I have been a long time subscriber of National Geographic Adventure Magazine. The magazine covers the exciting world of adventure, from travel destinations and outdoor pursuits to accounts of cutting-edge expeditions and profiles of modern-day explorers. Each issue features at least one Adventure Town, someplace that is an ideal location to live & play in the United States. They typically include a brief overview of the town, local adventure activities (like hiking, mountain biking, etc), lodging and the real estate market.

I really like this feature as it introduces you to new aspects of communities that you may not be aware of. I thought it would be fun to do my own take on this and share with you some information about my favorite adventure town, Fountain Hills, AZ and why I love it so much.

Most people who know of the community think of it as a retirement community, artist haven, or sleepy suburb. In reality, Fountain Hills is a very active community close to some of the greatest indoor & outdoor adventures in Arizona. Over the next few months, I'll share with you some of these great adventure activities in and around Fountain Hills. 

Please let me know if you have any questions about Fountain Hills or if you would like to make it your Adventure Town.  I'd be happy to help you find your new home!
