Homes and water damage in Cave Creek

Cave Creek and neighboring Carefree are desert-foothill towns at the Valley's north edge, around 2,100 to 2,600 feet, with a western character, large lots and custom homes among saguaros and boulders. Much of the area is rural-feeling, with homes on wells or hauled water, septic systems and long private driveways. Cave Creek itself runs through town and can flood during big storms. Carefree's ZIP (85377) is included here with Cave Creek's two ZIPs (85327, 85331).

Custom homes, many with flat roofs, parapets, adobe-style details and septic systems. Some properties rely on wells or hauled water and storage tanks. Washes cross many properties and roads.

Cave Creek and Carefree sit higher than most of the Valley, closer to the Tonto National Forest, and nights are noticeably cooler — cold enough on some winter nights to freeze exposed pipes and hauled-water lines. Many properties are on septic systems, and some rely on hauled water stored in tanks, so leaks and backups can come from sources a city home doesn't have.
