Carefree History
Golf courses are reminders of how the town first began
in the 1950s in Carefree, Arizona. The community was an
idea developed by Tom Darlington and K.T. Palmer, who
wanted to develop a planned community within the
spectacular boulder formations, mountain views, and
Sonoran Desert
beauty.

Carefree was one of the earliest planned communities in
Arizona. However, it wasn't until 1984 that the town of
Carefree was incorporated. The town has worked hard to
make sure that residential areas and commercial
development don't get in the way of the natural high
desert beauty of the area. With every turn, one can spot
amazing properties placed in a one of kind
saguaro studded background. This spectacular landscape
is then combined with the down home feeling that is felt
whenever one is doing business in Carefree.
Residents in Carefree enjoy the combination of rural
relaxation and urban sophistication. It is a cozy town
covering just over 8 square miles with street names to
match the town's attitude. Names such as Easy Street,
Tranquil Trail, and Ho and Hum Roads, these roads
meander through the community. For those who want to see
the city lights, yet not experience the stress that
accompanies city living, they will find that the town of
Carefree is the perfect match.
