Scottsdale, one of the largest municipalities in Maricopa County, is also one of Arizona’s most vibrant communities. With an estimated population of just over 246,000 in 2022, Scottsdale is an expansive municipality with a lower population density that ensures a leisurely lifestyle. In general, the city is known as an upscale destination for residents and thousands of tourists from across the United States each year. Thanks to our year-round good weather and activities such as The Phoenix Open, Spring Training Games, Nascar Events, Barrett Jackson Classic Car Auction, and a host of other events, it’s no wonder why so many people visit Scottsdale to visit two or three times a year.
Nicknamed the West’s Most Western town, Scottsdale has a distinctive mix of Classic Western culture, modern nightlife and almost a Miami Beach-type atmosphere. The city is bordered to the west by Phoenix and Paradise Valley, while Carefree is to the north, and Tempe, Fountain Hills and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to the east. Buyers will find a plethora of Scottsdale homes for sale, including those in planned communities like Grayhawk, DC Ranch, Gainey Ranch, Kierland, McCormick Ranch, McDowell Mountain Ranch, and Scottsdale Ranch.

Scottsdale Tourism
Scottsdale is made wealthy not only by its real estate properties but also by its tourism, accounting for almost 40% of all local jobs. Over seven million people visit Scottsdale every year, bringing in upwards of $3 billion annually. The area has over 70 resorts and hotels. Because this is an upscale city, most of the travelers are higher-end, white-collar workers.
The massive tourism of Scottsdale has elevated its real estate scene, affecting residential and commercial properties. Other industries have benefited from the attention, including golf courses, spas, convention centers, marketplaces and art festivals. Even Scottsdale homes for sale have been impacted.
Visitors and residents alike will find plenty to do. For golfing fun, try one of the resorts, such as The W, or Westin Kierland Resort and Spa, or one of the many public courses. Scottsdale actually has the highest number of spa centers per capita of any city nationwide! There are many trendy restaurants, nightclubs and art galleries in the city, and these bring in a younger, wealthier demographic. The art scene is thriving here thanks to organizations like the Scottsdale Arts Festival and the Scottsdale Arts District. Other popular events include the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and the month-long Scottsdale Jaycees Parada del Sol in Old Town.
