Unlike neighboring Cave Creek, Carefree
dates back only a few decades. Founded in the 1950's, the town is one
of the earliest planned communities in Arizona. We also boast the largest
Sundial in the Western Hemisphere. Carefree has gained a reputation
for its beauty -- the unique rock outcroppings and boulders visible
for miles -- its nationally-known residents and visitors and our shopping
and recreational amenities. The art galleries, cultural events, unique
shops and restaurants attest to our fine reputation.
