Scottsdale Ranked #4 Best Place to Live in the US

Scottsdale Ranked #4 Best Place to Live in the US 

I assist many out of town buyer's specifically Canadians who are looking for second homes in our wonderful Arizona Desert climate.  Most of these people mention Scottsdale as their top choice, if there were no budget restrictions.  There is an big reason why this occurs, as Scottsdale is known for it's golf, dining, shopping and lifestyle.

Now, Scottsdale can add another accolade.  Business Week ranked Scottsdale as the 4th Best Place to Live in the US.   With assistance from Bloomberg Rankings, Businessweek.com evaluated 100 of the country’s largest cities based on 16 criteria, which include: the number of restaurants, bars, and museums per capita; the number of colleges, libraries, and professional sports teams; the income, poverty, unemployment, crime, and foreclosure rates; percent of population with bachelor’s degrees, public school performance, park acres per 1,000 residents, and air quality. Greater weighting was placed on recreational amenities such as parks, bars, restaurants, and museums, and on educational attainment, school performance, poverty, and air quality. The data came from the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Sperling’s BestPlaces, GreatSchools, Onboard Informatics, RealtyTrac, and the Trust for Public Land.
