Scottsdale Airpark Home Prices by Pocket (Updated Q4 2026)
By Clayton Wolfe, Partner at The Agency · Published October 30, 2026 · Last updated October 30, 2026
I'm Clayton Wolfe, Partner at The Agency in Scottsdale. I've represented buyers and sellers around the Scottsdale Airpark since 2020, I'm a commercially rated pilot with 2,000 hours, and hangar homes are the niche I work most. This is the pricing I'm seeing right now, pocket by pocket.
One thing to clear up first. "Scottsdale Airpark" is the commercial district around Scottsdale Airport (KSDL), not a residential airpark. No home in Scottsdale has a taxiway to KSDL. If you want to taxi from your garage to a runway, you're looking at Stellar Airpark in Chandler, Pegasus Airpark in Queen Creek, or Sky Ranch at Carefree. I've included those below because that's the question most pilots are really asking.
Homes near the Scottsdale Airpark run from roughly $350,000 for a lock-and-leave condo to $5 million and up in DC Ranch and Silverleaf, with most single family homes in the 85260 and 85258 pockets trading between $750,000 and $2 million, based on ARMLS and brokerage listing data for Q4 2026. True hangar homes with taxiway access sit outside Scottsdale proper and start around $1.3 million, with most closing between $2 million and $3.5 million.
Typical price range | What that budget gets you | Runway or taxiway access | Typical lot or hangar situation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Condos and lock-and-leave near the Airpark | $350,000 to $700,000 | A 1 to 2 bedroom, 900 to 1,500 sq ft condo or townhome with pool and amenities, a short drive to the terminal | Nearby | Attached product, no private hangar |
Kierland and Scottsdale Quarter | $450,000 to $900,000 condos; $900,000 to $1.8M single family | A walkable 2 bedroom condo, or a 2,500 to 3,500 sq ft single family home a few blocks from the Quarter | Nearby | Small to mid lots; no hangars |
Central 85260, Airpark-adjacent | $750,000 to $1.3M | A 3 to 4 bedroom ranch, 2,000 to 2,800 sq ft, often with a pool, under or near the pattern | Nearby | 8,000 to 12,000 sq ft lots; no hangars |
McCormick Ranch | $1.1M to $2.0M | A 2,500 to 3,200 sq ft home, often on a lagoon or golf frontage | No | 8,000 to 14,000 sq ft lots; no hangars |
Grayhawk | $1.1M to $2.2M | A 4 bedroom, 3,000 to 3,800 sq ft golf community home with mountain views | No | 8,000 to 15,000 sq ft lots; no hangars |
DC Ranch and north Scottsdale luxury | $1.9M to $5M; Silverleaf $3M to $8M+ | A 4,000 to 5,000 sq ft home in DC Ranch; a custom estate on half an acre or more in Silverleaf | No | 10,000 sq ft to 1+ acre; no hangars |
Hangar homes with direct taxiway access (Stellar, Pegasus, Sky Ranch at Carefree) | $1.3M to $3.5M; Pegasus tails to $16M+ | A 3,500 to 5,000 sq ft home on half an acre to 1.5 acres with a 3,000+ sq ft attached hangar | Yes | Half acre to 2 acres; hangar doors typically 58 to 78 ft wide, 17 ft clear |
Hangar-only and hangar condos (KSDL, Deer Valley, Falcon Field, Chandler) | $250,000 to $1.5M+ for the hangar alone | A ground-lease hangar unit at a city airport, sized for a single piston up to a light jet | Yes | Ground lease on city airports, not fee simple; Stellar hangars are private |

Condos and lock-and-leave near the Airpark
This is the pilot's pied-Ã -terre. Raintree, the Hayden corridor, and the complexes off Frank Lloyd Wright put you five minutes from the FBO. Watch the HOA budget and the age of the roofs and plumbing, because many of these were built in the 1980s and 1990s. If you fly in and out, ask whether the HOA allows short-term rental of your unit; most don't.
Kierland and Scottsdale Quarter
You're buying walkability and newer construction here. The condos near the Quarter carry higher dues than older product, and some buildings have rental caps. The single family pocket is small and thin on comps, so pricing swings on the handful of sales each quarter. I price these against Kierland Commons and the 85254 side of Scottsdale Road, not the Airpark itself.
