Rio Verde is an adult community nestled in between the McDowell and the Mazatzal mountains with its signature Four Peaks directly across the valley. It is located approximately 30 miles northeast of downtown Phoenix or 15 miles from upscale Scottsdale. The weather is delightfully clear and dry with winter temperatures in the 60s and 70s by day, going down to the 40s and 50s by night. There are two golf courses meandering through the community, together with tennis and swimming and hiking over marked trails in the nearby mountains. Just beyond Rio Verde itself, the greater Phoenix area boasts over 100 golf courses together with shopping, dining, sports and theatre. Day trips in the high Sonoran desert and mountains will be rewarded with spectacular views, unique vegetation and rarely seen rock formations with camera popping colors. This is a unique combination of a quiet and friendly community, golf and related leisure activities, together with Arizona's very own beautiful landscapes.
