The Northeast Valley is showcased by its amazing mountains that edge most of this area. To the north is the Black Mountain Summit Preserve. This towering mountain virtually divides the two towns of Carefree and Cave Creek, with Carefree to the east and Cave Creek to the west. To the northeast the McDowell Mountains separate the city of Scottsdale on the east with the town of Fountain Hills sitting above. The McDowell Mountain Regional Park covers 21,000 acres. Visitors to McDowell Mountain Regional Park can choose among nearly 50 miles of trails.
There is however, one mountain in the Northeast Valley that stands above all others. Camelback Mountain, in the southwestern section by Scottsdale, provides amazing views whether you are on or off the mountain. There are sheer red rock cliffs that rise in certain places up to 200 feet high. Spotting the camel (the mountain’s namesake) sitting on the ground resting, with its head facing west can best be seen either on the north or south sides of the mountain. Another popular rock formation can also be found at the western edge of Camelback Mountain. It is a “Praying Monk” kneeling on the mountainside. Camelback Mountain’s rich deep red color is magnified during sunset making this mountain one of the most notable in the Valley of the Sun.
This area has so much to offer its visitors and residents. With over 300 days of sunshine in the Valley of the Sun, outdoor fun is part of life in the Northeast Valley. Both Bartlett Lake and Saguaro Lake are not far from any point within the area. These lakes provide water skiing, jet skiing, and boating opportunities all year round. If a lazy trip down a river is more your style, then head out to either the Salt River or Verde River. These rivers offer tube rides, especially during the warm summer months. There are so many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors when you live in the Northeast Valley.

Here, visitors will find the world’s tallest, continually flowing fountain. The fountain shoots a spray of water into the air, at a distance of over 550 feet, approximately every 15 minutes. This geyser of water shoots five feet taller than the Washington Monument. The early developers chose the fountain to differentiate the town from others. The fountain continues to bring people to this area each year.
Its small town friendly atmosphere draws many to Fountain Hills. The annual Great Fair in February and Fountain Festival of the Arts and Crafts in November make Fountain Hills the ideal hometown. The town is a blend of individuals who have earned their fortunes, to those who are just setting out to earn theirs. Today, many retirees and families select Fountain Hills as their home.

Cave Creek History
The town of Cave Creek began back in 1874, with William Rowe. Rowe was a miner, who discovered gold on Gold Hill, just northeast of what is now the town of Cave Creek. Soon, the Cave Creek Mistress Mine came into being.
You can still visit the Cave Creek Mistress Mine today. However, the mine is now called the Cave Creek Mistress Gold Mine and Rock Shop. The mine’s address is 45402 North Seven Springs Road. It is located about 10 miles from the intersection of Tom Darlington Road and Cave Creek Road. Visitors will be able to see what a gold mine looked like long ago.
Cave Creek Entertainment
From the town’s early beginnings, Cave Creek has never lost its old west friendly feeling. Today, rustic shops, western boutiques, Native American arts and crafts, horse back riding ranches, restaurants, and cowboy bars make up a majority of Cave Creek Road.
Cave Creek Road is the main thoroughfare through the town of Cave Creek. The road begins in Phoenix and travels along the desert valley floor approximately 15 miles north up into Cave Creek. Then the road then meanders through town and winds its way eastward through the town of Carefree and continues on into Scottsdale.
Cave Creek Outdoor Recreation
Cave Creek’s ideal location, in the northern most edge of the Northeast Valley, makes it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Both Bartlett Lake and the Verde River are within a stones throw away. This makes it easy to dip into the cool water for tubing, waterskiing, jet skiing, or water fun. Hiking and horseback riding are other popular outdoor activities. Trails are sprinkled all over the surrounding area for both hikers and horses to wander. Cave Creek is a great place to spend time outside.
Both residents and visitors to Cave Creek have found that this desert community offers spectacular views and a variety of native plants and wildlife. The Tonto National Forest borders the town to north and the east. Black Mountain towers over the town on the east, separating it from its sister town of Carefree. Cave Creek is special. There are tall stately saguaros and mountains that encircle the town. The community blends its old west history with its small town charm in such a way that many have decided not to leave and instead make Cave Creek their home.

