Grayhawk homes for sale by product type

Of the 117 currently active listings, the split runs roughly 30 single-family detached, 44 townhomes and villas, 36 condos, and 7 custom estate offerings above $2 million. The townhome category has the most active inventory because lock-and-leave second-home buyers continue rotating through Cachet, Encore, Avian, and Silverstone product. The single-family Park category sees the strongest absorption velocity, with average days on market under 50 days for properly priced 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes.

When Was Grayhawk Built and Who Developed It?

Grayhawk was developed by Grayhawk Development beginning in 1995, with the first homes delivered in 1995 and the master plan officially opening in 1996. Grayhawk Development closed initial build-out in 2004 with approximately 2,000 units in The Park and 1,600 units in The Retreat, expanded over subsequent years to the current total of more than 3,700 homes and roughly 4,000 residential units when counting condos and villa enclaves. The plan was designed around two championship golf courses and a connected trail system that preserved roughly 40 percent of the 1,615 acres as natural Sonoran Desert open space.

The development is consistently cited as one of the most successful master-planned communities in the American Southwest. Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate was voted Arizona’s #1 master-planned community by AZ Business Magazine readers. The architectural palette intentionally complements the desert landscape, with low-profile southwestern and contemporary styles dominating Park lots and more upscale custom architecture concentrated in Retreat Village. A full-time resident Lifestyle Director was installed early in the build-out, a programming role that still runs today and contributes to the community’s reputation for active social life and resident retention.

Where Is Grayhawk Located and How Is Access?

Grayhawk sits in the heart of North Scottsdale, bordered by Pima Road to the east, Scottsdale Road to the west, Thompson Peak Parkway to the south, and Pinnacle Peak Road to the north. Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) runs immediately south of Thompson Peak Parkway, giving Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate residents the most convenient North Scottsdale freeway access of any luxury community in the submarket. Sky Harbor International Airport sits roughly 25 to 30 minutes south via Loop 101 off-peak.

The Park neighborhood is open-access (only the Pinnacle enclave inside The Park is gated). The Retreat side is fully guard-gated with two 24-hour manned entrances, separating Raptor Retreat (west) and Talon Retreat (east) sub-villages. Each guard station logs visitors and enforces guest registration. Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate also includes a third internal gate at the Pinnacle enclave inside The Park. The community is bordered immediately to the south by HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center, and the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale campus sits less than two miles southeast.

What Are the Grayhawk Sub-Communities & Neighborhoods?

Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate breaks into 31 individual neighborhoods spread across two main villages. The Park covers roughly 2,000 single-family lots oriented around grassy parks, playgrounds, picnic ramadas, and the 13-acre Grayhawk Community Park. The Retreat covers roughly 1,600 units across guard-gated villages oriented around the Talon and Raptor golf courses. Below are the principal named sub-communities.

What Schools Serve Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate?

Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate is one of the few Scottsdale luxury communities served entirely by Paradise Valley Unified District rather than Scottsdale Unified. All three feeder schools earned an A grade in the official Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F release. Grayhawk Elementary sits inside the community itself on Grayhawk Drive, a meaningful advantage for families with younger children since walk-to-school is realistic from most Park lots. Per the official ADE FY25 release, Paradise Valley Unified District earned a B district letter grade across its 42 schools, but the three Grayhawk feeder schools all earned individual A grades.

School attendance is generally simpler in Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate than in adjacent North Scottsdale communities because the entire master plan sits inside one district (PVUSD). However, the three feeder schools have specific boundary lines for street-level eligibility, so verify the exact attendance zone for any address before writing an offer. Open enrollment within PVUSD is also available subject to capacity at each school.

Source note: All letter grades on this page reflect the official Arizona Department of Education FY25 A-F release (April 15, 2026), the most current state-issued data available. Third-party aggregators (Niche, GreatSchools, SchoolGrade) are secondary references only and do not override official ADE grades.

Is Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate Safe?

Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate ranks among the lowest crime density neighborhoods in Scottsdale. The Park area benefits from active street life, public sightlines along greenbelts and trails, and proximity to HonorHealth Thompson Peak Medical Center which generates around-the-clock through-traffic. The Retreat side adds 24-hour manned guard gates, controlled visitor logging, and private security patrols inside Talon Retreat and Raptor Retreat. The result is one of the most consistently low-incident master plans in the entire submarket.

