Gated Community Homes for Sale in Cave Creek, Arizona

Cave Creek is a northern Valley town with a strong Western identity, wide-open desert and a lot of horse properties. It sits north of Phoenix and Scottsdale, next to Carefree, and is a popular pick for buyers who want space and a country feel. These are the newest homes for sale in Cave Creek where Gated or Guarded Entry is listed as a community feature in the MLS listing data.

What Gated Can Mean

A gated community can mean anything from a keypad gate to a staffed guard house, and access rules for guests, contractors and deliveries vary. Gated communities often have HOA dues that pay for gate and common-area upkeep, so it is worth comparing what you get for the cost.

Before You Buy

Confirm the type of gate, guest and vendor access rules, and the HOA dues and assessments before you make an offer.

Every purchase is different, and I'm a strong negotiator who keeps negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands. On some homes you may also be able to take over the seller's existing FHA, VA or USDA loan; see my assumable mortgage guide.
