SCOTTSDALE HOMES FOR SALE

This city is famous for its shopping, golf courses, nightlife, and housing. Interestingly Scottsdale is called "the West's Most Western Town." It still has rodeos, ranches, commemorative Pony Express runs, and the world's largest horse-drawn parade. But it now is one of the West's most modern cities, with some of the nation's best shopping, schools, golf courses, nightlife, and housing.

The city is home to incomparable events, including the nation's largest collector-car auction, the world's largest Arabian horse show, and the best-attended golf tournament on the PGA Tour.

It's all of this, and one of the most desirable places to live in metropolitan Phoenix.

Scottsdale offers a resort lifestyle, with so many restaurants you could eat at a different destination every night of the year, spas that cater to the Hollywood elite, and recreational opportunities that span everything from lush Sonoran Desert hikes to grassy neighborhood dog parks.

It is a place where you can settle into high-end, yet competitively priced homes, from multimillion-dollar mansions in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains to chic urban condominiums to classic ranch-style homes in historic neighborhoods.