Central 85260, Airpark-adjacent
This is where the noise disclosure matters. The City of Scottsdale maps the airport's traffic pattern airspace and its 55, 60, and 65 DNL noise contours, and the state requires disclosure for homes in the pattern. Most of 85260 is fine, but I pull the contour map on every showing west of Hayden and south of Thunderbird. Buyers who fly don't mind the sound. Their spouses sometimes do, and resale buyers often do. Price it in.
McCormick Ranch
Lagoon and golf frontage drive the premium. The remodeled 1970s and 1980s homes are trading well above $600 per square foot, which is strong for the age. Watch for original cast iron plumbing, flat roofs with deferred maintenance, and HOA rules on exterior changes. There's no aircraft angle here, but it's the pocket I show most to pilots who want a real neighborhood ten minutes from the airport.
Grayhawk
Master-planned, golf, mountain views, and consistent product, which makes it easy to comp. The spread between the Raptor and Talon side and the rest of the community is real. Check the sub-association dues; some villages stack two HOAs.
DC Ranch and north Scottsdale luxury
DC Ranch is a wide market, from villas under $1 million to estates over $8 million, so the median tells you little. Silverleaf is its own tier. The design review process is strict, so budget time and money for any exterior change. From here it's a 15 to 20 minute drive to the KSDL hangars, which most of my pilot clients accept in exchange for the lifestyle.
Hangar homes with direct taxiway access
Stellar in Chandler and Pegasus in Queen Creek are the two serious options for a turboprop. Sky Ranch at Carefree is the closest to north Scottsdale but has a shorter runway and older, smaller hangars. Before you write an offer, I verify four things: the recorded taxiway easement and who maintains it, the HOA's aircraft and operating-hour rules, the clear door opening (a PC-12 needs about 54 feet of span and 14 feet of tail height, so a 58 by 17 door is tight), and whether the hangar was permitted as a hangar or as a garage. That last one affects insurance and resale.
Hangar-only and hangar condos
At KSDL, Deer Valley, Falcon Field, and Chandler you're buying a hangar on a ground lease from the city, not land. The remaining lease term and the rent escalator drive value more than the building does. Public sale data is nearly nonexistent, so I price these off private broker comps and the airport's lease schedule. Stellar's commercial hangars are the exception; those sit on private land.
The house next door is not a comp. A hangar home is two assets on one parcel, and most appraisers only know how to value one of them. Here's how I break it apart.
When I list a hangar home, I write two valuations, one for the house and one for the hangar and access, and I document both for the appraiser. When I represent a buyer, I do the same thing in reverse to find the ones that are mispriced. Pilots usually sell to pilots, and both sides know the airplane math better than the comps do. That is also why pricing one-of-a-kind homes needs its own approach; I wrote about that in pricing one-of-a-kind homes.
Short answers to the questions I hear most. Each one is covered in more depth above.
No. Scottsdale Airport has no residential taxiway access and no hangar homes. You can own or lease a hangar on the field, and you can live nearby, but you can't taxi from your home to the runway in Scottsdale. The closest residential airparks are Sky Ranch at Carefree, Stellar Airpark in Chandler, and Pegasus Airpark in Queen Creek.
Most hangar homes with real taxiway access close between $1.3 million and $3.5 million at Stellar and Pegasus, with a few trophy properties well above that. The price depends more on hangar size, door clearance, and runway length than on the house. Budget separately for the hangar, because appraisers often undervalue it.
It depends on which side of Hayden Road you're on. The City of Scottsdale publishes noise contour maps and the state requires disclosure for homes inside the traffic pattern airspace. Homes directly under the approach and departure paths in central 85260 hear the most. Pilots rarely mind; resale buyers sometimes do, and that shows up in price.
Four things: the recorded taxiway easement and maintenance agreement, the HOA's aircraft and operating-hour rules, the clear door opening measured against your airplane's span and tail height, and whether the hangar was permitted as a hangar. I also confirm fuel availability on the field and the runway's length and lighting.
For a quick drive to the FBO with a real neighborhood around you, McCormick Ranch and central 85260 are the most common picks among my pilot clients. Kierland works if you want to walk to dinner. DC Ranch and Silverleaf add 15 to 20 minutes but offer the lifestyle most of my clients end up choosing. Condos near the Airpark are the right answer for a second home you fly in and out of.
