Scottsdale
Scottsdale, AZ has been called one of the
most luxurious destinations in the nation by the Travel Channel
and even “The Beverly Hills of the Desert” by the New York
Times. The architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright which is peppered
throughout the city combines with the Native American influence
to create a community which can boast the comforts of modern
living while still being able to carry the slogan of “the West’s
most western town.”
This diversity is reflected most evidently
in the wide array of artistic offerings of the city. Aside from
the Scottsdale Museum of Modern Art, the Heard Museum, and
Scottsdale’s Center for the Arts, the area’s number of art
galleries is second in the nation only to New York. Scottsdale
is also home to more than 200 golf courses spanning from
traditional layouts, to desert-style layouts. This is also the
home to the Phoenix Open golf tournament on the PGA tour and the
Ping LPGA Tournament along with many professional golfers.
Thanks in part to its popularity as a
tourism location, Scottsdale also has an active nightlife
comprised of many restaurants, bars and nightclubs which combine
to form an active southwestern-themed downtown area. This part
of town also includes Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, one of the
ten largest in America.
Scottsdale was originally inhabited by an ancient
farming civilization called the Hohokam who built over 125 miles
of irrigation caverns which survived and helped the first
European settlers of the area build the city which has steadily
grown over the past century into the thriving desert community
it is today. But don’t think Scottsdale has finished growing;
the area’s population, size, and quality of life continue to
rise as the Real Estate and tourism industries continue to
strengthen in support of a community which continues to be
recognized by such organizations as the US Conference of Mayors
with titles such as “Most Livable City in the United States.”
