Linden in Two Minutes
Linden is a wooded, unincorporated community strung along Highway 260 right between Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside. It gives you a genuine country-in-the-pines feel with larger lots and a relaxed pace, while keeping both towns and their services just minutes away.
At mid-elevation you get cool summers and four real seasons under the ponderosas. It is a favorite for full-time residents and second-home owners who want space and quiet without being far from shopping, dining, or the lakes.
