What it’s like to live in Mccormick Ranch
Lake oasis defines McCormick Ranch, where Scottsdale's distinctive planned community surrounds artificial lakes creating unexpected water features in desert environments. The established neighborhood features mature landscaping, extensive walking paths, and golf courses creating resort atmosphere for everyday living. Though rental rates reflect Scottsdale's premium positioning, the combination of exceptional amenities, mature landscaping unlike newer developments with minimal shade, and central positioning between Old Town entertainment and North Scottsdale employment typically justifies the investment for those seeking distinctive Scottsdale living beyond purely trend-focused neighborhoods.

Desert luxury defines Terravita, where this gated North Scottsdale community offers spectacular mountain views throughout the development. Though primarily owner-occupied, rental opportunities occasionally appear in upscale homes featuring desert-adapted landscaping and indoor-outdoor living spaces. The neighborhood includes a championship golf course and extensive trail systems connecting to desert preserves, though the removed location requires driving for most everyday needs beyond the immediate community.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Scottsdale Rent Report: January 2026

Welcome to the Apartment List January 2026 Rent Report for Scottsdale, AZ. Currently, the overall median rent in the city stands at $1,666, roughly the same as last month. Prices are now down 2.3% year-over-year. Read on to learn more about what’s been happening in the Scottsdale rental market and how it compares to trends throughout the broader Phoenix metro area and the nation as a whole.

Finding An Apartment in Scottsdale

Congratulations! If you’re moving to Scottsdale, you’re probably doing alright for yourself. Scottsdale is one of the more exclusive enclaves of the greater Phoenix desert metroplex. A hop and a skip from downtown and right next door to college town Tempe, you’ll never be lacking for food, entertainment, or shopping around here. Pop open a nice bottle of wine and read on.

Having trouble with Craigslist Scottsdale? Can't find that special apartment for rent on Apartment Finder or Zillow? Apartment List is here to help!

What's the Summer Like in Scottsdale?

Summer in Scottsdale feels like summer in a wok. It is hot. And then more hot. The average daily temperature from June through September is over 100 degrees. The residents here are very reliant on A/C from May until October. Every unit should have AC in some form, but you’ll want to be doubly sure that it is adequate. You’ll also want to pay extra attention to which utilities are or are not included in your rental agreement. If you are paying your own utilities, and you probably will be, request to see your unit’s power bills for the past couple years so you can calculate your true out of pocket cost per month. Your electric bill could be $80 a month or $300 a month depending on how efficient your apartment is.

South to North

In the greater Phoenix area, there are no clearly visible boundaries between cities. Phoenix, Glendale, Tempe, Scottsdale- they can all blend together, especially to new residents. We think a simple rule of thumb for gauging where you are in Scottsdale is thinking in terms of north and south.

South Scottsdale

South Scottsdale borders Tempe, home to Arizona State University, and the further south you go in Scottsdale, the more the city takes on the character of its college town neighbor. You’ll find more apartment complexes and simple condos with a residency consisting mostly of students and the youngish, working class demographics. If you’re more record shop than wine bar, this is your part of Scottsdale.

If you’re looking to rent in this part of Scottsdale, though, be sure to compare rents with similar apartments just over the border in Tempe. It’s unlikely you’ll be able to tell where Scottsdale ends and Tempe begins for dozens of blocks in any direction, but you may get charged a few bucks extra just for the perceived prestige of a Scottsdale address. Most apartments South of McDowell are considered "North Tempe".

South Scottsdale is also a good place to consider if you are looking for a flexible agreement. Landlords are more accustomed to a transient student rental pool and may accommodate a month-to-month lease or more creative terms of your choice. The same can’t be said about the north, unfortunately.

North Scottsdale

Locals sometimes say that if Tempe is for students, Scottsdale is for graduates. And apparently, the further north you go in Scottsdale, the further the graduates have advanced in their careers. The north is what gives Scottsdale its reputation for exclusivity. Sometimes coveted, sometimes derided as “Snotsdale,” this is the posh part of town. It's newer, less congested and more spread out. Views are incredible, but it will cost you more. The corridor near Kierland is ultra expensive for apartments, even when they are technically on the "Phoenix" side of Scottsdale Road.

Which Flavor Of Posh Do You Prefer?

Old With the Old, In With the…Old

Scottsdale’s Old Town area is a major draw. Think of it as somewhere between an Old West reenactment zone and an open-air mall. And while the desert landscape painting galleries, hitching posts, and wagon wheel chandeliers may strike a rather faux feel at times, this is not strictly a tourist trap. Once you learn the lay of the land, you’ll find neighborhood shops and a place to watch the ballgame with locals, too. Most Scottsdale apartments offer some kind of parking, but you’ll want to be extra sure if you rent here. Old Town is abuzz evenings and weekends all year round. As far as the type of apartment to look for, you best bets in “Old Town,” ironically, are newer condos and lofts. The older accommodations have a reputation for being substandard, although in 2023 it seems more and more of these communities are being completely redone - and good deals can be found.

Apartments in Old Town Scottsdale

The Scottsdale Waterfront area, north of Old Town, pitches itself as a glamorous hotspot with high end shops and restaurants; and to a degree, it is exactly that. Reviews from the locals are mixed, however, and sales and rentals of the numerous luxury condos built in this area stalled after an initial burst of interest. In short, it is polarizing, so if you’re considering renting here, hang out, shop and have dinner a few times before taking the plunge.

McCormick and Gainey Ranch

Want to live on a golf course? Yes? Then come on down! McCormick Ranch is mostly residential. This is a potential area for bargains if you are patient. And by bargain, we mean that relatively for Scottsdale, of course. Gainey Ranch is another option just next door to McCormick Ranch, but apartments are more scarce and mostly independently owned.

The New Old

Some are already calling this the new Old Town. It doesn’t have as many hitching posts, but it does have just as much shopping. Don’t miss the spa options, either. The rents around here are climbing, though, so be prepared.

Gaining Ground

A good mix of the residential and commercial, Gainey Ranch has seen an uptick in popularity recently. It may be a good option if you want to pay a little less than in Kierland, but want more to do than in McCormick.

We said it once and we’ll say it again, if you’re moving to Scottsdale, you’re most likely in the money. Now get out there and find a great spot to enjoy the smooth, financial sailing. Enjoy your stay in the West’s Most Western Town! We’re positive you will.
