Inside Windgate Ranch.
Selected scenes from around Windgate Ranch — the homes, the amenities, and the everyday details that define the neighborhood.
Living at Windgate
Designer homes. Family programming. Quiet streets.
Windgate Ranch sits within DC Ranch's broader master plan as one of its few guard-gated Toll Brothers communities — combining developer-grade build quality with DC Ranch's amenity infrastructure and school zones. Approximately 600 homes across three Toll Brothers home collections (Heritage, Estate, and Reserve) deliver a broad family-luxury range from $1.7M to $5M+.
What distinguishes Windgate Ranch from neighboring family communities is the combination of guard-gated security and designer-grade architecture under one community umbrella. The HOA's amenity center — pool, tennis, pickleball, fitness, clubhouse — and year-round family programming create the social fabric of the community. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve sits just two miles from the gate.
For families exploring Scottsdale homes for sale, Windgate Ranch consistently scores at the top of the quality-of-life-per-dollar ranking in the guard-gated category — designer construction, A+ schools, and resort amenities at a meaningfully more attainable entry point than Silverleaf or Estancia.
Toll Brothers Home Collections
Three collections. One community.
Windgate Ranch's defining feature is the breadth of home product under one guard-gated HOA — from refined Heritage homes to fully customizable Reserve estates.
Collection 01
Reserve Collection
Toll Brothers' flagship Windgate Ranch line — fully customizable estate homes on 1/3 to 1/2 acre lots with private courtyards, casitas, and detached guest suites. The pinnacle of the community.
Collection 02
Estate Collection
Larger family homes with formal great rooms, dedicated office/library, dual master suites, and integrated indoor-outdoor entertaining areas. The most popular tier for families.
Collection 03
Heritage Collection
Refined family homes that fit the entry-point of the Windgate Ranch community — every Heritage home includes designer-grade finishes, generous outdoor living, and direct access to community amenities.
Community Amenities
Family resort, every day.
Resort Pool & Spa
Community pool, splash pad, and adjacent hot tub spa. Heated for year-round use and a meaningful family gathering space.
Tennis & Sport Court
Lighted tennis courts, sport court, basketball court, and a dedicated pickleball area — programmed by the HOA for adult leagues and junior clinics.
Clubhouse & Fitness
Community clubhouse with a fully equipped fitness center, event spaces, and rooms reservable for private parties.
Preserve Access
Direct community access to the McDowell Sonoran Preserve trail system — the Lost Dog Wash trailhead is two miles from the gate.
Family Programming
Year-round HOA-organized events — Movies in the Park, Easter egg hunt, Halloween Spooktacular, holiday lighting, and weekly fitness programming.
Guard-Gated Security
Staffed entry gate with 24/7 guard presence and patrol throughout the community. Low through-traffic by design.
Why Windgate Ranch
Eight reasons families pick Windgate.
"We needed Chaparral High zone, guard-gated security, and a real family neighborhood — not just a community. Pamela got us into an Estate Collection home in Windgate Ranch in three weeks. Our kids ride bikes to friends' houses and we walk to the pool."
— The Becker Family, Estate Collection residents
