The Definitive Guide to Moon Valley
Moon Valley is where north-central Phoenix slows down. Built around the Moon Valley Country Club in the 1960s and 1970s, this neighborhood has a mature, settled feel with established trees, cul-de-sac streets, and homes that sit on generous lots. Families have lived here for generations, drawn by the strong schools, the proximity to North Mountain Park and Lookout Mountain, and the quiet evenings on back patios. You can hike to the top of North Mountain in 20 minutes and see the entire Valley spread below. The Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs resort sits at the neighborhood's edge, adding a touch of resort atmosphere. Moon Valley is not flashy, but it is the kind of place where neighbors know each other and roots run deep.
