Fountain Hills is a small urban community on the northeast ourskirts of the Phoenix, AZ metropolitan area. The town is very close to the reservoir lakes on the Salt River that provide boating, camping and fishing activities.

Family Friendly Fountain Hills - 7/1/2008

The town of Fountain Hills (population approx. 25,000) is situated northeast of Phoenix, just east of Scottsdale and north of Mesa, in the McDowell Mountain foothills. It is close to Lake Saguaro and Route 87, which is quick access for weekend trips out of the metropolitan area up to the mountains. There is no city property tax, yet there are many amenities through the Parks and Recreation Dept. for individuals of all ages. Temperatures are typically a few degrees cooler than the Phoenix metro area, and the atmosphere is casual and friendly.[read more...]
