Welcome to the Town of Carefree!
Here you will find information on relocating to the scenic Sonoran Desert of the Town of Carefree, Arizona including Carefree real estate, schools, and area information!
The Town of Carefree is nestled in the foothills of the Sonoran Desert amid lush terrain and ancient boulders. It is known not only for its spectacular desert sights but for its gracious carefree living and home to the famous giant sundial. Carefree is one of the first master-planned communities in the area. Whimsical street names were used such as Ho Hum Road, Tranquil Trail, Nonchalant, and Easy Street to reflect the “Carefree” lifestyle.
Carefree has evolved into an eclectic mix of shops, galleries, restaurants, and desert botanical gardens complete with sculptures and fountains, and is very pedestrian-friendly. The historic Sundial marks the center of town and inspires the quote ”Carefree, where the sun marks time”. There are many great restaurants right in town to satisfy anyone’s appetite for any occasion and resort hotels to bed and breakfast places to spend the night. Information about Carefree Restaurants
