The beauty of Fountain Hills, Rio Verde, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley is the first thing its residents and visitors experience.The friendly people, the stunning Sonoran Desert, and the lovely community create the beauty of this place we call home.

Fountain Hills has had its share of accolades. We have been named one of the "10 Great Places to Raise a Family in the U.S." and have been recognized as "The Best Place to Live in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area." We also have been listed as "The Best Affordable Suburb" in Arizona. These honors make us proud, and we continually strive to make our community an even better place to live.

There is so much to see and do in and around Fountain Hills. The town is situated in one of the loveliest spots in the Sonoran Desert. We have taken care to create an environment that honors nature and provides our residents with a comfortable space in which to live, work, enjoy the outdoors, experience art and music, and know each other. We can boast a beautiful, safe, and clean environment. I hear again and again how impressed people are with the community, and about our friendly and welcoming residents.

We are near the Verde and Salt Rivers, McDowell Mountain Regional Park, Saguaro Lake, Tonto National Forest and metropolitan Phoenix. We are within easy driving distance to the cooler climate of the Mogollon Rim and the White Mountains. Our neighbors in the Fort McDowell Yavapai Community and the Verdes add to the texture of our town, bringing diverse culture, history and perspective to the area.
