�People who come to Rio Verde choose a lifestyle unique among active adult communities.� - Tom Lehman. The one-of-a-kind desert surroundings and the welcoming camaraderie shared among residents truly sets this community apart. Tonto National Forest and McDowell Mountain Regional Park allow for limitless exploration and exhilaration, while the two 18-hole courses set the stage for rewarding challenges. Whether hiking through the desert, playing nine holes or just hanging out by the pool, it's easy to find a like-minded resident to share in the experience.
