Why we love Scottsdale Urban Highrise

Scottsdale's urban highrise environment offers the best of amenity-rich collective living without the urban unpleasantness of their East Coast cousins.

Many if not most of the Scottsdale mid rise and high rise condos are in Downtown, home to restaurants, art, events, casual strolling shops and curiosities and auto-free living. The second cluster is farther north, near the similiar offerings of the Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons.

They tend to come with some of these features: gyms, pools, business centers, concierge services, security, and resident events. Many of them have views -- sometimes more than one -- and they make life simple and have services and fun nearby.

You can tell how popular this style of living in Scottsdale has become by the growth of these high-service buildings. If you're looking for a uniquely Scottsdale urban experience, you might consider this lifestyle.
