Are there new construction homes in Grayhawk, Scottsdale?

Title card for the article: Are there new construction homes in Grayhawk, Scottsdale?

Are there new construction homes in Grayhawk, Scottsdale?

Are there new construction homes in Grayhawk, Scottsdale? Not inside Grayhawk's own neighborhoods, but there is one outside Grayhawk's own neighborhoods. I searched ARMLS on November 2, 2026 and found no newly built homes inside Grayhawk's own neighborhoods, and the only new community nearby is Aria at Silverstone, a gated townhome community from K. Hovnanian at Williams Drive and Scottsdale Road, outside Grayhawk's own neighborhoods in the same 85255 ZIP code. Grayhawk itself is nearly 3,800 homes, from condominiums and townhomes to single-family homes and golf-course property.

I'm Jen Keene, a REALTOR® with eXp Luxury in Scottsdale, AZ, and I'm the agent people call at every stage of their life. By new construction I mean a brand-new home that a builder is selling now, and that's the question to settle before you drive out to look at anything.

How do I tell a new build from a resale?

Start with who the seller is. A builder sells a new build and a homeowner sells a resale, however recently the house was built, so a home someone has already lived in is a resale even if it was finished a few years ago. Ask for the year built and ask whether the seller is a builder or a homeowner, because a listing can say new and still be a resale. If it is a new build, here's how builder incentives work.

What kinds of homes are in Grayhawk itself?

Grayhawk is two neighborhoods, The Park and The Retreat, and The Retreat is guard-gated around the Raptor and Talon golf courses. Both have single-family homes, and there are also eight condominium and townhome communities. Six of them are in The Park: The Edge, Encore, Tesoro, The Venu, Village at Grayhawk and Vintage. The other two, Avian and Cachet, are inside The Retreat's gate.

If you want a new home at Grayhawk, decide which of those you mean first, because a single-family home in The Park, a home behind The Retreat's gate and a condominium or townhome are three different purchases. Here's my Grayhawk area guide.

Is Aria at Silverstone part of Grayhawk?

Aria at Silverstone is its own community, and K. Hovnanian sells it under that name. Its homes have Scottsdale addresses in ZIP 85255, the same ZIP code Grayhawk uses, which is why it comes up in a Grayhawk search, and it isn't one of the communities the Grayhawk Community Association lists as part of Grayhawk. Go by the community name on the purchase contract.

K. Hovnanian's own page for Aria at Silverstone lists it as a gated community at Williams Drive and Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85255, and on November 2, 2026 it said the community was selling by appointment only, with a sales office on Raintree Drive. Builders change prices and square footage often, so I haven't quoted any here, and if Aria at Silverstone is on your list, ask the builder for current prices before you go. Here's the full list of who is building in Scottsdale right now.

How do I find out whether a builder is selling inside Grayhawk right now?

Check two places and compare them, the MLS and the builder's own website. If both show a builder with a home for sale in the Grayhawk neighborhood you want, ask for the builder, the address and what's available. If they don't, the resale homes in that neighborhood are where to look, and you'll know that before you drive anywhere. Or call me and I'll check what's active for you.

What should I do before I visit a builder's sales office?

Call me first. A builder's sales agent works for the builder, so I'd rather be with you from the first visit. Before you see a single house, you'll want two things in place, your pre-approval and the buyer broker agreement. Here's what that looks like step by step.

What should I ask about HOA costs on a new home near Grayhawk?

Ask for the total, not just the first fee a listing shows. In Grayhawk everyone pays the master assessment. Homes behind The Retreat's gate also pay a Retreat Village assessment, the condominium and townhome communities have a monthly sub-association assessment, and some neighborhoods with their own pool, spa or courts add a neighborhood assessment. A condominium inside the gate at Avian or Cachet carries three of those, and a single-family home in The Park may carry one. Here's what each of those pays for in Grayhawk.

On a new build outside Grayhawk, such as Aria at Silverstone, the HOA is a separate question, so ask the builder what the dues are, what they cover and who maintains the common areas.

What should I watch for when I search for new homes at Grayhawk?

Don't treat every result in ZIP 85255 as Grayhawk. The ZIP code also covers DC Ranch and McDowell Mountain Ranch, so a listing that says 85255 tells you the postal area and nothing about the neighborhood, and the community name on the listing and the contract is what to check. A resale that has been renovated is still a resale, so ask who the seller is.

When you compare a builder's price with a resale price, compare what you'd pay each month and what you'd bring to closing for each home, along with the number on the sign. And have a new home inspected by your own inspector, the same as any other.

What if I want to move in soon, or I want a new build?

If you want a finished home, a resale in one of the Grayhawk neighborhoods is ready now. Ask for the recent sales in your part of Grayhawk, so the price you offer comes from homes that match what you're buying.

If you want a brand-new home, the search is wider than Grayhawk and may include a townhome community like Aria at Silverstone or other builders in north Scottsdale. Ask the builder which homes are available before you spend a Saturday driving to sales offices. And if you want golf, Grayhawk's Raptor and Talon courses are open to the public, so you don't need a club membership whichever kind of home you choose.

What should I do next?

Call me at (480) 203-6605 and tell me whether you want to move in soon or have a home built, which side of Grayhawk you like and your price range, and I'll check what's available.
