A newer starter home or vacation home in the North Scottsdale community of Terravita
$300,000 will buy you a small home in the desert golf community of Terravita. The community is located in North Scottsdale, so its a drive for those who have to commute into town. Peace and quiet is the norm in Terravita, with desert landscapes, walking trails, and yes, the golf course. Terravita homes have vaulted ceilings and open floorplans.

An older home in the lush community of McCormick Ranch
McCormick Ranch continues to be a popular community because of its location near downtown Scottsdale amenities and easy access to the Scottsdale greenbelt that runs through the area.