Law Enforcement Jurisdiction

Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate is policed by the Scottsdale Police Department, a single-agency jurisdiction covering all of ZIP 85255 inside the city limits. The District 3 patrol area covers the Grayhawk corridor, with the nearest precinct at the SPD Foothills District station. The Arizona Department of Public Safety provides highway patrol on Loop 101 (Pima Freeway) immediately south of Grayhawk. Inside the Retreat villages, contracted private security supplements but does not replace SPD response.

Inside Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate the most common incident category is package theft from front porches in The Park, followed by occasional unsecured-vehicle entries. Violent crime is rare. The Retreat side reports almost no incidents thanks to gate controls and resident-monitored guest registration. Grayhawk runs roughly 25 percent below the Scottsdale citywide property crime average and roughly 40 percent below the Maricopa County average.

What Amenities Does Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate Offer?

Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate carries one of the deepest amenity packages of any single Scottsdale community at this price point. The Grayhawk Community Association manages a 30-mile interconnected trail system used daily for walking, jogging, and biking, designed to weave through the natural desert open space that occupies roughly 40 percent of the 1,615 acres. The Park hosts the 13-acre Grayhawk Community Park (city-operated) with two lighted baseball fields, two lighted sand volleyball courts, two lighted tennis courts, two lighted basketball courts, playground, ramada, and restrooms. Thompson Peak Park (29 acres, also city-operated) sits at the southwest corner of Thompson Peak Parkway and Hayden Road with four lighted softball fields, two lighted basketball courts, and a playground.

The Retreat side adds private amenities not available to Park residents: seven community swimming pools, seven spas, six tennis courts, and multiple pocket parks behind the guard gates. Each Retreat village within Talon Retreat and Raptor Retreat has its own dedicated pool and gathering space. The full-time Grayhawk Lifestyle Director runs a programmed event calendar including Easter egg hunts, Christmas at Grayhawk, food truck nights, summer movie nights in the park, yoga classes, painting workshops, trivia nights, and seasonal block parties. This is one of the few Scottsdale master plans where the social calendar is staffed and structured rather than left to a volunteer board.

Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate sits directly across the street from the HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center campus, and the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale main campus is less than two miles east via Thompson Peak Parkway. Vi at Grayhawk, a continuing care retirement community ranked among the best in the nation, anchors the western edge of the community. Two large retail plazas (Hayden Peak Crossing and Grayhawk Plaza) border the master plan with grocery stores, restaurants, and everyday services. Isabella’s Kitchen, a casual Italian restaurant overlooking the Grayhawk Golf Club, sits directly across from the clubhouse. Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter are five to seven minutes south via Scottsdale Road.

What Makes Grayhawk Golf Club Special?

Grayhawk Golf Club is the community’s amenity anchor and a key reason Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate trades at premium pricing relative to non-golf North Scottsdale resale. The club operates two championship 18-hole par-72 courses on a daily-fee basis … no equity membership is required, you pay when you play. This structure is rare among Scottsdale golf communities of this caliber and gives Grayhawk Scottsdale residents championship access without the $50,000 to $250,000 initiation fees common at the private clubs to the north and east.

The Talon Course

Designed by PGA pro David Graham and golf course architect Gary Panks, opened in 1994. A 7,000-yard par 72 layout with a 74.3 rating and 141 slope from the Talon tees. Only 73 acres of turf, the rest left as natural desert, producing dramatic desert-target golf with elevation change and McDowell Mountain backdrops. Multiple tee placements accommodate every skill level. Talon is widely considered one of the most scenically dramatic public courses in Arizona.

The Raptor Course

Designed by Tom Fazio, opened in 1996 as Fazio’s first daily-fee course in the Phoenix area. A 7,135-yard par 72 layout with a 74.0 rating and 136 slope from the Raptor tees. More subtle undulations than Talon but consistently harder to read. The Raptor course has hosted multiple PGA TOUR events and NCAA tournaments. Signature hole: number 16 (“Little Creek”), a 211-yard par 3 with a bowl-shaped green flanked by desert features and a creek-fed pond.

