NotesJr: Pictures make it hard to get a handle on this one. Looks like it has some very nice tree/golf course/mountain views; I think the pics featuring the pool are from the clubhouse. The balcony is of the sort that it blocks a bit of light, but would have to see unit to determine if it's a problem. Tile looks okay, but I suspect you'd want to do a bit of updating here -- which the price permits. If the views are as they seem, and being so close, may be a good option.

Even the stairs which I think you’re beautiful or not a problem if somebody breaks their leg. There is an ideal area. adjacent to the stairs, and in the same space that is ideal for a lift, not an elevator, but a lift like they use in warehouses. I think it is a very walkable area as well..

Jr: I mean, it looks really neat, and there’s a lot going on in that area, but those stairs… oof. Seems like it’s more suited to young bachelors 😉. It’s also kinda far at about 25 minutes when traffic is light.

Also located about two minutes from McLaren and Koenisegg dealers, for what that's worth. Very high ceiling in main living area is fantastic; however, while the walls in that room are studded with windows, they mostly look out to other condo buildings, which are really close, so they don't contribute to a view, and I'm not sure how much light they let in. The layout could also make decorating tricky (though you're far, far better at that than I am). Interior has a number of nice touches, but the way the photos are done, it's really hard to get a sense of the layout, and I think there are stairs going to the front door plus stairs for a second floor. But again, hard to tell from the photos. HOA is relatively low but still includes water/trash.10/814450 N Thompson Peak Pkwy #216, Scottsdale, AZ 85260Y

Grocery store about a 20 minute walk away. Living room area looks very large and has several windows letting in light. Pass-through wall openings let some of that light into foyer area. I feel like the living room could use a few more ceiling lights, including some more centrally located. Separate dining room also appears quite large and well-lit. Dining room also includes a fireplace, balcony, and vaulted ceiling — which to me makes the space seem underutilized as a dining room and more fitting to something like a very nice game room. I don't know where you'd eat then, but you could probably use a portion of the large living room as a dining area. Kitchen looks decent and includes a pantry, though there's no space for in-kitchen eating. Master area looks nicely done with lots of windows. The barn door on the linen closet seems slightly odd but works. Big closets in both rooms for storage, plus large laundry room with more storage. (I am curious how a bar fridge makes laundry a breeze, but it's a nice to have regardless.) Garage has yet more storage, but also space-impinging support columns at both spots that complicate parking. Views are mostly of the development, though mountains are visible beyond from the balcony. The balcony itself is small but big enough for two people to enjoy. Its solid walls offer privacy but mean the seated views will be of trees and sky. Bathroom and laundry floors look to be tile, but not clear about everywhere else — description says "Gorgeous European Oak Wood", but details section says laminate. HOA is moderately low and includes roof, water/trash.
MCS: End unit on NE side of building, no one above. large & updated. Primary at one end, 2nd at other end. huge living room. 2 parking spots in underground garage. community has similar feel to toscana, but smaller & did not seem as active. Pool table right as you exit elevator on this floor

NotesJr: Unit has some good potential in terms of layout and lighting. Stone/wood-look tile floors. Double-sided fireplace as room divider is nice. Laundry closet is larger than most, allowing it to double as a general utility closet. Kitchen has a couple of utilities access panels in the wall by the dishwasher, but I think they'd be easily hidden behind hanging somethings. Ceilings are two tiers, being higher in the rooms but lower in the walking area and around the fireplace.
MCS: unit balcony faces NE, looks across at biltmore golf (after the houses & street) and Piestewa range. Unit was occupied, so quick tour as they work from home, so not a lot of detail in walk. Some updates, could use more.
3/14: Eliminated. The desired changes are a lot and wouldn't address low ceiling in traffic areas (including the tunnel effect it creates on entry), and the community doesn't offer much to compensate.

A bit far (17-25 minutes depending on traffic) mostly due to how far west from the freeway it is. (On my map, it’s sort of in the middle of the square cutout in the lower-left.)I noticed the monthly HOA fee is quite high ($667), though they do cover most utilities including electric. Also of note, I think the non-master bathroom is upstairs. Also, looks like the view is going to be across the quad to the other building.

Great golf course via off covered back patio. Floors are carpet and LVP. Fireplace. Bedrooms look nice and bright, but it's hard to tell how much light is in the main living area. Plank ceiling in main living area. Television placement there could be a little tricky if you don't opt for the over-fireplace position shown in photos, which is still a wiring challenge. Decent-size kitchen, separate dining area. Larger master shower with artistic window. Laundry machines are in closet but full-size. Single-car garage. HOA not too bad, includes trash/water. Interior is two levels, with two steps to the front door and two steps to the master bedroom.

Interior appears pleasant, seems to have a lot of light. Mentions community rec room, so may have a pool table (though there are no pics or description to say for sure). Views out of the south side are great, while the location is close (10 to 12 minutes) and very easy to get to. It's also right next to the Phoenix Mountains Preserve (one of the largest city parks in the world); in fact, there's a dedicated pedestrian path to it. Also has two-car garage. Of course, lots of desert around you means you'll probably be dealing with desert critters. Main downside is that access is via stairs. HOA fee is reasonable. Pending as of 12/21.

