Paradise Valley, Residential town in Maricopa County, United States.
Paradise Valley spans across 15.4 square miles of desert terrain between Camelback Mountain and the McDowell Mountains at an elevation of 409 meters.
The Rio Verde Canal Company transformed this grazing area into farmland during the 1880s, leading three surveyors to name it Paradise Valley in 1889.
The town maintains strict zoning regulations of one house per acre minimum, preserving its residential character and mountain views since its incorporation.
Residents access municipal services through online systems for bill payments and permit applications while the local police department ensures community safety.
The town contains Mummy Mountain as its central geographical feature, with ongoing projects balancing development and natural conservation efforts.
