Pinnacle Peak
The desert neighborhoods around Pinnacle Peak Park — a mix of small subdivisions, custom acreage and older homes ready for a second life.
Outside the big gated clubs, the Pinnacle Peak area is a patchwork of smaller subdivisions and individual lots. That variety is the opportunity: some lots have light or no association rules, and many older homes are good candidates for a full remodel.
The desert neighborhoods around Pinnacle Peak Park are a patchwork of small subdivisions and custom acreage, with boulders, washes and views of the peak. Most lots run from about 0.46 to 0.89 acres. Desert contemporary and updated territorial homes fit best, and many 1980s and 1990s homes are being opened up to the views.

Parts of Pinnacle Peak may fall under Scottsdale's Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) overlay, confirmed parcel by parcel. How ESL works
Washes may carry drainage easements.
HOA and design review
Design review depends entirely on the subdivision — some have active architectural committees, others none. We check the recorded restrictions for your lot early.
Homes that fit Pinnacle Peak
Desert contemporary and updated territorial homes fit best. Remodels of 1980s and 1990s homes are common, often opening up rooms to the views and rebuilding outdoor living.
