Paradise Valley

The town of Paradise Valley is a haven of private, resort-style living.

Welcome to Paradise Valley

Overview

Situated between Phoenix and Scottsdale, the town of Paradise Valley is a bastion of private, resort-style living. In 1961, Paradise Valley was officially incorporated with the goal of preserving the rural, spacious lifestyle that had become common in the area. With a population of only around 12,500 people in 2024, the town has certainly achieved its objective, retaining its roomy, desert feel.

 
Although Paradise Valley may be less well-known than its large, neighboring cities, that doesn’t mean it is any less impressive. PV is truly a haven of luxury, characterized by multi-million-dollar residential properties on relatively large lots (often 1-5 acres in size). With a median home price of $2.9M, Paradise Valley's 85253 zip code clinched the 34th spot in PropertyShark's 2022 ranking of the most expensive zip codes in the country.

Notable Landmarks

Despite being a part of the larger valley that is the Phoenix metro, it is actually three mountains that comprise geographically noteworthy sections of the secluded Town of Paradise Valley. These mountains break up the Phoenix area's valley flow, lifting dwellings off of the valley floor and providing multi-million-dollar views to residents fortunate enough to call the hillsides home. 
 
On the south edge of the valley, the iconic Camelback Mountain is home to choice neighborhoods spanning the width of the hillside, from the western edge of Scottsdale near Fashion Center and Old Town to the eastern side of Phoenix. The Phoenix Mountains Preserve forms another boundary for Paradise Valley its west side, separating the secluded valley from the busyness of suburban north Phoenix. 
 
Finally, sitting in the north-central section of Paradise Valley, Mummy Mountain provides sweeping views of areas of the surrounding cities from each of its outward-facing slopes, even catching the skyline of downtown Phoenix from some locations. As a result, it is a haven for countless beautiful residences that require significant affluence to call home.

Lifestyle

In Paradise Valley, resort-style living comes as standard. A luxurious, yet relaxed atmosphere hangs over the town, and nature takes center stage thanks to the various mountains mentioned above. If you're interested in moving to this part of town, be prepared to enjoy winding neighborhood streets rather than the grid-style layout popular in some other areas of Phoenix.
 
Another staple in the laid-back lifestyle of Paradise Valley is the sport of golf. The valley’s excellent climate and spacious layout give rise to courses like the Paradise Valley Country Club, the Camelback Golf Club, and Mountain Shadows Resort’s “Short Course”. If you're a fan of the sport, you might further appreciate being just a 15- or 20-minute drive from the Phoenix Open tournament played in North Scottsdale, which has been named an elevated PGA tour tournament in 2023.
 
Despite PV’s spacious feel, its close proximity to both Phoenix and Scottsdale provides access to a wealth of destinations and services.
 
Love to travel? You’ll have access to both Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport and Scottsdale Airport. If shopping is your favorite hobby, you might as well be surrounded, sitting between Scottsdale Fashion Center, Kierland Commons, and Biltmore Fashion Park. Perhaps instead (like Team Lead Jesse Lowery) you’re all about delicious cuisine. If so, you’ll be more than content with the proximity of almost every food imaginable, from luxurious steakhouses and seafood restaurants, to the delicious flavors of the Southwest and more. Here are a few restaurants close by that are worth a visit!
 

  • Steak 44 - A delicious steakhouse where you can’t go wrong, no matter the cut.

  • Ocean 44 - Prefer sea over land? Get all the “surf” you’re craving, even here in the desert.

  • Toca Madera - Excellent cocktails and delicious desserts sandwich your meal for a great experience.

  • SumoMaya - Latin and Asian flavors meet at this delicious spot, with tasty sushi and noodle dishes, authentic Mole, and excellent “Al Pastor” pork tacos.