Unit is the most NE one in the development, which works well for seeing the mountains that are east and north -- though being a ground-level unit, those views will be obstructed. Exposure is north/east/west. 16th St is moderately busy, but this location is kinda near the intersection so traffic will be slowing and may not be of concern; being ground-level in this case helps given the wall. Unit also gets the corner landscaping and grass. Inside, the layout is relatively nice, though I suspect you'll want to do some general updating to floors/fixtures/appliances. Has fireplace. Has 2-car garage with inside access, which is nice. HOA is reasonable and includes water. Walking distance to Phoenix Mountains Preserve, with the pedestrian walkway to get there overthe freeway.1/57887 N 16th St #116, Phoenix, AZ 85020Y

An older unit, but it's had some nice updates. Looks like it has concrete flooring in the living room. Wasn't sure the courtyard was private, but I think it is, which is nice. On the other hand, there are no views to speak of (besides the courtyard), and the laundry room setup is a little funky with the washing machine hookups. Kitchen makes good use of a small space, but the hanging cabinet kind cuts it off from the living room area -- but whether that's good or bad or indifferent is a matter of taste. Pending as of 12/10.

Back yard has multiple large, mature trees and a pleasant pergola-covered sitting area, along with some grass on the side. Kitchen is fairly large, with a large island. Can't see much of the master bath. Flooring appears to be wood in the bedrooms and large tile elsewhere. Looks like it gets a good amount of interior light from well-placed windows. Fireplace, 2-car garage. Has a low HOA but doesn't say what that includes; I would assume not much. MCS - seen on tour 2/7. eliminated via text1/1711268 E Poinsettia Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85259Y*

Attactive, well-built home with a definite architectural flavor all its own. Large lot approaching ½ acre with landscaping that makes it feel almost rural is just one property removed from the mountains preserve. Concrete flooring throughout with excellent distribution of power outlets in floor. Lots of natural light from smartly placed windows. Mountain views to N/NE/W, but low-voltage utility lines run in the alley behind home. Owned solar system (not clear if there is battery storage or any sort of net metering arrangement). Freestanding 2-car garage (part of the original house torn down to build this one) has both front entry and rear alley entry, though the latter seems to have rarely been used given overgrowth in front of it. Roof is partly flat with foam and partly covered by corrugated steel. I'd be interested to see how the latter drains, as there are two large planes that tilt toward each other, meeting at the center of the house - there must be some sort of channel to carry water away, and I wonder if there's maintenance associated with that. Front and back patios covered by attractive steel-beam pergola, though I doubt the beams provide much sun protection. It also looks like rain causes rusty water to drip below. Front yard has a lot of landscaping that mostly hides views of the street. No HOA, so no fee — but also no coverage for roof or landscaping. Regarding the latter, it's not clear how much maintenance there would be. You would at least need to treat for weeds, but you may also need to water (at least in summer) depending on what's planted and how mature it is. There are drip systems in front and in back to help with that, but those bring their own maintenance. City water with septic system. Will likely get desert critters.
MCS: Beautiful home, very unique. nearby ammenities are a drive away, not a walking area. Commuter neighborhood.

Wood floors in common areas and bedrooms, tile in bathrooms, carpet in closets. Listing says there's also laminate, but I didn't see any - maybe in the laundery closet. Large island with breakfast bar in kitchen plus separate (smallish) dining area. Smart fridge, gas stove, in-island microwave (which I'm not a fan of because of how low they are, but that's me). Master has large closet and large, nicely updated bathroom with multi-head glass-enclosed shower. Looks like one-piece Toto toilets in both bedroom baths (third is not pictured). Interior concrete structural elements are interesting but may slightly complicate arrangement/decoration. Hard to tell how much natural light permeates the space from windows on just one side. Those windows are dual-pane and low-E (not clear if this applies to patio door, too). Very nice patio with multiple sitting areas, grill, firepit, and minifridge. Note, however, it's west-facing with no shade trees, and the structural cover is small, thus all the umbrellas you can see. Two garage spots are at the end, with the end one next to utility and FD closets; the access space allowances for these could be great but could also be terrible if the closet is too far forward, and I'm not sure it would go well if the FD opened that door in a hurry. Sits higher than adjacent buildings, so nice sky view but not much else to say view-wise. Clubhouse has mountain views and better equipped gym than most, but I don't see a pool table. Moderate HOA includes water/trash, gas, CATV.