Many Benefits of Golf Course Living
Seeing a rich green carpet of grass set against a desert saguaro dotted mountain background is a sight that many Phoenix area residents enjoy every day. Living on a golf course in Phoenix has so many benefits.
Of course, one of the most exciting aspects of golf course living is the view. Whether you are comfortably seated inside your home or relaxing in your backyard, the view from the back of the property is spectacular.
Spending time gazing at nature will allow you to experience a relaxed feeling. Owning a golf course home is a chance for you to share in nature’s beauty.
Golf course properties are unique. Most homes sit side by side and back to back, confining your space and view. These homes bind you and your view to your own fence edge.
Click here to begin your search of Phoenix area golf course properties. You will find the right property that will suit your needs.
Living on a golf course provides expansive views and breathtaking sights of nature. Lush rolling green fairways edged by cactus sprinkled hilltops give way to dazzling displays of light throughout the day. From the gradual morning glow of the sun rising in the east, to the slow descent of sun giving way to a colorful sunset in the west, the sky’s backdrop is ever changing.
Many types of wildlife also enjoy this environment. On days when golfers haven’thit the course, wildlife will venture out to explore. Desert birds, such as the cactus wren, are seen making nests inside saguaro cactus for protection. Roadrunners can be spotted darting across a sand bunker leaving their delicate tracks behind. A quick glimpse of a white tailed jackrabbit crisscrossing the putting greens to confuse others, who might be trying to follow is a sight to remember. For those who have a good eye, noticing a covey of quail teetering along in straight line down to the lake’s edge for a cool drink is a real treat. Living on a golf course is an opportunity of a lifetime for those who appreciate and want to observe Arizona wildlife.
Cooler temperatures are the norm when living on a golf course. The automatic and predictive light spray of water onto the course creates a lush green grass course. This shower of water also in turn lowers the temperatures in the area. Many times, the temperature close to a golf course can be up to 8 to 9 degrees cooler than areas without a course.
these lower temperatures can often reduce energy costs and provide more opportunities for outdoor living. Residents of a golf course property often spend time outdoors, either relaxing and soaking up the outdoor environment or eating and entertaining others. There are wonderful experiences golf course property residents partake in on a regular basis.
It is time to begin your golf course property search. Click here to start identifying homes and golf courses that will meet your needs.
Real Reason for Selecting Golf Course Property
For most golf course residents, the determining factor for selecting a golf course property over any other is the home’s close proximity to a game of golf. Having the ability to walk or even take a very short drive over to the course makes living on a golf course ideal.
Living on a golf course gives residents easy access to playing a round or two of golf. Most golfers find it difficult to squeeze in a round of golf at a moments notice. However, living on a golf course property allows for more golf opportunities. Less time is spent traveling to and from the golf course and more time is given to polishing and perfecting the game.
Meeting individuals, who are interested in golf, as much as you are, is important. Sharing stories, developing golf groups, or tournaments is fun. Golf draws people together. Golf course living provides the environment for you to start experiencing life to the fullest.
Establishing lasting friendships, creating new memories, sharing nature’s beauty, and relaxing in a unique spectacular environment are just some of the reasons people chose a golf course property over any other. Many golfers have found that being just minutes away from a starting tee and taking their swing down the fairway is worth the sometimes additional cost of living on a golf course.
It is time for you to begin your search for the right golf course home for you. Begin today by clicking here.
Tee Time Tip:
Deciding whether or not to make reservations for a tee time is usually determined by how many golfers want to play. If you want to play a round by yourself, you can usually get on a course without a reservation. This is especially true, if it is during the week. However, there may be times when the course is busy. During this time, single golfers may be asked to join another group of players. Larger groups of golfers should call ahead and chose a tee time. If you compare reserving a tee time to reserving a table (at a restaurant), you will understand that giving notice of your arrival will be a benefit to you and your group.
Golf Etiquette Tips:
the following are several golf etiquette pointers that should be used whenever you play a round of golf:
Give your opponents their best opportunities to play well by waiting quietly, while they prepare to hit the ball. Don’tstand directly behind an opponent preparing to swing. It’s better to stand to the opponent’s side. Remember that putting (swings/strokes) do not begin, until all players balls are on the putting green. Once this occurs, the player with the ball farthest from the hole begins. Check with the golf course prior to showing up to play a game. Some courses require certain attire in order to play. (This may include soft spikes in your golf shoes.) Double check your golf bag before leaving your vehicle. No more than 14 golf clubs are allowed on a course.
Golf Cart vs. Walking
there are golf courses that require the use of a golf cart, in order to play a round of golf. Golfers at these courses do not have a choice. These courses include an additional fee for rental use of a golf cart. However, not every golf course requires a golf cart. Some courses allow golfers to choose their method of getting around the course. If walking is important to you, call ahead and find out if you are able to walk the course.
Benefits to Walking a Course:
Many golfers have found that walking a golf course has far more benefits compared to riding in a golf cart. The following is a list of some of the advantages to walking a game of golf:
You will receive much more exercise. Walking is good for the body and heart. Golfers who walk find that their muscles are loose and not tight. Loose muscles create better golf swings. You have more time to talk with your golf companions. This makes golf more than just a game. You are better able to appreciate and understand the golf course you are playing. As a walker, you can get a good perspective on how to approach the next hole. The biggest benefit is cost. It is much cheaper to walk compared to renting a golf cart.

Scottsdale History
The city began back in 1888, when Army Chaplin Winfield Scott arrived in the area. He began irrigating the land and later it became a small farming community. Olive trees planted by Scott, himself can still be seen today in downtown Scottsdale. The trees are located along the center of Second Street and down Civic Center Boulevard south down to Osborn. These trees were planted to create a border of his original 40 acre orange grove.
Then in 1894, Albert Utley, a Rhode Island banker, purchased some land and subdivided it into town lots. Utley name the town in honor of Winfield Scott and his early work in the community. After World War II, the area grew into a small artist’s enclave. The area did not really begin to grow and expand until 1920, when electricity became available.
