Windgate Ranch

Windgate Ranch is smaller and more contained than either. Toll Brothers built all of it to one Spanish Colonial vocabulary, so the streetscape reads as one place rather than a patchwork. DC Ranch and Grayhawk are larger master plans built by many builders, with more retail and, at DC Ranch's Silverleaf, private club golf. Windgate Ranch trades a club for direct Preserve access and a tighter, more walkable core.

No, and that's by design. Windgate Ranch doesn't have a course inside the gates. What it has instead is close to six acres of open space, three pools and spas, tennis, pickleball and basketball, plus a path network, and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve's Gateway trailhead a short drive away. For golf, residents use nearby public and private courses rather than a club tied to the address.

Every home pays one HOA, covering the guarded gate, the pools, courts, playgrounds and trail network, plus design review for any exterior or landscape change. Reported monthly dues vary across sources and have moved over time, so we don't quote a figure here. We pull the current assessment for the specific property before you write an offer.

Because Toll Brothers repeated the same floor plans, roughly 2,200 to 6,300 square feet, pricing here tracks lot and view more than layout. As of September 2026, homes were trading mostly in the high one millions to just over three million, with a recent median near $1.9 million. Real comparables exist here more than in most North Scottsdale communities, so we lean on those over an average.

Windgate Ranch is zoned to Scottsdale Unified School District, with homes generally assigned to Copper Ridge School for kindergarten through eighth grade and Chaparral High School, the same as much of the surrounding DC Ranch area. Notre Dame Preparatory, a private high school, sits less than a mile away. District boundaries do shift, so we confirm the specific address with SUSD before it drives a decision.

It depends more on presentation than the calendar. North Scottsdale inventory has climbed year over year and buyers have more leverage than they did two years ago, but well-priced, move-in-ready homes with a strong view lot still move at a fair pace. Because Windgate Ranch has real comparables, floor plan for floor plan, we start with recent closed sales on your street, not a town-wide median.
