Weather | | How much crime? | | What are the neighborhoods like? | | What are the people like? |
The weather is amazing in winter, spring and fall - low to mid 70's and 40's at night. The summers can get really hot usually plus 100 during the day. | | Crime is almost non existent in Carefree. The worst crime is an occasional robbery at a local store or a burglary - since some homes are only occupied in the winter/fall. | | Carefree has hardly a bad spot in town. The town is so small - only 4000 people and the homes are spread out with a few condominium, complexes in the center of town. Mostly upper class retired Caucasian population. | | The locals are extremely friendly. They treat like you are their best friend. Very courteous and helpful. Mostly retired folks so they don't have a care in the world! |
Downtown Area | | Restaurants | | Schools | | Single life |
Downtown is absolutely amazing. Many boutique stores to visit, some geared mostly to tourists, art gallery's with work from local artists, farmers market on weekends and small quaint restaurants. | | There are some really quaint restaurants in Carefree. The Rose Tea Room offers many types of tea, sandwiches and a quiet atmosphere. The Cellar B Wine Bar has indoor and outdoor seating, a large variety of wine to choose from and has an adjacent cigar bar. | | The closet school is about 30 minutes away. There are no local schools in Carefree. | | A great area for older singles - 50 plus. Lots of single retired folks looking for fun, golf, boating. |
Noise | | town comparison vs. | | Best hospital | | Tourist attractions |
So quiet there you could sleep outside any time of the day and not be disturbed. | | Carefree is literally a stop sign away from Cave Creek. Also a retired community but with a few more fun bars, activities, and also walking distance to just about everything. | | The best hospital would be in Phoenix. About an 45 minutes drive, very modern, clean and well appointed. | | With Cave Creek right next door, you have an abundance of choices for nice places to visit. The art gallery Trail of Painted Ponies, has an amazing selection of art and sculptures. And you don't want to miss Harold's Cave Creek Corral with great food and bull riding to boot! |
General comments | | | | | | |
The town of Carefree is just that - Carefree! You can spend your days walking the 'downtown' area, hanging out at the local wine bar of sitting by the pool. It's very relaxing. | | | | | | |
