“There is a reason we call this valley ‘paradise.’”
Paradise Valley’s town motto encapsulates the overwhelming experience enjoyed by residents of this incredible area and visitors alike. Home to eight full-service resorts and the area’s most luxurious homes, Paradise Valley provides a gorgeous backdrop for a Sunday drive—whether you’re behind the wheel of a classic convertible or swinging clubs on the golf course.
Paradise Valley’s early residents treasured their independence from neighboring Phoenix and Scottsdale, and petitioned successfully for the town’s incorporation in 1961. This autonomy seems particularly fitting for the many iconoclastic personalities that have called Paradise Valley home over the years. Your new neighborhood in Paradise Valley might have been called home by notables like Muhammad Ali, Sandra Day O’Connor, Vince Vaughn, or Alice Cooper.
Schools in Paradise Valley are chiefly operated by the Scottsdale Unified School District, with Creighton Elementary School District and Phoenix Union High School District providing oversight for a few Paradise Valley–area schools remaining outside the Scottsdale district. The Paradise Valley Unified School District, though it shares a Phoenix-area location and name with the town of Paradise Valley, actually operates in and refers to an area several miles to the north, inside the city of Phoenix.
