Marc Brodeur, Grayhawk Scottsdale Realtor

Scottsdale condos are not known for their affordability. Scottsdale is after all one of the most expensive areas in Arizona. Within the Scottsdale real estate market, Grayhawk in North Scottsdale is one of the most upscale communities. Grayhawk is considered one of the most prestigious communities with two golf courses and close to the best shopping and restaurants in Scottsdale. Shockingly, you can currently get a 1 bedroom loft condo for $95,0000 in The Edge at Grayhawk. The housing crash has turned back the hands of time to years ago when Grayhawk condos were affordable. Take advantage of the crash of real estate prices to get into the exclusive North Scottsdale housing market. Live the Grayhawk lifestyle.

I am sure you are probably thinking you can't possibly get much for under $100,000. Many people assume that it must be a pretty bare bones condo community. Absolutely not. The Edge at Grayhawk is a beautiful complex, full of amenities usually found at much more expensive complexes. There are two community heated pools and spas and a 3000 sq ft poolside gym with state of the art fitness equipment. The clubhouse has a $4 million Great Room including a sports lounge with 15 flat screen TVs, electronics game room with X-box, Playstation 3 & Nintendo Wii, billiards room, home theatre and an entertainment kitchen area with resident chef for event tasting. The Edge activities van shuttles residents to concerts, sporting events and activities. Full time concierge staff is available to assist residents with requests for everything from restaurant reservations and event tickets to dry cleaning. There is also an owners boating club at Bartlett Lake.

Many clients ask us to see gated condos in Scottsdale with the belief that the gates will provide additional security. However, the vast majority of Scottsdale gated condo communities have a automatic electronic gate. Automatic gates will open when a homeowner with a transponder drives up to the gate or a guest enters the correct code on the keypad. It is my belief that automatic gates give very little additional security than a non-gated community. Really it is more of an illusion of security. It is very easy for you to follow another car in through automatic gates. Who is going to stop you?

GUARD gated communities are completely different. These communities have a Security Guard standing at the gate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The Security Guard prevents cars from following each other in through the gates. Guests must stop and check in with the Security Guard in order to enter the community. Sounds better doesn't it?

Now imagine a DOUBLE gated condo community. Double gated communities have TWO sets of gates. The first gate is guard gated. All guests must stop and speak to the security officer in order to gain entry. No one can follow a car through this gate. Then there is a second automatic gate, that can only be accessed with a security code. Only cars that have gone through the first gate can get to this second gate. Double gated communities offer the best security of all the different types of gated communities.

So I am sure your next questions is, which condos have DOUBLE gates? Avian at Grayhawk is a DOUBLE gated community within the prestigious Grayhawk community in North Scottsdale. You enter through the Raptor Retreat guard gate and then there is an Avian gate as well. Avian at Grayhawk is a luxury gated townhome community close to Thompson Peak and Hayden Road. It is conveniently located across the street from the Hayden Peak Crossing shopping center. It is walking distance to Starbucks, Fry's grocery store, several restaurants, Bank of America and more. Avian was built between 1997-2001. There are 6 spacious floor plans ranging from 1958 to 2455 square feet. Most units are 2 stories and all units have 2 car garages. There is a heated community pool and spa. It is close to many walking and biking trails.

Interested in a luxury condo with perfect golf and mountain views in Scottsdale? Sounds appealing, doesn't it. Grayhawk is a master planned community in North Scottsdale that has many condos, townhomes and villas with perfect golf views. Three Grayhawk townhome communities have units with beautiful views of the Grayhawk Golf Club. Tesoro at Grayhawk, Encore at Grayhawk and Avian at Grayhawk all have golf frontage. Prices start as low as $349,ooo for a beautiful 3 bedroom townhome with a golf view in Tesoro at Grayhawk. Prices increase from there and can go as high as $849,000 for a luxury golf villa in Avian at Grayhawk. I always recommend to my clients that they purchase a condo with a golf view over one without. The reason is two fold, first there is nothing that equals the tranquility and peacefulness of living on a golf course. Secondly, golf lots are excellent investments. The small additional price to get a golf view is almost always worth it financially. Golf view condos are always in high demand. Grayhawk golf homes appreciate well and sell fast. They are a great investment.
