Is there new construction in North Scottsdale right now, and who is building?

Yes, and more than most people expect. As of October 18, 2026, I count more than a dozen communities in ZIP codes 85255 and 85262 where a builder is selling or still building new homes, from gated townhomes priced under $1 million to estates over $3 million.

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. Everything below comes from the builders' own sites where I could read them, and from NewHomeSource's listings where I couldn't, checked October 18, 2026. Prices and availability change without notice, so call me before you drive out and I'll check what's open that day.

According to DC Ranch's own site, The Haven sits at the northeast corner of 94th Street and Bell Road, next to DC Ranch but not part of it. It's 52 homesites, ranging from a quarter acre to more than half an acre, and all 52 have already sold to homeowners or builder partners. American First Builders, the same builder behind homes in DC Ranch's Silverleaf village, is building modern luxury spec homes of roughly 4,000 to 8,000 square feet behind a gatehouse. Construction is underway on eleven homes right now, with the first residents expected in February 2027.

DC Ranch's own site puts expected home prices there at roughly $1,500 a square foot, on homes running 4,000 to 8,000 square feet. The homesites themselves sold for between $1.5 million and $2.4 million before any home went on them. If a finished home in that price range comes up for resale before the community is built out, I can also watch for that.

Sereno Canyon is a Toll Brothers community with a sales center at 12558 E Chama Rd, in ZIP 85255. According to Toll Brothers' own site, it's selling four separate home types right now:

• Villa. 2,509-3,353 square feet, from $1,389,995. Six move-in ready now.
• Enclave. Duet-style, 2,157-2,722 square feet, from $1,400,000. Four move-in ready now.
• Manor. 3,665-4,737 square feet, from $2,180,995. Two move-in ready now.
• Estate. 4,121-5,193 square feet, from $2,787,995. Two move-in ready now.

It's a gated, resort-style community, with a fitness center, a pool, outdoor gathering areas and a firepit. Four price points sit under one gate, so which one fits you comes down to size and layout.

Storyrock, in the Dynamite Foothills area of ZIP 85255, has three builders selling at once, and each one is building something different.

• Toll Brothers at Storyrock (sales center at 12835 E Black Rock Rd). Canyon: 3,350-4,737+ square feet, from $1,910,995, two move-in ready. Overlook: 4,121-5,193+ square feet, from $2,394,995, two move-in ready.
• The Reserves at Storyrock (Shea Homes). From around $2,136,119, floor plans running roughly 3,776 to 4,779 square feet.
• Signature at Storyrock (Shea Homes, sales address 13004 E Harper Dr). From $3,349,120, 4,334-5,493 square feet. Shea's own site showed four homes left, including the model.

David Weekley Homes is also building in Storyrock. Listing sites show different home counts and prices for that section right now, so rather than quote a figure I can't confirm against the builder's own current page, call me and I'll get David Weekley's current price and availability straight from their sales office.

Four more communities in the same ZIP code, each a different kind of home.

• Shadow Ridge (Camelot Homes). Four-bedroom single-family homes of about 4,500 square feet, listed from about $2.9 million.
• Aria at Silverstone (K. Hovnanian Homes). A gated community of townhomes, 2,436 to 2,673 square feet, listed from the high $800,000s. This is the lowest entry price of anything on this page.
• Atavia (Belgravia Group). A gated community of 88 luxury condominiums. Listing sites show very different prices for it, so I'm not quoting one. Call me for the current numbers.
• Optima McDowell Mountain Village (Optima). Condominium towers southeast of Scottsdale Road and the Loop 101, with one- to three-bedroom homes. Listings say it's due in spring or summer 2027, and they disagree on pricing, so confirm both with the sales gallery before you plan around it.

Silverleaf, inside DC Ranch, also has new homes going up. I wrote that one up on its own.

The 85262 ZIP code is further north and has the largest homesites.

• Toll Brothers at HighPoint (sales center at 39971 N 115th St). Single-level homes on large desert homesites, averaging more than two acres. The Pinnacle Collection runs 3,350 to 4,299+ square feet, from $1,584,995. The Summit Collection runs 4,121 to 5,500+ square feet, from $1,914,995. Toll's page lists four quick move-in homes.
• Preserve Ranch (David Weekley Homes, 12839 E Ironwood Dr). A gated community of 17 homesites, each an acre or larger. Homes run 3,544 to 4,346 square feet with plans from $2,289,990, and Weekley's page lists the HOA at $425 a month.
• The Edge at Joy Ranch (Camelot Homes). A planned 52 homesites near Lone Mountain Parkway and Joy Ranch Road, listed from about $2.4 million.
• Seven Desert Mountain. Three builders are selling inside the Desert Mountain community. Camelot's Villas II is 23 lock-and-leave single-family homes backing the No. 7 course, 2,768 to 2,985 square feet, listed from about $2.4 million. Camelot's The Retreat is condominiums of 2,499 to 2,716 square feet, listed from about $2.1 million. Cullum Homes' Village at Seven Desert Mountain is listed from about $4 million for a 3,569 square foot home.

Desert Mountain is a private golf community, so ask each builder what club membership comes with the home and what it costs before you fall for a floor plan.

The person at a builder's sales desk works for the builder, not for you. Walk in and register on your own, without an agent, and some communities won't let you add one later. Tell me before you go and I'll get you registered first. Here's what I walk every buyer through before they see a single house, new construction or not.

Check the date on whatever you're reading, including this page, before you build a budget around it. Starting prices and quick move-in counts change week to week, and the listing sites don't always agree with the builders.

If price of entry matters most, Aria at Silverstone's townhomes are the only new homes here listed under $1 million. If you want a lock-and-leave home, Villas II and The Retreat at Seven Desert Mountain are built for that. If you want land, Preserve Ranch gives you an acre or more, and Toll Brothers at HighPoint averages more than two.

If you'd rather move in today than next year, a resale inside DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch or Grayhawk is finished now. Here's my DC Ranch area guide if you want to compare it against building new.

In October 2026, the Cromford Report had single-family homes in ZIP 85255, the DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch and Grayhawk area, at a median sale price of $1,700,000 over the past 12 months, with 3.3 months of supply. That means it would take a little over three months to sell everything currently listed at the pace homes are selling now. That figure covers every resale in the ZIP code. It doesn't price any one of these three new-construction communities.

Call me at (480) 203-6605 or get in touch, and tell me your price range and which of these you're picturing. I'll check what's open before you make the drive, and I'll register you with the builder first so you keep the right to have your own agent.
