One of the most exclusive towns in the entire Phoenix metropolitan area, if not the entire state of Arizona, is the aptly-named community of Paradise Valley…and it’s no surprise that the region boasts some of the most luxurious high profile subdivisions the Valley of the Sun has to offer.



Although Paradise Valley is snuggled smack-dab in the center of the thriving metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona, it maintains an elegant, almost rural-like ambience. The stunning homes and glamorous real estate in Paradise Valley wow with a wealth of amenities ranging from state-of-the-art home theaters with a bevy of sink-right-in-recliners and high tech sound systems to full-size fenced tennis courts, beautifully appointed guest casitas and multi-car garages that sometimes feature capacity-expanding lifts. In addition, many homes flaunt grounds that rival high-end resorts in terms of immaculately manicured landscaping, alfresco kitchens, dining/dancing ramadas, tall swaying palm trees and smooth-as-glass swimming pools often accented with boulder-trimmed waterfalls, flaming fire-pots, cascading water sheers and spillover spas. Many communities are both gated and guarded, and quite a number of homes are accessed via private roads or are perched high above the valley on sloping hillsides and/or rugged mountainsides.



A sampling of some of the individual communities in Paradise Valley includes La Place Du Sommet and Mountain Shadows, both of which enjoy the security of a manned gate. The prestigious Mountain Shadows neighborhood also has an executive golf course, a year-round pool, and a fitness and recreation center. Clearwater Hills and Finisterre are also gated; full-time security officers and a card-pass entrance system help to ensure that residents receive the privacy they desire.



Some people feel that the crème de la crème of planned communities in Paradise Valley could very well be Judson Estates. Discriminating buyers looking for only the finest properties in town are sure to find what they are looking for in this distinctive neighborhood. Only a few lots are available, and the area is awash with custom homes filled with designer finishes and world-class fixtures.



For those who prefer hillside living, Camelback Lands and Mummy Mountain Park both boast incredibly beautiful homes with breathtaking views of shimmering city lights. Stonecreek Estates offers awe-inspiring mountain views, and lavish homes are the norm inside the Paradise Valley Country Club. Meanwhile, if you have horses, Sunburst Farms has homes with the requisite equine-oriented land and features.



Paradise Valley also has extensive golf properties located on prime real estate, and if you love nothing more than getting out on the links, owning a home nestled alongside a challenging course can truly be like heaven on Earth. Fortunately for golf aficionados, many of the town’s expansive homes have gorgeous views of a lush golf course.