Unit looks quite nice, with decent-looking finishes. Most areas are a nice tile, with carpet in at least one bedroom and wood in at least one bathroom. Maybe Toto toilets? Looks like there's plenty of light. Fireplace. Separate dining area plus high-top counter. Square footage is put to good use with the exception of the loft. Curious faucet placement in showers, but not bad. The back patio is very lovely and also low-maintenance. It doesn't look like there's a view, but it offers a privacy screen of trees that appears to extend to window views and the front yard (which has synthetic grass). 2-car garage. Plenty of shopping and dining close by, with a couple walkable things. HOA a bit high but includes golf, roof, and CATV. Price is high, but I think you could move in with minimal changes. MCS: Toured 2/11. 2nd bed & the shower are upstairs, primary downstairs has tub. Well lit, is at the front of that section of Gainey (3rd community back from guard gate). Patio space very nice.

Very large, though the second master that's upstairs is a lot of square footage that will rarely be used. WIndows are dual-pane low-E, but not clear about all the glass doors. Also, although I can't tell for sure, it doesn't appear the West-facing upstairs balcony doors and windows have been updated; considering the thermostat is downstairs, I suspect it's quite a challenge to keep that upstairs area properly temperature-controlled.

Nice golf course/green belt/water frontage along the side. Listing doesn't say what the floor material is, but maybe polished concrete. Materials and upgrades seem nice, and skylights bring in light in key areas. Fireplace. Has a counter you can eat at plus a small breakfast nook. Green views are out the bedrooms and living room; kitchen/breakfast nook looks out to enclosed courtyard. I don't really like the atrium, as it's too small to bring much light down, and it presents as a close-up view of a wall through the sliding doors in the bedroom and living room area by the stairs. Multiple little patios and yards out back are attractive, though be aware they're at multiple levels. Two patios have great views, while the other two I think have little or no view. Has 2-car garage, though it goes into the front courtyard, not the house. HOA is low and appears to include golf course play, but it doesn't cover much with the house itself, including the roof.

Someone liked building cabinets and shelves - tons of them! Though, that may limit furniture arrangement options a little. Some nice touches plus some wood flooring (and some carpet). Looks like there may be three skylights, including one in the kitchen -- these tend to add a ton of light. Attached 2-car garage. Probably not much in the way of views, but the front likely has at least some view of the mountains given the way its oriented and what's between the house and the mountains. The bedroom shown (which I think is the master) has lots of cabinets and drawers for storage, but it's going to make TV placement a little tricky if you care about that (though you might be able to put it in one of the cabinets, and I wouldn't be surprisd if one of them is already wired for it). There's a nice park within walking distance that has ponds and walking trails. HOA not too bad but notably does not cover the roof. MCS - tenant in place thru feb, no showings.

Back patio is lovely, with an elevated sitting area, a fireplace, built-in grill, and very nice golf course and mountain views. Has nice-looking pool, but that brings a lot of expenses and hassle. Also has very large, pleasant-looking, pergola-covered patio out front, which would help with afternoon sun exposure in summer (house faces west). Interior-wise, appears to have been nicely updated over time, starting with the double-entry front door and triple-pane windows. The kitchen is quite large with lots of storage, a breakfast bar at the island, and an exterior door to the back yard that exits near the grill. There's also a larger dining area off the kitchen. Floors are a mix of wood in the bedrooms and large, diagonally set tile elsewhere. Both bathrooms have showers that appear to have been converted from tubs. 2-car garage with storage cabinets, small but serviceable laundry room with full-size machines. No HOA, which is great, but but keep in mind that means you're covering maintenance of the house itself plus all the landscaping, the pool, and the several hundred square-feet of pergola.

Note: We're generally avoiding pools, but this one is being let through because of the views.

Sr: Please put on list. There’s no HOA tone. Need to make sure get age info on roof, HWA, electric bikes, Windows, pool motors, etc.

MS: Neighborhood has zero walkable amenities & is definitely a commuter neighborhood. Golf course is city of Phoenix municipal course built on reclaimed landfill.

Wood beam ceiling in living room, double-sided fireplace in dining/living rooms, wood-look tile flooring. Lots of light in kitchen area. Large master. Large glass block window in master shower is nice, though the shower also has decent-size step-over. Out front, there's a large tree, and placement of the front door around a corner instead of right on the front of the house makes entry more interesting. Out back, there's no view, but it is very private. The patio needs to be resurfaced, and there are a small number of things you'd probably want to improve around the house, so you'd need to weigh what you want to do against the price. HOA is low but doesn't include much. Foam roof from Jan. 2020.

Fireplace is nice. Looks like there's pantry off the laundry room, though the shelves (at least what we can see, which isn't much) are shallow. You'd definitely want to decorate the great room smartly for acoustic reasons. Has dining area. Kitchen layout strikes me as a little odd, being split into two primary areas with the entryway in the middle (wonder how much the dishwasher door blocks that entryway when it's open). Looks will-maintained, but everything seems sort of builder-grade. Out back, the trees are nice, and you can see a little bit of mountain over one of the other units, but there's not really a view beyond that. The view-friendly fence may be a compromise on privacy from the pool, though there is some landscaping between the property and the pool. HOA is moderately low, but they don't list the shared roof as an inclusion.

