Fountain Hills

When you arrive in beautiful Arizona from the Sky Harbor International Airport, travel 45 minutes northeast past Scottsdale and you will find the bustling community of Fountain Hills. This town reminds you of an oasis nestled against the mountain ranges of Four Peaks, McDowell Mountains, and the Superstition Mountains while the Verde River winds its way east of the community. Fountain Hills has the motto, “All That is Arizona,” and this saying fits the town well as you can get a taste of what it means to be a resident of this fantastic state without needing to live in the larger nearby communities.

 

It can’t be reiterated enough that Arizona has some of the most prestigious schools in the nation that continually rank high when it comes to student performance. If you have a family with school-age children, Fountain Hills can provide the stellar educational opportunities you desire. The community is served by the Fountain Hills Unified School District, which offers two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.

 

For college students, Fountain Hills is served by a wide range of higher educational opportunities that are only minutes away. Students can take technology classes at the East Valley Institute of Technology in Mesa, online courses at the University of Phoenix in Tempe, and numerous degree programs from justice administration to business at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale. Arizona State University is also only a 30-minute drive from Fountain Hills as this university in Tempe was ranked #1 for being the “Most Innovative School in America” in 2016.

 

When it comes to employment, working professionals can seek out their dream careers in Fountain Hills.
