranch beyond) without crossing a major street. While not located in the immediate vicinity of the community lakes, residents do have boating and fishing privileges as well. In addition to Cochise Elementary, the Paradise Park Manor neighborhood(s) fall within the Cocopah Middle School and Chaparral High School districts.
In addition to the numerous businesses and conveniences to be found along the Shea corridor, the shopping plaza at the corner of Hayden and Mountain View serves as a terrific neighborhood resource. In addition to the obligatory gas station, dry-cleaner and fast food joint (Burger King), there are a few great mom & pop style businesses. JP Pancake, not surprisingly, is a breakfast favorite, while Joyful Chinese Dining (formerly known as Eddie Chan’s Fine Dining) and Leccabaffi (Italian cuisine) take care of dinner. Ranch Pharmacy and Desert Tails Animal Clinic are noteworthy as well. To the immediate East, 90th St is notable for Home Depot, Petsmart, Barnes and Noble, Shea North Scottsdale Healthcare Facility (hospital) and additional dining establishments and places of business to numerous to count.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Paradise Park Trails
Paradise Park Trails in McCormick Ranch lies at the very Northern tip of Scottsdale’s flagship master planned community. Featuring homes from multiple builders, including Cavalier, Camelot (Hancock), Tarantini, Gateway and Golden Heritage, among others, the plans are as diverse as the needs of its residents.
Bounded by Mountainview Rd on the South, Hayden Road on the West, Shea Boulevard on the North and Arabian Trail on the East (main thoroughfare for the community which traces a semi-circle through the neighborhood), and composed of 276 improved lots, Paradise Park Trails is one of the largest subdivisions in McCormick Ranch. Of the 276 properties, all but one are single-level. While the majority of the homes were constructed in the early 1980s, ages range from 1978 to 2004. The average home size is 2434 sq ft, with 241 of the homes having private pools. Block and frame-wood construction are both found in this neighborhood, as are both vaulted tile, flat and asphalt shingled roofs.
View Paradise Park Trails / Paradise Park Manor in a larger map
Add the 188 residences in its sister subdivision, Paradise Park Trails 2, to the mix and the homes range in size from approximately 1700 – 5800 sq ft. The homes which line Appaloosa Trail on the Northern edge of the neighborhood sit upon some of the largest lots (1/2 – 1 acre) in all of McCormick Ranch. Many of these properties boast large custom built homes.
Facts and figures aside, this portion of McCormick Ranch is notable for the extensive walking / bike path system which stretches throughout the community greenbelts. Utilizing these paths, children in Paradise Park Trails can walk to Cochise Elementary School (homes in Paradise Park Trails also fall within the Cocopah Middle School and Chaparral High School districts) or the adjoining Mountain View Park without having to cross the heavily trafficked Mountain View Rd. While not located in the immediate vicinity of the McCormick Ranch lakes, residents do have rights of use to fishing and boating.
In addition to the numerous businesses and conveniences to be found along the Shea corridor, the shopping plaza at the corner of Hayden and Mountain View serves as a terrific neighborhood resource. In addition to the obligatory gas station, dry-cleaner and fast food joint (Burger King), there are a few great mom & pop style businesses. JP Pancake, not surprisingly, is a breakfast favorite, while Joyful Chinese Dining (formerly known as Eddie Chan’s Fine Dining) and Leccabaffi (Italian cuisine) take care of dinner.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Mountain View East
Departing from the traditional Spanish style homes that is typical in McCormick Ranch (and all of Scottsdale in general), we now turn our attention to a subdivision that is architecturally unique for the area: Mountain View East.
Mention modern architecture to most laypersons, and one name immediately comes to mind: Frank Lloyd Wright. Through Taliesin West in Scottsdale, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation continues to carry on the legacy of its iconic namesake. Personally responsible for various landmarks throughout Arizona, Wright gave birth to an entire school of architects/builders which incorporated his philosophy of “organic architecture” and design into a select few Scottsdale neighborhoods. One such subdivision is Mountain View East in McCormick Ranch.
Developed by the Riggs Construction Co. and designed by John Rattenbury of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Mountain View East is the quintessential subdivision for Frank Lloyd Wright inspired houses in central Scottsdale. From the exterior lines, which look sterile to critics and sleek to fans, to the generous use of glass to bring the outside in, you either love these ultra modern designs or you hate them. It has been my experience that people are either inspired by the styling of these homes, or think they look like dentists’ offices. No middle ground.
Built between 1979 and 1983, Mountain View East is located within what is commonly referred to as North McCormick Ranch (Chaparral High School District). There are 51 total properties in the subdivision, with the average home having approximately 2750 square feet. A whopping 92% (42) of the homes have private pools. There are 47 single level homes, as compared to only 4 2-story homes. The neighborhood is zoned R-7, which entails single family residences on minimums of 7000 square ft lots.
