Once known as the “West’s Most Western Town,” Scottsdale is rooted in frontier values, ranching and farming, hard work, connection to the land and rugged individualism. The city has grown and developed from a small ranch town into an exciting and vibrant place to live and work, but these original values remain a part of the fabric of the city. Spend some time getting to know Scottsdale, from its frontier town roots to today’s burgeoning cosmopolitan city, and you’ll find that there is a reason it has been ranked among top cities in the nation in which to live.
Livable can mean many things, but to me it means that the city offers local, walkable and bikeable options; supports small businesses; and is community-oriented. These are all elements that Scottsdale actively fosters and are found throughout the city. In Scottsdale, we are seeing a return to an effort to live locally. This attitude is immediately obvious in the access to and protection of the natural desert, the support for small locally-owned businesses and restaurants and the increased emphasis on local production and quality of life. Take a tour of Scottsdale with a local lens and see how the city measures up in its efforts to live local in the 21st century.
