Scottsdale's Seven Downtown Districts

Have you been to downtown Scottsdale lately? If not, boy are you missing out. Here is a quick primer, so you'll know what you're missing.

Downtown is divided into seven districts:

• Scottsdale Fashion Square. Fashion like you wouldn't believe, available from the likes of Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Macy's, Dillard's (the largest in the country!), and way too many more to list. Overall, there are more than 225 retailers here.
  
• Entertainment District. Fine dining and night time entertainment of all varieties can be found here.
  
• Scottsdale Waterfront. Located in Scottsdale's downtown canal bank district, this is the link between Fashion Square and Old Town Scottsdale.
  
• 5th Avenue Shops & Boutiques. Featuring over 35 restaurants and 80 specialty shops, this district combines the glitz of fine shopping with the appeal of old Scottsdale.
  
• Brown & Stetson Business / Scottsdale Arts District. First rate hotels, professional services, shops, restaurants, plus dozens of art galleries.
  
• Old Town Scottsdale. Experience the old Southwest here, with numerous historic buildings and shopping focused on Southwestern style.
  
• Scottsdale Health Care. Some of the finest health care in the Southwest is available right here in downtown Scottsdale.

We will talk more about these areas in future posts, but the point is clear: if you're looking for some action, downtown Scottsdale, Arizona is where you need to be!
