The 55+ active adult golf communities of Rio Verde, Tonto Verde, and Vista Verde are just 10 miles east of Scottsdale and 8 miles north of Fountain Hills.The three communities are located on the western edge of the lower Verde River, surrounded by pristine natural desert beauty and glorious mountain vistas with the McDowellMountainRegionalPark to the southwest, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation to the south, and the TontoNational Forest to the north and east.If you love the outdoors and want to “get away from it all”, yet still be a short drive to world-class shopping and dining, then The Verdes is the place for you.
