[quote=SK in CV][quote=sdduuuude]In my opinion, Paradise Valley is like Rancho Santa Fe or La Jolla. Scottsdale and Awatukee more like Carmel Valley – newer tract homes for families with good schools. Haven’t spent much time anywhere but Awatukee, though.

PV is a bit like RSF, though there aren’t anywhere near the number of big acreage lots. It is upper income but the homes really don’t compare.
Ahwatukee is nothing like CV, at least demographically. Schools, on the whole, are maybe a bit above average but that’s it. Scottsdale has areas that are a bit like CV, but it also has 50+ year old neighborhoods. My sister in law grew up in a house that was built in the late 40’s and the neighborhood doesn’t look a lot different than when she was a kid. The city is 20 times the size of La Mesa. Bigger than any city in SD county other than the city of SD. The demographics are all over the place. So comparing it with any neighborhood in SD can’t be very accurate.[/quote]
Thanks, SK. The OP’s friend stated he wanted to buy a *newer* 4-5/3/3 home in PHX.
Can you tell us what the *newer* ~2500 sf SFRs are selling for in Scottsdale that are within the subdivisions which are “a bit like CV” (SD)?
