Scottsdale’s vibrant downtown core — the Arts District galleries, Fashion Square, the Entertainment District, Scottsdale Stadium and Giants spring training, the Museum of the West, and the Waterfront. Luxury high-rise condos at Optima, Scottsdale Waterfront Residences, Inspire, and Envy, plus historic single-family in adjacent districts. The Phoenix metro’s premier lock-and-leave, walk-everywhere lifestyle market.
Old Town Scottsdale is the most distinctive real estate market in the entire Phoenix metro — a genuinely walkable, luxury downtown core that has no real substitute anywhere in the Valley. It is where Scottsdale’s art galleries, fine dining, nightlife, luxury retail, and resort-grade condo towers converge into a few square miles you can experience entirely on foot. For buyers who want to live in the center of the action rather than commute to it, Old Town is in a category of one.
Ryan has guided second-home buyers from California, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and Canada who want a lock-and-leave Scottsdale base; professionals who want to live where they work, eat, and socialize without a car; and investors evaluating Old Town condos against Scottsdale’s evolving short-term rental rules and individual building restrictions. Old Town rewards an agent who knows the buildings, the HOA realities, the STR landscape, and the block-by-block character — Ryan does.

Old Town Scottsdale is the historic, walkable downtown heart of Scottsdale, Arizona — centered in zip code 85251 and anchored by Scottsdale Road, Main Street, Marshall Way, the Entertainment District, and the Scottsdale Waterfront. It is the rare place in the Phoenix metro where you can step out of your front door and walk to galleries, a world-class shopping mall, dozens of restaurants and bars, a Major League spring training ballpark, museums, and a canal-front promenade — all without getting in a car. That walkability is the single defining feature of Old Town and the reason its real estate trades at a premium the rest of the metro simply cannot replicate.
What makes Old Town distinctive is the convergence of several identities in one compact district: the Scottsdale Arts District, with its concentration of fine-art galleries along Main Street and Marshall Way and the long-running Thursday night ArtWalk; the Scottsdale Fashion Square, one of the largest and most upscale shopping destinations in the Southwest; the Entertainment District, the metro’s premier concentration of nightlife and dining; Scottsdale Stadium, the intimate downtown ballpark that hosts San Francisco Giants spring training; Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West; and the Scottsdale Waterfront and Arizona Canal, which have transformed the area into a genuine urban promenade.
The Old Town housing market is led by condominiums — from older mid-century low-rise complexes and updated mid-tier buildings to a growing collection of luxury high-rise towers including Optima, Scottsdale Waterfront Residences, Inspire, and Envy. Surrounding the commercial core, adjacent residential districts hold historic single-family homes, including the Historic Old Town neighborhoods, where mid-century and ranch architecture sits within walking distance of downtown. The combined effect is a market that serves professionals, second-home buyers, and investors more than traditional school-age families — a buyer mix unique within the metro.
Old Town’s appeal is fundamentally a lifestyle and lock-and-leave story. Many owners are part-time residents — snowbirds and second-home buyers who want a turnkey, secure, amenity-rich base they can leave for months and return to without yard maintenance or worry. The condo-dominant inventory, building security, concierge and HOA-managed services, and downtown location make Old Town the metro’s clearest answer for that buyer. It is also one of the most globally recognized luxury submarkets in Arizona, which supports both resale demand and long-term value.
No other neighborhood in metro Phoenix offers this density of culture, commerce, and recreation in a walkable footprint. Old Town residents live within a short stroll of fine-art galleries, a luxury shopping mall, the metro’s premier nightlife district, a Major League ballpark, museums, and a canal-front promenade. The lifestyle is the product — and it is what justifies the price-per-square-foot premium that Old Town condos command over comparable square footage elsewhere in the Valley.
The galleries of Main Street and Marshall Way form one of the largest concentrations of fine-art dealers in the Southwest. The long-running Thursday evening ArtWalk — a free weekly event where galleries open their doors to the public — is a defining Old Town tradition that draws residents and visitors alike. Living steps from the Arts District is a genuine cultural amenity, not a marketing line.
One of the largest and most upscale shopping malls in the Southwest sits at the northern edge of Old Town — anchoring luxury retail, flagship boutiques, dining, and a continually expanding mixed-use footprint. For Old Town condo owners, world-class shopping is a walk or a few-minute drive away, a convenience that materially shapes the daily lifestyle the district offers.
