The Ron L. Hubbard house is located in an iconic Phoenix neighborhood, right at the base of Camelback mountain.The mountain is a landmark on the Phoenix skyline. He occupied the house in 1952 and at the time the area would have been quite isolated. The house is a property of the Church of Scientology and it has been restored to its 1952 condition. The property is now surrounded almost entirely with a brick wall. Limited views are available through a portion of chain link fence. At this time the house is open for tours between 10:00am and 8:00pm.