Wonderful kitchen and great floor throughout. Concrete flooring is one of my favorites because it doesn’t show dirt and the finish last such a long time. It’s just great.

Jr: I’m sure the Wolf appliances and column reclaimed from Ohio didn’t hurt 😉. It looks nice - they gave it a ton of character in the renovation. It’s a nice area maybe 13-15 minutes away from the house. Right next to another condo complex called Aventura Condominiums, incidentally. Looks like the view isn’t anything too fancy, though.
*** after walkthrough ***
Sr: If you look at the photos of the wall where there was an alcove and a piece of furniture in it. I think this probably was a closet. It looks like it that was taken out and they put the furniture there instead. Here’s my question do you remember when you go to the second bedroom? Was it down the same hallway as to get to the master bedroom or was it close by a door that almost was in front of the front door? Here’s my thinking, depending on where that alcove is exactly that it could be closed in and reopen on the other side in the bathroom area or bedroom whatever it happens to be there and I think it would probably be the the bathroom area. If that wouldn’t work out what could be done is the area closed in but just a section of drywall or depending on what I was going to do, Put a large piece of furniture in front of it or I have a 12 foot long by 8 foot screen that would go there as long as there’s 12 feet between the doorway of one hallway in the doorway of the other hallway which I think there should be. If it were actually done with drywall, that might be a great place for the television. Let me know what you think Sun and also if you had any additional thoughts about the the unit itself and things that you liked or didn’t like or you thought would be something we should talk about.

I think you’re right that alcove probably backs up to the master bathroom. If I’m putting it together right in my head, one end of the tub may be on that wall right around the right side of the alcove, but the vanity and toilet are on the opposite wall. With those fixtures over there, that also means the plumbing for the tub is almost certainly over there, too, so not on the alcove wall. Seems like you could definitely do something with the alcove if you wanted to.

And yeah, that’d be a good place for a TV. You could arrange a sitting area around there with the walk-through path on the kitchen side, and if you really wanted it, still have room for a non-TV sitting area of some sort closer to the front door.

As for other thoughts, I can certainly see you wanting to change some of the detail things, but that’s probably going to be the case no matter where you go. The floor will be nice from a cooling perspective. I didn’t check out the windows closely, but in the photos, it looks like they’re decent, recent additions, which is good. I didn’t notice while we were there, but I do wonder about noise from the air handler in that kitchen closet and the air return on the other side of the wall by where they have the dining room table. One of the main returns for our central system is in the dining room, and it definitely makes a bit of noise. That said, our unit is probably far larger than the one in that place. Again, I didn’t notice it while we were there, but they did have some soft music on and I just wasn’t paying attention for it. Place was also very well lit, with lots of windows even in the den and second bedroom.

Sr: Yeah, that’s what I had thought. Do you have any idea? What do you think? The measurements are between that third bedroom which is a den at one end and the fireplace wall on the other? The good thing there is at the front doors all the way it went in so that helps with the furniture arrangement. Oh, what did you actually think about the place as far as it’s livability? I sent you a couple more listings as well, but I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to look at them or not yet. Everything still OK with Trip?

Jr: She paced off from the back wall (excluding the “hallway” containing the front door, laundry, etc.) to the couch, and I measured from the other end to couch, but I don’t remember either measurement. Maybe 12’ and 10’, respectively? Plus the depth of the couch itself. So maybe 25’ to 30’ total? It’s hard to tell from the photos.

Where they had the TV was weird for me, though I know high placements aren’t unusual as lots of people put them over fireplaces — but the cinephile in me hates such placements. Where the alcove is would be much better. If you wanted to, you could forego removing the alcove and instead use it to reduce or eliminate the protrusion of the equipment.

As for livability, it seems like it would work well. You’ve got the extra bedroom in case someone visits, plus there’s the little den/office. That could be all sorts of interesting things… private exercise room, mini-theater, listening room, wine tasting room, or just a place to display some of your collectibles. And it’s big enough to throw down an air mattress if you need two guest rooms in a pinch. Kitchen is more than enough.

You might get a little road noise on the patio, but it’s worth mentioning the speed limit there is 30. Sold 11/20.

Mature trees in front and back are very nice, and the covered back patio is a decent size. Note sure on views. Pool finish should be durable, as should the barrel tile roof. The listing references an HOA but no fee is listed. On the cons list, it looks like you'd be responsible for about everything maintenance-wise. There's a pool. And a spa. The house also backs up to 7th Street, which is six lanes at that point, so would want to see what the noise is like (might not be too bad with the wall, but don't know).

