Fountain Hills is a small, scenic desert community (pop. 24,600) located east of Scottsdale and about 45 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport in Maricopa County. The town is surrounded by mountains with sweeping mountain views including Four Peaks, the Superstition Mountains and the McDowell Mountains, and boasts a natural desert landscape. Fountain Hills could be described as an upscale community with hometown character. The richness and quality of life here is evident the moment you crest the mountain pass leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Scottsdale and the rest of the Valley.
With a name like Fountain Hills, of course there is a fountain. And not just any fountain. It is one of the world's highest fountains, with a 560-foot tall plume of water that shoots into the sky and is visible for many miles. The fountain is located in the middle of a man-made 28-acre lake in the heart of the town.
