| AZ people. What's the lowdown on Scottsdale?
Looks like my parents are moving out there in a couple of weeks.
I've heard it's a nice area from a couple of people but would like some info from the locals.  |

| Re: AZ people. I live in Scottsdale.. It's beautiful here.. my wife and I really enjoy it. We're both from the east coast, and when we go back there, we're glad to return home to AZ. There is so much to do here, and if your mom is anything like my wife and likes to shop, she'll be in heaven.. any other questions, let me know. |

| Re: AZ people. It's hot!! But only for a little while and the rest of the year it's beautiful. Scottsdale is a very nice upper class area, but the closer you get to Phoenix, the worse it becomes. |

| Re: AZ people. Thanks for the info guys.  Looks like I may be taking a quick trip out there to help them move in a couple of weeks so I might get to take a look at it for myself. |

| Re: AZ people. Post up when you may be in the area, could always drive up from Tucson and meet another .orger.
Scottsdale is a nice area like Nickelii says. Lots of money there. |

| Re: AZ people. Is Luke AFB in Scottsdale? Or is it in the part that starts to get worse as you head towards Phoenix? I will be moving with my wife/kids out there next summer. |

| Re: AZ people. Luke AFB is in Glendale, which is 50 miles or so west of Scottsdale. It's a decent area, just not alot out there, but growing very fast. Near Luke, you'd be about 20 min away from downtown Phoenix. You'd be very close to the new Cardinals stadium. |

There is plenty of stuff to see and do in the west valley. It's growing everday and the wife and I find that we rarely need to head into Phoenix. Pm or call me if you need any information on anything, especially when buying or renting a home.
