Rio Verde (The Verdes: Rio Verde & Tonto Verde)
The active adult communities of Tonto Verde and Rio Verde—collectively known as The Verdes—are located just north of Fountain Hills and east of Scottsdale. Tonto Verde is nestled along the western edge of the lower Verde River with the Tonto National Forest serving as its northern and eastern borders. Offering seclusion and pristine desert beauty, these enclaves are a short drive away from Scottsdale’s array of amenities. Community theater, a library, restaurants, services, and retail centers are all available just minutes from The Verdes in Fountain Hills. The Shea Boulevard area just outside of Fountain Hills is becoming a hub of commercial development.
Tonto Verde and Rio Verde showcase lovely residential development around the focal points of award-winning golf courses and spacious facilities. Rio Verde boasts one of the largest private country club dining rooms in the Valley. Equally impressive, the clubhouse at Tonto Verde garnered a “Best in the West” design award. Homes in both communities enjoy a natural desert setting graced by fairway views. Managed by Maricopa County, the McDowell Mountain Regional Park is a jewel in the Valley’s nature preserves, providing opportunities for hiking, biking, and picnicking right outside the front door of an address in The Verdes.
