Scottsdale Ranch Properties - Scottsdale Real Estate, Joan Barnes.
Scottsdale Ranch, just east of McCormick Ranch, was built in the 1980's
on the 1120 acres that Kaiser-Aetna sold off from their original McCormick
Ranch purchase. Scottsdale Ranch homebuyers have easy access to shopping
at the Mercado which features AJ's Specialty Food market, sports cafes and
restaurants. A 31-acre multi-use park offers a variety of sports and
recreation opportunities. Residents will find baseball diamonds, basketball,
tennis, racquetball and volleyball, plus large grass areas with shade trees
and picnic areas. The tennis center features 12 lighted tennis courts, four
lighted racquetball courts and one lighted squash court. There are also six
lighted sand volleyball courts, picnic areas, four half-court basketball courts,
four lighted ball fields and a children's playground. Adjoining the park is
Via Linda Senior Center, and the Scottsdale Boys and Girls Club and the highly
rated Laguna Elementary School. These facilities keep Scottsdale Ranch in high
demand with families. Apartment style condominiums, townhouses and estate homes
surround the 42-acre Lake Serena. The Scottsdale Ranch community clubhouse offers
small party boat rentals for special occasions and embodies the neighborhood feel
that Scottsdale Ranch is known for.
