The town’s population of 23,000 is the 8th fastest growing place in Arizona over the past 20 years (+13.8% growth rate). There used to be an older median age for the population, but recent development promotes a younger family-oriented age. What we love about Fountain Hills is the diverse home pricing options, all within the same general area. While there are multi-million dollar homes all around the outskirts of the hills, the average home value is $286,000 (and average family income is $80,000). There are low crime rates and a flourishing art culture that features many local Arizona artisans. This is a great city to invest in while the housing prices are still reasonable!
