The Heart of Scottsdale Real Estate Communities

After moving to Scottsdale real estate I decided to start a REALTOR? tour that would cover the areas I believed to be ?the heart of Scottsdale.? I especially like the middle area of this beautiful city because you are within a five- to ten-minute drive of either the charming Old Town area with its wonderful arts district ? what most attracted me to Scottsdale in the first place ? or the open-air, upscale feel of Kierland Commons, where you are treated to the best of shops and restaurants. Of course, the same can be said of downtown!

Two of my favorite local communities are also located in the city?s central core. One of them is McCormick Ranch, which did indeed get its start back in 1942 as a real, working 160-acre ranch. To learn more about this most attractive of residential enclaves by visiting MccormickRanchPOA to find out all kinds of information about one of the largest planned developments in the United States.

Another community I highly recommend taking a look at is nearby Scottsdale Ranch. There are more than forty neighborhoods in this ?ranch,? which includes a lake, a park and more. Visit their website to learn more about Scottsdale Ranch.

One great delight is walking on the greenbelt that meanders for many, many miles through Scottsdale; at times, you can even see it as you drive north on Hayden Road. And, of course, who doesn?t like to golf, hike or climb mountains? All these activities are part of the outdoor lifestyle that draws so many people to these desirable communities in this warm and welcoming city.

Check out these communities ? either online or, better yet, in person ? and get a sense of why so many folks say Scottsdale is one of the best places to visit and call home!