Clean lines, block construction, clerestory windows and all of the hallmarks of modern design are evident in these homes. Geometric shapes, from the front elevations to the rear planters and pools, are evident throughout. For Frank Lloyd Wright style modern architecture, it is just about the only game in the immediate area. There are custom homes along the lakes of McCormick Ranch and in Paradise Valley which fit the bill, but with prices starting well over a million dollars, they are not viable options for those with less extravagant budgets.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Vista Del Lago
True to its name, The view of the lake from Vista Del Lago in McCormick Ranch is something to behold. Sitting upon the Southern bank of Lake Margherite, the largest of the McCormick Ranch lakes, Vista Del Lago is a custom home subdivision. As such, the architecture and styles differ radically from one home to the next.
View Vista Del Lago in a larger map
The pocket of 49 homes is located at the NE corner of the Via De Ventura and Via Linda intersection (West of Hayden Rd). There are 43 single-level homes and 6 two-story homes in Vista Del Lago. Of these, 45 (92%) feature private pools. The average home size is approximately 3238 square feet and boasts a like of around 1/4 acre, per the R-10 zoning. Homes on the North side of E. Del Capitan and N. 82nd Place are waterfront properties with private boat dock privileges. These lots carry some of the largest premiums in all of McCormick Ranch.
The majority of the construction in Vista Del Lago took place in the late 1970s – mid 1980s. With the remaining vacant lots developed over the years and older properties razed in favor of new construction, however, there is construction as new as 2008 in the neighborhood. Homes on the water can still fetch in the multi-million dollar range, while the internal lot locations are largely in the sub $1,000,000 range at the time of this posting (notable exceptions are a few of the new builds). The most affordable homes in the subdivision line the Southern side of E. Del Barquero, as this road carries some traffic noise from the abutting Via De Ventura.
Just North of the Via De Ventura boundary line, Vista Del Lago falls within the Cochise Elementary, Cocopah Middle and Chaparral High School districts.
The Lake Margherite dam lies adjacent to the subdivision and ties in to the renowned McCormick Ranch greenbelt and multi-use walking path system (including Camelback walk along the McCormick Ranch Golf courses). Notable local amenities include the shops/dining at The Village and Mercado Del Lago centers (NW corner of Hayden and Via De Ventura), ie: Zipps Sports Bar and Grill, TCBY, Royal Barge Thai Cuisine, The Melting Pot (fondue), Buster’s On the Lake Restaurant, Chipotle, The Village Roastery coffee shop and more.
When it comes to Scottsdale living, it doesn’t get much better than McCormick Ranch. And when it comes to McCormick Ranch, Vista Del Lago stands with the premier subdivisions at the very top of the luxury home food chain.

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Paseo Village
Paseo Village was one of the first subdivisions developed in McCormick Ranch, Scottsdale‘s first master planned community.
Construction began in 1973 and continued through 1982. Suggs was the name of the builder that would become synonymous with this neighborhood, but several others built here as well, including Camelot (Hancock).
Sitting just Northeast of the Hayden/Indian Bend intersection, the Paseo Village area is often referred to as the “South Ranch.” Homes here are highly affordable by McCormick Ranch standards, and are notable for slump block construction. These properties primarily feature asphalt shingle or flat roofs, but there are vaulted ceilings with tile roofs in the area, as well.
Northern Section of Paseo Village (East of Hayden Road)
In a subdivision which includes 334 improved properties, the average house size is 2011 square feet. 326 are single level, and the remaining 8 are two-stories. 209 houses feature swimming pools (63%). Zoning is primarily R-7 and R-10, which entails residential housing with 7000 and 10,000 square foot lot minimums, respectively.
Paseo Village was one of the first subdivisions in Scottsdale to feature abundant neighborhood greenbelts and walking paths. People are still drawn to the area today for the wonderful amenities.
Southern Portion of Paseo Village (right side of thoroughfare denoted on the map).
As these properties tend to be slightly older and smaller on average than their counterparts in the Northern portion of McCormick Ranch, it is one of the Ranch’s most affordable subdivisions. As many buyers flock to McCormick Ranch for the amenities as much, if not more, than the actual house they ultimately purchase, this neighborhood is very appealing to those on a lesser budget. From move up buyers looking to break into McCormick Ranch, to empty nesters aiming to downsize from a larger home further north, Paseo Village appeals to a broad spectrum. Singles, families, active adults, seasonal residents … there is a tremendous cross-section of homeowners. And you’ll see them all while strolling the bike paths!