Old Town’s Entertainment District is the metro’s premier concentration of nightlife, bars, lounges, and late-night dining — the social heartbeat of downtown Scottsdale. Proximity to the Entertainment District is a major draw for some buyers and a consideration for others; Ryan helps buyers choose buildings and units positioned for the right balance of vibrancy versus quiet, since location within Old Town matters block by block.
Scottsdale Stadium, an intimate downtown ballpark, hosts San Francisco Giants spring training each February and March — one of the most charming and walkable Cactus League venues in Arizona. For Old Town residents, big-league spring baseball is a neighborhood amenity within walking distance, and the spring season brings a seasonal surge of visitor demand to the district.
Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West is a Smithsonian-affiliated museum at the heart of Old Town, celebrating the art and culture of the American West. Alongside Scottsdale’s broader arts institutions and public art program, it anchors the district’s identity as a genuine cultural destination — not merely a dining and nightlife strip.
The Scottsdale Waterfront and the Arizona Canal promenade transformed the area into a true urban riverfront-style district — shops, restaurants, public art, and pedestrian bridges lining the canal. Several of Old Town’s luxury condo buildings sit directly on or near the Waterfront, offering canal and city views and immediate access to the promenade lifestyle.
A True Walk-Everywhere District: Old Town Scottsdale is among the most walkable places in the entire Phoenix metropolitan area — a region otherwise defined by car-dependent suburbs. From the right Old Town condo, daily life — coffee, dining, galleries, shopping, nightlife, the ballpark, the canal — happens on foot. That walkability is rare, irreplaceable, and the foundation of Old Town’s enduring value. For buyers relocating from genuinely walkable cities who fear the Valley is “all freeways,” Old Town is the answer that changes their entire impression of Scottsdale living.
Old Town Scottsdale holds the densest concentration of luxury high-rise and mid-rise condominium living in the entire Phoenix metro — a genuine vertical, urban housing market in a region otherwise dominated by single-family sprawl. From resort-style amenity buildings to architecturally significant towers, the Old Town condo market spans entry-level units near $350K to luxury penthouses well past $3M. Knowing the buildings — their HOA financials, rental rules, amenity packages, view profiles, and resale histories — is the single most important factor in buying well here. Ryan evaluates Old Town purchases building-by-building, not block-by-block.
The Optima communities are among Old Town’s most recognizable luxury condo addresses — known for distinctive contemporary architecture, lush vertical landscaping, and resort-grade amenity packages including pools, fitness, sport courts, and concierge-level service. Optima units command strong premiums and attract second-home buyers and professionals who want full-service, lock-and-leave luxury in the heart of downtown. Ryan helps buyers understand which floor plans, exposures, and amenity levels justify the pricing.
The Scottsdale Waterfront Residences sit directly on the Arizona Canal promenade, offering one of the most coveted addresses in Old Town — canal and city views, direct access to the Waterfront shops and restaurants, and a true walk-out-the-door urban lifestyle. Waterfront units are among the most sought-after in the district and trade accordingly. The combination of location, views, and amenities makes this a flagship Old Town luxury building.
Inspire represents Old Town’s newer generation of luxury condo development — contemporary design, elevated finishes, and amenity packages built for the modern lock-and-leave luxury buyer. Newer construction in Old Town signals continued developer confidence in the downtown core and gives buyers a turnkey alternative to renovating older inventory. Ryan tracks new-construction condo releases and resale availability across these buildings.
Envy is among the boutique luxury condo offerings that have expanded Old Town’s high-end vertical inventory, appealing to buyers who want a smaller, design-forward building with a curated amenity set in a premium downtown location. Boutique buildings often carry different HOA structures and rental rules than the large towers — differences Ryan reviews carefully with every buyer before an offer is written.
Condo Buying in Old Town Is About the Building, Not Just the Unit: In a condo-dominant market, the HOA is as important as the home. Ryan’s Old Town condo due diligence includes reviewing HOA monthly dues and what they cover, reserve fund health and any pending special assessments, rental and minimum-stay restrictions, pet and renovation rules, the building’s litigation history, and lender warrantability (which affects financing). A beautiful unit in a financially troubled or rental-restricted building can be a poor purchase; Ryan makes sure buyers understand the full picture before they commit. Arizona’s 10-day BINSR inspection window applies to condos too — and Ryan uses it to dig into building-level issues, not just the four walls of the unit.
