Round Valley, AZ

Round Valley is a quiet rural community tucked just south of Payson along Highway 87. With around 500 residents, the area offers plenty of breathing room, open views of the foothills, and a relaxed mountain pace. Many homes sit on multi-acre parcels with horse facilities, quiet dirt lanes, and lots of space between neighbors. The valley began as ranching land in the late 1800s, and that wide-open feel still shapes the neighborhood today.

Living here gives you country seclusion with Payson's everyday conveniences just a short drive north. Residents head into town for groceries, healthcare, local dining, and schools in the Payson Unified School District. Highway 87 provides a direct route down to the Phoenix area, while the surrounding Tonto National Forest offers endless opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, and enjoying the cooler mountain weather.
