Q. What type of shopping and services are available in the surrounding area?
A. While you will enjoy relative privacy and quiet desert sunsets on your property, you are a very short drive away from a lot of shopping, services and recreation.

• Albertson's grocery store is the anchor in a new retail center at Carefree Highway and I-17. This retail center offers many retail stores, restaurants and service providers, and is located very near our properties.
• Anthem is also a short drive north - approximately 3 - 5 miles. Anthem offers many more shopping and service options, including a large outlet mall that attracts visitors from all over Arizona.
• Anthem also has some fine dining restaurants which have recently opened.
• As a part of the City of Phoenix’s conservation effort, hundreds of acres of land have been purchased around the area to limit and control growth and provide many more recreational areas for the use by the local citizens.
• It is worth mentioning that Lake Pleasant is just few miles West of II-17 just off of Carefree Highway (approximately 20 miles from the property).
• If you are fond of cooler weather and want to go north, you are minutes away from the Northbound on-ramp of I-17. This will get you to Prescott or Sedona in about 1 to 1.5 hours and two hours to Flagstaff for cool summer temps and skiing in the winter.
• Approximately 5 miles south, you will have full access to more shopping options. There is a recently constructed large retail center easily accessible off of I-17 that offers much in the way of restaurants, retail and services.
