Sedona is filled with world-famous red rocks and spiritual energy—but there’s a charming, slightly quieter gem just a few minutes south: The Village of Oak Creek, known affectionately by locals as “VOC.”
Whether you're looking for a peaceful primary residence, a second home with views, or a smart real estate investment, more buyers are turning to VOC for its balance of beauty, lifestyle, and value.
Here’s why the Village of Oak Creek is becoming Sedona’s most desirable real estate destination.
🌄 1. Breathtaking Red Rock Views — Without the Crowds
While Uptown Sedona and West Sedona attract the bulk of tourists, VOC offers equally stunning views of Courthouse Butte, Bell Rock, and Castle Rock—without the traffic and noise.
Imagine waking up to panoramic red rock vistas from your backyard, sipping your morning coffee while the sun paints the cliffs in gold. That’s daily life in VOC.
🛍️ 2. Small-Town Charm with Big-Town Convenience
The Village is home to:
Grocery stores (Clark’s Market)
Local boutiques
Art galleries
Excellent restaurants and coffee shops
Golf courses like Oakcreek Country Club
You get the feel of a tight-knit, walkable community with everything you need close by—plus Sedona’s main hub is just 10–15 minutes away.
🧘♀️ 3. Lifestyle-First Living: Nature, Wellness & Serenity
VOC is a haven for:
Hikers (Bell Rock Pathway starts right here)
Cyclists (bike lanes and scenic loops)
Golfers (two stunning public courses)
Wellness seekers (yoga studios, spas, energy healers)
Whether you're active or just want to unwind, the slower pace and healing energy of the Village makes it easy to unplug and recharge.
💰 4. Greater Value and Investment Opportunity
While Sedona proper has some of the highest home prices in Arizona, Village of Oak Creek offers more value per square foot, often with larger lots and open space.
It’s especially attractive to:
Buyers looking for second homes
Investors interested in vacation rentals (some areas allow STRs)
Retirees or snowbirds who want lower-maintenance properties
The mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and golf course properties means there’s something for every buyer—often at a better price point than Sedona city limits.
🛣️ 5. Easy Access to Everything—But Just Far Enough Away
Located right off Highway 179, VOC offers easy access to Sedona, I-17, and Phoenix (about 1.5 hours away). Whether you're commuting, road-tripping, or catching a flight, it's all within reach—without compromising on peace and quiet.
✨ Final Thought
The Village of Oak Creek is more than a neighborhood—it’s a lifestyle choice. For those who want red rock beauty, community connection, and room to breathe, VOC offers a balanced and inspired way to live.
As someone who has lived in Sedona since 1999, I’ve helped many clients find their dream home in the Village—and I’d be honored to help you, too.
