Gainey Ranch

A central Scottsdale golf community of gated villages, where most of our work would be remodeling established homes.

Gainey Ranch is a mature, flat, guard-gated master-planned community in central Scottsdale, built from the mid-1980s around the 27-hole Gainey Ranch Golf Club. Vacant lots are rare, so the typical project is a full remodel or, occasionally, a rebuild on an existing lot.

Gainey Ranch is a mature, flat, guard-gated community in central Scottsdale, built around the 27-hole Gainey Ranch Golf Club, with many homes on the golf course or lakes. Most lots run from about 0.20 to 0.34 acres. Its 1980s and 1990s Mediterranean and Santa Fe homes are often updated into cleaner transitional or contemporary interiors, within what the association allows.

What's typical here

Typical lot size
0.20 to 0.34 acres

Based on recorded single-family sales, Maricopa County records.

Typical lots and setting

Lots are flat and mostly modest in size, with estate lots in some villages and many homes on the golf course or lakes.

Hillside and site rules

Gainey Ranch is on the valley floor, so hillside rules generally do not apply. Shared walls, golf-course setbacks and access through gated streets affect how construction is staged.

HOA and design review

The Gainey Ranch Community Association and the individual enclave associations both review exterior changes.

Homes that fit Gainey Ranch

Owners often update 1980s and 1990s Mediterranean and Santa Fe homes into cleaner transitional or contemporary interiors, while keeping exteriors within what the association allows.
