Sincuidados, recognized for environmental excellence, offers residents desert serenity

From Scottsdale Scene magazine, May 1990, p28

Sincuidados, recently honored by the presentation of the prestigious Crescordia award for environmental excellence by the Valley Forward Association, is a 560-acre residential community nestled in the high Sonoran Desert of north Scottsdale. The developers and builders of this beautiful area ensured, through extensive master planning, that the pristine excellence of this unique desert sit will be maintained in perpetuity.

This dedication to the preservation of important natural amenities attracted the attention of the Valley Forward Association, which has promoted air quality, conservation, appropriate land use, and preservation since 1969. Subsequently, Sincuidados was cited for environmental excellence.

One of the ways that the Sincuidados guarantee is implemented is by the employment of an innovative "building envelope," a strictly defined area on each lot where a home can be constructed. This practice assures residents that their personal, breathtaking views will not be interrupted in any direction. Also, property owners at Sincuidados abide by a rigid standard of building covenants, thus upholding the ultimate objective of preserving the area’s natural state and enhancing the value of the community, both aesthetically and financially.

Prospective home owners are offered a variety of options at Sincuidados, including a vast selection of spectacular lots, custom homes already constructed by a number of the Valley’s most prominent builders, and even an arrangement with a builder and investor who feature a trade-in program. Obviously, property owners also are welcome to retain their own architect and builder. Home sites, ranging in size from 1-1/4 to 2 acres, are priced form $85,000 to $139,000. Custom luxury homes are available from $340,000 to well over $1 million.

Situated four miles north of Pinnacle Peak Road on Pima Road, between Dixileta Drive and Lone Mountain Road, Sincuidados – which means "without worries, without cares" – offers desert serenity and privacy combined with the convenience of big-city amenities and services. In addition to some of the finest golf courses, only minutes away are the ships and restaurants of el Pedregal, the Pinnacle Peak/Citadel stores, The Boulders Resort, The Scottsdale Princess, a new Four Seasons Hotel and the shops and services of Carefree.
