Resorts, Golf and Real Estate

Phoenix, Arizona is the fifth largest city in the United States with a population of about 3.5 million. Scottsdale is one of several adjacent cities but is perhaps the most well-known. Although the two cities possess their own distinct personalities, Phoenix and Scottsdale run together (along with several other urban suburbs) making it difficult to distinguish where one city ends and the other begins. What results is a whole destination, the Valley of the Sun includes an affluent, upscale golf and spa community with a metropolitan cultural center that altogether draws 9 million visitors each year. With an average annual temperature of 72 degrees F and more than 330 days of sunshine each year, it is no wonder Scottsdale has become a “must do” for travelers across the globe. Explore our Scottsdale travel guide and discover how Old West charm and Southwestern hospitality will draw you in.