Old Town is not a single uniform neighborhood — it is a collection of distinct districts and streets, each with its own character, that together make up the downtown core. Understanding the differences is essential to choosing the right address, because the experience of living near the Entertainment District is very different from living in the quieter historic residential streets or on the Waterfront. Ryan helps buyers match their lifestyle to the right pocket of Old Town.
The cultural spine of Old Town — lined with fine-art galleries, the Thursday ArtWalk, boutiques, and cafes. Living near Main Street and Marshall Way puts you in the heart of the Arts District, a more refined and gallery-focused stretch of downtown that contrasts with the higher-energy Entertainment District a few blocks away.
The metro’s premier nightlife and dining concentration. Buyers who want to be at the center of the social scene gravitate here; buyers seeking quiet should weigh proximity carefully, as weekend evenings are lively. Ryan advises on which buildings and exposures buffer noise while keeping you walkable to it all.
The canal-front promenade and the luxury condos along it represent Old Town’s most coveted addresses — views, water, restaurants, and the Fashion Square bridge connecting it all. Waterfront living is the premium end of the Old Town lifestyle, blending the walkability of downtown with a softer, scenic setting.
Surrounding the commercial core, the historic residential districts hold mid-century and ranch single-family homes within walking distance of downtown. For buyers who want a yard, a casita, and a detached home but still crave walkability, these adjacent districts are Old Town’s answer — rare and highly sought after.
The northern edge of Old Town near Scottsdale Fashion Square blends luxury retail, newer mixed-use development, and high-rise condos. This pocket appeals to buyers who prioritize shopping, dining, and a more polished, modern urban environment at the top of the downtown core.
Around the Civic Center, the Museum of the West, and Scottsdale’s arts and performing-arts venues, Old Town takes on a calmer, cultural character. Proximity to the civic and museum core offers a refined, walkable lifestyle anchored in arts and community events rather than nightlife.
Ryan’s Old Town assessment: The biggest mistake buyers make in Old Town is treating it as one neighborhood and shopping by price alone. The right address depends entirely on how you intend to live — a quiet lock-and-leave second home calls for a different building and block than a high-energy primary residence built around the Entertainment District. Ryan’s job is to translate your lifestyle into the specific buildings, streets, and exposures that fit, then handle the building-level due diligence that protects your investment. In a market this nuanced, local building knowledge is the difference between a great purchase and an expensive lesson.
Old Town pricing spans an unusually wide range for a single district — from accessible entry condos in older complexes to ultra-luxury penthouses in the signature towers, plus a separate market for historic single-family homes in the adjacent districts. Because Arizona is a non-disclosure state, actual sold prices are not part of the public record, which makes MLS access to real closed comparables essential for accurate pricing. The figures below reflect typical 2026 ranges; Ryan provides precise, building-specific comps for any unit or block under consideration.
Why Old Town Commands a Premium Per Square Foot: Buyers comparing Old Town condos to suburban single-family homes on a price-per-square-foot basis often experience sticker shock — and they should understand why. You are not paying for square footage in Old Town; you are paying for an irreplaceable walkable downtown location, full-service condo living, resort-grade amenities, and a globally recognized luxury address. The HOA dues that come with luxury condo ownership cover building maintenance, amenities, security, and often water and exterior insurance — costs that single-family owners pay separately. Ryan helps buyers run a true total-cost comparison and understand that Old Town’s value proposition is lifestyle and location, not raw square footage. For the right buyer, no other Valley market substitutes.
Old Town Scottsdale is one of the metro’s most resilient investment markets — but investing here intelligently requires understanding Arizona’s evolving short-term rental landscape, Scottsdale’s strict local STR ordinances, and the rental restrictions that individual buildings impose. Many investors are drawn to Old Town by its tourism and Entertainment District demand, then discover that the specific building they want prohibits short-term rentals entirely. Ryan separates the investment thesis from the wishful thinking, building by building.
Arizona permits short-term rentals statewide, but Scottsdale has enacted some of the strictest local STR regulations in the state — mandatory city licensing, background-check requirements, liability insurance minimums, posted emergency contacts, occupancy limits, and meaningful fines for violations. Any STR investment thesis in Old Town must start with current City of Scottsdale licensing compliance.
