Cave Creek

Cave Creek has a personality all its own. Just north of Phoenix and Scottsdale, it blends beautiful Sonoran Desert surroundings with a little Old West character that you don’t find in many other parts of the Valley. Downtown is eclectic, with great restaurants, local bars, fun shops and galleries, along with plenty of reminders of the town’s Western roots. The 2,100-acre Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area adds miles of hiking and horse trails and helps preserve the open desert feel.

Condos and townhomes are often tucked into the desert, giving buyers an easy-care, lock-and-leave home without giving up the scenery. Desert Ridge and North Scottsdale are only about 10–15 minutes away when you want more shopping, but Cave Creek itself has a more casual, laid-back vibe that’s a big part of its appeal.

If you want desert views, hiking, great food and a town with real character, Cave Creek is a fun place to call home.
