Eagle Mountain is a golf community in Fountain Hills, ZIP 85268, set in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains near Shea Boulevard, right where you enter town from northeast Scottsdale. It has single-family homes, villas, townhomes and custom homes built mostly from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, wrapped around the public Eagle Mountain Golf Club.
I'm Terry Day with DeLex Realty. Eagle Mountain is the first neighborhood many people see when they drive into Fountain Hills on Shea, and the mountain and golf views catch their eye right away. It is a smaller, quieter community with easy access back toward Scottsdale. Here is what I tell buyers and sellers about it.

Eagle Mountain sits at the southwest edge of Fountain Hills, tucked into the ravines and foothills on the east side of the McDowell Mountains. Coming from Scottsdale, you cross over the hill on Shea Boulevard and Eagle Mountain is right there, with Eagle Mountain Parkway leading into the community. The town's western border is formed by Scottsdale and the McDowells.
That location is a big plus for commuters. Shea Boulevard takes you west into Scottsdale and toward Loop 101, and the Mayo Clinic campus on Shea is a short drive. Downtown Fountain Hills, with its famous fountain, is a few minutes east.
Eagle Mountain is a mix of single-family homes, villas, townhomes and custom estate homes, laid out in numbered parcels such as "Eagle Mountain Parcel 12" and "Eagle Mountain 13." Local sources put it at roughly 550 to 650 acres and about 1,000 homes. Most homes were built from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, so you get a settled community with mature desert landscaping.
Because the land is hilly, lot position matters a lot. Homes along the fairways or up on the ridges often have long views of the course and the mountains, while others are more tucked in. I always walk the lot and check the view from the main rooms.
Eagle Mountain Golf Club is the centerpiece. It was designed by Scott Miller, opened in early 1996, and plays as an 18-hole, par-71 daily-fee course that is open to the public. The club has a restaurant called The Grille, an event space called the Overlook Pavilion, and a golf academy.
Outside of golf, the McDowell Mountain foothills give you hiking and biking close to home, and the Town of Fountain Hills has its own McDowell Mountain Preserve trail system. For everyday shopping, Eagle Mountain Village Plaza on Shea Boulevard at the edge of town is anchored by a Fry's grocery store.
Eagle Mountain is in the Fountain Hills Unified School District. The district's schools include McDowell Mountain Elementary, Fountain Hills Middle School and Fountain Hills High School. The district has reorganized grade levels in recent years, so please confirm the current grades and school assignments for a specific home with the district.
Eagle Mountain has a master homeowners association, the Eagle Mountain Community Association, which was formed in 1995. Some parcels, especially the villa and townhome sections, may also have their own sub-association. The golf course is a separate, public business, so owning a home here does not come with a golf membership, and you can play there whether you live here or not. Ask for all HOA documents during escrow.
Start by deciding which home type fits you, since a lock-and-leave villa and a custom home on the hillside are very different purchases. Look closely at views, how close the home is to a tee box or green, slope and drainage, and the age of the roof and A/C. If you want a lower rate, ask me about homes with assumable mortgages, and read my first steps to buying a home in Arizona.
Views sell homes here, so great photos, drone shots and twilight images matter. Pricing should compare your home to recent sales of the same type and view, not the whole town. My article on how to price your Arizona home to sell explains my approach, and my North Scottsdale seller guide covers the nearby market. You can also see DeLex Realty listings in Fountain Hills.
