Buying a home in Carefree Arizona is something you
should be energized about. After all, Carefree real estate ranks amongst
the most scenic property in all of Arizona. Carefree homes are convenient to everything. Residing in the Upper
Sonoran Desert, it borders the town of Cave Creek and the city of
Scottsdale, as well as Maricopa County. Downtown Phoenix is
approximately a 50-minute drive by car. This gives you the best of both worlds – close proximity to a major
metropolitan area, yet with the serenity of a smaller, quieter town.
And, of course, the desert is not far either. Carefree is a relatively new Arizona town, and was incorporated in
1984 with an area of 8.5 square miles. It has approximately 40 linear
street miles.
Carefree living...literally!
Carefree Arizona is everything the name implies: a tranquil, easygoing, semi-rural small town. When you walk the streets of Carefree, you experience a quasi time shift – it captures a feeling of nostalgia, yet does so with a modern face.
State of the art homes blend perfectly with the beautiful desert environment, and range from smaller homes in the 2000 sq.foot range to exclusive custom homes on large multi-acre parcels.
Carefree’s landscapes fluctuate from breathtaking mountains to rolling hills to picturesque flat desert. In addition, the Tonto National Forest resides on it ’s north border. Sometimes merely turning your head will dramatically alter your perception of the landscape, but one thing remains constant – you’ll feel like you’re living in paradise.
The town has been intelligently planned: there is no traffic congestion, and wise zoning ensures it will stay that way. A premium has been put on your quality of life – it is truly a delight.
Even our street names reflect the type of lifestyle you can expect from Carefree: Breathless Drive, Easy Street, Happy Hollow Drive, Lazy Lane, Never Mind Trail, Peaceful Place, and Stagecoach Pass.
There are two Golf Courses: The Boulders Golf Resort and Desert Forest Golf Club (plus many more within the surrounding areas). Carefree also sports the Sky Ranch Airport (with adjacent home sites – imagine yourself walking to the hanger and taking off in your private plane!)
There are several great communities, including:
Carefree averages less than 14 inches of rain a year (less than many places get in a few storms!) This means you get sunshine, and plenty of it! How about an average of over 325 sunny days a year?
You’ll feel revitalized as Arizona’s sunshine and famous “dry heat” banishes allergies and those pesky “winter doldrums”. And when you’re ready to wind down, gorgeous sunsets give way to crisp desert nights. Sleep well.
