CAVE CREEK / CAREFREE

Cave Creek & Carefree Luxury Homes & Neighborhoods

Some of the most spectacular sights of the desert await you just a short drive north of Phoenix and Scottsdale. When you feel like leaving the tall buildings and hustle and bustle behind, the places to go for some relaxing fun are the Towns of Carefree and Cave Creek. Located in the foothills north of Phoenix, Cave Creek and Carefree Arizona are adjacent towns with a unique natural environment in common but contrasting personalities. The air is cooler and cleaner than in the city and the location is ideal for day trips south to Phoenix or north to Sedona, Prescott, Jerome, and Flagstaff. With so much going for them, it’s hardly surprising that these sister communities have been capturing the hearts and imaginations of countless visitors for well over a century.

In Cave Creek you’ll find the Wild West still alive.  In Frontier Town and in the authentic rough and tumble saloons from the 1930’s, such as Harold’s, where you are likely to see motorcycles parked next to the horse someone rode in on. A wide range of restaurants from fine dining to cowboy cookouts find a peaceful coexistence there. The restaurants line Cave Creek’s main road along with fun western stores, art galleries and specialty shops like those in the new Stagecoach Village shopping and dining district. Hiking, biking and horseback riding through natural Sonoran Desert terrain are also inviting Cave Creek activities. The lovely Rancho Manana resort, with its acclaimed golf course, spa, and restaurant, top off Cave Creek’s amenities.

Carefree has a reputation for its beauty. The unique rock outcroppings and boulders that are visible for miles and its recreational amenities — including its upscale resorts with gorgeous golf courses, tennis and spa facilities and shopping. Downtown Carefree has quaint shops and boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and a small amphitheater that hosts the farmer’s market and cultural events, and it’s not far from the lovely El Pedregal shops. In the center of town you’ll see the largest sundial in the country. Overall, Carefree is characterized by its charming small town feel and quaint street names like Ho Hum Road, Tranquil Trail and Easy Street.

Both towns offer a choice of several world-class golf courses, situated among some of the most beautiful desert landscapes you will ever see. Public courses include the beautiful Rancho Manana Golf Club, boasting some of the state’s most breathtaking views, along with Dove Valley Ranch and Legend Trails Golf Club. Private courses feature the popular Tatum Ranch Golf Club and other well-known spectacular places such as Desert Forest Golf Club, and The Boulders.
