As the name suggests, Central Scottsdale is perfectly placed between North Scottsdale luxury and Old Town Scottsdale hot spots. This means Central Scottsdale has the best of both worlds.

The area is lush and luxurious. There’s miles of tree-lined greenbelt and multi-use paths. Camelback Mountain views. Exclusive golf courses. Sparkling lakes and waterfront lots. Private resort-like landscapes. Mediterranean architecture and much, much more.

Old Town Scottsdale Luxury Rentals & Real Estate Market
Old Town Scottsdale is a bustling downtown and world-renowned destination. While its history dates back to the late 1800s, there’s nothing “old” about Old Town. The upscale area only gets the latest and greatest. The best restaurant concepts from James Beard-nominated chefs. Trendy loft-style condos and high-end spaces that take advantage of indoor-outdoor living and extraordinary views. One direction may offer views of the city lights; another may overlook the Arizona canal and Camelback Mountain. Old Town Scottsdale is truly in the middle of it all.
Real estate is modern, sleek, upscale to match the surrounding luxury amenities. It’s walking distance to fine art, dining and sporting events, making luxury rentals enormously popular and a highly rewarding investment.
