Grayhawk is a master-planned golf community in North Scottsdale, just north of Loop 101 between Scottsdale Road and Pima Road. It was built from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s and includes thousands of homes, from condominiums and townhomes to single-family homes and guard-gated estates.
Grayhawk has two main parts. The Park, west of Hayden Road, is mostly non-gated single-family neighborhoods by builders such as Coventry and TW Lewis, plus the gated Crown Point enclave. The Retreat, east of Hayden, holds the guard-gated Raptor and Talon Retreats with homes by builders such as Toll Brothers, Camelot and Edmonds, along with enclaves like Cachet, Tesoro, Avian and Pinnacle. Condo communities such as Venu, The Edge and Village at Grayhawk add a lower-maintenance option. Each part has its own buyers and prices, so your comparable sales should come from your own enclave and product type.
Grayhawk Golf Club has two public-access courses: Raptor, designed by Tom Fazio, and Talon, designed by David Graham and Gary Panks. Both have hosted major college and professional events, and Phil’s Grill at the clubhouse is a popular gathering spot.
Grayhawk Community Park and Thompson Peak Park, both City of Scottsdale parks, add sports fields, lighted courts and playgrounds. The Grayhawk Walk trail system links the neighborhoods, and the Retreat Village Association maintains several pools, spas and tennis courts for residents of the gated Retreats. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve’s trails are a short drive northeast.
Grayhawk Plaza, at Scottsdale Road and Grayhawk Drive, and Hayden Peak Crossing, at Hayden Road and Thompson Peak Parkway, cover groceries, pharmacy, banking and casual dining. Phil’s Grill, Isabella’s Kitchen, Chula Seafood and other local favorites are close by, and Scottsdale Promenade, Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons are a few minutes south.
Loop 101 is right next door. The Scottsdale Airpark is usually under 10 minutes away, and downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor Airport are roughly 25 to 30 minutes. That freeway access is a big selling point for buyers relocating for work.
HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center is right next to Grayhawk, and HonorHealth offices are in Grayhawk Plaza. Mayo Clinic is about 15 minutes away.
Grayhawk buyers know the community well and compare enclaves, builders and floor plans closely. I write your listing around those details, the enclave name, golf or mountain views, single-level living and the Grayhawk Walk, and back it with professional photography, a Zillow 3D Home tour and a dedicated property website. For homes in the gated Retreats, I coordinate gate access for every showing.
Grayhawk has a community association and, for the Retreats, a separate village association, so I help you gather the right documents early to keep escrow on schedule. For current prices, inventory and days on market, see the live market report on this page.

Grayhawk sales range from condominiums and townhomes to single-family homes in The Park and guard-gated estates in Raptor and Talon Retreats. I build every price from the sales in your own enclave and product type.
Grayhawk Golf Club’s Raptor and Talon courses anchor the community. Grayhawk Community Park and Thompson Peak Park provide fields, lighted courts and playgrounds, the Grayhawk Walk connects the neighborhoods, and the Retreat Village Association maintains pools, spas and tennis courts for the gated Retreats.
Grayhawk Plaza and Hayden Peak Crossing handle everyday shopping within a few minutes of most homes. Scottsdale Promenade and Scottsdale Quarter are a short drive south, and Kierland Commons and DC Ranch’s Market Street are within 15 minutes. Local dining ranges from Phil’s Grill and Isabella’s Kitchen to Chula Seafood and Local Bistro.
Loop 101 runs along Grayhawk’s south side, putting the Scottsdale Airpark under 10 minutes away and downtown Phoenix and Sky Harbor Airport roughly 25 to 30 minutes away. Valley Metro buses run along Scottsdale Road and Pima Road, and the trail system makes walking and biking to nearby shops practical.
HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Medical Center sits right next to Grayhawk for emergency, surgical and specialty care, and HonorHealth has primary care offices in Grayhawk Plaza. Urgent care is available along Scottsdale and Hayden roads, and Mayo Clinic is about 15 minutes away.
The Grayhawk Walk’s landscaped paths are made for running, walking and cycling, and the community’s parks host sports leagues through the cooler months. For desert hiking, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, including the Brown’s Ranch and Pinnacle Peak areas, is 10 to 15 minutes away. Mild winters keep pools, courts and trails busy for most of the year.
The Grayhawk Community Association hosts a busy calendar, including holiday celebrations, outdoor movie nights, food truck evenings and fitness classes, and the Retreat Village Association adds its own events. Grayhawk Golf Club hosts tournaments and charity events, and the Boys and Girls Club of Grayhawk offers after-school and summer programs.
North Scottsdale has hot summers, a July–September monsoon season and mild winters, with October through April the prime season for golf and outdoor living. Grayhawk’s desert landscaping is built for this climate, and McDowell Mountain views make for memorable sunsets. Many out-of-state buyers visit in winter, which is worth considering when we plan your listing date.
Grayhawk has two main associations: the Grayhawk Community Association for the community as a whole and the Retreat Village Association for the gated Raptor and Talon Retreats, plus associations for some condo and townhome communities. Exterior changes need architectural approval, and rental rules vary by association. I help you gather the right documents and any approvals for past exterior work early. A specific address’s flood zone can be checked on FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center.
The Scottsdale Airpark and the Loop 101 corridor, home to technology, finance and healthcare employers, are minutes away, and new corporate campuses continue to open along Loop 101 in North Phoenix. HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic are major employers nearby. For buyers who work from home, a dedicated office is worth highlighting in the listing.
For a specific home’s property tax, look up the parcel on the Maricopa County Treasurer’s website. Association fees vary by part of Grayhawk: the gated Retreats cost more because of the guard gate and private pools and courts, and condo associations often cover exterior items. Buyers see the exact figures during escrow. When you sell, I’ll estimate your net proceeds after commission, title, escrow and any transfer fees.
Grayhawk is within the City of Scottsdale, which provides police, fire, trash and recycling, street maintenance and the community’s two city parks. The community’s associations handle private amenities and standards in coordination with the city.