Beyond city rules, individual Old Town condo buildings frequently impose their own minimum-stay requirements — commonly 30-day or longer minimums — or prohibit short-term rentals outright. The building’s CC&Rs govern, and they vary widely. Ryan verifies each building’s actual rental rules before an offer, so investors never purchase on a flawed rental assumption.
Old Town benefits from year-round tourism, spring training, golf-season visitors, the WM Phoenix Open nearby, art and culinary events, and a robust convention and group-travel calendar. Where rentals are permitted, this demand supports strong occupancy — particularly during the high season from January through April, which drives premium seasonal rates.
For investors whose buildings restrict short-term stays, Old Town’s deep pool of seasonal renters, traveling professionals, and snowbirds supports a strong 30-day-plus and seasonal-lease market. Many owners offset carrying costs with seasonal rentals during months they are away — a model that complies with most building rules and Scottsdale’s ordinances.
The strongest investment case for Old Town is not cash flow — it is the irreplaceable walkable downtown location and Scottsdale’s globally recognized luxury brand. Continued luxury condo development signals sustained developer confidence, and limited supply of true walkable downtown product in the metro supports long-term value through market cycles.
Luxury condo investing carries HOA dues and the risk of special assessments that can materially affect returns. Ryan reviews each building’s reserve health and assessment history as part of due diligence, so investors price the real carrying cost — not just the purchase price — into their underwriting.
Old Town’s defining advantage is that so much of daily life happens on foot — but its location within the metro is also genuinely central, with quick access to Sky Harbor, the freeway network, north Scottsdale, and Tempe. Below, the things Old Town residents reach on foot, followed by drive times to key destinations.
Ryan’s location framework for Old Town buyers: The reason buyers pay a premium for Old Town is precisely that the most important “commutes” are measured in walking minutes, not driving minutes. Dinner, drinks, galleries, shopping, the ballpark, the canal — all on foot. When you do need to drive, Old Town’s central position is a real asset: Sky Harbor is among the closest major-metro airports to a luxury downtown anywhere in the country at roughly 15–20 minutes, which matters enormously for second-home owners and frequent travelers. For buyers whose work is in north Scottsdale or Tempe, the drive is short and counter to peak traffic. Old Town offers the rare combination of walkable urban living and central metro access.
For lock-and-leave second-home owners, this access profile is a major selling point: a quick airport run, a secure building to leave behind, and a turnkey home to return to. Ryan frequently works with out-of-state buyers for whom Sky Harbor proximity is a deciding factor in choosing Old Town over more distant Scottsdale submarkets.
Old Town Scottsdale is served by the Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD), one of the highest-rated public school districts in Arizona, with a strong roster of A-rated schools. While Old Town’s buyer base skews heavily toward professionals, second-home owners, and investors rather than school-age families, SUSD’s reputation is a genuine asset that supports long-term resale value and broadens the district’s appeal for the families who do choose downtown living.
SUSD serves Old Town and the broader Scottsdale area and is consistently among the top-rated public districts in the state, with multiple A-rated elementary, middle, and high schools. The district’s academic reputation, strong programs, and high-performing campuses make Scottsdale addresses attractive to families and supportive of property values district-wide. Families considering Old Town should verify specific school assignments for any address, as boundary assignments vary across the district’s campuses.
Scottsdale Unified’s high schools are consistently among the strongest in the metro, with competitive academics, robust athletics, and well-regarded arts and college-prep programs. For the relatively small number of full-time families in the Old Town area, access to A-rated SUSD high schools is a meaningful long-term benefit and a contributor to the durability of Scottsdale property values.
Beyond SUSD, the Scottsdale area offers a deep bench of charter and private school options, expanding choice for families who want specific academic environments. Arizona’s open-enrollment and charter landscape gives Old Town-area families flexibility well beyond their assigned district school. Ryan can advise on school assignments and nearby options for any buyer for whom education is a priority.
Ryan’s honest school note for Old Town: Old Town is fundamentally a lifestyle, second-home, and investment market more than a family-with-school-age-children market — the condo-dominant inventory and downtown setting naturally select for professionals, empty-nesters, and part-time residents. That said, Scottsdale Unified’s A+ reputation is a real asset: it supports resale value, broadens future buyer demand, and serves the families who do choose downtown living. For buyers prioritizing schools alongside walkable luxury, Old Town delivers a rare combination that most urban-core districts in the metro cannot match.
