The Boulders community rests on the border of North Scottsdale and Carefree – part of the community is in Scottsdale and the other part is in Carefree. The Boulders is also the name of the luxury resort and spa, part of the Curio Collection by the Hilton family of hotels that are located within this gated community.
Because the community sits partially in Scottsdale and partially in Carefree, residents enjoy proximity to both North Scottsdale's dining, shopping, and employment corridors and Carefree and Cave Creek's more relaxed, small-town desert character — along with hiking and biking trails, upscale shopping, and fine dining all just minutes away.
