About Desert Ridge

Desert Ridge is one of the newest and most rapidly evolving neighborhoods in the greater Scottsdale area. Straddling the Scottsdale-Phoenix border near the Loop 101 and Loop 51 interchange, this 5,700-acre master-planned community was designed from the ground up for modern suburban living. The centerpiece is Desert Ridge Marketplace — a massive open-air shopping, dining, and entertainment complex that functions as the community's town center. The neighborhood has attracted a younger, more diverse demographic than traditional Scottsdale communities. Newer construction, competitive pricing (by Scottsdale standards), and proximity to major employers along the Loop 101 corridor make it popular with dual-income families and professionals. The JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort adds a hospitality anchor, and the ongoing buildout means new amenities and retail are constantly being added.
