Arcadia community is a combination of old-Phoenix with modern appeal. Classic ranch style homes, Contemporary, Santa Barbara Tuscan, Victorian Style homes and many apartments, condominiums and patio homes built in the 30's, 40's and 50's to today surrounded by aged pine, eucalyptus trees and matured plant vegetation. Hard to believe you are living in the middle of the desert with all this greenery around you. In fact the city once amo nth opens the water lines and submerges everyone's front and backyard under water. This is the way the city conserves water and keep the community green. It is a quite housing community right off Camelback Road that extends East - West direction. If you need to shop or go to a restaurant you would go to the Biltmore area that is adjoining nearby and 5 minutes away. Home's in the Arcadia district depending on the location, year or if remodeled range in price from $550,000 to $4,500,000 and homes in the Biltmore area range from $700,000 to $7,250,000.

Scottsdale & North Scottsdale

Scottsdale

Scottsdale Road runs South to North and connects North Scottsdale and South Scottsdale, with the dividing point of the two at Frank Lloyd Wright Rd. It is all about location and having that convenience to jump on the 101 freeway and get to in minutes to fabulous shopping malls like Fashion Square, Scottsdale Quarters and Kierland Commons. North Scottsdale has a young bustling life of fun restaurants, bars, hotels, shops, business of every sector and golf courses. For this, there is a very high request for condo living for young first time buyers who desire to be in the middle of action but with a desert beauty. As you drive North on Scottsdale Road you begin to rise in elevation, so temperatures are slightly cooler and the panoramic views become more colorful taking you into a scenery of the far west. The single family homes are in gated and un gated communities with stucco South West features built in the 80's / 90's  and with breath taking views of McDowell Mountains and Camelback Mountains. Prices varie depending on the location, year, condition and the unit size. 

To the Southwest and Northwest regions of the quaint community of Fountain Hills are the McDowell Mountains, a chain of extinct volcanic mountains. The highest mountains in the range are East End 4,000 ft. elevation and Thompson Peak at 3,900 ft. This one of a kind panoramic patio view is what attracts buyers to this community. Located East of Scottsdale, Fountain Hills has the world's fourth tallest fountain in the center of town and your minutes from restaurants, schools, shopping, casino's golf an hiking in the McDowell Preserves. Enjoy the three annual art fairs and award winning performing arts theatre. The Spanish and Contemporary homes built in the late 1980's to 2015 are listed from $600,000 to $5,000,000 depending on size, location and amenities.

North Phoenix

Northern Phoenix has the Camelback Mountain and Phoenix Mountain Preserve that adds breath taking views to the custom, contemporary or classic ranch style homes located at the base of these mountains. You can still find ranch homes and horse properties from the 1950's, 1960's and 1970''s to flip or fix up. The zip code 85028 is an up and coming neighborhood because of the Interstate freeway 51 that was added  from 1987 - 2007 which makes it easy and accessible to the 101, 202 and 10 freeway. You are 15 minutes from the Phoenix Airport and 5 - 10 minutes to Paradise Valley shopping mall and endless restaurants to choose from. The schooling is excellent as well in this area. I live in this area and love the quiet and family like neighborhoods. There is strong safety awareness as well as block watches for the neighborhood. The Phoenix mountain preserve has miles of hiking trails or horseback riding as well. The Roadrunner park is great place for children to play baseball, football or tennis. On Saturday's there is a farmers market open to the public selling fresh local farm products. This is a great neighborhood to raise a young family or to buy your first home. The homes are starting from $150 -$230 a sq. ft.  

I live, work and play in this zip code 85028 and love being able to share my knowledge with my clients, making sure they are never left out of the loop of information. There is no “business as usual” because I am always searching new ground and thinking of innovative ways to better serve my clients, whether they are buying or selling a home.
