Here is another photo of the ambiance for the houses in McCormick Ranch, with golf courses, lakes, bike trails and other community amenities running throughout the master planned community.
McCormick Ranch was the last large cattle ranch within the City of Scottsdale. In 1970 the family sold 4,236 acres (1714 hectares) for a master planned community to Kaiser-Aetna. With the concurrence of the City of Scottsdale, the City Planner was hired by the developers to plan this lovely community.
The McCormick family also donated 100 acres of land to the City, which became McCormick Stillman Railroad Park, with old train cars on display and small trains that ride around the park.
We have photos of the stark landscape of the Atacama Desert of northern Chile this week on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

When I first moved to Phoenix in 1982, I rented a place in McCormick Ranch. It was, and is, a delightful place to live.
Beautiful scene. I can visualize a couple of cows on that grassy hill.
Such a wonderfuul view toward the lake.
If anyone placed cows on that grassy hill, my suspicion is that they would soon be bombarded by golf balls.
