Terrific communities encompass the 85259 Zip Code. If we were speaking geographically abou tit we would say that it’s located in the East Central part of Scottsdale. Some folks may wonder then, why we include the 85259-zip code in North Scottsdale? The same folks rightly ask the question about 85254, 85258, and 85260 as well? After all, if you look at the long (32 miles) city of Scottsdale, you’d see it to be more central or South Central than north.
It was not too long in Scottsdale’s past (1960’s) that if you lived around Shea Blvd, that was considered “nose-bleed” country. Even McCormick Ranch (85258) was considered pretty far north from Old Town.
So the answer seems to be that for many of us who have been here for awhile, these zip code communities were a part of North Scottsdale.
85259 Zip Code contains numerous upscale communities, such as Stonegate, The Ancala Country Club, portions of Scottsdale Ranch, Scottsdale Mountain, Cactus Gates, Rancho Trinidad, Hidden Hills, and Bella Montagna.
Mountain and City light views, terrific convenience to recreation, shopping, golf, and health facilities abound. In fact, some folks refer to the Shea Blvd N/S dividing line as the “Medical Mile” with Honor hospital and the Mayo clinic plus hundreds of all types of medical offices within a few miles.
Schools are excellent in the 85259 community which includes Desert Mountain High and Middle public school. One of the highest rated schools in the country is the Basis Charter School encompassing grades 5-12. Anasazi Elementary is another excellent choice.
As of the summer of 2022, 71 homes were listed for sale at an average list price per square foot (PSF) of $480. Under Contract listings average list prices PSF are $430, while closed median sales over the past 6 months averaged $1.085M.
Our market is changing. When updated in July, we’ll see greater listings and fewer sales, reflecting a Valley and National trend.

Do you like water? Lakes? Golf? Mountain views? If so, then this North Scottsdale zip code (85258) is for you.
The 85258-zip code was primarily built around several key and lush massive planned unit developments, with nationally acclaimed McCormick Ranch starting things off in the 1970’s. Lush greenbelts, lakes, lots of foliage, golf, retail shopping and dining, and still close to the popular Downtown (Old Town) this community struck popularity pay dirt. Partially vaulted ceilings, and step-down living rooms were all the rage.
McCormick Ranch is located west of the Loop #101, whereas Scottsdale Ranch is built east of the #101.
Seeing the amazing success with McCormick Ranch, Scottsdale Ranch next appeared on the scene during the 1980’s. Many lakeside developments grew up in Scottsdale. Wide streets and sidewalks became an absolute sporting mecca for walkers, joggers, and cyclists. Combined with McCormick Ranch, these bike/walking paths from Scottsdale Ranch and McCormick Ranch weave all the way down near Tempe, without having to cross a major road. Generous under road tunnels dot the landscape. It’s amazing.
Following the “Ranch” tradition, palatial Gainey Ranch sprung up in the 90’s. Gainey is a first-class resort-like gated community developed west of Hayden Road. Preferred by many elites, especially local professional sports icons, Gainey Ranch tempts with privacy, greenery, lakes, golf, tennis, etc. The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa is located within Gainey Ranch.

In short, the Valley’s residential real estate market is in a full course reversal. The terrific 85258 North Scottsdale neighborhood is no exception. As you can see by our recent numbers, active listings, the lack of which, has been our serious market problem for buyers over the last few years is now climbing, having doubled in one year. More amazingly, this community’s inventory has risen over 50% in one month.
Annual sales per month have dropped 37%, yet incredibly, like most North Scottsdale neighborhoods, the median price has continued to rise, reaching $1,015,000 – an increase of 23% over last year at this time.
What Do We advise?
Seller’s, if you’re trying to catch the top of the market, you may still have some time, though time is not your ally. There are still a number of buyers looking specifically for this community.
Buyer’s, you have more inventory to look at. You may also have more negotiation room than you’ve had for over two years. Don’t be intimidated by a new home on the market. If you hve cash or a strong down payment, your offers are strong.

RECORD ARIZONA HOME SALE IN NORTH SCOTTSDALE
Ten Bathrooms? In my opinion, not the best lead-in for this AZ Central article describing the most expensive home sale in Arizona’s history. Being a guy, I’d probably lead with the amazing 17 acre parcel in DC Ranch’s Silverleaf with the 10 car garage, followed by 29,700 Sq Ft

The 85255-zip code is one of North Scottsdale’s zip codes that came to life in the 90’s with thousands of new homes being built in a number of nationally acclaimed planned unit developments, such as McDowell Mountain Ranch, Grayhawk and Troon North.
Later on, upscale communities like DC Ranch, including Silver Leaf, became, price-wise, the Paradise Valleys of North Scottsdale – gorgeous golf course neighborhoods blending in with eye-popping boulder out-croppings are to this day highly in demand.
It’s currently exploding in value, with the median price up 23% in one year, and the average price having risen 13%!
