Meet Our Host The Homestead Community Center at DC Ranch
DC Ranch is a 4,400-acre community located adjacent to the matchless grandeur of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in North Scottsdale. Inspired by the original beauty and authenticity of the land, DC Ranch is the result of careful consideration of how the elements of community come together.
Diversity flourishes at DC Ranch with 26 unique neighborhoods nestled within four distinct residential villages – Country Club, Desert Camp, Silverleaf, and Desert Park – sharing open spaces that accentuate a sense of living with the land. The first home was completed in 1997, and currently 2,800 homes and approximately 7,000 residents live on the Ranch.
