Head into Fountain Hills, Arizona real estate, and you’ll see exactly what a master-planned community is supposed to look like. This beautiful community can be found on the eastern slope of the McDowell Mountains, separated from Scottsdale by only a short drive. The area features a wealth of spectacular views, amazing estates, ready-to-build home sites, and many custom homes.
Fountain Hills was actually started back in 1970, with the idea that it was possible to create the perfect community. The designers of the city took to heart the landscape that they had to work with and created a community that offers a number of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. If you enjoy the outdoors you can find biking, hiking, and horseback riding trails, not to mention championship golf courses. Those who wish to relax in the gorgeous outdoor mountain air can shop, take a day trip into the White Mountains, head to the Grand Canyon, or simply sit by the pool relaxing.
As befits the community’s name, water is definitely something that Fountain Hills has plenty of. At the top of every hour, for around fifteen minutes, one of the world’s tallest fountains sprays water around 300 feet high. This man-made fountain is the focal point of many community activities, and a large number of homes boast dazzling views of this amazing fountain. It is also in this area that you can find a number of publically displayed artwork, making the natural beauty of the area even more refined and wonderful.
This incredible city was designed by Charles Wood, Jr. Mr. Wood actually was one of the main designers of Disneyland in Anaheim, California. That may be why the city is so warm and welcoming and is enjoyed by so very many people.
