The Paradise Valley area is located right in the heart of the North East Valley. Since 2006 the Paradise Valley Chamber of Commerce has reached out to its local business community and the residents in the greater Paradise Valley area. 

The Paradise Valley Chamber of Commerce, LLC - (www.ParadiseValleyChamber.com) was founded on Feburay, 23 2006 by local business owners as a community chamber of commerce to serve the greater Paradise Valley area.

Residents attend schools in the Scottsdale Unified School District.

There is a Paradise Valley Unified School District, and it is one of the largest in the state, though like many other institutions with Paradise Valley's name, it operates in Phoenix.
