As the post below suggests, McCormick Ranch has a lot of lakes.
That first lake on the corner of Scottsdale Road and McCormick Parkway (Camelback Lake) created a huge sensation back in the early 1970′s when it was built! Man made lakes were a brand new idea in this desert back then. The lakes immediately became the signature landmark of McCormick Ranch.
Today, the signature of McCormick Ranch would also have to include the color green. The green grass, the green trees, the green parks and green street medians.
Newer developments further north in Scottsdale just aren’t green. They are beautiful. But not green.
With the every increasing cost of land since McCormick Ranch was planned, newer developments have had progressively less space set aside for green parks and wet lakes.
If you would like to live in a green neighborhood… well, green for Scottsdale… a McCormick Ranch home might be for you. Please give me a call. I would be honored to be your Realtor.
