Desert Highlands is a private residential golf community that opened its gates in 1983 and offered a new design of exceptional desert living. In every way, Desert Highlands set a higher standard in community, amenities and individualized, environmentally harmonious architecture.

Setting the standard by which all other private golf communities are measured, Desert Highlands consists of 560 home sites spread out amongst 850 acres of lush Sonoran desert. Currently, over 490 custom homes have been completed in Desert Highlands. Homes range in price from $995,000 to $8 million, and homesites start from $575,000. 
 
Within minutes of Desert Highlands residents can take care of everyday needs: grocery shopping, dry cleaning, gourmet coffee, restaurants, salons, upscale clothing and gift shops.  Equally important is the close proximity of respected schools and medical facilities, including the world renowned Mayo Clinic and Hospital.  A little further are the galleries and charm of Old Town Scottsdale to the south or Carefree to the north, and the cultural district and sports arenas of downtown Phoenix.
