Homes and Lots in North Peak Hills

North Peak Hills is mainly a site-built neighborhood with newer homes and scenic lots. You won’t find manufactured homes here. The neighborhood is dedicated to high-quality, site-built residences, many of which were completed in the early 2020s.

The neighborhood includes newer homes, many with single-level or ranch-style designs, attached garages, covered patios or porches, and mountain-style exterior details.
Many lots are approximately 0.18 to 0.21 acres, although lot sizes vary and should be verified by parcel, plat, and MLS data.

Because North Peak Hills includes both improved homes and lot activity, buyers should evaluate each property individually. You must know about the slope, grading, drainage, utility connection costs, sewer/grinder pump requirements, CC&Rs, public reports, building restrictions, and current lot availability.

Dennis Riccio, the most trusted North Peak Hills real estate agent, helps buyers understand the small details that can impact long-term value, usability, and future building plans there.

The North Peak Hills Neighborhood Layout

North Peak Hills is a community in progress, which means there are different opportunities depending on where you look.

North Peak Hills Phase 1

This is the most established portion of North Peak Hills and is mostly built out.

Phase 1 includes homes and lots along W Wagon Trail and N Wagon Trail Court.
When you drive through Phase 1, you’ll see beautiful, finished homes and established landscaping.
Some of these lucky homeowners even have backyards that border the National Forest.
Many of the homes are newer site-built homes with a mountain-town design influence, garage space, and outdoor living features.

North Peak Hills Phase 2

Located around North Peak Loop, this section offers a mix of newly finished homes and vacant lots ready for your custom build. Phase 2 is still developing. Some areas include completed homes, while others include vacant or buildable lots.

Some lots include utility access nearby, but buyers should still verify all details. Because Phase 2 is located near Payson Airport, some properties may occasionally experience aircraft noise.

Before purchasing a home or lot, it’s important to review current property details, building requirements, and development information carefully. Dennis Riccio helps buyers understand these local details clearly, so there are fewer surprises during the buying or building process.

What About Phase 3?

You might hear whispers about a “Phase 3.” Currently, this area is in the planning stages with the Town of Payson. It’s not a finished part of the neighborhood yet, so if a developer tells you otherwise, it’s worth double-checking the latest zoning extensions.

If you have questions about future growth, nearby lots, or upcoming opportunities, Dennis Riccio can help you better understand the current market and neighborhood activity.

Dennis Riccio Suggests - Buying and Selling Tips in The Knolls

Verify lot boundaries and recorded plat details.
Take a look at architectural restrictions.
Confirm utility availability and connection costs.
Drainage and hillside grading requirements
Public report disclosures.
Confirm Airport noise disclosures.
Any future development plans nearby.

Tips for Selling Property in The North Peak Hills

Selling a home or lot in North Peak Hills requires more than simply listing square footage and bedroom counts. That means strong marketing should highlight:

Mountain and town views from the property
Newer site-built construction
Garage space and outdoor living features
Single-level or mountain-style design
No HOA, if applicable to the specific property
Location within the Payson Northwest area
Access to Payson amenities
Neighborhood identity and future growth potential
Lot size, slope, orientation, and view corridor
Proximity to natural terrain and Rim Country recreation

FAQ’S

Is North Peak Hills a gated community?

No. North Peak Hills is not a gated community. Many buyers actually prefer the neighborhood because it has a more open and welcoming residential feel without gates or country club restrictions. The area still feels quiet and private while allowing easy access to the rest of Payson and daily amenities.

If you want to learn more about the neighborhood layout, nearby amenities, or current North Peak Hills homes for sale, Dennis Riccio can help you better understand the area and available properties.

Are manufactured homes allowed in North Peak Hills?

No. Manufactured homes are generally not permitted in the North Peak Hills for good. This helps maintain the neighborhood’s overall appearance, property values, and long-term appeal.

Many buyers are drawn to the area because of its newer homes, mountain-style designs, and more consistent neighborhood feel. Dennis Riccio can help verify current building restrictions, lot details, and property requirements before you move forward with a purchase.

Is there an HOA in North Peak Hills?

Many properties in North Peak Hills do not have a traditional HOA fee, which is a big advantage for some buyers. However, some lots may still have recorded CC&Rs, architectural guidelines, or building restrictions that should be reviewed carefully.

As some areas in North Peak Hills are still under development, you must learn about the latest property details, utility requirements, and any recorded restrictions before purchasing a home or lot in North Peak Hills. If you're not sure, Dennis Riccio can help review these details clearly so there are fewer surprises during the buying process.

How far is North Peak Hills from downtown Payson?

North Peak Hills is roughly 2-3 miles from the center of town. That means you can easily reach the grocery stores, restaurants, coffee shops, medical services, parks, and local events within minutes.

One of the reasons buyers like the neighborhood is that it feels elevated and peaceful without being isolated from town. You can enjoy mountain views and quieter surroundings while still having everyday conveniences nearby. Dennis Riccio can also help you compare North Peak Hills with other Payson neighborhoods based on commute times, views, lifestyle, and property types.

Are there buildable lots in North Peak Hills?

Yes. North Peak Hills has included buildable residential lots at different times. You'll find lots for custom homes and possible lot/home packages depending on current availability. Because inventory changes often, buyers should always verify active listings, ownership details, utility access, and building requirements before purchasing.

Dennis Riccio helps buyers review these details carefully so they can make informed decisions without the chance of any unexpected issues later.

Who should I contact about buying or selling in North Peak Hills?

Contact Dennis Riccio, Realtor in Payson and Rim Country, for current North Peak Hills homes, lots, market activity, and neighborhood comparisons. Choosing a local expert is important because mountain real estate has "moving parts" that city properties don't, like hillside drainage, specific utility requirements, and exploring different development phases.

Plus, with his legal (J.D.) and business (MBA) background, he provides a level of knowledge and negotiation skill that ensures your investment is protected from the first tour to the final closing.
