Temperatures are rising here in Fountain Hills, Arizona! One of our residents’ favorite parts of Fountain View Village are the endlessly sunny days we enjoy all-year-round. Come the summer, though, it’s important to exercise some additional caution to avoid getting caught in the heat. Here are some ways to enjoy sunny Arizona in the summer — while stil staying safe!

Start Early To Beat the Heat

At Fountain View Village, temperatures at the beginning of the day before 10 am can be at least 15 degrees cooler than later in the day. Enjoy a pleasant morning walk or bike ride before the sun gets too hot, or plan an early golf tee time to make the most of the putting green! Looking to head off campus? Fountain View Village is conveniently located right in the heart of Fountain Hills, AZ. Home to one of the world’s tallest fountains (with water rising up to 560 feet), our area is famous for its natural beauty and incredible views. Enjoy hiking, boating, biking, summer farmers market, and some of the most picturesque golf courses in the state with a majestic backdrop of the McDowell and Four Peaks mountains. Remember to pack your water bottle, hat, and sunscreen!

Take the Fun Inside!

During the heat of the day, it’s important to avoid spending excessive time outside. So take the fun indoors! Fountain View Village has so many ways to keep you active. Enjoy one of our many learning opportunities, like chef demonstrations, painting classes, lecture series, and more! Or join us for a happy hour, holiday party, exercise class, or game of pool.
