Moving to Scottsdale

If you're planning a move to the Valley of the Sun, but prefer suburban areas to the hustle and bustle of Phoenix, then Scottsdale is an excellent choice for you. Located east and northeast of Phoenix, and also part of its vast metropolitan area, this desert city is well-known for its golf courses and luxurious spa resorts.

While these attract many visitors and make tourism a prominent part of Scottsdale's economy, residents here appreciate the city mostly for its weather, varied entertainment options, outdoor activities, and family-friendliness. Besides boasting great public schools and a growing tech economy, Scottsdale caters to interests across all age groups with its vibrant downtown nightlife and two senior centers with many free programs.

Weather in Scottsdale

The desert climate makes Scottsdale one of the sunniest American cities and, while this opens it to a lot of outdoor activities throughout the year, it also means that summers here can get pretty hot. Fortunately, the heat is toned down by the low humidity, and even stifling days can turn into pleasant afternoons and evenings spent outdoors.

Weather and Storage

While most, if not all, homes in Scottsdale have air conditioning, the intense summer heat makes climate-controlled storage units a blessing. Residents have access to a lot of storage facilities in the area and Scottsdale storage units range from small walk-in closets that are recommended for seasonal items to large 10' x 20' and even 10' x 30' units, where several pieces of furniture, appliances, and sports equipment can easily fit.

Weather and Sports

Speaking of sports equipment, while winter sports are not a thing in Scottsdale, the Ice Den, which is also the proud home of the Jr. Coyotes, is a great place to ice skate and learn how to play hockey regardless of age. Ice Den aside, popular sports and activities here actually revolve around golf, hiking, biking, rock climbing, and baseball.

An Economy on the Rise

With an unemployment rate below the US average, almost two-thirds of the residents having an Associate's degree or higher, and a predicted job growth of around 50 percent over the next 10 years, according to Sperling's Best Places, Scottsdale is looking good not only for young professionals but also for new and expanding businesses.

The top industries by the number of jobs are health care and social services, professional, scientific, and technical services, retail, and administrative and support services, in this order. Regarding job counts by occupation, most people work in office and administrative support positions, followed by sales staff, and managers.

Great for Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners

Almost three-quarters of Scottsdale businesses have less than five employees, and the city's economic development department is helping them grow and navigate the city processes more easily.

One of the tools that entrepreneurs and small businesses can freely use is the Choose Scottsdale HUUB platform, where start-ups can access advisors, technical assistance, and funding opportunities. The platform also enables online B2B connection with other small business owners and offers a lot of useful digital learning tools, including live workshops and a webinar library. Another free tool that Scottsdale businesses can use is called "Size-Up". It is a business analytics tool that offers access to performance benchmarking, competitive assessment, and demographic analysis, and helps you identify the best places to advertise for your industry.
