Scottsdale Arizona

December 10, 2007 by arizonan 

Scottsdale is located east of the city of Phoenix and makes up the majority of the Northeast Valley.  Tempe and Mesa are to the south of Scottsdale, separated by the usually dry Salt River.  The Salt River Indian Community runs most of the city’s eastern border.

Many Scottsdale residents use the Loop 101 to get around the Valley of the Sun.  The Loop 101 travels north and south, then curves and heads east and west.  Loop 202 edges the southern most boundary of the city of Scottsdale.  Gorgeous desert views, warm weather, and resort/spa style living are just some of the reasons people are drawn to the city of Scottsdale.

Golf is one outdoor sport that is very popular in Scottsdale.  With well over 40 courses to choose from, finding a course is easy.  However, deciding which golf course to play first is one decision that many Scottsdale residents spend time planning.

Indian Bend Wash is a centerpiece for Scottsdale.  The wash stretches north and south for several miles through most of the south central part of Scottsdale.  It creates a green ribbon of grass.  Along Indian Bend Wash, there are several parks, bike paths, fishing lakes, and recreational complexes.  This area is a popular spot all year round for visitors and residents alike.

Not only is Scottsdale a hip place to live, work, and play.  But, many people have been drawn to this city because of its excellent schools.  Providing a good education along with mature neighborhoods for a southwest living lifestyle is an important part of Scottsdale.

Even though ranching and cattle have left the city of Scottsdale, their mark is still left.  Through multi development community names, such as McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch, the history of Scottsdale lives on.  These planned communities provide homes for many people living in Scottsdale.  These neighborhoods offer a mix of residential offerings, including condominiums, patio homes, single family properties, and town homes.

Those seeking retirement have also selected the city of Scottsdale.  With outstanding medical facilities and hospital care, Scottsdale has become a top choice among retirees.  Scottsdale is the ideal city to reap rewards during retirement.

However Scottsdale apartments don’t always have everything.  Not enough rooms for all your needs (bedroom/den/dining room/etc.), ability to decorate/paint as you please, and the outdoor space (for cars, outdoor equipment, sports items, etc.) – these are just a few of the reasons why renting doesn’t always work out.

Many people discover that renting is not right for them.  Instead purchasing a home or condominium is in their best interest financially.  You might have homeownership in your future.  Complete the form below and find out today.

Scottsdale History

The city began back in 1888, when Army Chaplin Winfield Scott arrived in the area.  He began irrigating the land and later it became a small farming community.  Olive trees planted by Scott, himself can still be seen today in downtown Scottsdale.  The trees are located along the center of Second Street and down Civic Center Boulevard south down to Osborn.  These trees were planted to create a border of his original 40 acre orange grove.

Then in 1894, Albert Utley, a Rhode Island banker, purchased some land and subdivided it into town lots.  Utley name the town in honor of Winfield Scott and his early work in the community.  After World War II, the area grew into a small artist’s enclave.  The area did not really begin to grow and expand until 1920, when electricity became available.
