Encore at Grayhawk Townhomes & Condos

Encore Townhomes for Sale

Encore's six floor plans — Palagio (offered in two configurations) and Villa One through Villa Four — run 1,343 to 2,446 square feet, several with garage options on the smaller Villa models, which gives buyers some flexibility between a compact two-bedroom and a larger three-bedroom layout within the same small community.

It sits between Renaissance and Avante in the north-central part of Grayhawk, an area that's quieter than the villages closer to the golf clubhouse but still an easy walk or short cart ride to Grayhawk's trail system.

Because Encore is a smaller enclave with a limited set of floor plans, buyers who want a specific layout sometimes need to wait for the right one to come up rather than choosing from several active listings at once. I keep a running list of who's watching this community specifically — if that's you, call 602-622-1226 and I'll let you know the moment something matching your plan hits the market.

Encore Floor Plans and Home Styles

Encore offers six floor plans that mix stacked condominium residences with townhomes that have no neighbor above or below. Palagio A and C and the two-floor Palagio B are the larger layouts. Villa One is also a two-floor plan, Villa Two sits in the middle of the range, and Villa Three and Villa Four are the smaller plans with a garage option. Approximate sizes run from 1,343 square feet to 2,446 square feet. Encore is a smaller enclave, so a buyer who wants one specific layout may need to wait for that plan to come on the market. The table lists each plan and the approximate size already published for this community.

Encore HOA and Amenities

Encore has a layered HOA: an Encore sub-association fee plus Grayhawk Community Association dues. The sub-association is the enclave layer, and the master association covers the broader Grayhawk community. Dues for a specific home are set out in that home's resale documents. Residents have access to Grayhawk Golf Club's two courses, Talon and Raptor, and to the community trail system. A portion of Encore fronts the Talon Course, which puts golf along the edge of the enclave as well as at the club. For the difference between the courses, see the Raptor vs Talon guide.

Lock-and-leave condos and townhomes

Encore at Grayhawk mixes stacked condominium residences with townhomes that have no neighbor above or below. Buyers who want that lower-maintenance format compare it with Cachet at Grayhawk (Talon guard gate), Tesoro (electronic gate and two HOA layers), and Avian at Grayhawk (1,820 to 2,455 sq ft, behind the Raptor guard gate). This page does not publish a gate type for Encore. Confirm access, guest entry, and what each association maintains in the resale documents for the home.

Encore sits between Renaissance and Avante in north-central Grayhawk. Part of the community fronts the Talon Course, and some homes near the north end overlook the 18th green and lake. The Park and The Retreat are the two sides of daily life in the wider community; the Living in Grayhawk guide describes that split. Encore itself is an attached enclave, not a detached estate lot.

HOA due-diligence checklist

Amounts are not the same for every Encore home, and this page does not publish a fee. Read both association layers in that home's resale package before you offer.

The HOA resale package guide and the second-home carrying-cost checklist show how to read those documents. A weekend visit can follow the winter tour plan. Price the plan from Encore sales, not the ZIP code: why 85255 comps can mislead. Talon frontage is a separate question from the building itself; see what appraisers will back on golf frontage and what buyers discount before they offer.

Location: Talon Course, Isabella's Kitchen and North Scottsdale

Encore sits between Renaissance and Avante in the north-central part of Grayhawk. This area is quieter than the villages closer to the golf clubhouse, and it is still an easy walk or short cart ride to the trail system. Some homes near the north end overlook the Talon 18th green and lake, a relatively rare water view in Grayhawk. The community is next to Isabella's Kitchen, giving owners convenient access to one of the area's most popular indoor-outdoor dining spots. Buyers who want a specific floor plan sometimes wait for that layout, because a smaller enclave means the right plan is not always on the market.

Encore vs Cachet, Tesoro and Avian

Shoppers comparing attached homes in Grayhawk usually look at Encore next to Cachet at Grayhawk, Tesoro, and Avian at Grayhawk. Encore, Cachet at Grayhawk, and Tesoro were built by Cachet Homes, but Encore uses different floor plans. Cachet at Grayhawk and Tesoro share the same core plans. Avian at Grayhawk is a separate townhome community with six floor plans, 1,820 to 2,455 sq ft, behind the Raptor guard gate. The table lines up builder, plan count, size, gate, and HOA layers using only those established details.
