World's Tallest Fountain at 560 feet high - the centerpiece of
Fountain Hills, the world famous water fountain, rises into the
air 10 feet higher than the Washington Monument when
operating at full force. The fountain sits in the middle of a lake
surrounded by a 32-acre park at the eastern end of the
Avenue of the Fountains.
Fountain Hills Arizona could be described as an upscale community with hometown character. The richness and quality of life here is evident the moment you crest the mountain pass, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Scottsdale and the rest of the valley. Visitors find themselves letting out a big sigh of relief as they watch the chaos of the big city fade away into the distance in their rear view mirrors, as they enter Fountain Hills Real Estate.
The community of Fountain Hills is situated in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, which separate it from Scottsdale to the west. Formerly part of one of the largest cattle ranches in the state, this town of 25,000 is now home to such well-known golf communities as Eagle Mountain and FireRock.
The natural terrain of Fountain Hills Arizona real estate also provides for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, boating, and some of the more challenging and picturesque golf courses you will find in the country.
Because Fountain Hills Real Estate is set amidst mountains and hills, a number of the homes are built on ridges, at elevations that range from 1,500 feet above sea level to over 3,000 feet above sea level. Fountain Hills was incorporated in December of 1989.
There is a mix of moderate-size, single-family housing, condominiums and larger custom homes. That means a wide range in home prices, starting in the $100,000s and going up to more than $5 million. Buyers will also find a variety of architectural home styles to choose from including Santa Fe, Mediterranean, Tuscan and Modern.
Fountain Hills accommodates a variety of life style preferences with gated subdivisions, golf course homes, its own school district and four parks that provide recreational options for residents of all ages. Fountain Park, largest of the four parks, covers 64 acres and includes a 28-acre lake, as well as the famous fountain that shoots a column of water some 600 feet in the air. Lighted soccer fields, tennis courts and basketball courts can be found at Four Peaks Neighborhood Park. Desert Vista Neighborhood Park features areas for dogs.
Fountain Hills has three public golf courses, plus the private Fire Rock Country Club, which is part of the Fire Rock gated community.
While the Fountain Hills Real Estate is set apart from the more fast-paced urban environment, it is just a short distance from the Loop 101 freeway, which gives residents easy access to the entire Metro area.
And it’s no wonder considering that Charles Wood Jr., Disney World designer, helped to develop both. At the center of Fountain Hill’s beauty, stands the world’s tallest man-made water fountain that shoots 560 feet into the Fountain Hills sky. The fountain is viewable from nearly every Fountain Hills home. Since Fountain Hills was established in 1970, the fountain has served as a symbol of the area’s natural beauty.
Slightly sheltered by the McDowell Mountains, Fountain Hills Real Estate sits several hundred feet above The Valley of the Sun and provides better air quality and slightly cooler temperatures than Phoenix. The air and cooler temperatures, along with seven local golf courses and close proximity to Verde River or Saguaro Lake, make Fountain Hills Homes a favorite choice and best real estate buy choice among families.
Fountain Hills Real Estate has a variety of homes for sale in almost every price range. Staying true to its small town heritage, Fountain Hills real estate options include planned communities like SunRidge Canyon, FireRock Country Club, Eagle Mountain, and CopperWynd. They feature single-family and custom homes- some located right on the golf course. Mobile and modular housing are prohibited in Fountain Hills.
If you are looking for a gated community in Fountain Hills, Eagle Mountain, Firerock, Copperwynd, Cordabella, and numerous areas in Sunridge Canyon offer living in gated communities.
Come experience this special community and you'll surely fall in love (like the rest of us). The statement "Come for a day. Stay for a lifetime." holds unmistakably true for Fountain Hills Real Estate.
If you are considering buying Fountain Hills real estate, don’t wait. Fountain Hills growth is nearly impossible since The McDowell Mountains, Fort McDowell Indian Reservation and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community border it. There is very little developable land left in Fountain Hills.
