As a REALTOR based in North Scottsdale it never ceases to amaze me just how many people come to Arizona to purchase a second or vacation home. If you are just beginning you search how do you narrow down the areas you might be interested to search with a Real Estate Agent for property?

Well it’s a tough task that for sure because the Phoenix metro area is just over 9,000 square miles in area. That’s a lot of driving!

Here I’ll give you a few tips to help you narrow your search.

North Scottsdale

I am biased when I say North Scottsdale is my favorite area because thats where I both live and help the majority of my clients find property. Some of the key developments in this area are Silverleaf, DC Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch, Troon, Windgate Ranch and Pima Acres.

North Scottsdale has a very broad range of properties ranging from 800 square feet  condo’s to luxury estates over 20,000 sq ft. Trust me if you like great views, great neighbors and great real estate North Scottsdale is one of the first places to check.

Carefree / Cavecreek

Just a bit further to the north of the valley are the individual towns of Carefree and Cavecreek.

Carefree calls itself the best small town in Arizona. And many of the residents agree even there are still less than 4,000 today. But it seems so much more  people in the restaurants when the snowbirds are in town, my tip to eat is the delightful Cafe Bink btw.

Cavecreek has a mix of old western tourist places and luxury golf condo’s. You’ll see the place rocking with Harley’s come Bike Week too.

Paradise Valley

My second favorite area in the Phoenix Metro area. Home to celebs and some seriously rockstar Real Estate. Almost every home in Paradise Valley is a custom build, especially now. Some seriously amazing estates are nestled into the Camelback and Mummy mountains. The best thing about Paradise Valley for me is the mix of tranquil luxury real estate and yet the closeness to the best shopping and dining Scottsdale and Phoenix has to offer. Also its just a zip down Tatum to Sky Harbor airport.

Paradise Valley has some great places to hang out including the coolest Starbucks in the Phoenix area which is inside the Camelback Inn just off Lincoln Drive.

Scottsdale Waterfront / Old Town

Probably the closest to that urban living style, where shopping, dining, arts and entertainment is the Old Town and Waterfront areas. With a host of new luxury condo developments and an aggressive redevelopment process coming to fruition there area is starting to attract lots of empty nesters who are down sizing from North Scottsdale or Paradise Valley and looking for the busy urban feel. Its not quite the West Village New York yet but who knows maybe its moving in the right direction. So if its urban condo’s you are considering its a place to check out.

These are the areas I tend to search for homes for my clients most but don’t forget other great places in Arizona like, Fountain Hills, Tucson, Flagstaff and the amazingly beautiful Sedona.

There’s so many great areas in Scottsdale and Phoenix that I suggest you include the areas I mentioned in your search and to really help narrow that search make sure to use a Real Estate professional to help you buy your dream vacation home.

Benefits of Living in Arizona

Arizona is a unique place. It’s greatest attraction is it’s weather. That’s right, weather. It’s hard to believe that people are attracted to a desert because of weather but it is true. The dry air and warm winters attract visitors from the north. Some people with asthmatic tendencies respond better to the dry air. Older couples prefer Arizona’s weather for relief it gives them on their joints. And for the rest of the residents it is the fact that they can wear shorts in the middle of the winter.

It does get chili in Arizona, but freezes are rare and brief. The winter afternoons will require a sweater at most. The full sunshine helps a vast amount of plants to and flowers to grow even in the winter. The valley is full of life even in the darkest times of year.

Golfing is a big attraction. Enjoy the luxury south west in Scottsdale while playing 9 holes or so. Their is a variety of landscapes. Fountain hills has mountain vistas as far as the eye can see. North Mesa has views of City lights. And Scottsdale has a bit of everything. Paradise Valley is located right next to Phoenix but has the advantage of mountain side homes. Gilbert is located in the south east and was the fastest growing city in the nation for several years. Once a small rural farming town, it is now a well populated area with all the fancy restaurants and even an outdoor mall. How many outdoor malls do you know that strive during the winter months?

Well what about the heat. The summers are hot, there is no other way to say it. For those sun worshipers that won’t be a problem. For everybody else you will have to find ways to to avoid the heat. There are plenty of ways to avoid the heat, here are just a few.

There are many cooler places in Arizona. Fountain Hills resident’s can get to Payson in about 45 minutes. Payson is loaded with pine trees and is a high enough altitude that it snows in the winter. Some residents even have second homes there at very reasonable prices. If you are closer to phoenix just head north. You will run into flagstaff in about an hour and a half. Flagstaff also is packed with pines and even has a ski lift on on of it’s higher mountains during the winter.

If you don’t want to travel to far than you can stay cool in the lakes by boating. Or do what many of Arizona residents do and get a pool. Pools often or equipped with mechanisms to keep the pool at your ideal temperature. Surrounded by desert palms you can make your own oasis right in your back yard.

Everything is air conditioned from cars to grocery stores to stadiums. There are plenty of ways to stay cool in Arizona in the summer months. And I can bet that the 9 beautiful months a year will keep you happy.
