Paradise Valley, Arizona is located in Maricopa
County just northeast of Phoenix between Carefree and Scottsdale.
The population is estimated to be just over 15,000.
Paradise Valley is known as the most upscale
community in all of Arizona. It's tucked into a valley between
three beautiful mountains, Camelback Mountain, Squaw Peak Mountain
and Mummy Mountain.
Paradise Valley was developed as a community of homes and resorts.
There are no grocery stores or corner markets in the town of
Paradise Valley. It is strictly a community of large homes with
beautiful mountain views and seclusion from the rest of the city.
Paradise Valley is actually in an interesting position in the
Valley. It borders both Scottsdale and Phoenix, and each city
stakes the claim that it's a part of their city. When Paradise
Valley was being developed, it was considered to be outside of
Phoenix and away from Scottsdale. In time, Paradise Valley was
annexed by the city of Phoenix, so it was officially a
neighborhood village in Phoenix. Yet, many of the children who
live in Paradise Valley, go to Scottsdale Schools and is therefore
considered to be a Scottsdale Resident. This is a legal battle
that has gone back over 30 years, yet it doesn't affect the fact
that Paradise Valley is the most exclusive address to have in all
of Arizona.
