Housing
Housing in Fountain Hills tends to be more spaced out than in surrounding Arizona communities, with a nice mix of single family and multi-family residential properties. There is also an adequate amount of commercial real estate space to accommodate a thriving community. The majority of the houses in Fountain Hills are custom homes that have been architecturally designed to fit into the landscape of this hillside community. Many of the homes enjoy dramatic views of the World Famous Fountain Hills Fountain and surrounding mountain ranges including Four Peaks, the Superstitions, the Mazatzals, the McDowells and Red Mountain. The small town atmosphere and friendly nature of the residents create a welcoming environment for visitors and new residents, making Fountain Hills a great relocation spot.

Schools
The Fountain Hills Unified School District has earned a reputation for excellent academic programs, noteworthy student achievement, and high levels of parent and community involvement. The district consists of four schools, McDowell Mountain Elementary School (Pre-K - 2), Four Peaks Elementary School (3-5), Fountain Hills Middle School (6-8), and Fountain Hills High School (9-12). Parents who prefer a self-directed approach to learning may also enjoy the Montessori environment of the Fountain Hills Charter School (K - 8).

Community Activities
On a typical morning, you will find many residents out for a walk or jog around the fountain, playing a round of golf, or visiting at one of the local coffee shops. A variety of programs offered through Parks & Recreation, local clubs, and the community center keep residents busy and involved in the community. Children and adults alike can enjoy numerous sporting activities, cultural events, and outdoor activities. The town's dog park offers a place to get to know your neighbors while your four legged friends play outdoors off leash. Another popular activity is the disc golf (Frisbee golf or frolf) course around the Fountain.
