Kierland is one of those rare communities that truly has it all. Perfectly positioned where Scottsdale and Phoenix meet, this vibrant neighborhood stretches across 730 acres and puts you right in the heart of some of the best shopping, dining, and recreation Arizona has to offer.
At the center of the action is the iconic Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, a luxury destination that’s more than just a resort—it’s a lifestyle hub for the community. Golfers will love the 27 holes of championship play across the Acacia, Mesquite, and Ironwood courses, all expertly designed by Scott Miller and managed by Troon Golf. And for families, the resort’s “Fun in the Sun” water park is a favorite warm-weather hangout.
Kierland Commons, often referred to as an “urban village,” sits right next door. This stylish open-air shopping center spans 38 acres and is packed with upscale retailers like Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel, Michael Kors, and Banana Republic. Once you’ve had your fill of retail therapy, there’s no shortage of great dining options. Grab a table at The Mission, Maestro’s Ocean Club, or The Greene House—and don’t forget dessert at The Cheesecake Factory.
Cross Scottsdale Road and you’ll land at Scottsdale Quarter, another high-end hotspot featuring a mix of boutiques, restaurants, offices, and luxury condos. Big names like Apple, Lululemon, Urban Outfitters, and Pottery Barn make this a go-to destination, while foodies can enjoy everything from Dominick’s Steakhouse to True Food Kitchen and Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls.
When it comes to places to live, Kierland caters to just about every lifestyle. You’ll find everything from lock-and-leave condos and lofts at places like Kierland Greens, Kierland Heritage, Optima Kierland, and The Plaza Lofts, to beautiful single-family homes tucked inside the Bellaire neighborhood.
