Boulders, Scottsdale Guide

Welcome to Boulders, Scottsdale

Boulders sits in the northern reaches of Scottsdale, Arizona, where the Sonoran Desert landscape takes center stage. Massive granite formations rise from the desert floor, and the surrounding terrain of native plants, washes, and open sky gives the area a distinctly natural character that sets it apart from the more densely developed parts of the Valley.

Homes here tend toward Southwest and desert contemporary design, with earth-toned stucco, low-slung rooflines, and large windows that frame mountain and rock views. Many properties are set on generous lots, with patios, courtyards, and pools designed for outdoor living. The setting invites time outside, with hiking, mountain biking, and golf all close at hand, and desert sunsets that become part of the daily routine.

Everyday needs are met with a short drive, and for families with young children, local options include Honey Bee Academy Preschool and Foothills Academy. Boulders suits outdoor enthusiasts, golfers, and families who want space and scenery, as well as retirees and second-home owners looking for a quiet desert retreat.
