Desert Hills is a newer community the boundaries of which are, approximately, Anthem to the north, Carefree Highway to the south, 24th St. to the east, and I-17 to the west.
It has a very interesting mix of smaller cottages at the lower end of the scale, up to million dollar properties at the higher end.
Definitely a favorite amongst equestrians as demonstrated by the many ranches in the area, plus the varied homes that enjoy horse privileges and have corrals and tack barns in their backyard.
One of the big advantages of Desert Hills is the proximity, and ease of access, to downtown Phoenix afforded by I-17. It is eminently possible to work downtown during the week, but at weekends enjoy all the fun of horseback riding, easily achieved with a 30-40 minute commute.
Not too long ago, some would have deemed Desert Hills as a little too remote, although that may have been a bonus to others, but today as more and more homes are being built, the infrastructure is starting to arrive. Also, with the building of the eclectic and wonderfully charming development called Tramonto, at the western most end of Desert Hills, there are now supermarkets and fast food restaurants to serve the new residents. As of this writing, Home Depot is about to open a new store further increasing amenities in the area.
So, whether you are a horse lover or not, Desert Hills is a wonderful community to raise a family; or to retire and relax and enjoy the wide open spaces, and magnificent mountain backdrop.
Come set a spell, I'll bey you'll want to stay!