Few neighborhoods anywhere offer this density of cultural, culinary, and recreational amenities within walking distance. Old Town is, in effect, an amenity-rich resort district that residents get to live inside year-round. Below, the institutions and destinations that define daily life in the downtown core.
One of the largest and most upscale shopping malls in the Southwest, anchoring luxury retail, flagship boutiques, dining, and ongoing mixed-use expansion at the northern edge of Old Town. World-class shopping within walking distance is a defining Old Town convenience.
The Arizona Canal promenade and Scottsdale Waterfront bring shops, restaurants, public art, and pedestrian bridges to a scenic waterside setting. The Waterfront transformed Old Town into a true urban promenade and is home to several of its most coveted luxury condo addresses.
The galleries of Main Street and Marshall Way and the long-running Thursday ArtWalk make Old Town one of the Southwest’s premier fine-art districts. Scottsdale Arts’ institutions, public art program, and performing-arts venues anchor the district’s cultural identity year-round.
Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, a Smithsonian-affiliated institution, celebrates the art and culture of the American West at the heart of Old Town — a cornerstone of the district’s standing as a genuine cultural destination, not merely a dining and nightlife strip.
The intimate downtown ballpark hosts San Francisco Giants spring training each February and March — one of the most walkable and charming Cactus League venues in Arizona — and serves as an event venue throughout the year, a genuine neighborhood amenity for Old Town residents.
Old Town holds one of the densest concentrations of restaurants, bars, lounges, coffee houses, and late-night venues in the metro — from chef-driven fine dining to the Entertainment District’s nightlife. For residents, an extraordinary culinary and social scene is quite literally at the doorstep.
Old Town is a specialized market that rewards an agent who knows the buildings, the HOA realities, the STR landscape, Arizona’s non-disclosure pricing environment, and the block-by-block character of the downtown core. Whether you are buying a luxury condo, a lock-and-leave second home, an investment unit, or a historic single-family home — or selling one — Ryan brings the local depth that protects your interests and your money.
Ryan represents buyers with full building-level due diligence: HOA dues and reserves, special-assessment risk, rental and minimum-stay rules, lender warrantability, view and exposure analysis, and real closed comparables from the MLS. Because Arizona is a non-disclosure state, that MLS access to actual sold prices is essential — public sites do not show true sale data. Ryan uses Arizona’s 10-day BINSR inspection window to investigate building-level issues, not just the unit, and negotiates from real information.
Selling an Old Town condo or home requires precise, building-aware pricing and marketing that reaches the second-home, professional, and investor audiences that drive this market — many of them out-of-state. Ryan prices against true MLS comps (critical in a non-disclosure state), positions the property’s walkability and building amenities to the right buyer pool, and markets nationally and locally to capture the relocation and second-home demand that fuels Old Town.
The 2026 conforming loan limit is $806,500 — relevant across much of the Old Town condo market, with jumbo financing common in the luxury tower segment above it. Condo financing also hinges on building warrantability (owner-occupancy ratios, HOA reserves, litigation status), which can affect loan options. Ryan connects buyers with lenders experienced in Scottsdale luxury-condo and jumbo financing and flags warrantability issues early so financing does not derail a purchase.
A large share of Old Town buyers are out-of-state. Ryan is set up to represent remote buyers end-to-end — video tours, building comparisons, remote due diligence, and a smooth electronic transaction — so a second-home or investment purchase in Old Town can be handled confidently from anywhere. For buyers who cannot be on the ground for every step, Ryan is their eyes, ears, and advocate in the market.
Why hire Ryan for Old Town Scottsdale: Old Town is the most nuanced submarket in the Valley — a condo-dominant, building-driven market in a non-disclosure state with strict and evolving short-term rental rules. The agent you choose has to know the buildings, not just the listings. Ryan is a top 1% Arizona REALTOR® who evaluates Old Town purchases building-by-building, runs true MLS comparables, vets HOA financials and rental restrictions, navigates Scottsdale’s STR ordinances, and represents both local and out-of-state buyers and sellers with honest, direct guidance. In a market where the wrong building or a missed assessment can cost real money, that local depth is the difference.
