The questions I get asked again and again about living in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Comment GUIDE and I’ll send you my Local Scottsdale Guide.

For example, who’s the best florist in Scottsdale? Easy. The Flower Garage in North Scottsdale and Cactus Flower if I need something delivered the same day.

Or where do people go to celebrate something in Scottsdale? Café Monarch in Old Town Scottsdale, and book it at least two weeks out during high season. If you want something more relaxed and ingredient-driven, try FnB on Fifth Avenue.

This is most of what I actually do for clients moving to Scottsdale, Arizona, from out of state. The listings are the easy part. Knowing who to call in North Scottsdale, where to eat in Old Town, and which Scottsdale neighborhood actually fits your lifestyle is what takes years to learn.

If you’re moving to Scottsdale, Arizona, or anywhere across Maricopa County and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, I put the local side of Scottsdale in one place.
