Welcome to Old Town Scottsdale / South Scottsdale
If you're looking for a home in a centrally located residential community, South Scottsdale may be just the ticket to your dream. Roughly boundaried from McKellips Road north to Thomas Road on the south, this neighborhood is home to several major employers and is surrounded by grassy parks with upscale shopping and a bustling nightlife nearby. Along with close proximity to freeway access for business commuters and students, this newly revitalized, diverse and family-friendly area offers affordable housing and an unbeatable lifestyle.
The Neighbors
Diverse group of families, professionals, students, young adults, and retirees.
Following demolition of South Scottsdale’s Los Arcos Mall and other once-popular but now outdated strip malls in the community, the area has seen much improvement including the addition of Arizona State University's SkySong high-tech campus plus major employers such as HonorHealth and General Dynamics. Thanks to these and other high-dollar renovations — including the addition of new business, entertainment and retail shopping centers — residents of South Scottsdale have seen an increase in home values in the area.
