Homes and water damage in Fountain Hills

Fountain Hills is a hillside town east of Scottsdale, set against the McDowell Mountains and known for the tall fountain in its central park. Development began in the 1970s, and most homes are 1970s–2000s, many on sloped lots with views and retaining walls. The town sits higher than most of the Valley, and its terrain means storm water moves quickly down streets and washes.

Many homes are built into slopes, with lower levels or walk-outs, retaining walls and complex drainage. Older homes from the 1970s and 1980s have aging plumbing; many residents are retirees or seasonal.

Fountain Hills sits between the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the McDowell Mountain Regional Park, and its streets wind up steep slopes with many homes stepped into the hillside. Washes run through neighborhoods toward the Verde River side of town. Homes with walk-out lower levels or casitas below the main house are the ones most likely to take storm water.
