Short-term rentals: county permit
Unincorporated Coconino County (no HOA on most homes)
For most Munds Park homes, Coconino County's short-term rental ordinance is the rulebook: a $250 annual permit, an Arizona TPT license, notice to adjacent neighbors with a 24-hour contact, at least $500,000 in liability insurance, and no events. Since January 2026, a newly finished ADU can only be rented short-term if the owner lives on the property. The Pinewood Fairway condos and Foxboro Ranch Estates have their own HOAs, so their CC&Rs add a second layer to check.
Getting around
I-17 at Exit 322 (Pinewood Boulevard)
Target and Bashas' at Woodlands Village are about 20 minutes north on I-17; Safeway on Plaza Way, Sprouts, and Walmart about 21; Natural Grocers about 23; Whole Foods and Sam's Club about 24. For quick trips there's Woody's Food Store at the exit. Pulliam Airport is about 17 miles, NAU about 19, downtown Flagstaff about 21, and Flagstaff Medical Center about 22. Phoenix Sky Harbor is about 129 miles, roughly two hours.
Munds Park, also called Pinewood, sits along I-17 about 20 miles south of Flagstaff at about 6,500 feet. It is unincorporated Coconino County, so there is no city hall: Arizona Water Company runs the Pinewood water system, the Pinewood Sanitary District runs the sewer, and the Pinewood Fire District covers fire and emergency response. The 2020 Census counted 3,424 housing units but only 1,096 residents, and about 83 percent of the homes were counted as vacant, the mark of a second-home market that fills up in summer.
We've closed homes in Munds Park, and the owners who enjoy it most planned for the utilities, the winters, and the months the cabin sits empty before they fell for the view.
This is one of the busiest markets we cover. Over the last twelve months the MLS shows 137 closings: 86 single-family, 39 manufactured, 6 mobile homes, 3 townhomes, and 3 condos. Single-family homes sold between $355,000 and $2,375,000, with a median of $600,000 and the middle half between about $480,000 and $761,000. The typical house was about 1,580 square feet, built in 1984. Manufactured, mobile, townhome, and condo units ranged from $115,000 to $521,000. Median days on market was 66.
Life centers on Pinewood Country Club, a private, member-owned club with an 18-hole course that opened in 1959 and plays 6,625 yards, plus a restaurant, a heated pool, and racquet and pickleball courts. The club offers Social, Sports, and Golf memberships and does not publish its pricing. Lake O'Dell, a small reservoir on Munds Creek, is known for crappie, northern pike, and visiting bald eagles, and the Pinewood Farmers' Market runs Saturdays in summer. Every spring a Firewise clean-up hauls away residents' pine needles and yard debris, run by state crews in 2026.
Questions buyers ask us most about Munds Park
Is Munds Park on sewer or septic?
Most of Munds Park is served by the Pinewood Sanitary District's sewer system, but some homes and lots outside the system still use septic. It varies by parcel, so the seller's disclosure and the district's records settle it for a specific address, and a septic inspection belongs in the plan whenever there is one.

What's changing around Munds Park
An I-17 wildlife overpass, due this fall
ADOT is building a wildlife overpass on I-17 at milepost 327, between Munds Park and Kelly Canyon, and converting the right-of-way fencing along mileposts 322 to 331 to wildlife fencing. Completion is planned for fall 2026, with weekday daytime lane restrictions while crews work. Fewer elk and deer on the freeway is good news for anyone who drives this stretch at night.
azdot.govState crews take over the spring Firewise clean-up
The Highlands Fire District-based Bear Jaw fire and fuels crew disbanded in March 2026. The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management stepped in to run the annual Firewise clean-up for Munds Park, Kachina Village, Mountainaire, and Pine Del, collecting residents' pine needles and yard debris. Whether it continues past 2026 is worth watching.
knau.orgA new Pinewood fire station
Pinewood Fire District is replacing its 1973 Station 41 with an 11,500-square-foot, two-story station, funded by about $4.5 million in Proposition 446 bonds that voters approved in 2023. The schedule called for construction to wrap up in April 2026 and the station to be fully operational by summer 2026.
willmeng.comSewer plant repairs at the Pinewood Sanitary District
The Pinewood Sanitary District has been replacing aging equipment at its treatment plant. As of its November 2025 board meeting, new actuators were in, blower and control-system work was next, and the district was waiting on the next disbursement of a state WIFA loan. Sewer rates belong in the carrying-cost math for any home on the system.

What makes this neighborhood unique
Munds Park is the classic cabin escape from Phoenix summers: about two hours from the Valley, in the pines, with a private golf club, a lake, and a Saturday market all summer. Single-family homes start well below most Flagstaff neighborhoods, and most carry no HOA. The homework is the infrastructure: sewer or septic for the specific lot, winter access, and what it really costs to own a home you may only use part of the year, so those belong at the front of the plan.
