AVE Paradise Valley has earned a spot in AZ Foothills Magazine's Best Places to Live 2025 feature, highlighted as part of the broader transformation taking shape at the former Paradise Valley Mall site. The magazine points to Paradise Valley's desert landscapes, mountain views, and access to outdoor recreation as long-standing reasons the area remains one of Phoenix's most desirable communities, and notes that the $2 billion PV Redevelopment project is bringing new energy to the neighborhood through 2025 and 2026.
Within this walkable, mixed-use district, AVE Paradise Valley stands out as the 400-apartment luxury residential community anchoring the redevelopment. The magazine notes the community's proximity to sought-after neighborhoods like Equestrian Manor and Mockingbird Lane Estates, along with easy access to top-rated schools and some of the Valley's most popular hiking and biking trails at Piestewa Peak and the Phoenix Mountains Preserve.
The feature also highlights the growing lineup of retail and dining joining the district, including an on-site Whole Foods Market, Sephora, JCPenney, and Life Time Fitness — set to open its Life Time Living luxury apartments nearby in 2026 — giving residents even more reason to love calling Paradise Valley home.
