“Pima Acres is where buyers go when they want DC Ranch’s location and schools but their own acre and their own architect. It is one of the few places left in the corridor to build exactly what you want.” — Anne Sostman

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.

Real Estate

What Buyers Need to Know.

Pima Acres trades the amenities and gates of a master plan for land, privacy, and architectural freedom, in the same school zones and minutes from the same corridor. Figures below are approximate and move with the market.

Schedule a Private Conversation

High $1M to ~$10M

Vacant lots have traded near $500K. Smaller finished homes start in the high $1M range, with many homes in the $2M to $3M range and new builds approaching $10M at the top. Median value hovers around $2M. These are approximate, market-dependent figures, ask for a current ARMLS pull before pricing.

1 to 2+ Acre Lots

Most lots run a little over an acre to nearly two acres, far larger than the typical North Scottsdale subdivision. The acreage supports detached garages, guest casitas, pools, sport courts, and, where zoning allows, horse privileges.

Custom, Not Production

Homes are individually built and there is no single tract builder, so architecture, age, and size vary widely. Buyers can also acquire one of the remaining undeveloped sites and build to their own plans.

Pima Corridor Location

Off North Pima Road just north of the Loop 101, Pima Acres is minutes from DC Ranch, Silverleaf, the 101 interchange, and North Scottsdale retail, the location of a master plan with room to build your own.

Lifestyle

Why People Choose Pima Acres.

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

Acreage & Privacy One- to two-acre lots mean real separation between neighbors, room for casitas, pools, and detached garages, and a quiet, low-density feel rare this close to the 101.	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.
Pima Corridor Location Minutes from DC Ranch, Silverleaf, the Loop 101, and North Scottsdale shopping and dining, central access without master-plan density.	Top Schools Scottsdale Unified School District, Copper Ridge Elementary, Copper Ridge Middle, and Chaparral High serve the neighborhood, the same sought-after zones as nearby communities.