In the heart of the neighborhood, lies the Paseo Village Shopping Center. Breakfast favorite Lox, Stock and Bagel, Starbuck’s, The Vig, LA Fitness, and Luci’s On theGrove (coming soon) highlight the merchant list. There is also a mail center, dry cleaner, Walgreens, yoga studio, gas station, shoe cobbler and several other quaint local businesses.
The neighborhood has been further revitalized by the newer upscale townhouse development, Veritas of McCormick Ranch.
In addition to convenient access to community favorites such as The McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, The McCormick Ranch Golf Club, Camelback Walk, etc, Paseo Village also boasts Comanche Park and Shoshone Park.
Paseo Village: a great place to live, work and play!

The McCormick Ranch Subdivision Series: Vista De La Tierra
McCormick Ranch was the first master planned community in Scottsdale, AZ. Development began in the early 1970s in what is considered the South Ranch today, near Hayden and Indian Bend Rds. These early McCormick Ranch properties were constructed primarily by the Suggs Co.
As development of the Ranch progressed, new subdivisions began to sprout up further north in the late ’70s. Camelot, Dix and Golden Heritage were prominent builders along the Via Linda corridor between Via De Ventura and Hayden Rd.
Vista De La Tierra was developed by Camelot Homes (later known as Hancock). Encompassing N. 80th Place on the South, Del Caverna on the North, and bounded by Via Linda on the East and Rotary Park & Gainey Ranch on the West, the homes in this subdivision marked a sharp departure from earlier McCormick Ranch construction. Larger models and soaring vaulted ceilings with Spanish tile roofs joined the smaller properties with low ceilings. Stucco finished exteriors took the place of exposed slump block. Larger lots made Vista De La Tierra highly sought after as well.
![lake margherite in mccormick ranch Lake Margherite in McCormick Ranch](http://www.scottsdalepropertyshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lake-margherite-cropped-color-e1272681611594-300x123.jpg)
Lake Margherite in McCormick Ranch
Another big draw for the subdivision is the proximity to the McCormick Ranch lake system. Lake Margherite is the largest of the three neighborhood lakes, and lies just across Via Linda from N. 80th Place. Lake Angela lies just across Via Linda on E. Del Cuarzo. Fishing and boating are available to residents, and the famous multi-use paths circumnavigate the area as well.
Vista De La Tierra, along with the other subdivisions north of Via De Ventura are also located in the Chaparral School District. The district includes the excelling Cochise Elementary, Cocopah Middle and Chaparral High Schools. With test scores that routinely place at the top of the Scottsdale Unified School District, this just might be the most sought after district in the state.
Homes in Vista De La Tierra range from approximately 2000 square feet to nearly 4000 square feet. The original builder models included:
- The Regal – approximately 2004-2109 square feet, 3 or 4 bedrooms, no vaulted ceilings.
- The Monarch – approximately 2274 square feet, 3 bedrooms (den option), no vaulted ceilings.
- The Windsor – approximately 2364 square feet, 3 bedrooms, partial vaulted ceilings.
- The Chateau – approximately 2669 square feet, 4 bedrooms, partial vaulted ceilings.
- The Lancelot – approximately 2748 square feet, 4 bedrooms, partial vaulted ceilings.
- The Embassy – approximately 2914 square feet, 4 bedrooms, partial vaulted ceilings.

Overview of McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale AZ
In addition to the original models, there has been one instance of infill construction and total rennovation of other properties.
Camelot originally held back one lot on N. 80th Place. In the mid ’80s, the builder eventually built an expanded Embassy model, which features a 5th bedroom, bringing the square footage up to nearly 3500 square feet. Recently, several properties have been taken virtually all the way down to the ground.

Bogus Sales Gimmick of the Week: Human Popsicle
The tax credit has come and gone. The snowbirds have returned to their assorted tundras for the thaw. The Memorial Day throng is now a memory. What is a salesman to resort to when his resort town trades an idyllic spring for the mercury-bending summer that looms larger than Kirstie Alley at a Weight-Watchers’ reunion? While one hundred and fifteen degree temps have a tendency to weed out the looky-loos, you motivated home buyers continue to slather on the SPF 1000 and look at houses. If the ice cold A/C in my SUV is not quite cold enough, I’ve got just the thing to lure you into my vehicle.
The gimmick of the week is one complimentary hour in the frozen food section of the supermarket of your choice. You heard that right. What better way to cool down after an afternoon in the desert heat than to curl up next to the fish sticks until the store manager kicks you out? Considering that many of my former colleagues have traded in their licenses for name tags at grocery stores across the Valley over the past couple of years, I can call in a favor (provided they are on shift when you opt to cash in this voucher) to close down an aisle for a dubious frozen pea spill.
So remember, buy a home with Paul Slaybaugh and no one will make you leggo that Eggo until your core temperature returns to the double digits.
