6773438Aderra01,3352/2listingmapSr: The golf course which is public is immediately next-door, and the clubhouse is the first thing that you run into so it’s probably a 92nd walk!

Jr: This one's right by us - about a 3 minute drive. Unit looks nice with great veiws of the golf course. You also have unit 3019 on the list. Sold 11/8.		11/1811640 N Tatum Blvd #2078, Phoenix, AZ 85028

6752861Aderra5301,3352/2listingmapJr: This one is within walking distance of our house! Or about a 3 minute drive. It’s on a different part of the golf course (Stonecreek) that our subdivision sits on. Unlike the previous one, the photos on this one show that the specific unit has very nice views. You also have unit 2078 on the list. Sold 10/25.9/711640 N Tatum Blvd #3019, Phoenix, AZ 85028

6751661Anasazi Village3691,2002/1listingmapJr: Very close! <5m drive or walking distance. Unit looks very nice, appears to have fantastic golf course views. Community amenities are nice, including walking paths, walking access to the golf course, pool tables, and apparently a media room. Right across the street from the brand new luxury shopping/dining/residential development that replaced a mall. HOA fee moderately high by not terrible. Main downside is 1 bath.10/204303 E Cactus Rd #235, Phoenix, AZ 85032

6748414Anasazi Village3751,2562/2listingmapJr: Very close! <5m drive or walking distance. You also have units 451 and 235 on your list; this one is bigger than those, with main add over 235 being second bathroom. Unit looks very nice, appears to have fantastic golf course views. Community amenities are nice, including walking paths, walking access to the golf course, pool tables, and apparently a media room. Right across the street from the brand new luxury shopping/dining/residential development that replaced a mall. HOA fee moderately high by not terrible.

6763593Anasazi Village3598501/1listingmapThis one is super-close -- within walking distance of our house, or about three minutes by car. On the small side but looks very nice, with fantastic views of the golf course and pretty walking paths, plus access to walk the golf course itself. Lots of community amenities, including pool tables. Right across the street from a brand new luxury shopping/dining/residential development that replaced a mall.10/612212 N Paradise Village Pkwy S #451, Phoenix, AZ 85032

6734422Arcadia Grove4501,1292/2listingmapComm. NotesJr: This looks like a nice place. View is a bit obstructed but is there — the mountain you’re seeing is Camelback Mountain. They have the same kitchen photo posted multiple times with the cabinet colors digitally edited, so not clear what it really looks like.9/122989 N 44th St #3036, Phoenix, AZ 85018

6762892Artisan Lofts4601,3381/1.5listingmap12/23Jr: Looks like a nice space - great view, great flooring. HOA is high-ish depending on what's included. Downside is it's on the edge, distance-wise, at about 20 minutes. Northern exposure is great. Getting into the urban area, but not quite there, so some stuff is walkable but not tons of things.12/22914 E Osborn Rd #416, Phoenix, AZ 85014

6756296Artisan Lofts on Central5991,4912/2listingmapSr: OK, this is it! Even the stairs which I think you’re beautiful or not a problem if somebody breaks their leg. There is an ideal area. adjacent to the stairs, and in the same space that is ideal for a lift, not an elevator, but a lift like they use in warehouses. I think it is a very walkable area as well..

Jr: I mean, it looks really neat, and there’s a lot going on in that area, but those stairs… oof. Seems like it’s more suited to young bachelors 😉. It’s also kinda far at about 25 minutes when traffic is light.

Sr: Okey-dokey it’s off the list		9/141326 N Central Ave #413, Phoenix, AZ 85004

6727148Astragal5851,4212/2listingmapJr: Located about 15 minutes away near an old office of mine. Also located about two minutes from McLaren and Koenisegg dealers, for what that's worth. Very high ceiling in main living area is fantastic; however, while the walls in that room are studded with windows, they mostly look out to other condo buildings, which are really close, so they don't contribute to a view, and I'm not sure how much light they let in. The layout could also make decorating tricky (though you're far, far better at that than I am). Interior has a number of nice touches, but the way the photos are done, it's really hard to get a sense of the layout, and I think there are stairs going to the front door plus stairs for a second floor. But again, hard to tell from the photos. HOA is relatively low but still includes water/trash.10/814450 N Thompson Peak Pkwy #216, Scottsdale, AZ 85260