Buyers considering Old Town most commonly compare it to North Scottsdale, downtown Tempe, the Arcadia/Biltmore corridor, and the suburban Scottsdale neighborhoods. Here is Ryan’s honest, direct comparison across the factors that matter most to Old Town’s buyer profile.
| Factor | Old Town Scottsdale | North Scottsdale | Downtown Tempe | Arcadia / Biltmore |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Product | Condos & luxury high-rise | SFR & gated luxury | Condos & rentals | Historic SFR |
| Price Range | $350K–$3M+ condos | $700K–$10M+ | $350K–$900K | $900K–$5M+ |
| Walkability | Highest in metro | Low / car-dependent | High (ASU core) | Moderate |
| Lifestyle | Arts, dining, nightlife | Resort, golf, quiet | College, urban | Upscale residential |
| Spring Training | SF Giants (walkable) | Nearby venues | Cubs / Angels nearby | Nearby venues |
| School District | Scottsdale USD A+ | Scottsdale USD A+ | Tempe Union | Scottsdale / Phoenix |
| Lock-and-Leave | Ideal (condo, full-service) | Varies / gated only | Good | Limited (SFR) |
| Sky Harbor | 15–20 min | 30–40 min | 10–15 min | 15–20 min |
| Best For | Walkable luxury + 2nd home + investor | Estate luxury + golf + privacy | Urban value + ASU | Historic SFR + central luxury |
Ryan’s honest take: Old Town wins decisively on walkability, downtown lifestyle, lock-and-leave condo product, and central Sky Harbor access — it is the metro’s only true walkable luxury downtown. North Scottsdale wins for buyers who want large single-family estates, golf, gated privacy, and mountain settings — a fundamentally different, more suburban luxury experience. Downtown Tempe offers urban walkability at lower price points but with a college-town character rather than luxury polish. Arcadia/Biltmore wins for buyers who want historic single-family homes in a central, upscale setting but are willing to give up the true downtown, on-foot lifestyle. The choice almost always comes down to whether you want walkable, full-service, downtown condo living (Old Town) or a detached home in a quieter, more suburban luxury setting (the alternatives). Ryan helps buyers make that call with real data and honest trade-off analysis.
Short-term rental operators in Old Town Scottsdale time their pricing strategy around Scottsdale's world-class event calendar. The table below shows the major demand drivers and their typical STR impact — strategic pricing during peak events is what separates top-earning properties from average performers.
| Event | Month | Duration | STR Revenue Impact | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WM Phoenix Open | January | 1 week | Highest of Year | TPC Scottsdale; 500,000+ attendees; most-attended golf tournament in world history |
| Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction | January | 10 days | Very High | Premier collector car auction; ultra-high-net-worth attendees; $30M+ in sales weekly |
| Cactus League Spring Training | Feb – Mar | 6 weeks | High — Sustained | 10+ MLB teams within 45 min; Scottsdale Stadium (Giants) walkable from Old Town |
| Scottsdale Arts Festival | March | Weekend | Moderate | 180+ artists; outdoor; draws arts buyers and collectors to the district |
| AZ Cocktail Week | March | 1 week | Moderate | Spirits and hospitality industry event; food & beverage professionals citywide |
| Spring Break Season | Mar – Apr | 3–4 weeks | High | Multiple spring break windows; consistent demand across collegiate and family travelers |
| Snowbird Season | Oct – Apr | 7 months | Strong Baseline | Canadian and northern US seasonal visitors drive sustained base occupancy |
| Summer Off-Peak | Jun – Aug | 3 months | Lower (price strategically) | Discount pricing and mid-stay minimums attract heat-tolerant visitors; not zero demand |
STR due diligence note: Arizona state law (ARS §9-500.39) preempts municipalities from banning short-term rentals outright, but Scottsdale has enacted local regulations including registration requirements, noise standards, and occupancy limits. Additionally, condo CC&Rs may restrict or prohibit STR activity regardless of state law — always review HOA governing documents and verify current Scottsdale STR ordinances before purchasing for short-term rental purposes. Ryan can connect you with STR specialists and STR-permissive condo inventory.
Whether you’re buying a luxury condo at Optima or the Waterfront, exploring a lock-and-leave second home, evaluating an investment unit against Scottsdale’s STR rules, searching for a historic single-family home near downtown, selling an Old Town property, or buying from out of state — Ryan Moxley gives honest, direct, building-aware guidance on Old Town Scottsdale.
