Map of Fountain Hills

Fountain Hills is one of the last great destinations in the Valley with unsurpassed desert beauty.  The quality of life in this upscale community is evident as you leave behind the hustle and bustle of Scottsdale and the rest of the valley.  Fountain Hills is bordered on all four sides by open desert terrain. To the North lies the popular McDowell Mountain Regional Park. To the South is the Salt River Pima Indian Reservation. To the East, the Fort McDowell Indian Community, Verde River and Tonto National Forest. To the west the majestic McDowell Mountain Range which separates Fountain Hills from the rest of the Valley of the Sun. These boundaries keep the community from mass expansion and help give Fountain Hills the special hometown feel that residents most appreciate. 

The area offers some of the best opportunities to experience the Sonoran Desert available in the Southwest. The natural terrain provides for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, Hummer tours, biking, or boating/water sports at Saguaro Lake.  Several fine resorts and hotels are featured where you can relax poolside as soak in the beauty and peaceful atmosphere.  Play a round of golf on one of seven local golf courses offering some of the most scenic and challenging golf in the Valley.

T he Centerpiece and landmark of Fountain Hills is "the Fountain".  At 560 feet, it is one of the "World's Highest Fountains". It is more than 3 times as high as Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone Park. The Fountain is a sight to enjoy from almost every vantage point in Fountain Hills. It was conceived as a dramatic man-made attraction to accentuate the natural beauty of the surrounding desert hills and mountains. It is also symbolic of the spirit and enterprise of the people who live in this sunny, southwest region...the same spirit and enterprise that is making Fountain Hills an outstanding community for good living today and tomorrow.  The Fountain utilizes re-circulated and reclaimed water from the 28-acre lake at its base, water which is also used to irrigate the surrounding park. At its present schedule of operation, the annual water evaporation factor is less than the amount required to irrigate an acre of cotton in a year.   The Fountain operates 15 times a day, as weather and wind velocity permit, on a schedule of 10 minutes operation every hour on the hour between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. seven days a week.

A peaceful hometown community of 25,000, Fountain Hills was the eighth fastest-growing place among all cities and towns in Arizona between 1990 and 2000. In contrast to adjacent Scottsdale, homes in Fountain Hills are widely spaced, in a more rural setting.  And though it seems like another world, it is just a short 25 minute drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
