The Desert Highlands Area includes the guard-gated Desert Highlands community and several other communities along Halley Valley Road.

Desert Highlands is an 850 acre residential golf community in North Scottsdale. Desert Highlands is located on the south slope of Pinnacle Peak, one of the area’s prominent natural landmarks. Golf membership comes with home ownership and stays with the land. Current membership fee is $150,000 and is due at closing on a Desert Highlands property.

Members enjoy more than just fine golf in a beautiful lush Sonoran Desert setting. There’s jogging and walking trails, and tennis facilities throughout the community. Enjoy the 18 hole putting course, 7,000 square foot fitness center, and award winning clubhouse. There is an outstanding tennis program with 13 tennis courts: four grass courts, six clay courts, and three hard surface LayKold courts.

Neighboring communities of Eagles Glen (to the east), Desert Skyline (to the west), and The Peak (to the south) are gated communities shown on the Desert Highlands map. The back resident-only entrance goes through Pinnacle Peak Place – a newer development with several builders.

Location, location, location: A wide array of goods and services, medical facilities and schools are just minuets away. Continue down the road for the galleries and charm of Old Town Scottsdale or up the road to Carefree’s funky western vide. Explore and enjoy the robust art culture and professional sports menu in downtown Phoenix, just a half hour drive from Desert Highlands.

Desert Highlands attend to security includes 24/7 patrolling, medical-emergency fast response, visitor control and access, quick-to-house alarm response and package hold at security front gate, to name but a handful of protection amenities.

Also find Ladera Vista and Sonoran Highlands – private gated communities far away from any busy streets.