Clubhouse, dining, and learning center

The 40,000 square foot Grayhawk Golf Clubhouse is the social heart of Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate. Three dining concepts operate inside: Quill Creek Cafe (casual all-day), Phil’s Grill (pub-style, named for Phil Mickelson), and The Morning Joint or “Mojo’s” (breakfast and coffee bar). The clubhouse also houses a complete golf shop and Trading Co., men’s and women’s locker rooms, conference rooms, and event space. The Grayhawk Learning Center (formerly the Kostis/McCord Learning Center) operates on-site offering private lessons, three-day golf schools, and half-day workshops for both adults and juniors.

Golf-adjacent home values

Within Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate, golf frontage carries a meaningful price premium. Resale data shows golf-facing single-family homes inside Talon Retreat and Raptor Retreat commanding 15 to 25 percent premiums over equivalent non-golf-facing homes in the same villages. Townhome and condo enclaves with course frontage (Encore at Grayhawk on the 18th hole of Talon, several Cachet units, Avian on the Raptor side) similarly trade at premiums to interior comparables.

What Are Grayhawk HOA Fees and Recent Notable Sales?

Master HOA structure

The Grayhawk Community Association is the master HOA covering all 3,700+ homes. Master HOA dues run roughly $80 to $115 per month per home depending on neighborhood and assessment level, covering the master trail system, common-area landscaping, gates, and community programming staff. The Retreat Village Association is a separate sub-HOA covering the guard-gated Talon and Raptor Retreat infrastructure, adding roughly $120 to $300 per month for gate operations, private street maintenance, and Retreat-only pools and tennis.

Sub-HOA fees by village

On top of the master HOA, most named villages inside The Retreat carry an additional sub-HOA covering their specific pool, common area, and landscape package. Total combined monthly assessments (master + Retreat + village) typically run:

• The Park single-family: $80 to $130 per month (master HOA only for most subdivisions)
• Pinnacle at Grayhawk: $180 to $240 per month (master + Pinnacle sub-HOA)
• Talon Retreat single-family: $250 to $400 per month (master + Retreat + village)
• Raptor Retreat single-family: $250 to $420 per month (master + Retreat + village)
• Cachet / Encore / Avian townhomes: $350 to $550 per month (includes townhome exterior maintenance)
• The Edge / Village / Venu condos: $280 to $475 per month (includes building exterior, roof, common pool)

There is no active Community Facilities District (CFD) assessment on Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate. Property taxes follow standard Maricopa County rates inside Scottsdale city limits.

Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate sees active resale rather than new construction, since the master plan completed initial build-out in 2004 with only scattered infill lots remaining. Custom rebuilds and major renovations on Park lots from the 1996 to 2002 build era are the most common form of “new” inventory today. Active listings rotate primarily through resale rather than developer-direct.

Why Choose a Grayhawk Realty Specialist Over a North Scottsdale Generalist?

A Grayhawk realty specialist outperforms a North Scottsdale generalist on every metric that matters: pricing accuracy, time to close, off-market access, and post-close client retention. The reason is structural. Grayhawk Scottsdale Real Estate spans 31 named sub-villages with distinct HOA fee structures, golf-frontage premiums, and resale velocity patterns. A generalist working a 4-ZIP North Scottsdale territory cannot keep that depth current.

What a community specialist knows that a generalist cannot

A dedicated Grayhawk realty agent tracks Cachet, Encore, Avian, and Silverstone townhome turnover separately from Talon Retreat and Raptor Retreat custom resale. A specialist knows which Park enclaves walk to Grayhawk Elementary versus which require a short drive. A community professional understands the master HOA plus sub-HOA fee layering and can deliver true monthly carry-cost estimates within 24 hours rather than guessing. And a dedicated agent maintains the personal relationships that surface off-market listings 7 to 21 days before public syndication.

When the local market shifts season to season … summer slowdown, fall reactivation, peak January-to-April listing rush … the specialist adjusts pricing strategy on a week-by-week basis. The generalist files comparables once and prices to a four-month-old comp.
