Over 50,000 residents live here across a network of distinct sub-communities, from resort-style condos to gated luxury estates. Each neighbourhood has its own character. Finding the right one is where we come in.

We Don't Just Know
Desert Ridge. We Live Here.
Tony Baldwin and Darren Tackett have spent years working Desert Ridge — not from an office across town, but from inside the community. Our team lives here. Our kids go to school here. We know which streets back up to a wall and which ones open to a trail. That kind of local knowledge shows up in every deal.
Together with the Tackett Team we're Arizona's #1 luxury team by sales volume, led by Darren Tackett. 5-star reviewed. And genuinely invested in getting your family into the right home, not just any home.

Most People Don't Just Move to Desert Ridge — They Move to a Specific Corner of It
Fireside feels different from Sky Crossing. Aviano attracts a different buyer than Talinn. We help you figure out which one actually fits your life, not just your budget.
Growing Families

Not sure which profile fits you? Our team can help you figure out which sub-community makes the most sense given your lifestyle and timeline.
Close to Everything
That Matters
Desert Ridge sits at the crossroads of Loop 101 and State Route 51 in the northeast Valley — roughly 20 minutes from Sky Harbor, 15 minutes from Old Town Scottsdale, and within range of every major employment corridor in the metro. This location rarely boxes you in.
SCHOOLS & FAMILY LIFE
⎯
Built for Families
Desert Ridge falls within the Paradise Valley Unified School District, which consistently ranks among Arizona's top districts. Pinnacle High School in particular draws families specifically relocating to the area.
The community has low relative crime rates, 7 parks, and 25+ shaded playgrounds spread across the master plan — the kind of infrastructure that makes a real difference when you have kids.
