DC Ranch
WELCOME TO DC Ranch
DC Ranch is North Scottsdale master planning at its best — a foothills community woven into the base of the McDowell Mountains with village-scale neighborhoods, gated enclaves, and two private clubs, including the Country Club at DC Ranch. Market Street gives residents their own main street of restaurants, shops, and services, while more than thirty miles of paths and trails connect parks, community centers, and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Homes range from lock-and-leave villas to significant estate properties, and Kierland, Scottsdale Quarter, and the Loop 101 are all about ten minutes away.
Overview for DC Ranch
