| The Willows at Camp
Verde is a friendly, age-restricted, manufactured home
community located along the Verde River and near Highway 17 in
central Arizona, about half way between Flagstaff and
Phoenix. Homes here adhere to rather strict
architectural and landscaping guidelines which ensures a
neat, clean community with lots of curb appeal.
Streets are paved, and all utilities are located
underground, which also contributes to the nice overall
appearance of the neighborhood. |

The community clubhouse is the center of activity
and is home to a meeting room, a solarium, a pool table, a library
with books and videos, a reading area, a kitchen, a puzzle table,
card tables, a plant potting room, a workout exercise room and a spa
that is heated all year. Outside the clubhouse are tennis
courts, a shuffleboard court and a basketball court. The
Willows also has a professionally designed 800 square foot, 5-cup
putting green to help residents sharpen their short game. One
half mile of trails and wide, resident-only streets with little
traffic provide further opportunity to stay in shape by bicycling or
walking. For those who enjoy the open road but
who also enjoy staying home occasionally, the Willows has plenty of
RV parking and storage.
Located in a quiet, safe, rural environment, the Willows is just a
short way from the commercial centers of Camp Verde
(population 9,500) and Cottonwood where several first class medical
facilities are located; the VA hospital is 40 minutes away in
Prescott, and the Mayo Clinic is a little more than an hour away in
Phoenix. Most essentials can be found in Camp Verde, but the
larger cities of Flagstaff and Scottsdale are 46 miles and 76 miles
away, respectively, for more serious shopping and cultural needs.
This is central Arizona, so the weather is hot, and the skies are
sunny. Camp Verde is at elevation of 3,100 feet, and mountains
surround the town, but it is still hot. Summer temperatures
can reach 100 degrees or more, and winter daytime temperatures hover
in the 70s and 80s. Humidity does occur, thanks to
the River, but it rarely rains. The sun shines 90% of
the time.
