| Fountain Hills
Fountain Hills was established in 1970, based on
design plans drawn up by Charles Wood, Jr., the man
credited with designing Disneyland. It has been named
one of the Fifty Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family.
Its centerpiece and claim to fame is as the home of
the world's tallest man-made fountain, with water
shooting 560 feet into the air, creating a geyser
five feet taller than the Washington Monument! The
park and lake surrounding the fountain is a popular
place to spend the day with the family, picnicking
and feeding the ducks.
Fountain Hills Real Estate
Fountain Hills is 11,340 acres in size. Located in
the McDowell Mountains, thirty miles northeast and
several hundred feet above downtown Phoenix, temperatures
here are slightly cooler. McDowell Mountain Regional
Park, adjacent to Fountain Hills' northern border,
and one of the largest parks in Maricopa County, offers
excellent hiking, sightseeing and camping for outdoor
enthusiasts of all ages.
The 22,000 plus population here is a mix of wealthy
and middle class, with condo prices beginning at about
$70,000 to single family estates valued at over one
million dollars and beyond. The average price for
a single family home here is $240,000. Two large master
planned communities in Fountain Hills include the
950 acre SunRidge Canyon and the 500 acre community
of Eagle Mountain. Both feature scenic golf courses
and recreational facilities as well as custom homes.
The new Firerock Country Club and Copperwynd Tennis
and Health Resort both offer condos, single family
and custom homes.
Fountain Hills just might be a fabulous place
to raise your family.
