Scottsdale is known for its resort lifestyle - championship golf courses, spa resorts, and a shopping and gallery scene centered on Old Town Scottsdale, all set against the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains.

It's generally a higher price-point market than the rest of the East Valley, with everything from high-rise condos to sprawling desert estates.

What we tell buyers about Scottsdale
