Paradise Valley

Welcome to Paradise Valley

Nestled in the shadows of Camelback Mountain, the town of Paradise Valley is an elegant island of acre-plus homesites boasting multi-million dollar homes. In 1889, the Rio Verde Canal Company sent three surveyors to help turn this open cattle-grazing land into irrigated farmland. These "Easterners" became so enthralled by the beauty and tranquility of the desert landscape that they named the area "Paradise Valley." In May of 1961, incorporation was granted and the Town of Paradise Valley was established. Since that time, Paradise Valley has become known as a haven for private, relaxed upscale luxury living.