Quite large, and appears to have a ton of storage. Recent upgrades look okay, but I suspect a couple more (such as lighting) would be on your list. Patio and common grassy area look very pleasant, including the mature trees. HOA fee reasonable but only covers grounds -- notably, excluding roof.1/96231 E Kelton Ln, Scottsdale, AZ 85254Y

Interior seems to have tons of natural light from the doors, windows, and skylights. Wood-burning fireplace, LVP floors in main area (with at least one plug in the center area), carpet in bedrooms. I think the arched windows add a nice touch. Depending on how you decorate, you may have some minor issues with sound reverberation in the main area, and it looks like you might walk through the laundry to get to I'd guess secondary bedrooms, though it's hard to tell for sure. I suspect you'd want to take out the master tub and extend the shower. Nice little walkway out front to reach the door. Yard has large, mature trees, though back yard is shared. Back patio is on the small side but lovely; there's no covered area, so you'd want to have an umbrella or sunshade. 2-car garage, dining area. HOA is moderate but doesn't include roof or much else besides community pools. I think the views are mostly going to be of the neighborhood. MCS: use same notes as other North Ranch homes. this is just 1 street over in the same community. My in-laws live here. 2/19 - Went under contract this morning.

Unit features mostly wood-look LVP flooring with a bit of tile mixed in. I like the foyer - it's its own space, with a skylight making it super-bright. A larger unit, and you may be able to put a pool table on the side of the kitchen in the area off the patio (though it's always hard to tell sizes without knowing the camera lens that was used). Everything looks to have been nicely updated (if not always to your tastes, like with the tub), and it seems mostly move-in ready. Funny enough, it still has the '80s/'90s intercom system. I could see you making a few smaller changes in time. 2-car attached garage, laundry room, and dining area plus breakfast bar in the kitchen. Side and front views are mostly neighorhood, though the front gets significant shade from a couple of large trees. The neighborhood should be pretty quiet, features all grass yards and a fair number of trees. The back features a pleasant patio with some tasteful permeter landscaling; it lacks cover, but as it's NNE-facing, it should get some good afternoon shade from the building. The patio looks out to a large grassy common area dotted with mature trees that looks very nice. The pool area is visible but is contained inside a wall that's about 90' from the unit's back gate, so I don't think you'll see nor hear pool-goers. HOA is low but doesn't cover much, including the built-up roof.

As MCS said, area of town is walkable if need be, but there is lots within a very short drive (i.e., rideshare-friendly), including some local hotspots. Concrete floors throughout except what looks like wood in second bedroom. Master bath has wall-mounted toilet and nice walk-in shower. Secondary bath has been redone but is still a tub. HOA is a little high but includes water/sewer/trash, CATV, roof, heating/cooling; description says it also includes internet, but that's not in the HOA section. 2 garage spaces. Large covered patio. Unit is right off Maryland Ave, which you might call a large residential street with 35 mph speed limit, so there may be a some traffic noise. That said, the general area is "old town" urban in feel and has a lot of mature trees.
MCS: lower property taxes because of historic building designation, love the MCM look. Interior of unit is quiet for being on the street side. pool also beautiful. area is walkable, but most things 1/2 to 1 mile away at minimum. Just off central corridor.

NotesJr: Elevated views out of bedrooms and living room are very nice - include a bit of other buildings but dominated by landscaping and Camelback Mountain in the center. Floors are attractively done, and the continuation of the tile to the bathroom walls adds a touch of class. Room arrangement is nice as-is, but opening up the second bedroom would make a fantastic main living space flooded with light. Kitchen doesn't have a ton of storage space but cabinets reaching all the way to the ceiling help, including with the pantry cabinet by the fridge. Dining area is small but functional, and you could easily use that space as general living space and use a different area of the room as a dining area if you wanted. Master suite is well layed out in terms of space allocation to the room, the bathroom, and the closet, and the latter two are nicely updated and include plenty of storage. Since all the windows are west-facing and it's on the fourth floor, you'll get some intense sun, but between the overhang on part of the patio, the sun shades, and the high-efficiency windows, it should be quite manageable.
MCS: best view of all the camelview we've seen. unobstruced views from entire unit of the E end of Camelback mtn. Spacious & updated. Patio runs length of unit looking West, about 3ft wide (all windows look west also) with room to covert BR2 into living space.

Note photos appear to be from '21 listing. Fireplace, 2-car garage. LVP flooring throughout. Looks like there's a well-lit breakfast nook with a beamed ceiling attached to the kitchen plus a separate dining room area. Has skylight over the tub, another over the master vanity, and maybe yet another over the hallway -- should bring in a lot of natural light to these central interior areas. Master has a large closet with organization system. Stained-glass windows next to and over front door are interesting if they're still there. Nice-size private back yard with covered patio and synthetic grass, plus it looks like it has a decent-size side yard, too. HOA is low but includes only grounds maintenance.

Indeed, this specific development is very green, feels almost Florida-esque. It's also right on the canal, so you can walk along there if you want (our canals don't have alligators to worry about!). Only one bedroom, but any of your grandkids would probably get a kick out of staying up in the attic area (if it's air conditioned). Interior has an unusual feel in this area, almost vacation cabin-like. Very charming, though I'm not sure some elements (like the kitchen cabinets) are to your tastes. No covered parking.

