Welcome to the second installment of my 3-part series on luxury urban living in Scottsdale, AZ.

Phoenix residents, out of town visitors think of Scottsdale as a vacation destination or golf courses and famous spas.

This decade,  Scottsdale  has exploded in it development of its quiet western urban center to a hot , hip city center with Scottsdale best restaurants, shopping and social scene. We still call downtown Scottsdale,  Old Town Scottsdale. However, there is nothing old about it except its charm.

You can buy luxury condominiums,  contemporary town homes and ultra-modern lofts.

Please read yesterday’s article for more Scottsdale luxury condos and town homes. These are several more of the  popular Scottsdale condo communities that you should take a look:
