THE EDGE

ABOUT THE NORTH SCOTTSDALE AREA

North Scottsdale has been described as the crown jewel of the Valley in recent years. It is a popular destination for year-round residents and international second-home owners. The serenity of the Sonoran Desert has been presented through careful city planning amid vast strides toward the development of the conveniences for its residents. Innovative architecture and design, security, world class amenities surrounded by the panoramic Arizona horizons, and desert botanicals are the elements that come together to distinguish North Scottsdale from neighboring communities. Looking forward, the picture becomes even more compelling. In addition to immediate access to any place in the Valley via the Loop 101 freeway, major proposed mixed-use developments currently in the works will provide a further high end concentration of leading edge recreational, shopping, dining and entertainment experiences, while a scarcity of land for further residential development make for an appealing combination of dwindling supply (less than 4000 acres left in all of Scottsdale earmarked for residential development) and ever-increasing demand — luxurious, sensible living for those in-the-know with foresight, located at the nexus of North Scottsdale.
