The Boulders, Scottsdale

The Boulders affectionately takes its name from the magnificent boulder outcroppings found throughout – some nearly 12 million years old. Situated on 1,300 acres in the foothills of the Sonoran Desert, this secluded residential and resort community is home to the Waldorf Astoria. Due to it’s location on the Scottsdale and Carefree border, The Boulders is partially located in both Scottsdale and Carefree.
