In the heart of North Scottsdale, where rugged mountains meet expansive desert skies, Optima McDowell Mountain® redefines what it means to live well. Thoughtfully designed and rooted in the principles of Modernism, the apartment residences at 7220 Optima McDowell Mountain® offer sanctuary.

Every element of these residences is guided by the Optima® vision: beautiful, functional, and deeply attuned to the natural environment. Here, design serves a higher purpose—elevating daily life, inviting connection, and capturing the singular serenity of desert living.

Modern Architecture Meets Timeless Comfort

From the moment you enter an apartment residence, you’re greeted by expansive views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, which draw the outside in and flood each home with natural light. Clean lines and open layouts create a sense of calm and flow, while generous private terraces extend living spaces into the open air—perfect for sunrise coffee or sunset contemplation.

Thoughtful Interiors Designed for Living Well

Each residence is a masterclass in materials and modern elegance. Luxurious plank flooring, high ceilings, and modern lighting set a sophisticated tone, while contemporary cabinetry, quartz countertops, and full-tile backsplashes bring polish and function to the kitchens. Kitchen islands with pendant lighting make the space both a showpiece and a gathering place—ideal for quiet nights in or entertaining guests. In every room, the finishes are intentional, the layouts intuitive. Walk-in closets, full-size washers and dryers, and smart home-ready wiring offer the practical comforts of a well-appointed home—without ever sacrificing style.

Smart Design, Seamless Living

Beyond aesthetics, these residences are designed to support a truly modern lifestyle. Each unit is equipped with energy-efficient appliances, including stainless steel refrigerators, dishwashers, and ranges, blending performance with sleek design. USB outlets, central climate control, and ample storage make every detail of life a little easier and more enjoyable.

In select apartments, double vanities, separate soaking tubs, and upgraded appliance packages take everyday luxury to the next level—providing elevated options for those seeking even more refinement in their surroundings.

A Home That Reflects the Landscape

Optima McDowell Mountain® is deeply informed by its desert setting, and that connection to place is woven into every residence. From the natural color palettes to the expansive views of the McDowell Mountains, the design philosophy honors the land—bringing harmony between home and environment.

Life, Elevated

More than just a beautiful place to live, these residences offer access to a lifestyle shaped by wellness, convenience, and community. With immediate access to the tower’s exceptional amenities—including a rooftop Olympic-length pool, indoor/outdoor fitness center, and tranquil lounge areas—residents experience the best of both private retreat and social connection.

At Optima McDowell Mountain®, apartment living becomes something extraordinary. It’s where architecture uplifts, where design serves the soul, and where home feels like a natural extension of your best life.
