Just over the foothills of Scottsdale, Fountain Hills is located east of that major city. Established in 1971 around a fountain that is capable of sending water 560 feet upward, Fountain Hills is a slower paced town compared to Scottsdale. The town has its own Target and three major grocery chains. There are popular restaurants in town and Phoenicians are drawn to the events commonly held near the Fountain and on Fountain Hills Blvd. Fountain Hills continues to grow with the latest addition being custom homes in a new subdivision called Adero Canyon.
