The tranquil little hamlet of Cornville, Arizona perches along Cornville Road, and consists mainly of a US Post Office, a couple of gas stations, a few stores, a new wine-tasting center, several very good restaurants, a bakery, Cornville Mercantile & Feed Store, two schools, a Veterinarian and a charming small park (Windmill Park) that borders Oak Creek. As far as the Sedona-Verde Valley Multiple Listing Service is concerned, the Cornville area includes several other small communities nearby, including Casey's Corner and Page Springs, all located in unincorporated Yavapai County in north central Arizona.
Page Springs is a burgeoning wine producing region, along with some vineyards that have started to spring up in other areas of the Verde Valley. Learn more about by following the Verde Valley Wine Trail.
The Oak Creek greenbelt area includes Page Springs, the Fish Hatchery, vineyards, and several increasingly well-known wineries. It offers both lush green irrigated properties fronting either Oak Creek or the Verde River and homes high on bluffs or hilltops with sweeping views of the Mingus Mountains or distant panoramas of the Red Rocks of Sedona. The National Audubon Society has named Lower Oak Creek as an Important Bird Area, which means it has been deemed to be an important habitat for the conservation of endangered or vulnerable bird species.
Cornville is mostly rural in character, however it is also home to the largest master-planned community in the Verde Valley: Verde Santa Fe.

It includes the area's only site-built 55+ Active Adult communities, as well as all-ages neighborhoods.
