The Quail Run Villas are a “Celebration of Life!”

Located in one of Fountain Hills’ most desirable locations, the 88-unit condo conversion project has undergone a barrage of upgrades to enhance the property and the value. The complex, located on 16657 E. Gunsight Drive in Fountain Hills, Quail Run features close proximity to all the amenities Fountain Hills has to offer.

Al Miller and Bev Shepard of ReMax 2000 represent the property. Shepard and her husband recently bought one of the villas as an investment.

“We really believe in the project,” she said. “The villas are a great value.”

Al Miller stated one of the two-bedroom units purchased recently for $205,500 was appraised for $213,000.

“Equity is what the buyer is looking for,” Miller said. “The price and value include substantial upgrades with forever mountain and fountain views throughout the property, in the center of town.”

Quail Run features 88 units; 44 are two-bedroom condos, and the other 44 are one-bedroom. All feature 16-inch travertine-look ceramic tile, all new kitchen appliances, including washers and dryers, extremely  upgraded carpet, new countertops and sinks and new window treatments. The villas have been renovated inside and out.

“The one-bedroom units are $169,000,” Al Miller said. “This is great value and equity within the epicenter of Fountain Hills.”

Quail Run was built in 1986. Shepard said the buildings are unique in that each unit had separate utilities, as well as a concrete pad separating the first floor from the second. There are 11 buildings with eight units in each. Each unit has four one-bedroom villas, and four two-bedroom villas.

“These were built very well,” she said. “They were meant to be converted to condos, it seems.”

The project is located on five acres, so there is an open feel to the property. Many of the villas have great views, and the location next to an arroyo on the south side of the property enhances the appeal.

“It is very private, quiet and comfortable here,” Al Miller said. “The property is quite beautiful.”

The property features mature landscaping, and offers a ramada, heated pool and spa for the ownership. A clubhouse is being planned.

Sales of the villas just started in August. Miller and Shepard said they are extremely happy with the activity. Approximately 75 percent of the villas are available for sale, and Miller said they are looking forward to the arrival of winter visitors.

“The villas are a great opportunity for people to live in year ‘round, or part-time. There is nothing else like it within this vicinity and the attractive price range” hel said.

There are wonderful incentives for owner occupants and secondary residents at this time. An extendable home warranty that is given to the new ownership adds even more comfort to a great investment.

“This is an opportunity for people looking for a residence that will enjoy a walk to Fountain Park, restaurants, shopping and all the town’s present and future amenities,” Al Miller said. “The incentives are available, and we think people will certainly take advantage of them.”

A grand opening is planned for Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 18 and 19. There will be refreshments, give-aways and prizes. The villa ownership is participating, and Miller said that will enable him and Shepard to host a “great grand opening.”

Miller added that the owners have been “incredible.

“They are a family-owned development company, and they believe in the concept we have here. They want the villas to be a great value and have priced them to reflect our philosophy.”
