To thoroughly enjoy the beauty of the Sonoran desert, stay in the Carefree and Cave Creek areas when visiting the Valley of the Sun. At an elevation of 2,500 feet, we're at least five degrees cooler than the Valley and a few miles removed from the hustle of the big cities.
Known more as a resort/residential area, Carefree is a relatively new town, settled in the 1950s. With accommodations ranging from bed and breakfasts to world-class resorts, these two communities are sure to provide something for everyone!
Shopping in Carefree and Cave Creek attracts not only the casual browser, but also the serious collector. You can find anything from spurs to crafts and custom jewelry by local artists. Here you will find fascinating galleries and shops to explore. Spend hours strolling through studios, trading posts, shops, clothing boutiques, crystal shops and more.
Several weekends throughout the year feature festivals of juried fine art and wine.
Carefree has 15 (and climbing) restaurants, which is one restaurant for every 247 people, the highest per capita in the Phoenix metropolitan area. So with that many restaurants, there is cuisine to suit and satisfy every appetite. Whether you fancy good old American standards, you wish to pamper your palette with posh delicacies, or just want a pizza, you can find it in Carefree.
