Tatum Ranch is a master-planned community that includes 3,418 homes, Terra Vista Condominiums, Azure Creek Apartments, and five commercial sites in the northeast corner of Phoenix, where North Tatum Boulevard and Cave Creek Road meet.

The Ranch is within the Upland Sonoran Desert life zone, with seven washes or arroyos, trending northeast to southwest. Tatum Ranch residents enjoy the quiet beauty and serenity of the Sonoran Desert that is home to some of the most beautiful native vegetation and wildlife in the entire Southwest.

The elevation is about 1,800 feet. Because of its distance from the center of the metropolitan area (22 air miles) and its proximity to the New River Mountains to the north, the summer temperatures are usually 5 to 10 degrees cooler than recorded at Sky Harbor Airport, and the night sky is dark.

The small town of Cave Creek, Arizona is just six miles to the north of 101. The Ranch is within the City of Phoenix and the Cave Creek Unified School District. However, the mailing addresses are in Cave Creek Postal system. The Ranch is five miles north of the 101 Freeway, and 35 miles north of Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. The Carefree Highway, the quickest approach to Interstate 17, is 3 miles north.

The Ranch was created and developed by SunCor Development Company beginning in 1988. Homes in 30 neighborhoods were built by a wide range of well-known builders. All the lots in Tatum Ranch were built out as of December 2001. Three neighborhoods are gated. The community benefits from the 410-foot wide Cave Creek Road scenic highway corridor that keeps the roadsides in natural desert plants and shrubs.

The arterial streets within the Ranch have desert landscaping in their median strips. Land immediately to the north, east, and south of the Ranch is occupied with residential lots one acre or more. Land to the west of the Ranch is State Trust Land, with a portion dedicated as Sonoran Preserve.
