Scottsdale Luxury Homes

The prime real estate that is today home to Scottsdale luxury homes once had the exotic-sounding name of "Vashai S'vash-onih." In the Hokan-Coahuiltecan language of the local Yavapai Indians, this translates as "The Place of Rotting Hay..." not exactly a flattering description. Small wonder the name was changed to Scottsdale. Today's well-manicured Scottsdale luxury properties belie that impression held by the early natives. Given the spectacular desert scenery, the abundance of cultural and educational institutions, entertainment venues and recreational facilities, it's small wonder that Scottsdale luxury homes are so valued by investors and homeowners alike.

Upscale Residences in Prime Communities

Scottsdale luxury real estate is generally defined as having a value of $1 million or more, although some residential Scottsdale real estate comes in at $10 million or more. In addition, such Scottsdale luxury properties can be identified by the three hallmarks of quality real estate: location, location, location. A Scottsdale realtor can show you luxury homes for sale that are located right next to beautiful desert preserves and convenient to world-class golf courses.

Some gated communities also feature amenities such as full health club facilities, tennis courts, community swimming pools and bicycle and hiking trails.
