Cave Creek – Carefree, AZ

On Scottsdale’s northeastern edge, the communities of Cave Creek and Carefree display the best of tasteful desert-living lifestyles. The area is in the foothills, sitting above Scottsdale and Phoenix, making an enormous difference in temperature as well as scenery. Large cacti of all descriptions, flowering desert trees, and gnarled shrubbery surround well-tended homes.  Mountains loom in the background, and the air is pristine.  Doesn’t that sound like the kind of lifestyle you could get used to in a hurry?

Experience the True Arizona in Cave Creek with eclectic shopping, art galleries and the unrivaled beauty of the Sonoran Desert. More than 30 restaurants to choose from, everything from fine dining to cowboy cook-outs. Horseback riding, rodeos, country and western dancing, museums, parks and nature preserves, hiking and biking and old mining tours.

In close proximity to these two wonderful towns are close to 40 miles of city-maintained multi-use paths where residents may ride bikes, jog, hike, take animals for walks and even stroll leisurely!  For anyone interested in continuing education, the Paradise Valley Community College is close by with interesting classes in just about anything you might imagine.
