Fountain Hills, Arizona is a wonderful place to live for many reasons. Take the people, who live in the town, for instance. Most people are not originally from here. You see, the towns first homes were built in the fall of 1971 and by early 1972, the first homeowners were moving in. So, if you were born before 1972, then you had to be from somewhere else. I feel that this is one reason that the people of Fountain Hills are friendly, welcoming and eager to helpjust as they were helped when they moved here.

The town is located just east of Scottsdale, Arizona in the Northeast Valley as it is nestled in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains, on its northeast slope. Awesome views are to be had everywhere in Fountain Hills. The Sonoran desert as the backdrop along with the mountain ranges like Four Peaks and the McDowells, parks, and rivers will give you a command of a certain peacefulness that is just comforting to the soulAnd if you dont have a view where you are at, just go 10 feet ahead!

There are only three ways into the town of Fountain Hills. Being at the outskirts of Phoenix, the traffic is considerably less than the cut-through communitiesAnd there is no Auto-Mile or Restaurant-Row to add to drivers headaches. This makes it easy to get to the parks, businesses, and restaurants that are in and around town. In fact, one could probably travel anywhere in town within 15 minutes.

The towns people in general are very active, taking part in many clubs and organizations, from town development to the Kiwanis. And there are a lot of fun events in Fountain Hills. People enjoy the twice a year Arts and Crafts Festivals with as many as 500 juried exhibitors. There is Fountain Hills Community Theater that offers excellent entertainment, as does the Ballet in the Park at the outdoor amphitheater. Activities range from hiking the desert trails and biking in and around town to golf, golf, and more golf at the 5 top-shelf courses in town. Even the kids have lots to do through the excellent school system.

Lastly, what can you say about the Fountain? Well, its world-famous, shoots 560 feet into the air from the lake, has Fountain Park with a host of amenities wrapping around it, and puts young and old alike in awe!

Yes, Fountain Hills is All that is Arizona and just a great place to live!

  • Yes, Fountain Hills is a very nice place.

    I went out there yesterday and I loved the fountain it was beautiful. I sit in the back on Mountain View Coffee Company and it was like I could see a rainbow in the fountain. I might go out to the Great Fair tomorrow.

  • The Great Fair is awesome! Lots of people, though. The exhibits are Juried and on Sunday morning there will be many hot air ballons!

  • Located just 30 minutes east of Downtown Phoenix, Fountain Hills has something special to offer that most towns do not. Its natural beauty consisting of majestic purple mountains create a certain magnetic field that make you feel better. An insomniac of many years, it all stopped when I moved to Fountain Hills. I have more energy, more stamina, and a much higher life enjoyment. I am grateful to the natural wonders of Fountain Hills for making me feel great again.
