The Charming Communities of Carefree and Cave Creek


The city of Scottsdale does have almost everything that a person needs, but there are times when it’s nice to get away from everything. Those who are looking to get away from the urban area can take a short drive and can discover the gorgeous real estate in Carefree and Cave Creek. The two towns are very different from each other but both allow residents and visitors to enjoy majestic mountain vistas and lots of saguaros.

The town of Carefree was named accurately, as the entire town has a sweet and relaxing feel to it. You can actually see the lighthearted nature of the entire town simply when you start looking at the names of the streets, which include streets like Ho and Hum and Easy Street. Large granite boulders and rock outcroppings can be viewed from all areas in the community, and many spend a great deal of time wondering about how the 12 million year old granite that can be found all around the community managed to get where it is today. In Carefree you’ll find winding pathways that go to Tuscan villas and large haciendas. You’ll also find The Boulders, which is an exclusive community that features two of the best golf courses in the area.

Cave Creek has a colorful history as a rough and tumble mining town, and an independent spirit that lives on today. Most of the homes that you’ll find in Cave Creek have a country and ranch feel and it’s common to find people riding their horses down the street. The 2.9 million acre Tonto National Forest, however, also offers a number of recreational activities for those who are not equestrian lovers to enjoy.

Though Carefree and Cave Creek are vastly different, they’re both immensely perfect for someone who is looking to get away from the city and to live the Arizona high life.

  1. I've been looking at both Carefree and North Scottsdale. They both are such beautiful areas. I've fallen in love with Sereno Canyon in North Scottsdale because its estate sized lots where you can build a home. Deciding is definitely a challenge.
