About Scottsdale, AZ

If you had predicted 50 years ago that an urban oasis would grow out of the desert to be one of the most popular cities in North America, most people would have thought you were crazy. But today, Phoenix, and its surrounding cities like Scottsdale, are some of the most popular real estate addresses out there. Phoenix has ballooned into one of the most popular spots in the country thanks to high paying jobs, beautiful scenery and a low cost of living. Scottsdale has grown side by side with Phoenix and today, it has a population of over 240,000. The Phoenix area as a whole has a population of over 4 million! A Scottsdale apartment is just about the best way you can explore this beautiful city.

Scottsdale has made its name in the Phoenix area as being the home of many high rollers and famous folks who have chosen to make the desert southwest their home. That doesn’t mean you have to be rich to enjoy this spot, but it sure helps! Scottsdale has attempted to establish itself as the arts and theatre center of Phoenix. There are many excellent venues throughout the Scottsdale area that are perfect for theatre, both local and national. Another way in which Scottsdale has tried to separate itself as being an elite destination for folks is by opening many art galleries. At last check, there are over 125 different art galleries in Scottsdale alone, making it one of the most art rich areas in the country. No matter what sort of art you enjoy, you are sure to find what you like right here.

As wonderful as the art and theatre is here in Scottsdale, nothing tops the sun and the warm temperatures. While the high end nature of Scottsdale may attract a few thousand people here, the sun and the lack of snow attracts even more. The novelty of watching the news about the latest snow storm while it is 65 degrees and sunny outside never really gets old. Just ask the people who already live here. Things can get a little crazy during the summer, but for the other 8 months of the year, Scottsdale has some of the best weather anywhere.

If you are in the market for a studio Scottsdale apartment, you can expect to pay $525-$800 per month.

A two bedroom Scottsdale apartment will generally go for $800 and a three bedroom or larger Scottsdale apartment will go for $1100 or more. As you can see, the cost of living here is very reasonable for such a high end area.
