Homes in Camelback Mountain (Paradise Valley side)
Homes in the Camelback foothills of Paradise Valley range from mid-century hillside homes to modern custom estates. Remodels commonly replace older punched windows with larger glass and add multi-slide or pocket doors to patios and pools.
The look: Low, horizontal desert contemporary and hillside homes in stone and stucco, oriented with big glass toward Camelback Mountain's tan-and-brown granite hump and its reddish sandstone head.
Heat, sun & monsoon considerations
Hillside lots can face strong sun and wind. North-facing view glass gets less direct sun than west- or south-facing glass, which can allow clearer, higher-light coatings on those walls while keeping maximum solar control on the west.
HOA, permits & approvals
Hillside properties may be subject to the Town of Paradise Valley's hillside development regulations, and some subdivisions have HOAs. Check with the Town and any HOA before changing openings or exterior glass.
Views & glass choices
Choose different glass for different walls: high-clarity Low-E on shaded or north-facing view glass, stronger solar control on west and south walls. Minimal-frame doors keep sightlines open.
