Fountain Hills is a unique, small town community with rolling foothills terrain, natural desert vegetation that is home to a variety of wildlife, more open spaces and magnificent mountain views. This desirable place to live is surrounded by State land, the Fort McDowell Indian Community and Scottsdale. The town is approx. 30 miles from the center of Phoenix and can easily be accessed due to the development of several freeways.

Even though the modern history of Fountain Hills dates back just a few decades, the area that includes Fountain Hills, Fort McDowell Indian Community, Rio Verde, Tonto Verde and the surrounding magnificent mountain ranges weave a rich and colorful tapestry of history that includes Native American migrations, mining tales, trappers, gun battles, and wagon trails. 

Our world famous fountain has been a popular attraction for more than 30 years. The Fountain and park surrounding the fountain (approx. 30 acres) are located in the heart of the community. The estimated height of the fountain water when it is running is 330 feet.

Although many seniors first moved here because of the climate and lower prices, a major building boom occurred in the mid-1980’s bringing an influx of younger families to Fountain Hills. In 1997, “Parenting Magazine” in a special 10^th anniversary issue named Fountain Hills as one of the 10 “great” places to raise families throughout the entire United Sates.  Many people continue to seek out Fountain Hills due to low crime, better air quality, favorable property appreciation, quality schools and a small town atmosphere.

Newer planned community housing developments as FireRock Country Club, Eagle Mountain, SunRidge Canyon, Eagle Ridge, Rio Verde and Tonto Verde have provided many choices for housing with gorgeous views. Many of the resale homes offer a variety in types of homes and construction.

We are very proud of our new Community Center, Library and our Community Theatre.  There are now four 18-hole golf courses in town.  Four parks offer a diversity for sports, hiking, picnicking and pleasure.
