Grayhawk is the Perfect Retirement Community

March 20, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

The master planned community of Grayhawk in North Scottsdale, Arizona has a hidden gem. There are a lot of beautiful master planned communities in North Scottsdale, but only Grayhawk has a senior assisted living facility. True to Grayhawk’s high standards, it is not just any assisted living facility but rather a Classic Residence by Hyatt. It is a retirement living community at the highest level of excellence, quality and distinction. This luxury facility and has been ranked #1 in Arizona for assisted living by Ranking Arizona for 8 straight years. They are obviously doing something right. Grayhawk’s Classic Residence by Hyatt specializes in dementia and Alzheimer’s care.

This is a wonderful amenity for Grayhawk families to have. Many families in Grayhawk have moved the senior members of their families into this luxury facility so that they can be close by.

Hey, What Happened to My Condo !!??

March 13, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

I got a call today from a client quite upset that the condo he has been admiring online is suddenly vanished from his webpage. He wanted to know what happened to his condo. It was sold, of course, to someone who ACTED rather than just ADMIRED the deal. The inventory of homes and condos at the bottom of the price range (under $250,000) are moving fast. The best properties are sold quickly. He somehow didn’t think it was fair that it wouldn’t be available for him to consider anymore. The only way to “reserve” a condo is to make an offer. This can easily be done by email. If your offer is accepted you have a 10 day inspection period to make a decision about whether to continue with the deal. If you like it – buy it, if you don’t like it – don’t buy it and get your money back during the 10 day period. It’s that simple.

If you want to be the early bird that gets the best worm, let’s get started to find you a great deal. Give us a call at 602-791-0536 or visit www.GrayhawkRealEstate.com.

New Condos Still Available at Grayhawk

March 12, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

A few brand new condos remain in Grayhawk. Encore at Grayhawk consists of gated townhomes and condominiums. They are exquisite luxury homes. Encore is located on the Grayhawk golf course and some have spectacular golf views. They are in their final phase of construction and the inventory of condos still available is limited. But they have left some of the best views for the end. 2 bedroom condos, fully built out and ready to move-in start at $379,900. 3 bedroom condos start at $449,900. Villa One is my favorite floor plan with its dramatic round turret entry. It has a lot of wow factor! This home will really impress your guests. There are also two move-in ready townhomes left. These are the last two remaining townhomes in Encore at Cachet. No more townhomes will be built. They start at $614,900 including their own private yard.

There are also many resale condos and townhomes at Encore currently for sale. There is even one two bedroom foreclosure for $314,000. That is one of the best foreclosure deals in Scottsdale. Want to take a look? Call me at 602-791-0536 or visit www.GrayhawkRealEstate.com. We would be happy to show you all the new or sale units currently available.

Twice the Fitness Fun for the Edge and Venu Residents

March 9, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

Many clients are impressed to learn that when they purchase a condo at either the Venu at Grayhawk or the Edge at Grayhawk they can use the fitness facilities at either complex. This is very appealing to both fitness fanatics as well as the casual exercisers. The facilities are very different so the ability to use either simply multiplies your choices. For instance, the fitness facility at The Venu at Grayhawk is oriented as a fitness studio. Classes include Yoga, Cardio-Blast, Spin, and Total Body Conditioning. The Yoga class is stretching and toning using the body’s own weight as resistance. The club provides yoga mats or you can bring your own. The Cardio-Blast class is a combination of hi/lo aerobics. It is a fast paced workout that incorporates cardio, kickboxing and muscle conditioning. The spin class is indoor cycling as a group done on stationary bikes to the beat of high energy music. Total Body Conditioning is a body sculpting class using the stability ball to target individual muscle groups. The Edge Fitness Facility is much more oriented towards weight lifting and circuit training. The club is packed with state of the art weight training machines.

Interested in taking a look at condos at Venu or The Edge? Give us a call at 602-791-0536 and we will take you on a personalized tour. We are your Grayhawk specialists.

Edge at Grayhawk – Affordable Luxury Condos in North Scottsdale

March 8, 2009 by Carmen Brodeur

Scottsdale condos are not known for their affordability. Scottsdale is after all one of the most expensive areas in Arizona. Within the Scottsdale real estate market, Grayhawk in North Scottsdale is one of the most upscale communities. Grayhawk is considered one of the most prestigious communities with two golf courses and close to the best shopping and restaurants in Scottsdale. Shockingly, you can currently get a 1 bedroom loft condo for $95,0000 in the Edge at Grayhawk. The housing crash has turned back the hands of time to years ago when Grayhawk condos were affordable. Take advantage of the crash of real estate prices to get into the exclusive North Scottsdale housing market. Live the Grayhawk lifestyle.

I am sure you are probably thinking you can’t possibly get much for under $200,000. Many people assume that it must be a pretty bare bones condo community. Absolutely not. The Edge at Grayhawk is a beautiful complex, full of amenities usually found at much more expensive complexes. There are two community heated pools and spas and a 3000 sq ft poolside gym with state of the art fitness equipment. The clubhouse has a $4 million Great Room including a sports lounge with 15 flat screen TVs, electronics game room with X-box, Playstation 3 & Nintendo Wii, billiards room, home theatre and entertainment kitchen area with a resident chef for event tasting. The Edge activities van shuttles residents to concerts, sporting events, and activities. Full-time concierge staff is available to assist residents with requests for everything from restaurant reservations and event tickets to dry cleaning. There is also an owner’s boating club at Bartlett Lake.

Interested in seeing some condos at The Edge at Grayhawk. Just give me a call at 602-791-0536. I’d be happy to show you any Grayhawk condos, townhomes or villas.

Smoothie Sundays are a favorite of many residents. Chef Mike starts your Sunday off right with yummy smoothies. $3.00/smoothie in the Great Room.
