Everything old is new again, and south Scottsdale is living proof.
Proponents say the southern portion of the community has been reborn because attitudes have changed toward what was once the image of an old “south Scottsdale” past its prime. For the first time in decades, the area is attracting new businesses, new interest and most important, new full-time residents.
Drive through the neighborhoods and you’ll see homes being remodeled and new stores opening in buildings that have sat empty for several years. With SkySong, The ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center, serving as a catalyst for the region’s rebirth, community members agree: South Scottsdale and the McDowell Corridor are poised for a comeback.