6770046Bella Terra at Paradise Valley4451,0562/2listingmapJr: Very close to us at about a 4 minute drive. Located right on the Indian Bend Wash with good views of the wash and adjoining golf course -- would be great for walking. Unit looks nice, with windows at both ends. Garage, low HOA fee. Sold 11/25.10/205335 E Shea Blvd #1071,

14
6722709Biltmore Courts5891,1852/2listingmapJr: About 15 minutes away in the Biltmore area. Unit seems pleasant, with what looks like plenty of light, nice golf course view on one side and Piestewa Peak on the other side, a fireplace, and a well-placed shade tree. However, it appears to be a second-floor unit with access by stairs.11/182947 E Rose Ln, Phoenix, AZ 85016

6732107Biltmore Terrace at Biltmore Estates4751,5443/2listingmap12/23Jr: We saw unit 612 in this development. Biltmore District, about 17 minues away. High HOA, though it does include water. Very nice balcony view of lake and golf course.11/185136 N 31st Pl #626, Phoenix, AZ 85016

6768413Biltmore Terrace at Biltmore Estates4001,2582/1listingmap12/23Jr: We saw unit 612 in this development. Biltmore District, about 17 minues away. Highish HOA. Nice balcony view of lake, though the balcony uses solid walls.11/185124 N 31st Pl #524, Phoenix, AZ 85016
17
6772052Biltmore Terrace at Biltmore Estates4751,1701/1.5listingmap12/23Jr: Location is in Biltmore District, about 17 minues away, though traffic gets heavy around there during rush hour. If you look under the "Sale and tax history" section, there are some additional pictures, maybe from an earlier sale? Views look very nice. HOA fee on the high side. (Extra photos copied to third tab of this spreadsheet.)10/205136 N 31st Pl #648, Phoenix, AZ 85016
18
6751233Biltmore Terrace at Biltmore Estates5151,2242/2listingmap12/23Jr: This is close to the one at 4808 N 24th St., which is the one that was by my old office in the Biltmore District. Again, nice area that’s mostly a mix of residential, office, and retail. Lot of traffic in that area around rush hour, but otherwise fine. Looks like the views from this particular unit are mostly of the other buildings in the complex, though you might have a little bit of a golf course view off one side of the patio.9/215136 N 31st Pl Unit 612, Phoenix, AZ 85016
19
6751225Biltmore Terrace at Biltmore Estates5001,3192/2listingmapSr: Hey Bob, Don’t bother to look at the one at 5122. There’s absolutely no views at all when I looked at it more closely just now it’s all of the parking lot and I don’t want that. 9/205122 N 31st Way Unit 227, Phoenix, AZ 85016
20
6721672Brentwood Park5751,6773/2listingmapJr: Nice area in terms of semi-urban lifestyle. A bit far (17-25 minutes depending on traffic) mostly due to how far west from the freeway it is. (On my map, it’s sort of in the middle of the square cutout in the lower-left.)I noticed the monthly HOA fee is quite high ($667), though they do cover most utilities including electric. Also of note, I think the non-master bathroom is upstairs. Also, looks like the view is going to be across the quad to the other building.

Sr: Master is downstairs with two guestrooms upstairs so that’s perfect. HOA includes everything even Internet.

