Where Las Torres sits
Carefree sits at the northern edge of the Valley, tucked against the high Sonoran Desert just north of Scottsdale and beside Cave Creek. It’s a small, deliberately unhurried town — famous for its giant sundial, the Carefree Desert Gardens, art galleries, and a calendar of festivals, all set against Black Mountain and true dark skies. Scottsdale’s shopping, dining, and healthcare are a short drive south, and Phoenix Sky Harbor is roughly 40 minutes away. For buyers who want scenery, calm, and an upscale small-town feel, Carefree is hard to beat. Learn more from the Town of Carefree and Maricopa County.
The homes
Las Torres is made up of townhome-style condominium homes — low-maintenance, attached living where the association handles the building exteriors, grounds, and common areas. That’s the appeal: a real home in Carefree without the upkeep of a single-family property, and the freedom to lock the door and travel. Floor plans and updates vary from home to home, so touring a few is the best way to find your fit.
Buying a condo? With condominium ownership, the association’s health matters as much as the home itself — reserves, the current budget, and any special assessments. We’ll review the community documents with you and confirm exactly what your monthly fee covers before you commit.
HOA & fees (2026)
Las Torres carries a single monthly condominium assessment that funds the shared amenities and exterior upkeep. Here’s the 2026 picture:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| HOA assessment | $394 / month |
| Transfer fee | $300 |
| Resale disclosure fee | $277 |
Good to know: as a condominium, the monthly fee typically covers building exteriors, common-area maintenance, the pool and recreational facilities, and shared services — more than a typical single-family HOA, which is normal for condo living. The transfer and resale disclosure fees are one-time closing costs, and we’ll confirm the exact amounts and who pays what for your transaction. Figures are current for 2026 and can change. Before you buy, we’ll pull the current fees, the budget, and the community’s rules for the specific home.
Amenities & daily life
Las Torres offers a community swimming pool and recreational facilities — a genuine perk in a community this size, and part of what makes it stand out among small 55+ options up north. Day to day, though, the biggest amenity is Carefree itself: hiking on Black Mountain, the Desert Gardens and sundial in the town center, golf and dining nearby, and Cave Creek’s Western charm minutes away. It’s a quiet, scenic base with plenty to do just outside your door.

Worth knowing before you buy…
- These are condominiums — review the association’s budget and reserves, not just the home.
- The monthly fee is higher than a bare-bones HOA because it covers the pool, exteriors, and shared services.
- It’s a small community in a small town — wonderful for calm, farther from big-box shopping.
