Review of Scottsdale, Arizona


Arrogant/artifical people and frighteningly HOT
Star Rating - 3/2/2012
Scottsdale is way overrated. Some of the people are egotistical, pretentious and overly concerned about appearances(eg; their BMW or SUV or their ripped waistline or their huge, ostentatious house). The neighborhoods are like ghost towns b/c it is so HOT that everyone stays inside or sit in their back yards under their awnings w/ their automatic
'misters' b/c it too hot to swim in the pool. The general population often look weathered and wizened and much older than their stated years d/t the never ending sun. Look at other states that have much more to offer in way of housing, climate and activities.

I am sorry you had such a bad experience in Scottsdale. I have found people in Scottsdale to be completely friendly and helpful. I don't think Scottsdale has any more pretentious people than any other city. Yes it is hot in the summer so many people take that time to travel. The great thing about Scottsdale is that you are only 2 hour drive to Flagstaff at a cool higher elevation with pine trees and mountains. Perfect for a quick summer get away. If you prefer the beach, many of my friends drive to California for quick weekend getaways. It is perfectly situated close to many great vacation spots.
