Fountain Hills Real Estate - Arizona

Fountain Hills Real Estate Arizona
                             Fountain Hills

Tucked into the McDowell Mountains at an elevation several hundred feet above Phoenix, Fountain Hills enjoys crisper air, slightly cooler temperatures and a more secluded existence than its other counterparts in Metropolitan Phoenix. It has been honored with the designation as one of the Fifty Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family in a book of that name. 

Fountain Hills was established in 1970 by a development company. Its design plans were drawn up by Charles Wood, Jr., the man credited with design¬ing Disneyland. Looking for a way to differentiate their city, the developers conceived the idea of having the world's tallest man¬made fountain as a centerpiece. That fountain shoots water 560 feet into the air, creating a geyser five feet taller than the Washington Monument. 

Fountain Hills is a blend of people who have earned their fortunes and those in the earlier stages of making their marks. Condominium prices begin in the $70,000 range, while single-family estates can reach $1 million and beyond. The average price for a single-family home is $240,000. Fountain Hills prohibits mobile or modular housing. 

Housing options include the 950-acre SunRidge Canyon and The Community of Eagle Mountain, 500-acres in south¬western Fountain Hills. Both planned communities feature scenic golf courses and recreational facilities and a selec¬tion of custom homes. Also newly completed are the Firerock Country Club and the CopperWynd Tennis and Health Resort, both offering condominiums, single-family and custom homes. The new community center offers convention, banquet and wedding reception facilities. 

To create more local jobs for its 22,000 plus residents, the city has mapped out an economic development strategy to attract six categories of industry: service centers, hospitality, research and development, medical support services, light manufacturing, distribution and warehousing, and retailing and consumer services. To keep the city's residential feel, guidelines call for these to be small companies, corporate offices and branch operations that employ less than 200 people. 

Tee times at the three local golf courses are in great demand. McDowell Mountain Regional Park, one of the largest parks in the Maricopa County parks system, offers excellent hiking, sightseeing and camping. The park is adjacent to Fountain Hills' northern border. 

Because it is bordered by the McDowell Mountains on the west, the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation on the east and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to the south, Fountain Hills will likely remain at its present 11,340-acre size. 

There are two annual art festivals that draw over 200,000 people.
