The 7 Historic Phases of Villa Monterey
Developed between 1961 and 1969 by renowned mid-century builder Ralph Haver and his contemporaries, Villa Monterey is Scottsdale’s largest historic townhouse district. While the community feels like one cohesive neighborhood, it is actually comprised of seven distinct geographic and administrative phases.
Each phase operates under its own independent Homeowners Association (HOA), managing its own private recreational facilities, community pools, and specific architectural guidelines while adhering to Scottsdale’s overarching Historic Preservation overlay.
Phase 1: Villa Monterey Improvement Association
-
Established: Platted in March 1961 as the pioneer phase of the community.
-
The Layout: Features 26 residential tracts designed around a centralized community park and pool facility (Tract 27).
-
Significance: This phase set the standard for the community’s signature “lock-and-leave” townhome concept.
Phase 2: Villa Monterey Recreational Association
-
The Layout: Built immediately following Phase 1 to meet high demand.
-
Vibe: Highly active community spaces with beautifully manicured central medians.
