A Quiet Village Northeast of Scottsdale & Phoenix

Drive through a mountain pass just east of Scottsdale and Phoenix on Shea Boulevard and you'll discover quiet tranquility, fresh crisp air and gorgeous landscape. This is Fountain Hills AZ which has been named one of the best places in America to raise a family.

Fountain Hills is small-town America with a population of about 23,000 (2005) lucky residents but yet is just a hop and a skip from the big city hustle-bustle of Metropolitan Phoenix AZ. Fountain Hills will always maintain its small town flavor since it is essentially landlocked by Scottsdale to the west and the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation and National Forest to the east.
World's Tallest Fountain

Situated on the eastern slope of the McDowell Mountains, Fountain Hills sets about 500 feet above Phoenix featuring 360 degrees of panoramic views. This majestic mountain range separates Fountain Hills from Scottsdale, Phoenix and the rest of the Valley of the Sun.

Fountain Hills is an upscale community with hometown character. The richness and quality of life here is immediately evident. Its most valuable assest is its serene beauty. The views are amazing and you'll discover a wealth of outdoor recreation including golf, hiking, biking, fishing, water-skiing, river-tubing and boating. Both the Verde River and Salt River are nearby with Saguaro Lake and Canyon Lake within a short drive.

Fountain Hills History.

Fountain Hills was just a vision in 1960 when Robert P. McCulloch purchased 4,500 acres of land northeast of Scottsdale. McCulloch was also the master-mind behind Lake Havasu City Arizona on the Colorado River. Fountain Hills land was originally part of a large cattle ranch. In 1971, McCulloch bought an additional 12,000 acres and Fountain Hills was officially incorporated in 1989. Today Fountain Hills is one of the hottest real estate markets in Arizona.
