So I curious to see what you guys put as your top 3 favorite neighborhoods in the metro area to either live/shop/relax?

For me in no particular order....
Norterra area - Love the mountain preserve to go hiking and the outdoor scenery.

Desert Ridge - Upscale, very clean and friendly people as well, with a good amount of shopping stores.

Kierland area - Same reasons as Desert Ridge but taken up a bit further.

For me:

Haha, you just listed my 3 favorite areas of the valley, for the same reasons too.

I lived in the Desert Ridge area, went to Explorer and Pinnacle, great area, low crime, tons of shopping, close to 51 and 101!

Ditto the OP. Norterra and Tramonto though are a toss up for me. Kierland and Desert ridge are tied for my favorite.

1. The area south of Missouri between 24th and 20th Street - north of Camelback. That is a hidden pocket of Frank Lloyd Right homes sitting on small acreages.

2. Most of the districts in the East Camelback village where I live now.

3. The nicer parts of Arcadia.

it's the very large area N of 101 on both side of Tatum...was developed starting in the early 1990s, about....Desert Ridge shopping center is popular at Tatum and 101 and there's a very nice Marriott resort nearby....there's a "Tatum Ranch" in there somewhere, too, but don't know if it's separate from Desert Ridge.....

I think DR has been "popular" with foreclosures and short sales....not a bad area, but somewhat "cookie-cutter"-ish and you'll learn to love your car (or hate it).....

Hmm...I guess I have to check out the Norterra area of Phoenix. I've been a Phoenix area resident for nearly ten years (next month) but never heard of it.

I lived in near North Point (Pointe Tapatio), South Scottsdale, and the Ahwatukee areas. I don't know much, but I like Ahwatukee for the clean neighborhoods that remind me of Orange County without the desert. I also like the quietness of Ahwatukee. I like North Point for the proximity to the preserve and may buy real estate there in the future. I like North Scottsdale for upscale places and proximity to some of my mountain biking areas.

If I can list a fourth area, I would pick Desert Ridge. There used to be a restaurant called Salute that my sister and I really raved about. I guess we had bad taste because the restaurant there went out of business. They have another restaurant near North Point that my sister did not like - the service.
