Scottsdale
South Scottsdale has been known
for many years as a less affluent region of Scottsdale, but more
recently is transforming into a dynamic urban core. Many foodbanks
and homeless shelters are located in South Scottsdale, as well
as several strip clubs and check cashing stores. Many homes in
South Scottsdale are much smaller and older than their Northern
counterparts. However, in recent years, South Scottsdale has seen
a drastic turn of events.
According to The Arizona Republic,
the average home resale value in South Scottsdale has skyrocketed
to $205,000, and many renovated houses have sold for more than
$350,000. Many deteriorating buildings are being destroyed and
rebuilt. South Scottsdale will also soon be home to the new research
center for Arizona State University. Although South Scottsdale's
geophraphic boundaries are the subject of frequent debate, South
Scottsdale extends from McKellips Road at the city's southern
border, north to Osborn Road, where Old Town/Downtown appears
to begin.

Scottsdale Restaurants by Zip:
Scottsdale is a satellite city
of Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. Named by the New
York Times as "The Beverly Hills of the Desert" and
by Travel Channel as one of the most luxurious destinations in
the nation, Scottsdale has become internationally recognized and
regarded as one of the most expensive and posh areas in the United
States and a premiere tourist destination, while maintaining its
own identity and culture as "The West's Most Western Town."
Scottsdale was originally inhabited
by Hohokam. From circa 300 BC to 1400 AD, these ancient civilizations
farmed the area and built some of the most ingenious irrigation
canals the world has ever known. The name Hohokam translates as
"vanished," as the civilizations mysteriously disappeared
without a trace.
Before Anglo settlement, Scottsdale
was a Pima village known as Vaai Svaoni, meaning "rotting
hay". Some Pima remained in their original homes well into
the 20th century. For example, until the late 1960s, there was
a still-occupied traditional dwelling on the southeast corner
of Indian Bend Rd. and Scottsdale Rd. By now, however, all Pima
have either moved into modern homes within Scottsdale (mainly
in South Scottsdale), to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community,
or elsewhere.
The Hohokam's unbelievable legacy
was in their creation of more than 125 miles (200 km) of canals
to provide water for their agricultural needs. The remnants of
this ancient irrigation system were adapted and improved upon
in 1868 by the first Anglo company to stake a claim in the Valley
of the Sun, when Jack Swilling set up the Swilling Irrigation
Canal Company.
Twenty years later Scottsdale's
future would turn sharply upwards, when a U.S. Army Chaplain,
Winfield Scott, paid the paltry sum of $2.50 an acre for a 640
acre stretch of land where the city is now located. Winfield's
brother, George Washington Scott, was the first resident of the
town that was then known as Orangedale and later changed to Scottsdale
in 1894.
