If shopping was a sport, Scottsdale is a race track!

Wendy Cracchiolo — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 10:19:26 +0000

With soo many great reasons to visit or live in Scottsdale, Arizona…SHOPPING is its best asset!

All the way up and down Scottsdale road there are thousands of stores, featured inside the many shopping centers. Kierland is one of the most beautiful outdoor malls in the vallley, with an excellent selection of stores including, J.Crew, Victoria’s Secret, Anthropology (one of my favorites) Coldwater Creek, an enormous Border’s Books and many, many more great shops. The restaurant selection is also abundant with 2 of Sam Foxs’ restaurants, The Greene House & North, a Tommy Bahamas Restaurant, Starbucks, Cold Stone Creamery and a home town favorite , Zinc Bistro. The food is always delicious–must try the french fries, and a great wine selection–Zinc Bistro reminds me of being on the Titanic–it has that turn of the century feel, with very delicious and updated cuisine.

After a long day of shopping, you can visit any number of bars and restaurants, enjoy the cool air conditioning, rest your feet and spend some quality time while enjoying some good eats and drinks!

Across the street from Kierland, you will find a brand new, very fun and funky outdoor mall called the Scottsdale Quarter http://www.scottsdalequarter.com/ I really love this new mall because it is home to the international clothing retailer H&M, one of my favorites, and then West Elm and William Sonoma Home–2 amazing home furnishing stores , one high end and one for the first time home buyer (West Elm is very similar to the Ikea look and feel ) that are brought to us by the same corporation as the Williams Sonoma stores. With plans for up to 10 chic, new restaurants. The Oakville Grocery is already a huge hit, stay for lunch or just as easily grab a gourmet meal to go!

As your real estate professional for the Scottsdale/ Paradise Valley area…make sure you make an appointment with me, Wendy Cracchiolo, with eXp Realty, to preview some of the most beautiful homes that are flooding our market and the prices have never been so low. Great selection and very motivated sellers!

Don’t forget–only an hour flight to jet up to Vegas and make it legal! From in town to all across the state–Arizona boasts the Grand Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, Lake Powell, the Petrified Forest (not scary at all!! lol) and little hide away towns like the ultra romantic Sedona, the artys-fartsy Jerome, the totally cool and comfortable Flagstaff, and the low-key Tucson, among many other towns and cities in Arizona you don’t want to miss!

All the luxury hotels offer the best in spa services–have you and your partner ever enjoyed side by side massages in your hotel room? Now that is a treat!

Hiking in Scottsdale

Joann Boyd — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:11:07 +0000

One of the great things to do outside in Scottsdale during most of the year (excluding the summer months) is to go for a hike. And talk about some beautiful scenery! The views seems to go on forever. One of my favorite places to hike is Pinnacle Peak. This is a popular hike though, and sometimes it can be a little crowded. You’ll even see the occasional rock climber hanging from a ledge. This trail is considered “moderate” and it covers 1 3/4 miles with an elevation of approximately 1300 feet.

Another very popular trail is Camelback Mountain. Located in Phoenix, around Camelback and 48th Street, this trail is more for the intermediate to experienced. The McDowell Mountain Regional Park offers a variety of trails and also bike riding paths.

Go to www.scottsdale-attractions.10-best.info/outdoors.html to find out about all of the trails that are in the area. With over twenty to choose from, you will easily be able to find one that fits your physical level. Hiking…yet another reason to enjoy the great outdoors in Arizona!
