Your vision, your home, our expertise.
Over the past 12 months, the median home in Silverleaf sold for $5,200,000, while the median home in Desert Parks, a few minutes away inside the same master planned community, sold for $1,204,500. Both are part of DC Ranch homes for sale, and that gap is why it pays to compare the four DC Ranch villages one by one instead of treating DC Ranch as a single market.

Figures are ARMLS data via Flexmls from our own community pages. The four village sale counts add up to the 188 DC Ranch sales, and the listing counts add up to the 51 homes for sale.
The four villages, side by side
DC Ranch sits in north Scottsdale along the McDowell Mountains, entirely in ZIP code 85255. See where DC Ranch sits on our Northeast Valley map. The DC Ranch Association reports 47 parks connected by more than 50 miles of landscaped paths and trails across the community, so every village shares that network. What changes from village to village is the housing.
Silverleaf: custom estates and the widest range
Silverleaf homes for sale in DC Ranch run from condominiums near Thompson Peak Parkway to custom estates in the hillside canyons against the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Homes were built from 2004 to today, mostly 2006 to 2024, and the median home sold over the past year was about 5,534 square feet. Lots in the sales we reviewed ranged from about 2,800 square feet to more than 5 acres. Sale prices ranged from $2,150,000 to $13,720,000. For the long view, our Silverleaf 10 year price chart and market data page tracks prices back a decade.
Country Club Village: gated, around the private course
Country Club Village homes for sale are mostly behind the Thompson Peak Parkway gates, with homes and townhomes built from 1998 to 2022. The median home sold was about 4,068 square feet, on lots from about 3,400 square feet to nearly 1.5 acres. Golf course frontage is a feature of some homesites, not all, and the course is private. Sale prices ranged from $1,055,000 to $9,700,000.
Desert Camp: closest to Market Street
Desert Camp homes for sale include single family homes, townhomes, and condominiums built from 1998 to 2011. The Market Street condominium buildings next to the village hold about 216 homes by county records, the largest attached group in DC Ranch, while streets like Camelot, Rosewood, and The Haciendas have larger homes on bigger lots. The median home sold was about 2,242 square feet, and sale prices ranged from $360,000 to $3,800,000. The Desert Camp community center, with pools, a fitness center, and courts, is inside the village.
Desert Parks: the newest of the original villages
Desert Parks homes for sale were mostly built from 2004 to 2014, with attached villas and courtyard condominiums alongside larger detached homes by builders including Ashton Woods, Maracay, and Camelot. The median home sold was about 2,989 square feet, on lots from about 1,500 to 19,100 square feet. Sale prices ranged from $695,000 to $3,100,000. The Homestead community center sits at the north edge of the village on Legacy Boulevard.
What it means
The village you pick shapes your budget more than the DC Ranch name does. By our calculation, Silverleaf's median sale price was about 4.3 times Desert Parks', and its median price per square foot was about 2.1 times higher. That is not only about size. Silverleaf buyers are paying for custom construction, larger lots, and hillside and preserve settings, while Desert Parks and Desert Camp offer newer production homes, townhomes, and condos with access to the same trails and community centers.
Pace differs too. Desert Camp and Desert Parks homes went under contract in a median of about six to seven weeks, while Silverleaf and Country Club Village took closer to ten weeks. Silverleaf also holds 24 of the 51 homes for sale in DC Ranch, about 47% of current supply by our calculation, and had the lowest listing success rate of the four villages at 63%. In plain terms, more Silverleaf listings ended as cancelled or expired relative to those that sold. Country Club Village sellers gave up the most from final list price, closing at a median of 94.9%.
For context, the wider 85255 ZIP code had a $1,500,000 median over its most recent 12 months, so Desert Camp and Desert Parks sit near the ZIP median, while Country Club Village and Silverleaf sit well above it. You can compare the rest of the area on our homes for sale in 85255 page or across the city on our Scottsdale homes for sale page.
How to choose between the villages
- Start with home type, not the village name. If you want a condo or townhome, Desert Camp and Desert Parks have the most choices. If you want a custom home on an acre or more, focus on Silverleaf and parts of Country Club Village.
- Compare price per square foot within a village, not across DC Ranch. A $590 per square foot Desert Camp home and a $953 per square foot Silverleaf home are different products.
- Look up the exact lot. In Country Club Village, many MLS addresses are a gate address plus a lot number, so two listings at the same address can be a townhome near the gate or an estate on the course. Check the lot on the village map before you compare prices.
- Add up every association. All four villages pay DC Ranch Association dues, and many neighborhoods add a second association. Totals in recent listings ran from about $255 a month to about $4,100 a month at the top of Silverleaf.
- Ask the club, not the seller, about membership. The Country Club at DC Ranch and the Silverleaf Club are private, and owning a home does not include a membership.
- Avoid this mistake: pricing an offer off the DC Ranch wide median of $2,700,000. It blends four very different villages, so it can be far too high for Desert Parks and far too low for Silverleaf. Use the village figures and recent sales on the same street.
- Condo buyers, read the documents early. Review the declaration, budget, reserves, and the association's insurance before your inspection period ends.
The honest caveats
Country Club Village had only 26 sales in 12 months, so one or two large estate sales can move its median a lot. Village medians also mix very different homes: Desert Camp's figure blends condos with larger single family homes, and Silverleaf's blends condos with estates of more than 5 acres. Dues ranges come from listings, not from the associations themselves, and can change. Every figure here is a snapshot as of late October and early November 2026, and the next month of sales may shift them.
