Scottsdale, Arizona describes itself as the "West’s Most Western Town", a slogan meant to indicate that Wild West influences are still alive and well in the city. However, with the exception of the Old Town Western-themed district, most of Scottsdale is actually quite modern and has plenty to offer for those interested in art, culture, architecture, and entertainment.
The Old Town district might not be the most faithful recreation of a Wild West town, but Scottsdale does, in fact, have plenty to offer for those looking for a genuine glimpse at how people used to live in that era. To that end, the city hosts numerous cultural events and fairs every year revolving around Western history, such as the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and the Scottsdale Jaycees Parada del Sol. These events have been around for decades and are very popular with locals and visitors alike.
In stark contrast to these fairs, Scottsdale is also home to plenty of modern events like the Barret-Jackson Auto Show and the Scottsdale Fashion Week. Perhaps even more well-known, however, is the Scottsdale Culinary Festival, commonly known as the longest running event of its kind in the country. Art lovers are also likely to feel very comfortable in Scottsdale as the city is home to more than a hundred art galleries and museums. While many of them are themed around Western and Native American art, there are also plenty of galleries showcasing contemporary art, particularly in the Downtown Scottsdale district.
The blend of traditional and modern also extends to entertainment and outdoor activities. Visitors and residents of Scottsdale can test their ATV riding and marksmanship skills with certified instructors or take scenic tours across the neighboring Sonoran Desert and Bradshaw Mountains. Alternatively, those who prefer the city nightlife over outdoor activities will not be disappointed either as Scottsdale also offers plenty of quality entertainment venues such as Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row or the renowned Counter Intuitive cocktail bar.
Scottsdale offers a little something for everybody and you’ll find there are plenty of good offers on NewHomeSource if you’re thinking about purchasing a home there. You can find new build homes in Scottsdale that are ready now and those that you can have built in every Scottsdale new development.
