Relocating to Desert Mountain
Relocating to Desert Mountain puts you in a gated private-club community in north Scottsdale, at elevations from around 3,000 feet up, with seven golf courses. Many relocating buyers come for the golf and the setting, and the first thing to settle is whether club membership, which requires approval, is part of the plan.

How I help from a distance
I’m Valerie Moe, with Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living. Before your visit, we narrow Desert Mountain’s wide range of homes to a short list by size, views and maintenance. During escrow, I coordinate the inspection, financing and closing and keep you updated wherever you are. See from offer to keys.
What newcomers ask
Schools: Cave Creek Unified serves Desert Mountain. Distance: it’s at the north end of Scottsdale, so drives to Old Town and Phoenix are longer than from central Scottsdale, which is worth timing before you choose.