Area doesn't have much shopping or dining within walking distance but has a quite a bit (from basic to high-end) by car ride of 5-7 minutes. Large lot over ½ acre offers privacy, and elevated plot provides some fantastic city and mountain views (including from the large living room window near the front door) to the north and east; the elevation continues increasing out back, so the view there is landscaping and the home that sits higher. Interior is quite nice and has some interesting design flourishes, such as the mixed-wood floors, the tin-paneled vaulted ceiling in main area, and the cinder block wall. Kitchen is very well equipped, though all the equipment means it has a lot less storage space than its size would suggest. High-top counter to eat at, but no separate dining space that I can see, though I think there's enough nearby living space that you could repurpose some of it as a dining area with a smart arrangement. Dual-pane windows, double-sided fireplace. Outside, there's mostly desert landscaping that's relatively low-maintenance, but without an HOA, you'll definitely want to budget for weed control, pruning and occasional replacement of plants/trees, and for occasional erosion control on that front hill. Back side of the house has a large covered patio that includes sunshades, facing out to a backyard that has multiple tiers because of the elevation changes. Those tiers are pretty and make things interesting, but they will likely make for limited use of the space (except for visitors to hang out if you ever host a party or something -- which this house is great for). 2-car garage, foam roof, two air conditioners.

Nice entrance out front. Interior-wise, it seems nicely updated with higher ceilings and crown moldings; marble or marble-look tile on main-area floors and some of the bathroom walls; a fireplace; a well-placed, large skylight in the main living room area; and a solar tube in the kitchen. Listing says kitchen has granite countertops, but note they're tiled. There's room to eat at the high-top kitchen counter plus a dining area. Master bathroom has upgraded shower but atop a jetted tub, while the second bath has nicely done shower-only setup. The backyard is just a brick patio with one palm tree as the ony landscaping. There's also no portion of it that's covered. But, it's large enough that you could do a lot with it, so I guess it's an open canvas. I don't believe there are any views to speak of. Moderate HOA incudes water/sewer but not roof. MCS: this one is temporary off market (unofficially) due to mold remediation.

Can't tell anything about views but it's quite close to North Mountain. Fireplace. Large at over 1900 sq ft. HOA is on the low side, but at least as of the listing, it doesn't appear much is included aside from common-areas maintenance. Also, two floors. Delisted on 12/10.

Interior is generally very well lit, partly from windows, but also because of multiple (maybe 4?) skylights. Looks like an open floorplan that still has some room definition, though it's a little hard to get a sense of the layout from the photos. Good use of non-parallel walls and ceilings to keep things interesting. Bedrooms look a little small but quite usable. Fireplace. I suspect you'd want to do a few updates, particularly in the bathrooms and maybe the kitchen hood. Medium-size satillo tile throughout. Landscaping of front and back is nicely done and appropriate to the region, and it includes plenty of mature items, though some of the smaller things might need to be replaced. You'll probably also want to figure out plants for the courtyard. Views beyond the property look nice, consisting mostly of trees and mountains. HOA moderately low, includes water/trash and CATV but not roof, and I bet you'd be on your own for most of the landscaping. MCS: If I can be completely honest - it doesn't fit your plans. zero percent walkability & most of the other things you've asked to have in an area around the home. 2/5 talked with sr. understands is not an area that would fit needs.1/281066 E Clinton St, Phoenix, AZ 85020Y

Looks like all the windows in the main area are under the patio - probably a good combination of light without direct sun. Backyard looks nicely landscaped, has wood-burning fireplace. Reasonable HOA given it includes water/sewer. Walking distance to hospital and shopping plaza. Development appears to have a good-sized clubhouse, but they don't say much about it - may have pool table? 12/31: Listing removed, but it didn't sell and it's been on and of market for a while, so it may come back on in the new year or in a few months. 1/25: Put back on market and immediately moved to pending.

It’s another one where they’ve digitally changed the color of walls, which I find interesting. Desc says mountain views, but I couldn’t see that in any pictures save for one (living room view straight on to the TV), where you can see a mountain over top another building. View out the back is still nice enough, though. At first I was confused trying to reconcile the view from the balcony with where their map shows the unit, but I eventually figured out their map is wrong, probably because it uses Google Maps, which also gets it wrong. In this case, Apple Maps shows the unit properly located on the opposite side of the central community area (which is a much nicer location than what their map indicates).

This one is on the far side, though, at 30 minutes minimum. And I’m not sure if having stairs at the entrance that must be negotiated every time is a great idea.

