As the temperatures begin to climb, the Town of Fountain Hills Rotary Centennial Splash Park invites young and old alike to cool down.
One of the favorite spot for kids and grown-ups alike is the Fountain Hills Splash Park. Like many of the amenities we enjoy in Fountain Hills, the Splash Park is a joint venture between the Rotary Club, the Town of Fountain Hills, and hundreds of private donors who gave both the funds and the labor to bring the park to fruition.

In Fountain Hills, we have definitely left the Great Housing Recession behind. Fountain Hills residential inventory (all products–single family homes, patio homes condos and townhomes) continues to be at low, healthy levels and after a robust winter where many Fountain Hills property owners got on the “price increase train” and brought their homes to the market, the run-up of inventory seen during February and March has started to recede again as the market has absorbed the inventory. While PRICES are on a very slow, steady rise on average, it is the PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT that is significantly increasing, owing to smaller, higher-quality homes that sold during 1st Quarter, 2013.
