The Pinnacle Peak community is comprised of several neighborhoods, all in close proximity to each other near the intersection of Pinnacle Peak and Pima Roads. Surrounding this intersection you can find a wide variety of businesses, shops, and services to make your daily living effortless. Homes are large, well-appointed, and carefully designed to enhance the desert landscape rather than distract from it.
