About Desert Ridge, Phoenix AZ 85050

Desert Ridge began taking shape in the 1990s and now covers thousands of acres with dozens of neighborhoods. Housing ranges from condos and townhomes to single-family homes and custom estates, so there are options for first-time buyers, move-up buyers and downsizers alike.

Shopping, Schools and Getting Around

Desert Ridge Marketplace and High Street are right in the community, along with the JW Marriott resort and its golf courses and a Mayo Clinic hospital campus. The area is served by Paradise Valley Unified School District, and Loop 101 and SR-51 make commuting across the Valley simple.

FAQs

To help you make informed decisions, we've compiled answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

How much do I need for a down payment on a home?
The amount you need for a down payment depends on the type of loan and your financial situation. While 20% is a common benchmark, many buyers put down less—some conventional loans allow as little as 3%, and FHA loans require just 3.5%.
What's included in my monthly mortgage payment?
What is a 2-1 buydown, and how does it work?
Who pays for the 2-1 buydown—the buyer, the seller, or the lender?
What are closing costs, and how much should I expect to pay?
How does my credit score affect my mortgage rate?
