What the Fountain Hills median hides

One number blends small condos with custom hillside estates. Redfin put the Fountain Hills median sale price at $724,521 for August 2026, up 18.8 percent in a year. Height splits the town too: about 1,520 feet at the fountain and 3,000 feet on Golden Eagle Boulevard (Town of Fountain Hills).

That beats the county's $473,406 (Redfin, August 2026) and the 2026 FHA one unit limit of $557,750 (homebuyer.com). Tyler sorts sales by view, slope and golf frontage before size, because a lot high on the hill looks out on a different town.

Fountain Hills communities and the comp question in each

Names below are recorded subdivisions and condominium plats on the Maricopa County Assessor's map inside Fountain Hills.

FireRock

At the south end of town, FireRock is guard gated with 24 hour security around a private 18 hole course by Gary Panks. Recent lot listings ran from a 0.72 acre upsloping site to 1.16 acres between the first and 18th fairways. Fairway lots get fairway comps; slope gets matched too.

SunRidge Canyon

West central Fountain Hills, set among McDowell Mountain ridges and canyons around a public Keith Foster course, par 71 and 6,823 yards. The Assessor splits it into about a dozen lettered parcels plus Hilltop and Shadow Canyon. A canyon view lot and a fairway lot are different products, with different comps.

Eagle Mountain

The southwest corner of town wraps around Eagle Mountain Golf Club, a par 71 course of about 6,800 yards. Recorded parcels run from 3B through 14, and La Loma at Eagle Mountain adds condos in four phases. Detached homes and La Loma condos stay on separate grids.

Eagles Nest

Up in the northwest corner, Eagles Nest is a custom homesite community, and most of its current listings are vacant land. One 1.34 acre cul de sac lot was marketed with views of Four Peaks and the fountain. For a new custom home, Tyler looks at lot sales and finished home sales together.

Adero Canyon

Along the west edge, Adero Canyon is gated, and Toll Brothers builds homes of about 2,927 to 4,903 square feet there. MCO Properties opened it to development and gave access for the Adero Canyon Trailhead into the town preserve. Builder sales, incentives included, get tested against Adero Canyon resales.

Numbered Fountain Hills plats

Outside the gated communities, most lots sit on plats the Assessor records by number, such as Fountain Hills Arizona No. 433 in the north or Plat 706 by FireRock's east end. Ground climbs from about 1,520 feet at the fountain to 3,000 feet on Golden Eagle Boulevard, so view and slope come before plat number.

Schools, preserve and town edges

Fountain Hills Unified School District #98 serves the whole town. Scottsdale lies west, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation east, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community south and McDowell Mountain Regional Park north, so comps come from inside town first. Lots by the Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve (over 1,000 acres, entered at the Adero Canyon Trailhead) get trail access noted.

The fee is quoted for each address and report type. Tyler sends the quote and the next inspection date, usually within one business day.

How is a FireRock or SunRidge Canyon golf lot valued?

Yes. Tyler is on the FHA Roster, and the lender confirms the condo project meets FHA rules before ordering.

Can you value a Fountain Hills home as of a date of death?

Yes. Value is set as of that date from sales that closed around it, documented to USPAP for heirs and trustees.
