Grayhawk

Grayhawk is a master-planned community in far North Scottsdale built around 2 championship golf courses. You get newer homes, golf at your door without private club dues, and a quick drive to Kierland, Desert Ridge and the 101.

At a Glance

• Single family: median around $1.35M, about 65 days on market
• Zip 85255, built from the late 1990s through the 2000s
• About 30 minutes to Sky Harbor
• Paradise Valley Unified School District

Single-family figures are MLS medians for closed sales over the 12 months ending November 2026. Prices move monthly. Ask me for a live MLS pull before you decide.

How It Operates

A master association maintains the parks, trails and common areas. Many of the gated enclaves inside carry a second HOA. The 2 courses at Grayhawk Golf Club, Talon and Raptor, are daily-fee, so you can play without buying into a private club. Homes range from condos to custom estates.

Why I Send Relocation Clients Here

Newer construction, golf without club dues and a central location for North Scottsdale and North Phoenix. It is also the only community on my list in Paradise Valley Unified instead of Scottsdale Unified.

Schools

Paradise Valley Unified. Grayhawk Elementary is inside the community. Middle school depends on the address, and Pinnacle High serves most homes. The Scottsdale Unified line is close, so always confirm by address with the district.

Golf

Talon and Raptor at Grayhawk Golf Club. TPC Scottsdale and Troon North are each about 15 minutes away.

Eat, Drink, Shop

Shops and restaurants at Scottsdale Road and Thompson Peak. Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarter and Desert Ridge are about 10 minutes.

Parks and Weekends

Neighborhood parks and pools, the Musical Instrument Museum, Desert Ridge and events at WestWorld.

Know Before You Buy

Prices swing hard between enclaves, and homes on the course pay for the view. Ask which enclave a home is in and what both HOAs charge before you fall in love with it.
