Paradise Valley’s most expensive neighborhoods hug Camelback Mountain along the Southeast parts of the city. These areas provide the most stunning views of the most iconic mountain in Metro Phoenix and offer an abundance of sunshine. With unparalleled access to some of the best amenities in the area, 85250 and 85253 are some of the most desirable zip codes in Arizona.
While other areas of Phoenix and Scottsdale contain pricey luxury homes, Paradise Valley AZ takes the prize for the most exclusive enclaves. Paradise Valley is known for offering its residents a private, slower-paced, affluent lifestyle. Properties are much more rural and spread out compared to other areas, this makes it suitable for horse properties and large estates. Paradise Valley is best known for its world class golf courses, high-end restaurants and notable residents, like gold-medalist Michael Phelps, Mohammad Ali and Dan Quayle.
Paradise Valley luxury properties are typically in gated communities or are singular homes that have their own gate. Smaller neighborhoods, such as Camelback Country Club Estates, offer high-end homes on large lots with a community feel. For mansions and luxury homes in Paradise Valley, large parcels, privacy, and manicured lush landscaping are the norm.
Paradise Valley offers plenty of things to do, while still in close proximity to all that Phoenix and Scottsdale have to offer. Some of our favorite Paradise Valley attractions and luxury destinations include:
