Cave Creek is primarily a recreational-resort community that offers a pleasant blend of older historical themes with some new and newer residential construction. The town is nestled in the Arizonian foothills directly north of Scottsdale 15 miles northeast of Phoenix.
The surrounding natural scenery is spectacular, with massive piles of granite boulders, sharp mountains and an abundance of desert growth.
Because of the low density development, residents share the area with deer, bobcats, cardinals, coyotes, javelinas, coveys of quail and an occasional mountain lion.
