For those who are uninitiated, it may seem like Scottsdale is just another Phoenix suburb. Although it may look that way on a map, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Scottsdale has transformed itself from a tiny farming town into one of the most luxurious and cultural cities in the country. Scottsdale ranks among the most affluent communities in the country with an average house price of over a half million dollars.
However, there are still buying opportunities in the area. The recent real estate and mortgage meltdown has impacted sales in many areas of the country and Scottsdale is not immune. This turns into an opportunity for buyers as the inventory from which they can choose is at an all-time high.
Scottsdale is the perfect city to live in if golf is your sport. There is no need to get stuck playing the same local course over and over again. There are over 190 courses in the metropolitan area and several have been ranked amongst the best in the world by professional players. There is a variety of course types from traditional links to desertscape. PGA pros play Scottsdale’s courses regularly and many have chosen the city as their home. The Robb Report has named Scottsdale “America’s Best Place to Live for Golf”. Along with some of the world’s best golf courses come some of the best golf schools and instructors. Even if you are just learning the sport, Scottsdale’s golf pros can help you shine up your skills and play like a pro.
Those who like to enjoy the nightlife will be excited by downtown Scottsdale’s vast array of night clubs, bars and restaurants. There are over 70 night clubs and bars downtown and many are within walking distance of each other. This creates a kind of “traveling party” in the downtown as revelers make their way from one spot to another, the music following them down the street.
