Old Town Scottsdale real estate

Close to the energy.
Connected to the Valley.

Dining, art, events, shopping, and a level of walkability that is unusual in the Phoenix metro area.

Living near Old Town

Old Town is Scottsdale’s downtown, but it is not a single uniform neighborhood. Historic streets, arts and entertainment districts, newer residences, resort surroundings, and established homes sit within a compact part of the city.

I help buyers look beyond the distance to Old Town and understand the exact block, building, parking, noise, community rules, and real walkability that come with a property.

Homes and buildings

The area offers condos, townhomes, patio homes, older single-family neighborhoods, luxury residences, and renovated mid-century properties. Monthly fees, amenities, reserves, and rental policies can differ widely by community.

What to experience in person

Visit at the times you expect to be home. Traffic, events, nightlife, parking, and pedestrian activity can change by hour and season. A quiet weekday showing may not tell the entire story.

Due diligence for attached homes

Review HOA financials, insurance responsibilities, recent assessments, maintenance history, parking rights, pet rules, and rental restrictions with the appropriate professionals before deciding.

Common questions

Questions I hear
often.

Where does Old Town begin and end?

The City of Scottsdale’s adopted character-area plan generally places Old Town between Chaparral Road, Earll Drive, 68th Street, and Miller Road.

Is a car still useful?

Yes. Many Old Town destinations are walkable, but the broader Valley is spread out and daily needs vary by exact location.

Can I use an Old Town property as a short-term rental?

Rules can depend on city requirements, state law, and the specific HOA or community. Verify current restrictions before purchasing for that purpose.
