The character.
Tally Ho Farms is the rare place in south Tempe where you can keep horses and be 20 minutes from Sky Harbor. Acreage lots, a 98% ownership rate, and +4.4% appreciation in a down market tell the story: this is a neighborhood where people buy and stay.
The educational profile is exceptional — 49% of residents hold graduate or professional degrees, the highest in the study area. Recent sales data shows a $3M–$3.2M comp alongside $400–$500/sqft pricing, suggesting the upper range here is real and sustained. This is not a starter-luxury neighborhood.
Who buys here.
Equestrian buyers, often from Scottsdale or out of state, who want horse property without the drive to Queen Creek. Professionals and executives who value lifestyle and acreage over flash and proximity to retail.
Why it works.
Why Locals Love It
Horses in Tempe — that alone makes the short list for equestrian buyers. Add large lots, deep setbacks, and proximity to the 202, and you have a rare combination.
Good to Know
Horse property rules vary by parcel. Zoning, well/irrigation rights, and lot size all affect what's permitted. Ask before you assume.
Pro Tip
Equestrian buyers from Scottsdale often overlook Tally Ho Farms entirely. That's the arbitrage — similar lifestyle, meaningfully lower price per acre, 15 minutes closer to the airport.
HONEST TRADEOFF
More inventory than the 14–27 home enclaves, but you give up some of the exclusivity and tightness those smaller streets provide. This is depth-vs-rarity, and 54 homes is depth.
Who this fits.
“I’m buying in the adjacent equestrian corridor myself. The lifestyle here is legitimately special — horses in Tempe, no HOA, 20 minutes to the airport. Scottsdale buyers don’t know what they’re missing.”
