There are some great aspects of Scottsdale, and there is some really annoying things about Scottsdale. The area is very neat and clean! The mall around the area has many fancy and expensive places to go and experience new things! There are quite a few problems however. The first problem is that there are cameras at every light and will take pictures if you are speeding at all. It is very frustrating. The roads are horrible, and the people here are often stuck up and aggressive. Especially on the roads. I often struggle to get out of the house because I am stressed when I have to drive with people who are so stuck up and think that the road is theirs and theirs alone. The price of apartments and homes are too high for the quality of life. I think Scottsdale needs to change a lot of their scene to make it more appeasing to the middle class.
Scottsdale has been a great place to live overall. It is well maintained and has great shopping and dining choices offering a range of cuisine. It also is pretty low on crime and feels safe wherever you go. There are also lots of opportunities to be outside with parks and green belts and lots of community members made good use of them. It is nice to see so many people out walking, running, biking, etc. and does being in a sense of community which can be harder to find nowadays. Traveling through the city is also fairly convenience as the city runs more North to South which allows people to make use of the 101 freeway fairly easily. Main arteries also run along the city to make side streets a viable option when commuting. Although they can get busy during high commute times and street lights do add delay. There are some challenges though. Compared to other areas in the greater Phoenix area, Scottsdale has expensive real estate. More diversity is also needed!
Quiet and feel super safe at all times! I work the night shift and get home around 3AM and I do not feel scared walking into my apartment.
Very clean and the bike paths are amazing!
A ton of hiking around us.
Dog friendly, but there are javelina and coyotes. They do not typically engage with us, but do come out at night.
Old Town Scottsdale has an amazing night life! We are in North Scottsdale where it is a lot more quiet and family oriented.
