Heritage Village IV sits quietly in Scottsdale, AZ, right around Lake Serena, which lets folks enjoy the water from five miles of shoreline with pontoon boat rides, kayaks, paddleboats, canoes, and fishing-all of it needing a reservation or a fishing card, and there are walking and biking paths and a pick of basketball and pickleball courts for those that'd rather stay on land. The community includes 162 attached, resale homes for people aged 55 and over and belongs to a bigger group called Scottsdale Ranch, made up of more than 40 neighborhoods with over 3,939 properties, though Heritage Village IV itself offers assisted living to six residents at a time, keeping things small and manageable, and you'll find a clubhouse, a pool, a gym, a mail room, a library, and an art room as common areas and everyone can join in community events like Jazz Night or Knitwits from a calendar that keeps things lively all year.
Inside, trained staff help out around the clock with bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals-even meals that follow special dietary restrictions-and there's Wi-Fi and high-speed internet for anyone who wants to stay connected, plus a 24-hour call system and up to 16 hours of nursing care to support health and safety. Folks can also find plenty nearby, such as cafes, restaurants, parks, pharmacies, theaters, and medical offices, which means you aren't far from what you need. The Scottsdale Ranch Community Association (SRCA) handles management and keeps organized with staff like the Executive Director, Bookkeeper, Community Manager, Architectural and Homeowner Liaisons, and a Member Services Coordinator, and they keep a mailing list, run a homeowners' portal for documents, manage amenity reservations and help with event sponsorship or advertising. The community encourages people to chat, get involved, or gather in shared spaces like the lobby or common room, so neighbors tend to know each other and keep a friendly atmosphere.
Heritage Village IV has a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® designation and offers services and amenities that support older adults who want either independent or assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care, making it handy for most stages of aging. Along with health and housing services, Heritage Village IV connects with art, education, and real estate industries by running digital features like flipbook creation, QR code generation, and content collaborations with Canva, HubSpot, and Adobe. People involved in marketing, design, nonprofits, travel, and publishing sometimes use these tools to share local news, event info, or community magazines, even setting up digital sales or renting the community center for private use. The whole place started back in 1984, founded by Markland Properties and Costain Arizona, and has continued to focus on comfort, care, and active living ever since.
