David, I just made the move from SD to Scottsdale about 18 months ago. I don’t really get the “la jolla of AZ” thing. Obviously, we all have different perspectives, but from mine, La Jolla is the ocean and the views. Scottsdale doesn’t have those. But it does have very nice neighborhoods that pretty much run the gamut as far as price is concerned, except for the top end, if there is anything here that matches the homes in LJ Farms or Mt Soledad, I have no idea where they are. It does have fine restaurants and shopping, and a little tourist area. And the heat thing is something that has to be considered.
If you’d like any limited insight I might be able to provide, feel free to ask me here or message me.
