Review of Scottsdale, Arizona


No Critters Where I Live
Star Rating - 5/8/2007
When I first came to Scottsdale I lived in the Princess apartments in Scottsdale. A neighbor told me to keep my cat indoors because the coyotes go thru there and kill cats and small dogs. Since I've been here I've heard people who left the 'desert' areas of North Scottsdale to get into the city more. I bought a house by 56th St & Bell, and have never seen a coyote, scorpion, or havalina. There are plenty of birds, palm trees, fruit trees and grass in my backyard however. My front yard is crushed rock, like 90% of the other yards, and requires almost no maintenance. I don't notice the Scottsdale snobbiness - when I walk the dog people seem more friendly than back in Chicago.
