Scottsdale is known for beautiful scenery, a vibrant arts scene, and upscale charm, but that’s just the beginning of everything this city has to offer. When exploring and learning more about Scottsdale, It’s hard not to be captivated by the rich culture of this town and start to explore renting an apartment in Scottsdale or even buying a home in the city.
From indulging in exquisite local cuisine to exploring the rugged terrain on an ATV, here’s Redfin’s ultimate bucket list for discovering a slice of what Scottsdale has to offer.
1. Try some of the local cuisine
Food is an essential part of living in Scottsdale and should be the first thing you cross off your Scottsdale bucket list.
“There is nothing that I enjoy more in Scottsdale than the food – especially the Mexican restaurants,” recommends Alpha Publisher, a publishing company based in Delaware with an office in Arizona. “Places like Barrio Queen and Los Sombreros offer tasty dishes like fajitas and street tacos. The flavors are bold and the ingredients fresh, making every meal special. Eating outside on the patios is nice, and the atmosphere is lively. Trying different foods in Scottsdale is like going on a fun food journey that always makes me happy.”
Need a few more recommendations? Listen to Chef and Partner Cory Oppold of local restaurant COURSE, “A few of my favorite places to enjoy when I’m not in the kitchen at COURSE restaurant are Hush Public House, Andreoli Italian Grocer, and Chula Seafood.” While you’re out and about, pop into COURSE to pay Cory a visit and experience one of Scottsdale’s fine-dining experiences.
2. Grab a pint from a local bar
With a thriving bar scene, grabbing a pint from a local bar or brewery is essential to any Scottsdale bucket list.
“From upscale lounges offering craft cocktails to lively sports bars pulsing with energy, there’s something to suit every mood and taste,” shares Michelle Hoff of Desert Dog Offroad Adventures
