Silverleaf: North Scottsdale
Silverleaf is desert living at its best. Though the luxury community is located in the canyons of the McDowell Mountains and surrounded by the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, just as much gorgeousness is found within Silverleaf’s residences and homesites. The newest addition to the community’s portfolio is the previously stalled Sterling at Silverleaf, a collection of villas, estates and luxury condominiums; Sterling’s single-family detached villas are currently in their first phase of development. Among the world-class amenities at Silverleaf are the 50,000-sq.-ft. clubhouse with stunning Mediterranean architecture and an adjoining spa and the par-72 golf course. www.silverleaf.com.
