FLEX ROD Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Hi Folks, looking at going to Arizona and planning on staying for one month. I will be going down probably around February 10th or so and looking at the prices Scottsdale seems to be a fair bit more expensive so I am not sure it is worth paying the difference? I will be driving down and the wife and daughter will fly down and my daughter will only stay for a week and then fly back the wife will stay and then we will drive back. Any suggestions on which location and / or any suggestions on where to stay? Also anybody have a place they rent out? Thanks, FLEX - John
Old Ironmaker Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) My family has a place in Mesa, they are all long term rentals there. I think you are leaving it a bit late for a 1 month rental. Most places rent for 3 months or more. Good luck. Scottsdale is a richy rich area. Edited February 3, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
Mister G Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Look into Yuma for better rates and warmer weather.
Old Ironmaker Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 I can tell you from my experience that Scottsdale is a very expensive bedroom community with not much going on but golf. 50 courses in a low population community. I really didn't know it was a tourist destination except for golf. not much to do but visit the desert and a few bars and restaurants that can be very pricey. Only been once golfing, people that live there think and act like they live in L.A. one local I golfed with told us. Real Hoity toity.
chris.brock Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa is all just one big urban sprawl with no real division. I'm guessing Scottsdale would be the nicer, classier neighborhood since it has higher prices. It depends on what you like to do, but I thought the Sedona area was the most scenic with lots of hiking trails. I'm guessing it's expensive though. I love the desert. It seems so foreign to anywhere I've been in Canada. Edited February 4, 2015 by chris.brock
Old Ironmaker Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Definitely Sedona is the place to visit in Arizona. Just gorgeous, for our place in Sedona would have been 100K more. It was Scottsdale he was asking about. Edited February 3, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
Old Ironmaker Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 I think I miss interpreted the request. If anywhere in Arizona Sedona is the place to visit. It all depends on budget, it is not in my budget.
