The place
A planned town inside Phoenix
Desert Ridge is not a separate city, although it was laid out like one. It covers about 5,700 acres of northeast Phoenix, and it was planned from scratch under the Desert Ridge Specific Plan, which the City of Phoenix adopted in 1991. The land came through a partnership between the State of Arizona, the city and a master developer, which is why homes, a hospital campus, a regional mall, a resort and corporate offices all sit inside one boundary.
That mix shapes where a windshield gets replaced here. A Desert Ridge household might need the job done in a garage on a quiet residential loop one day and in a parking structure at work the next. Both are fine with us. They just need different planning, and this page covers each.
How it filled in
Desert Ridge, year by year
The landmarks most people use for directions here are all younger than the plan. Their opening years, as published:
| Year | What opened |
|---|---|
| 1991 | The Desert Ridge Specific Plan is adopted by the City of Phoenix |
| 1996 | The first homes are sold |
| 1998 | Mayo Clinic Hospital opens on a 210-acre campus |
| 2001 | Desert Ridge Marketplace opens in December, off Loop 101 and Tatum Boulevard |
| 2002 | Loop 101 opens to the east; the American Express regional campus and the JW Marriott resort open |
| 2008 | CityNorth's first phase, High Street, opens in November |
| 2010 | The Musical Instrument Museum opens |
| 2015 | The 64th Street interchange on Loop 101 opens in May, seven years after it was built |
| 2016 | SR 51 is extended past the 101 to Black Mountain Boulevard |
Nearly 4,000 homes were in place by the time the Marketplace and the hospital were running. Use the landmarks to tell us where to meet you; none of them is a partner of ours.
Getting there
Where SR 51 meets the 101
SR 51, the Piestewa Freeway
Climbs over Dreamy Draw between Piestewa Peak and North Mountain and ends at a three-way interchange with Loop 101 beside Desert Ridge. Since 2016 the road carries on north of the 101 to Black Mountain Boulevard.
Loop 101, the Pima Freeway
Runs east through Desert Ridge with the Marketplace on its north side and the Mayo campus on its south, then bends south into Scottsdale along Pima Road. The stretch from I-17 to Pima Road gained a fourth lane each way between 2019 and 2022.
Tatum Boulevard and 64th Street
Two of the Loop 101 exits through Desert Ridge. Tatum is the Marketplace exit. The 64th Street interchange was built in 2008 with the rest of the freeway but only opened to traffic in May 2015.
HOV ramps
Direct carpool ramps link the eastbound 101 and the southbound 51, so commuters to central Phoenix often never touch a surface street.
Fast, wide freeways throw stones like any other. If one hits your glass on the 51 or the 101, note the direction, the nearest exit and the time, and text us a photo.
Installs at work
Campus garages and resort lots
A lot of Desert Ridge parking belongs to large employers, the medical campus and hotels. A windshield can be replaced in many of those spaces if the property allows it.
- Campus security decides whether outside vendors may work in a structure, and where they sign in. Ask them before you book.
- Tell us the garage level and the clearance sign at the entrance. Most installs need enough height to open the doors fully and lift the glass.
- A spot on the end of a row, or one with an empty space beside it, gives the technician room on both sides.
- A covered level is better than the open roof deck from May to September. Glass and urethane behave best out of direct sun.
- Visiting the medical campus for an appointment? We would rather meet you at home or at work on another day than in a patient lot.
- Hotels and the resort control their own lots. If you are a guest, ask the front desk before booking an install there.
If one lot says no, a driveway at home or another lot that says yes works equally well.
At home
Residential streets and condo lots
Most of Desert Ridge's homes sit in planned neighbourhoods with their own associations, and some have gated entrances. Pass along the code or call-box listing, and any vendor notice your association has mailed out. A driveway or an open garage keeps the work off the street, which some associations prefer.
Condo and apartment communities near the Marketplace and CityNorth usually have assigned or covered spaces. Tell us the building and space number, and whether a guest pass is needed to enter.
ZIP codes
The Desert Ridge ZIP codes
Three Phoenix ZIP codes cover Desert Ridge and the streets around it. Going by the Census Bureau's 2020 ZIP tables, 85050 centres just north of the 101 and east of the 51, 85054 lies further east toward the Scottsdale line, and 85024 reaches north toward Jomax Road. We drive to all three.
ZIP lines do not follow the master plan's boundary exactly, so give us the full address or the cross streets when you book. Inside a large campus or a gated loop, the building name or lot letter saves the most time.

Desert Ridge questions
Ask us on our Phoenix line, (602) 782-5144, or by text at (877) 350-5962.
Is Desert Ridge in Phoenix or Scottsdale?
Phoenix. Desert Ridge is a master-planned community inside the city of Phoenix. Scottsdale begins to the east, where Loop 101 bends south along Pima Road.
Can you replace my windshield in my office parking garage?
Often, yes, when the property allows vendor work and the level has enough clearance to open the doors and lift the glass. Check with building security first and tell us the level when you book.
My car has a lane camera. Can it be calibrated at work?
Often it can. When a new windshield means the forward camera has to be recalibrated, that is part of the job and is done in the same visit if the procedure can be carried out on site; a few vehicles need a different setup, and you hear about that before you book. A level spot on a garage floor helps.
It's July. Can I get an early slot before my driveway heats up?
Ask for one when you book. Same-day appointments are available in most areas, depending on the glass your car takes, but no hour on a given day is guaranteed. From May to September a garage with the door up or a covered level matters more than the clock, because glass and urethane behave best out of direct sun.
