Luxury desert living, world-class golf, and the kind of trailhead-to-patio lifestyle that’s hard to explain until you’ve felt it.
Four Peaks at Troon Village homes nestled against the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale, Arizona
I’m Kelli Grant, and I’ve been showing up for buyers and sellers in Scottsdale since 2005. Four Peaks at Troon Village isn’t just a listing area for me — I live right here near the Troon foothills. I know which trailhead gets the best sunset light, which patio at Raven Gastropub you want on a Friday in November, and exactly why my clients who move here from out of state end up telling their friends to come too.
So when people ask me what it’s actually like to live in Troon Village not the brochure version, the real one, this is what I tell them.
What Makes Four Peaks at Troon Village Different
Four Peaks sits in the northeastern corner of Troon Village at roughly 2,400 to 2,800 feet of elevation, which means you get real desert drama boulder-strewn hillsides, saguaro-studded ridgelines, and views of the McDowell Mountains that change color by the hour without giving up proximity to everything North Scottsdale does well. This is Scottsdale luxury real estate built around outdoor living and comfort, not just square footage.
The homes here were built by Shea Homes, ranging from about 1,810 to 2,800 square feet, with open layouts, abundant natural light, and the kind of seamless indoor-outdoor flow that desert living demands. You’re not choosing between mountain views and a manageable HOA in Four Peaks, you get both.
The honest take: Four Peaks is for the buyer who wants the golf-course polish of Scottsdale and the relaxed, boots-off, trail-dust lifestyle of Carefree and Cave Creek. It’s the overlap of those two worlds refined but not stiff. That’s rare, and it’s exactly why I love it.

Low HOA, High Standards
The Troon HOA is professionally managed by AZ Community Management, and residents pay into both 4 Peaks Desert View and the Troon Village Association. Total HOA fees run around $50 a month genuinely low for the level of community upkeep and access you get. HOA details shift over time, so if this matters to your decision, I’ll always confirm current numbers with you before you write an offer.

You don’t have to leave the area to eat well. Some of our personal go-tos: Talavera Steakhouse and Proof Canteen at the Four Seasons, Raven Gastropub and Lamp Pizzeria near Pinnacle Peak, Spiga Cucina Italiana, and when we head into Cave Creek or Carefree El Encanto, Kiki Rae’s, Black Mountain Cafe, Keeler’s, and Ravens View Wine Bar for a glass on the patio.
