Paulden
A variety of home styles in the Chino Valley
Paulden doesn’t have sidewalks, medians or much infrastructure. Instead, there is a sense of freedom when it comes to the appearance of private property. “You’ve got dirt roads and no [covenants, conditions and restrictions] governing whether the guy next to you has a whole bunch of junk in his front yard and you have a beautiful home,” says Smith. There are a variety of home styles in the neighborhood, from simple ranch-style and stick-built homes to properties designed after Italian Villas. Three-bedroom single-family homes with 1,500 to 3,000 square feet tend to sell for $450,000 to $950,000. Manufactured homes with three bedrooms and 900 to 1,500 square feet sell for $185,000 to $475,000. Homebuyers should know that Paulden scores a 2 out of 10 on the CAP Crime Index, lower than the national average of 4.Off-roading and horseback riding near Paulden
There aren’t any parks in Paulden, but the area’s desert landscape has public land that stretches out for miles in every direction, and combined with the size of most housing lots in the neighborhood, there is ample room for personal recreation. For more structured outdoor activities, Big Chino Ranch, located inside the neighborhood, offers land, training and obstacle courses for Paulden’s horse community. Trail riding adventures offered by the ranch traverse Paulden’s landscape and show off the four seasons of the area.
