FireRock, Eagle Mountain, SunRidge Canyon, Fountain Park and the areas around them rent to different people at different prices. Which community you own in decides the return — here is how we read them.
A guard-gated golf community south of Shea Boulevard near the Scottsdale line, with custom home sites, townhome enclaves and the private FireRock Country Club course threading through the desert. Rents are at the top of the Fountain Hills range, and furnished winter leases are common.
Golf-course living around the Eagle Mountain Golf Club off Shea Boulevard, with views back across the Valley, a mix of custom and semi-custom homes, and an association that keeps the community to a high standard. Demand is steady for the view at less than a North Scottsdale price.
The north end of town, built around the SunRidge Canyon course with hillside lots and newer construction than the town center. Well kept, with McDowell Mountain Regional Park just to the north.
The original center of town: the lake, the fountain, the Avenue of the Fountains with its restaurants and events, and the established neighborhoods around them. Condos and townhomes here are the most affordable entry point in Fountain Hills and rent to people who want to walk to everything.
North along the river, Rio Verde and Tonto Verde are golf communities with a largely seasonal population, and the Verde River and Saguaro Lake are the weekend. Remote-owner territory, where a manager who checks on an empty home is the whole point.
West over Shea Boulevard is Scottsdale, from the Shea corridor north to McDowell Mountain Ranch and the rest of North Scottsdale. Many Fountain Hills owners hold in both, and we manage across the line so a growing portfolio stays with one company.
