Pinnacle Peak Place:
A Gated Enclave at Desert Highlands' Doorstep.
North Scottsdale, Arizona · 85255
Pinnacle Peak Place is a gated community of roughly 80 homes on 124 acres east of Pima Road in North Scottsdale, adjacent to Desert Highlands. The proposition is proximity: the Pinnacle Peak corridor's geography and address at the doorstep of its most established golf community — without the mandatory club membership that defines ownership next door.

Overview
What Is Pinnacle Peak Place?
Pinnacle Peak Place is a gated community of approximately 80 homes on 124 acres in North Scottsdale's 85255, sitting east of Pima Road adjacent to Desert Highlands — the 850-acre guard-gated golf community on Pinnacle Peak's south slope where club membership is mandatory and runs with the land. Pinnacle Peak Place shares the corridor's setting and carries none of that structure.
Local specialists note a detail that captures the relationship: a resident-only back entrance connecting toward Desert Highlands. The communities are neighbors in the fullest sense — same geography, same corridor, different terms of ownership. At roughly 80 homes across 124 acres, Pinnacle Peak Place holds a middle scale: larger than the corridor's smallest enclaves, far more intimate than the golf communities around it.
Real Estate
What Buyers Need to Know.
Pinnacle Peak Place trades on position and flexibility. Buyers comparing the corridor's communities should weigh what each address includes and requires: adjacent Desert Highlands binds a club membership to every deed, while Pinnacle Peak Place leaves that decision with the owner. Within the gate, value follows the usual corridor logic — lot, views, build, and renovation vintage, evaluated home by home.
Lifestyle
Why People Choose Pinnacle Peak Place.
The Pinnacle Peak Place buyer wants the corridor without conditions. They value the gate, the 85255 address, and the high-desert setting beside the corridor's most established golf community — while keeping club life, if they want one at all, a personal choice. The community suits full-time residents and seasonal owners alike who define the corridor by its geography rather than its memberships.
