Originally a 400-acre goat farm bought in 1955 for $44,000. The founders envisioned a community with an easygoing, airy vibe. Today Carefree is a charming town of under 4,000 people. It maintains that small-town feel but is conveniently close to northern Scottsdale and less than an hour from downtown Phoenix. Its edge-of-the-urban-area location offers easy access to the Sonoran Desert, which boasts abundant hiking and camping opportunities.
While Carefree's location is a standout feature, the town itself offers a unique charm that attracts visitors year after year. It's home to the third-largest sundial in the Western Hemisphere and has a beautiful desert garden in the downtown area. The town also boasts plenty of shopping, great food, and a vibrant artistic vibe.
Spending a morning in downtown Carefree is essential. Explore shops, restaurants, and galleries, but the biggest draw is the four-acre desert botanical garden featuring a massive sundial.
Head to the surrounding hills for hiking, trail running, and biking. Cave Creek Regional Park, with its hiking paths, picnic spots, and campsites, is nearby. Spur Cross Ranch, north of town, offers cactus-covered trails open to hikers, bikers, and horseback riders, with popular group outings like the Desert 101 Hike. Brown’s Ranch Trail in the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy is known for unique rock formations such as Balanced Rock and Cathedral Rock.
If hiking and biking aren't your thing, explore Carefree's shops and galleries. Start at the historic Spanish Village, Carefree’s arts and culture hub. Discover treasures like the Desert Moon Market and the Grace Renee Gallery. Don’t miss the M & E Stoyanov Fine Art Gallery or The Lazy Lizard for unique home furnishings.
Carefree offers a surprisingly large selection of cafes, restaurants, and bars. Enjoy healthy eats with big flavor at Confluence or head to Keeler’s Neighborhood Steakhouse for a meat-heavy menu and rooftop stargazing. For a different experience, visit the English Rose Tea Room, which offers tea-time fare in a beautiful, floral-laden tearoom with crystal chandeliers.
