Hickok Homes / Fountain Hills

Built for Fountain Hills’ Mountains, Light, and Golf Course Setting

Fountain Hills is a town in Maricopa County, east of Scottsdale, best known for the iconic centerpiece fountain that rises from the lake at the heart of its central park — one of the tallest fountains in the world when it’s active. The town sits in a scenic desert-mountain setting close to McDowell Mountain Regional Park, and it was planned from the start around golf courses and view lots that look out over the surrounding mountains and open desert.

That setting shapes how we design here. Sightlines toward the mountains drive window placement and room orientation, deep overhangs and covered outdoor rooms manage glare and heat gain through nine months of strong sun, and exterior materials are chosen to hold up to Sonoran Desert UV exposure rather than borrowed from a milder climate. From our Arizona studio in Paradise Valley, our team builds custom homes and manages whole-home renovations throughout Fountain Hills, bringing the same design-build discipline to every project — golf course homesites, mountain-view custom builds, kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, and commercial work alike.

Fountain Hills Expertise

Building Among the Mountains and Golf Courses

Fountain Hills was laid out as a planned community, and that planning shows in how the town is organized: neighborhoods wrapped around golf courses, streets that curve to preserve mountain sightlines, and a central park built around the fountain the town is named for. Lots here range from in-town parcels close to the fountain and the town’s shopping district to larger view lots on the foothills that back up toward McDowell Mountain Regional Park, and each type of lot asks for a different approach to siting, grading, and glazing before a floor plan is finalized.

Because Fountain Hills is an incorporated town within Maricopa County, permitting runs through the Town of Fountain Hills for most in-town lots, with the county handling any adjacent unincorporated parcels, and many of the town’s golf course communities layer on their own HOA architectural review for massing, roof pitch, and street-facing appearance. We confirm which of these apply to a specific lot before design begins, and we build realistic review time into the schedule rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Arizona’s four-season but hot-summer climate shapes material and design choices here as much as the floor plan does. Deep overhangs and covered outdoor rooms keep west-facing glass and mountain-view windows livable through summer afternoons, while stone, steel, and board-formed concrete hold up to sustained UV exposure far better than materials borrowed from a milder market. Getting drainage and grading right before the first wall goes up matters just as much heading into monsoon season as it does anywhere else we build.

Beyond custom residential work, Hickok Homes also provides commercial general contracting, multifamily construction, apartment construction, and commercial roofing services in Fountain Hills and the surrounding North Valley.

Fountain Hills — Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hickok Homes a Fountain Hills-based custom home builder?

Hickok Homes maintains a dedicated Arizona studio in Paradise Valley, and our Arizona-based team builds custom homes and handles renovations throughout Fountain Hills and the surrounding North Valley communities.

Do you build on golf course or mountain-view lots in Fountain Hills?

Yes. Many of our Fountain Hills clients are building on lots that back up to a golf course or look out over the surrounding mountains, and we site the home and plan window placement specifically to take advantage of those views.

How long does it take to build a custom home in Fountain Hills?

Most fully custom homes in the area take 10 to 16 months to construct once permits are issued, depending on size, site conditions, and finish level.

Does Hickok Homes handle Town of Fountain Hills and Maricopa County permitting?

Yes. We manage permitting and inspection scheduling for the Town of Fountain Hills on in-town lots, and for Maricopa County on any adjacent unincorporated parcels, confirming which jurisdiction applies before design begins.

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Fountain Hills?

Because every custom home is unique, shaped by lot condition, square footage, and finish level, we do not quote a fixed cost-per-square-foot figure before understanding your specific project. The most useful first step is a feasibility conversation about your lot.

Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect on a Fountain Hills project?

Yes. While many of our Fountain Hills clients come to us for full design-build service, we also partner with independent architects and designers, coordinating construction documents, structural engineering, and permitting around a design that is already underway.

Does Hickok Homes handle both new construction and remodeling in Fountain Hills?

Yes. Our Arizona-based team builds ground-up custom homes and also handles whole-home remodeling, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and home additions throughout Fountain Hills.

What commercial services does Hickok Homes offer in Fountain Hills?

We provide commercial general contracting, commercial roofing, multifamily construction, and apartment construction services throughout Fountain Hills and the surrounding North Valley.

Will a golf course community’s HOA need to approve our project?

Many of Fountain Hills’ golf course neighborhoods have architectural review committees that evaluate massing, roof pitch, and street-facing appearance before the town will issue permits. We manage that submittal process and build its typical turnaround into your schedule.

What other areas near Fountain Hills does Hickok Homes serve?

In addition to Fountain Hills itself, we serve nearby communities including Scottsdale and Cave Creek, along with the broader North Valley from our Arizona studio in Paradise Valley.
