Living in Troon
Troon real estate is just north of the DC Ranch community, wrapped around the northern foothills of Pinnacle Peak. The mountain preserve, with its massive boulders, provides breathtaking views and lends to a serene atmosphere. Because Troon North and Troon Village are located in the high Sonoran Desert, residents tend to enjoy slightly cooler temperatures.
The Troon communities offer many subdivisions of townhouses, semi-custom homes, custom homes, and residential homesites, with both gated and non-gated options. Homes that are built along the mountainside offer spectacular views of the city, as well as the native desert scenery. Luxury golf lot homes are available with The Troon Country Club and The Troon North Golf Club located within the area. The community tends to appeal to empty nesters and second homeowners, but there are plenty of families that live in the area as well. Children attend schools in the Cave Creek School District.
Plenty of outdoor activities are available in the area, in addition to golfing. The Troon community offers a network of bike paths and trail easements to enjoy. There also are plenty of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding at nearby McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Pinnacle Peak, and Brown’s Ranch. The Doc Cavalliere Park offers a shaded playground, basketball courts, and an open artificial turf field. If you would prefer relaxing poolside or pampering yourself, the Four Seasons Resort and Spa is only minutes away.
There are many restaurant and shopping options available within the area, as well as the surrounding communities of DC Ranch and Grayhawk. The popular Kierland Commons, Scottsdale Quarters, and Desert Ridge Marketplace are just a few of the places a short drive away that provide many stores and restaurants to choose from. The Loop 101 freeway is easily accessible and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is about a 45 min drive.
