DC Ranch is Arizona's premier golf and residential community located in the majestic high Sonoran desert of north Scottsdale. The community's location at the western foothills of the McDowell Mountains provides panoramic views of Scottsdale and Phoenix below. Developed with a deep respect for the integrity of the land and a commitment to the preservation of open desert space, DC Ranch is a living tribute to the Sonoran Desert landscape. Its distinctive custom estates, unique single family, and attached and detached homes emphasize front-of-house living and technological sophistication. Tree-lined streets, inviting parks and intimate residential settings are planned to distinguish this classic neighborhood design. Four distinctive village neighborhoods, centered around neighborhood parks, offer a variety of attached villas, single-family homes, luxury apartments and condominiums.

In every respect, DC Ranch is worthy of its reputation for offering its residents an enviable standard of living. Silverleaf, a separate private guarded-gate neighborhood in DC Ranch, stands as a natural extension of the community, nestled into surrounding canyons. Throughout DC Ranch, a small-town atmosphere exemplifies the lifestyle and serves the needs of those who live here. The result is a connected living environment dedicated to the full expression and enrichment of all who make DC Ranch their home. Shared by all the residents are remarkable amenities offered at two community centers. Some of the features include lighted tennis and basketball courts, Olympic-size pool, children's wading pool, children's adventure playground, exercise and fitness room, poolside and garden patios, meeting rooms for clubs, celebrations and events, a community-wide intranet, and a full calendar of events and activities. Walking trails will eventually extend to over 33 miles. Two private country clubs (DC Ranch Country Club and Silverleaf) are located within DC Ranch.

Golf is a favored activity at DC Ranch, featuring The Country Club at DC Ranch and The Silverleaf Club, two classically designed courses, each with an elegant, private club, offer challenging play against a backdrop of white-sand bunkers, dramatic mountain vistas and city views.

DC Ranch is located at the base of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale just east of Pima Road at Thompson Peak Parkway, three miles north of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. The location of DC Ranch allows for easy access to the Loop 101 (Pima Freeway), which connects to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, valley airports and interstate freeway system.
