I've seen homes East on Ranger on N tatum. Gated homes and large sizes. However, a friend showed me another area called grayhawk in scottsdale. Homes are smaller buts its scottsdale. Which area is better and are there subdivisions in scottsdale with big houses that aren't east of Hayden?
Hi Rod. How do you define better? More appreciation potential? Safer? Near restaurants/entertainment, etc.?
Area, location, and the type of homes.
Got it. Grayhawk is regarded as the all around better area. But it all depends on what you value. As they keep expanding City North, getting a home near it might be a smart appreciation/investment play + you'll get more sq/ft and lower HOA fees.
But if you are looking for a more prestigious area, Grawyhawk wins.
You honestly can't go wrong in either area though in my opinion. It's more of a personal preference and status choice.
Hey Rod, you should sit down and have a longer discussion with an agent. The input we can provide based off a forum post is difficult because we don't know you and there are so many properties to discuss.
Hey Rod - as others have noted, this generally comes down to personal preference. You're going to get more bang for your buck if you stay in a Phoenix zip code, but if that isn't a major factor for you, I'd recommend a further look at Grayhawk. There are numerous subdivisions (some gated some not) offering a wide array of styles and sizes.
