Scottsdale is the nicest part of Arizona and North Scottsdale is by far the most high end upscale area. The airpark is going to be the largest business district in Phoenix metro area in the next 10 years. It will be the financial hub of Arizona.

Overly optimistic if you ask me...I actually think Paradise Valley (town) and Biltmore (Phoenix), Camelback Mountain (Phoenix) are by far the most high end, upscale areas of the metro. Also, the Airpark has a long, long, long way to go to outpace and have more employment concentration than Phoenix' CBD (height restrictions are one reason, density another). Compare this, the Airpark employs 48,000 people over a very large square milage that includes areas of Phoenix (Kierland as an example); office vacancy rates are astronomical (over 29% compared to 13% in downtown), and there are over 170,000 employees in a three mile radius of Central/Washington...not including the uptown and midtown high-rise corridor. The CBD in Phoenix encompasses 78.6% of the entire metro Phoenix workforce...

Airpark's real estate outlook not rosy for 2010

But I think the "nicest" part of town statement is personal opinion...

Nicest part of ARIZONA? I guess it depends on what you are looking for. Financial hub of Arizona at the Scottsdale AIRPARK? Largest business district in metro Phx, both in the next ten years? (I'd like to know how you define the airpark, but I still don't buy your prediction)

Where did you read this, or who are you working for that you are trying to sell this theory???
