Overview
What Is Pima
Acres?
Pima Acres is a custom-home neighborhood in the Pima corridor of North Scottsdale, accessed off North Pima Road just north of the Loop 101 (Pima Freeway), near the intersection of Pima Road and East Hualapai Drive in the 85255 zip code.
It is made up of roughly 140 home sites on lots that are generally a little over one acre and up to about two acres, large parcels by Scottsdale standards. Many sites remain undeveloped, so buyers can purchase land and build or buy an existing custom home. Homes are individually designed rather than production-built, giving the neighborhood a varied, non-cookie-cutter streetscape.
The community’s appeal is its combination of acreage, privacy, and location: it sits within a few minutes of DC Ranch, Silverleaf, the 101, and North Scottsdale shopping and dining, while offering lot sizes and a build-your-own flexibility those gated master plans do not.

What makes this small acreage enclave a compelling place to call home.

Custom Architecture
No tract builder and no uniform product. Homes are individually designed, and remaining lots let buyers build their own, a freedom the gated master plans rarely offer.
