  • Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area: a large protected area with hiking and desert wildlife.
  • Cave Creek Regional Park: trails, camping and desert views close to town.
  • Tonto National Forest: public land just to the north for hiking, riding and outdoor recreation.

Living in Cave Creek

Homes in Cave Creek range from ranch-style properties and custom homes to newer neighborhoods, and larger lots are common. If you are looking for space, views and a slower pace without leaving the Phoenix area, Cave Creek is worth exploring.

Buying a Home in Cave Creek

Every Cave Creek purchase is different, and the right price and terms depend on the home, the seller and the market. I'm a strong negotiator, and I keep negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands, through the inspection, the appraisal and the final walkthrough. On some homes you may also be able to take over the seller's existing FHA, VA or USDA loan. See my assumable mortgage guide to learn how that works and who it fits.
