Living in Scottsdale, Arizona
Scottsdale sits directly east of Phoenix in Maricopa County and has grown from a small desert town founded in 1888 into one of Arizona's most prestigious addresses and an internationally recognized destination. Below is what buyers relocating to or moving within the city most want to know.
Resorts, Golf & Recreation
Scottsdale is famous for world-class resorts and spas — The Phoenician, Four Seasons, Fairmont Princess — and for golf, with more than 200 courses in the greater area. TPC Scottsdale hosts the WM Phoenix Open, the most-attended event on the PGA Tour. Beyond the fairways, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve protects 30,000+ acres of desert with 200+ miles of hiking and biking trails, and spring training baseball fills Scottsdale Stadium each February.
Arts, Culture & Old Town
Historic Old Town blends Western heritage with a walkable, modern downtown of galleries, restaurants, and nightlife. The area supports hundreds of art galleries, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and marquee annual events including the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction and the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show. Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — anchors the city's architectural legacy.
Neighborhoods
Scottsdale's neighborhoods span a wide range. South Scottsdale offers the most affordable entry points with easy Phoenix access. Central communities like McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch provide established homes with golf and lakes. North Scottsdale holds the marquee master-planned and guard-gated communities — DC Ranch, Silverleaf, Grayhawk, and Troon — with resort amenities, mountain views, and custom estates approaching the Paradise Valley border.
Climate, Schools & Economy
Expect a hot desert climate: summers regularly hit 105–115°F (air conditioning is essential) while winters are mild and ideal, in the 60s–70s, with 300+ days of sunshine a year. The Scottsdale Unified School District is consistently well-rated and a major draw for families. The local economy runs on tourism and hospitality, healthcare (HonorHealth, with Mayo Clinic nearby), and a growing technology sector centered on the Scottsdale Airpark business hub.