Cave Creek is yet another few hundred feet higher in elevation than Fountain Hills, so another couple degrees cooler. Like Fountain Hills, they receive a novelty snow once or twice a year. Culturally, Cave Creek is sort of small-town with a definite old-West bent that attracts a laid-back, quirky sort of crowd. It’s also a popular tourist spot for Southwest-style art and old-West themed shows and such.		9/135100 E Rancho Paloma Dr #2077, Cave Creek, AZ 85331Y

Corner unit has windows on two sides, with back windows looking over landscaping to the the canal trail walking path (about 35' away) and the canel on the other side of it (about 55' away), and side windows overlooking some landscaping to the neighboring unit about 50' away (the parking garage entrance is between the buildings here, though I don't think it's visible from the unit except on the patio looking sharply to the right). Of note, medium-voltage power lines are visible about 100' away on the other side of the canal. Also of note, the walking path is popular, so expect a lot of people going by, which you'll either enjoy or you won't. The patio is only on the side, with one end of it back-facing, so primary patio view is that sideways view. Out front, there are a fair number of trees along both sides of the road, which is nice. Of note, though, there are three steps to climb from the sidewalk to unit entrance. Inside, common-area floors are wood, while the bedrooms are carpet. Master bedroom is on back wall with view out to the canal from straight on and from where the bed is shown, but I think the view from the wall opposite the bed would be obstructed by an outside alcove wall that conceals power meters. Second bedroom has side view, and the small den appears to be windowless. There's a breakfast bar but not really a separate dining area, though the way they have it arranged with part of the living area as a dining area definitley works. Kitchen appliances are Dacor, and the range is gas. Kitchen has a decent amount of cabinet space. Gas fireplace; dual-pane, low-E windows. HOA a little high but includes water/trash and roof. Community features inlcude a clubhouse with outdoor grills, but unknown on pool table. MCS: Toured 2/20. I liked finishes & layout, view out of primary & living space is the scottsdale "waterfront" canal. out of bed #2 is next building in complex. community gym & pool are nice, wine cellar space available to rent.

Feeling is warm-modern, light. Lens choices for photos make it hard to gauge sizes of spaces, but unit looks well-lit throughout, with plenty of windows, glass doors, and skylights. In-kitchen dining area plus breakfast bar. Setup in the laundry room is a little unusual with washer and dryer positioned orthagonally with the water heater in the corner between them (I think it may have been a bathroom at one time). There's also an odd hole in the ceiling in the living room, like they needed access to run wires or removed an air vent. 2-car carport with an offset, walled path to the front door. Backyard has small covered area plus an area of artificial turf; with some plants and such, it could be a pleasant, tranquil space. HOA is pretty low but includes only general grounds maintenance - so no landscaping or roof. MCS: Toured - not a fit for neighborhood & area.

Plenty of things within short car ride. Fireplace, dining area. A lot of the windows seem well-shaded, which is nice for heat but means less light. However, a handful of skylights bring in a lot of light to some areas, including the kitchen, so would have to judge this in person. Can't see a lot of the master shower in the pictures, but it looks like it might be a nicely redone walk-in setup. Large master closet, large second bedroom with vaulted ceiling, large laundry room with cabinet storage and a skylight. Back patio looks very pleasant with its landscaping, though the covered area is very small. At minimum, I suspect you'd want to update the flooring throughout. 2-car garage.

Lots of places to eat within walking distance; grocery is a short car ride away, as is the mall. Unit itself is seems to have high-quality finishes (including concrete ceiling), though I can't tell if brick walls in living room and kitchen are real. Other thoughtful touches include hidden accent lighting, extra-wide air vents, and nicely done organizers in both bedrooms' closets. Low-E windows, Toto toilets. Room at the kitchen counter to eat plus small dining area. Bathroom showers features hexagonal tile theme on floor, walls, and ceiling. Main downside is that views out kithen end aren't that great - parking structure, utility lines. Views out front are of the landscaped front/cul-de-sac/building -- better but still nothing special.

Brick and wood interior materials are attractive. Upgrades appear well-chosen, particularly in the kitchen. As an older home, the recent utilities upgrades are a big bonus as are the accessibility adaptations. There's room to eat at the island, but I'm not sure about a separate dining space -- maybe room for a small table next to the island by the sliding door. Views out windows look to be quite green, and the back patio has a view of Camelback Mountain. There seems to be a lot of mature landscaping, but there really aren't good photos of the outside. It's also not clear where the unit is within the development. Photos of the inside don't make it easy to understand layout, but it looks like there's a lot of light and they made good use of the square footage. The master closet and bathroom appear to be one, and parking is a single carport spot. HOA is quite high and it's not clear what drives that. There's apparently some sort of community center, but its unknown whether a pool table is part of that. There's also a $762 monthly land lease payment listed that I think is in addition to the $1106 HOA fee (but I could be wrong about that). MCS: You're not wrong. HOA+Land lease =$1800 per month.

Two floors, but has a master on the base floor. That said, looks like a single AC unit, though the ceiling fan along with the upstairs opening to the main living area may mitigate this. Engineered wood floors. The door at the upstairs landing appears to go to the rooftop patio, which is great for certain uses (e.g., stargazing) but probably not a space where you'd put a bunch of furniture and entertain, etc. I suspect you'd want to do a few updates especially in the bathrooms. Has a pleasant-looking ground-level patio, part of which is covered and has sun shades. Fireplace, dining area with kitchen pass-thru. Two-car garage that's nicely finished and has lots of storage, though it looks like there's no inside access to it. Laundry is in the garage. Looks like there is a mature tree in front and in back.

