Legend Trail Homes for Sale in Scottsdale, AZ 85262

Legend Trail is a golf community in North Scottsdale, ZIP 85262, near the Carefree and Cave Creek border, with trail access to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. It has eight neighborhoods of condos, cottages and single-family homes around a public Rees Jones golf course that opened in 1995, plus a community center with a pool, fitness and courts.

Legend Trail mixes a relaxed golf setting with a lot of open desert, since a big share of the land was left natural. You get views of Pinnacle Peak, Black Mountain and the McDowell Mountains, and Carefree is close for coffee and dinner. It offers a wider range of home sizes than many North Scottsdale golf communities. Here is what I want you to know before you tour.

Where Legend Trail is

Legend Trail is in the northeast part of Scottsdale, close to where Scottsdale meets Carefree and Cave Creek. Legend Trail Parkway runs through the community, and the community center sits on it. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve borders the area, and the Owl Hoot Trail heads into the preserve from Legend Trail Parkway. Visitors park at the Brown's Ranch or Pima and Dynamite trailheads, since there is no trail parking on the parkway.

Carefree and Cave Creek are the closest towns for shops and restaurants. For bigger shopping and work, most people head south toward the rest of Scottsdale. Nearby communities include Terravita, Desert Mountain, Troon North and Desert Highlands.

The homes

The Legend Trail Community Association lists eight neighborhoods, with homes from about 1,300 to more than 6,000 square feet. That range is what makes Legend Trail stand out: you can find a condo, a golf cottage or a large single-family home in the same community. Named sections include The Fairways (cottages), The Retreat (condos), Legend Vista Estates, Candlewood Estates and Baraca Estates. Some neighborhoods are gated and some are not. The golf course opened in 1995, and much of the building followed in the years after.

Because the community includes so many home types, I always compare a home against others of the same type and neighborhood, not Legend Trail as a whole.

Things to do

Legend Trail Golf Club: a public, daily-fee 18-hole, par 72 course credited to Rees Jones, opened in 1995. The Cantina restaurant is at the club.
Community center: a pool, spa, fitness center, two tennis courts and four pickleball courts for residents.
Hiking and biking: trail access into the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
Carefree and Cave Creek: close by for dining, galleries and events.

Schools

Legend Trail is in the Cave Creek Unified School District. Listings I see in Legend Trail name Sonoran Trails Middle School and Cactus Shadows High School. For elementary school, some listings show Black Mountain Elementary and others show Desert Sun Academy. Please confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the district before you buy.

HOA basics

Legend Trail has a master association, the Legend Trail Community Association, which runs the community center and common areas. Some neighborhoods also have their own sub-association, such as the Legend Trail Parcel A and Parcel E associations, so many homes pay into two associations. The golf club is separate from the HOA. Ask for the CC&Rs, budgets and rules for both levels early in escrow.

Buying in Legend Trail

Start by choosing the home type that fits you: condo, cottage or single-family. Then compare golf, mountain and preserve views, and whether you want a gated section. I check the sub-association rules, rental rules and planned projects before we write an offer. See my first steps for buying a home in Arizona, and if a seller has a low-rate loan, read my guide to buying with an assumable mortgage in Arizona.

Selling your Legend Trail home

Buyers compare your home to others of the same type in Legend Trail, so I price against sales in your own neighborhood and adjust for views, lot and updates. See how to price your Arizona home to sell and my North Scottsdale home values guide, then call me for a free price review.

Questions buyers ask

Is the Legend Trail golf course public?
Yes, Legend Trail Golf Club is a public, daily-fee course, so you do not need a membership to play.

Is Legend Trail gated?
Some neighborhoods in Legend Trail are gated and some are not. Candlewood Estates, for example, is guard-gated. Ask me about the gate setup for any home you like.

What kinds of homes are in Legend Trail?
Legend Trail has condos, golf cottages and single-family homes in eight neighborhoods, from about 1,300 to more than 6,000 square feet.

What schools serve Legend Trail?
Legend Trail is in the Cave Creek Unified School District, and listings commonly show Sonoran Trails Middle and Cactus Shadows High. Confirm the elementary school for the address with the district.
