No doubt, Scottsdale offers a great quality of life. But what makes a Scottsdale neighborhood great? AZCentral.com says the city is family friendly, has a diverse group of residents, and offers a rural feeling.
Beyond that, there are three luxury communities in Scottsdale the online publication rates as tops.
The first one is Scottsdale Horizon Community. It’s home to the 15,000 square-foot Horizon Park and Community Center.
Number two is the Hacienda Del Ray Community. It offers a diverse demographic and you can’t beat the proximity to other valley cities. The community is only a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Phoenix and a 10 minute drive to Tempe. Residents also share a private park and an orchard and herb garden.
The third honor goes to Cactus Acres. Homes sit on one acre with very few having sidewalks. You’ll also find several horse trails. Cactus Acres is filled with visiting horses, especially during the Arabian Horse Show. You’ll even find a camel at Cactus Acres. You’ll frequently see it since the owner likes taking it for walks.
