Cactus Corridor 1
Neighborhood Guide
Welcome to Cactus Corridor 1
The Cactus Shea Corridor 1 is located strategically between downtown and North Scottsdale. The area was first created to provide communities with ample space for equestrian facilities. The large lot sizes and remaining stables and riding trails are the remains of that Wild West meets the city lifestyle. The common thread for all communities in the area is luxury. From the days when horses roamed to today's many activities of collecting classic cars or art, the Cactus Shea Corridor is the place to support these passions and many more.
Homes in the Cactus Shea Corridor 1 area run the gamut from 2,500 square feet on a typically sized lot to over 10,000 square feet on a lot that encompasses over an acre. The properties include those with a single structure and many with added features, including a guest house, casita, detached home office, cabana, and more. The price range in this highly desirable part of Scottsdale starts near the $500,000 point for a single-family home and skyrockets to over $10M.
The Cactus Shea Corridor style is as varied as the homes themselves. Homes from the early 60s still maintain the old-style hacienda facade while others are strikingly contemporary. Other homes offer distinctive features from the Tuscany region or a more modern take on the Southwest style with a flat roof and stucco but far from old-world.
The best feature of the area is the easy access to the 101, the 51, and the vistas driving down Tatum Boulevard toward the city. Passing between the majestic Piestewa Peak and Camelback Mountain, this surface street provides the perfect alternative to the highway.
