Convenience and commuter friendliness in north Phoenix

Less than 20 miles north of downtown Phoenix, the suburban area of North Deer Valley offers proximity to natural areas near the mountains while also enabling residents to be well-connected to downtown and other metro area hubs. According to area resident Lisa Ramos, an associate broker with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, the area’s convenient location with proximity to Interstate-17 and the 101 Freeway is the primary draw for buyers. “If you’re there, you can easily get to Phoenix, you can get to Scottsdale, you can get to the west side of the Valley,” she says.

North Deer Valley sits just north of the Loop 101, and has many retail options near by.

A variety of housing options to suit various budgets and lifestyles

Home construction in North Deer Valley began in the 1970s and continued for the next few decades. While most residences predate 2000, some were constructed in the early 2000s, and townhouses can be found that were built as recently as 2020. “There’s a good mix of lots of different types of housing,” says area resident Kirsten Myers, a Realtor with Re/Max Fine Properties. Townhouses go for anywhere from $250,000 to $350,000 depending on floor plan and upgrades. Modest single-story ranch-style and two-story builds start around $300,000, though one with more square footage that was built after 1990 might be over $700,000. While homes built in the ‘70s and ‘80s often have traditional architecture with vinyl siding and shingled roofs, the neighborhood's more recent builds have more of a Southwestern influence with stucco exteriors and red clay-tile roofs. Most residential streets are lined with narrow sidewalks and most homeowners landscape with gravel and drought-tolerant plants.

Local sports facilities and hiking trails, plus a water park and golf course

On the neighborhood’s northern side, Paseo Highlands Park has a large, shaded playground and is popular among residents of all ages for its array of fully lighted sports facilities that allow residents to play softball, soccer, pickleball and basketball after the sun sets. The Goelet A. C. Beuf Community Center is on site with a full-size indoor gymnasium ringed by an elevated walking track, as well as a fitness center and dance studio. Just west, Victory Lane Sports Park regularly hosts youth and adult league tournaments at its baseball and softball fields. Right next door to the sports park is Hurricane Harbor, a large waterpark with oversized slides, a lazy river and a wave pool. To the west, Thunderbird Conservation Park spans nearly 1,200 acres through the Hedgepath Hills and provides 15 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails of varying elevation and difficulty. Neighboring the conservation park, the popular 18-hole 500 Club has hosted the Waste Management Phoenix Open Pre-Qualifier since 2019, and has a smaller, lesser-known Futures Course with an additional 9 holes.

Local museums for archaeology and trains

Just north of Loop 101, the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve is highlighted by a quarter-mile trail lined with over 1,500 petroglyphs that range from 6,000 to 200 years old. The preserve is also home to a museum that teaches about the area’s archaeological history and the history of those who carved the glyphs. On the neighborhood’s northern edge, 150-acre Adobe Mountain Desert Railroad Park features a train museum with historical railroad items as well as a large collection of model trails.
