Background
One of Scottsdale's older residential neighborhoods of its size
The Sherwood Heights Area was originally located in the unincorporated Maricopa County urban area and was annexed by Scottsdale in April 1956. The area was platted between 1954 and 1957, with homes built from the mid-1950s into the early 1970s.
The neighborhood is known for single-story ranch-style homes, large parcels, native desert vegetation, broad streets, alley service access, and views toward Camelback Mountain and Papago Buttes.
