Mountain views, investment opportunities, large lots, and schools are among the many reasons Paradise Valley got its name, say local Realtors.

"Paradise Valley remains at the top of the list when buyers are looking for a mixture of views, privacy and location," suggests Realtor Kurt VanNess. "Close to everything, views of the notorious praying monk, and large lot sizes! This literally is a small, lush valley surrounded by mountains that people with exquisite tastes consider paradise! The Paradise Valley school district is also a big reason people want to move to Paradise Valley."

Says Realtor Audry Wolff, " Paradise Valley is almost exclusively residential on one acre minimum lots built between 1970 and the present. Many older homes have been completely renovated. Most newer or newly renovated homes sell for a minimum of $300 per square foot. Residents shop at Paradise Valley Mall, Biltmore Fashion Park or Scottsdale Fashion Square."

"Sales have been skyrocketing in the Paradise Valley area," say Realtors Ron Wilczek and Catherine BallThey advise, "For those of you who can afford to live in Paradise Valley it offers a unique investment opportunity. Centrally located between Downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale, with one-acre minimum lots and some outstanding views from the flanks of Camelback and Mummy Mountains, Paradise Valley homes start at $1,000,000. Buy one of these homes, enjoy the lifestyle and luxury then sell it after two years and buy another. You'll enjoy tax-free income of up to $500,000 (if married) on your appreciation, which has been considerable of late. Always think of real estate as an investment, especially when it's your primary residence."
