     The Carefree Desert Garden, a 4 acre garden located on Easy Street in Carefree, AZ, is a great place to view our local desert plants.        Strolling around the Carefree Desert Garden, you'll see a rare Boojum Tree among many of the native plants as the garden weaves it way around the Carefree Sundial, the Carefree Amphitheater, great art and sculptures, a waterfall, and a giant gila monster slide.       After touring the Carefree Desert Garden for FREE, visit any of the great shops along Ho and Hum streets and stop in for refreshments at any of the wonderful restaurants.  I love the English Rose Tea Room (reservations recommended 480-488-4812) and the Sundial Cafe for breakfast or lunch.  Carefree Station often has night time entertainment on the rooftop allowing you to enjoy our...

When you are looking at home listings in the Scottsdale area you will often see the description “Desert Landscaping.”  What exactly does that mean?  Scottsdale is typically desert terrain complete with saguaros, other forms of cactus and a number of distinctive trees and bushes.  Homes are built upon parcels of land carved out of this unique desert setting and are scattered among areas known as “NAOS,” or Natural Area Open Space.  Almost two thirds of Scottsdale, north of the Central Arizona Canal, is affected by the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Ordinance (ESLO) which dictates how much land must be left in its natural condition. (Here is a link to the Scottsdale Government website relating to this subject.) Many homeowners choose to have a more natural looking front yard by using des...

LIVING IN CAREFREE ARIZONA Carefree Arizona has the most beautiful desert and mountain views around.  I love the mountains with their huge boulders and the beautiful homes that sit inside the mountain barely to be seen.  The city has a small town feel and is very quaint. I had the opportunity to dine at the Carefree Station bar and grill last weekend which is now on my list for the best food I have ever had.  Whether you are looking to buy a home here or take the weekend off to enjoy an art show you won't be disappointed. How many homes can you see in the picture below?   AVAILABLE HOMES IN CAREFREE ARIZONA