Industrial feel mixed with cigar lounge that combines a stainless cooking hood, exposed electrical conduit, industrial pendant lights, and exposed AC ductwork with dark wood textures and exposed brick and block walls. Could go very wrong, or be quite nice -- photos seem to suggest the latter. Flooring is laminate and tile. Bathrooms have been modernized with upscale fixtures including Toto-style motorized bidet toilet seats and rainshower shower head, though the master has a shower curtain and the second bathroom is a shower/tub.

To the east, the view is of the tennis court and the ongoing boundary wall with grass/landscaping to the left, with some mountains in the distance. Pictured patio is on the back side (unclear if there is also a side patio). Interior-wise, flooring appears to be 18" ceramic tile in main areas and a patterned low-pile carpet in the bedrooms. You'd want to update the bathrooms to start, maybe also the floors depending on your mood. Kitchen looks serviceable, though I could see you swapping in your Viking range/oven.

Floors are wood in common areas and marble tile in bedrooms. Purely opinion, but I'm not crazy about the marble choice, as I don't think it really fits the feel of the house. Lots of closet storage. A couple of quirks: The front door and separate mail slot are in the (1-car) carport, and primary lighting in living room, kitchen, and bedrooms is by chandelier (which, combined with the marble, makes the overall feel a bit overwraught for what the house is). Also, there's an exterior door that appears to go into the adjoining unit, like what you might see in a hotel room. I'm sure it doesn't, though - maybe a storage closet there? It kinda feels like an odd remodel. On the other hand, the windows and doors are high-quality and dual-pane with low-E, the landscaping is very nice and includes a handful of mature trees and climbing vines, and the backyard and covered patio are pleasant and peaceful-feeling, right down to the bird baths and feeders. Listing says mountain views, but that's not pictured (the window views seem to mostly be of landscaping). HOA super-low but doesn't really include anything, such as the roof.

(Of note, though, the ultra-wealthy Silverleaf community is nearby, and the roads are such that on your way to my house, you'll hit a spot where those folks kinda get funneled through, making it a prime location for car spotting.) Unit itself looks pleasant. I like that the floorplan is kinda of open but isn't just one big room. On the flip side, I'm not really a fan of the rustic-wood look on the floors -- a bit too much texture for my tastes. I'm also curious about how much natural light gets back into the kitchen area and that hallway, since pretty much all the light has to come from the back windows/door that look out onto the covered patio. Shopping and dining are within walking distance. HOA fee is a bit high; it comes with a beautiful community center, but I don't see you using that very much.

Fun fact: in the view out back across the golf course, that's my neighborhood on the other side :-). From our house to here is walkable via streets or better, via golf course paths. There's a variety of restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance, with much more a short car ride away. The unit itself definitely would need some updating, but the price gives you some room to do that. Fireplace and a very nice golf course/mountain view make for a good foundation. Back of unit is north/east-facing. HOA relateively low, includes water/sewer/trash and roof. Parking is covered spot. Big question: does it have an elevator? I couldn't find an answer to that. It's a third-floor unit. MCS: 3rd floor walkup

Doesn’t look like you’ll have mountain views, but they’re landscaped views. Location’s not bad, though I’m pretty certain it’s not McCormick Ranch as the listing claims. First floor.

Sr: This one’s just a little too small so I had taken it off my list when I looked at it again. I’m going through them now to see which ones I might be interested in as before I was just trying to assemble some that looked OK at first blush. By the way, who is McCormick Ranch supposed to be special for some reason? Do you have a little time to chat today?

Jr: McCormick Ranch is a large (3100 acres) planned community built on land that used to be a ranch owned by the McCormick family. Aside from its size, it’s known for having a lot of amenities (two 18-hole golf courses, 25 miles of bike paths, seven lakes…) and a good location in central Scottsdale. It’s nice enough, but I wouldn’t say it’s special in any way. As to this condo, it’s very close to McCormick Ranch but beyond the boundary. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t make use of those amenities.

Sr: Gotcha I understand. I know there’s a couple of others that I’ve sent you that also say in the McCormick Ranch area. This particular one though it’s just a little bit too small. There’s a couple of others that I like but what I can see that are not in that area. I know I’d really like to have a view, but can only do what you can do and there is one single-family home that I sent you that looks pretty darn nice and it has a master downstairs and two upstairs bedrooms that can be used for yes. It has no view but it’s a nice layout. Anyway, if you can chat, just let me know. If not, let me know when it might be a good time for you.		9/229275 E Mission Ln #114, Scottsdale, AZ 85258Y

Patio view might be a bit crimped, but it's hard to tell. About 20 minutes away, a little more with traffic. Two garage spaces, reasonable HOA. Mayo clinic location that's mentioned is their Scottsdale campus, which I believe focuses on outpatient services (along with some specialties).12/2210055 N 142nd St #1020, Scottsdale, AZ 85259Y
