Homes in Troon
Troon developed starting in the mid-1980s around Troon Country Club, with custom and semi-custom homes in Santa Fe, territorial, Southwest contemporary, and later desert contemporary styles. Many homes now have 1980s- or 1990s-era windows and doors, and remodels often replace dated framing with larger glass toward the views.
The look: The classic look is Santa Fe and Pueblo: earth-tone stucco, soft parapets, flat roofs and vigas among granite boulders and saguaros, with Troon Mountain as the backdrop.
Heat, sun & monsoon considerations
Troon homes sit in open desert with long sightlines, which also means full sun exposure. Large view windows facing west need solar-control glass, and doors facing open desert see more blowing dust during monsoon storms.
HOA, permits & approvals
Troon-area associations generally have detailed design guidelines intended to keep homes blending into the desert, typically favoring muted, earth-tone colors. Expect review of frame colors, glass appearance, and any changes to openings, and note that much of north Scottsdale falls under the city's Environmentally Sensitive Lands rules. Requirements vary by association and change over time, so get a copy of your current design guidelines and submit before you order.
Views & glass choices
Views of Troon Mountain, Pinnacle Peak, and the valley lights are the reason many people live here. Large fixed panes, corner window units, and multi-slide doors with clear Low-E glass make the most of them; ask about how reflective a given glass coating looks from outside, since some communities care about reflectivity.