21
6757228Camello Vista4651,3292/2listingmap12/29Jr: Located 12-15 minutes away in the McCormick Ranch area. No mountain view that I can tell, but the view out the back to the patio is pleasant. Patio itself looks quite nice, and the common area is lovely. View out the tall window in the dining area is kinda ugly, but maybe a nice plant or something would help. HOA fee a little high but does include water and trash. Includes 2-car garage. Looks like you'd need to buy a fridge and washer/dryer.10/87329 N Via Camello Del Norte -- #117, Scottsdale, AZ 85258
22
6718701Camello Vista4601,3352/2listingmapAppears to have sold in May? It's a little weird, though, as the linked listing shows the same bedroom count and sq footage but doesn't list the unit number.10/67417 N Via Camello Del Norte -- #160, Scottsdale, AZ 85258
23
6758990Camello Vista5001,3353/2listingmapJr: 12-15 minutes away in McCormick Ranch, with lots to do in the area. Views are mostly of the parking structures (though the dining room view also features close-ups of Saguaro cacti). However, unit is just a few seconds' walk to the golf course and its lake. Seems to have decent light, including via a clerestory window in the living room. Note there's a VR tour.10/67810 E Via Camello -- #72, Scottsdale, AZ 85258
24
6792245Canyon Gate4871,4463/2listingmap1/26Jr: 12-14 minutes away. Unit is the most NE one in the development, which works well for seeing the mountains that are east and north -- though being a ground-level unit, those views will be obstructed. Exposure is north/east/west. 16th St is moderately busy, but this location is kinda near the intersection so traffic will be slowing and may not be of concern; being ground-level in this case helps given the wall. Unit also gets the corner landscaping and grass. Inside, the layout is relatively nice, though I suspect you'll want to do some general updating to floors/fixtures/appliances. Has fireplace. Has 2-car garage with inside access, which is nice. HOA is reasonable and includes water. Walking distance to Phoenix Mountains Preserve, with the pedestrian walkway to get there overthe freeway.1/57887 N 16th St #116, Phoenix, AZ 85020
25
6743963Casa Del Monte5752,1093/2.5listingmapJr: Location on this one is a bit further. It’s a nice area, but a very busy one, being within walking distance of a large, very popular mall. Looks like the views are limited but private, and again, landscaped. Has stairs, 2 carport spaces, and very high HOA. Sold 11/20.9/224525 N 66th St #77, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
26
6769789Casa Moderna5351,4242/2listingmapJr: 15-17 minutes away. An older unit, but it's had some nice updates. Looks like it has concrete flooring in the living room. Wasn't sure the courtyard was private, but I think it is, which is nice. On the other hand, there are no views to speak of (besides the courtyard), and the laundry room setup is a little funky with the washing machine hookups. Kitchen makes good use of a small space, but the hanging cabinet kind cuts it off from the living room area -- but whether that's good or bad or indifferent is a matter of taste. Pending as of 12/10. Still pending as of 1/12. Sold 1/17.10/145028 N 34th St #3, Phoenix, AZ 85018

28
6749508Corriente4251,0931/1listingmapJr: About 15 mintues away, very close the the Railroad park and pretty close to where the D-backs and Rockies do spring training. HOA fee pretty good given what it includes. Unit looks nice -- masculine. Views appear to mostly be of the development, though there are trees.11/187601 E Indian Bend Rd #1040, Scottsdale, AZ 85250
29
6760701Desert Village at Sonoran Foothills4991,6622/2listingmapJr: This one's probably too far. With clear traffic, it's probably about 25-30 minutes, but it'll often be closer to 40 minutes, and it can easily be quite a bit more on Fridays and Sundays when tons of people are going to and returning from up north. Sold 11/25.10/82425 W Bronco Butte Trl #1029, Phoenix, AZ 85085
30
6728924Edgewater Hayden Ferry Lakeside4851,1661/1.5listingmapLooks nice, has pretty views. Ammenities include pool table. However, HOA is nearly $1k per month, and it's kinda far at 30-35 minutes off-peak.10/6120 E Rio Salado Pkwy #406, Tempe, AZ 85281

6804902El Camino Hermoso6291,7662/2listingmapComm. NotesJr: 14-16 minutes away. 1/146318 N 14th St, Phoenix, AZ 85014
32
6803201El Camino Hermoso6962,2263/3listingmapComm. NotesJr: 14-16 minutes away. Charming, nicely updated, appears to have lots of light. 2-car attached garage, stone floors. Fireplaces are nice (except the one that's "in kitchen" 🧐). Very large, though the second master that's upstairs is a lot of square footage that will rarely be used. WIndows are dual-pane low-E, but not clear about all the glass doors. Also, although I can't tell for sure, it doesn't appear the West-facing upstairs balcony doors and windows have been updated; considering the thermostat is downstairs, I suspect it's quite a challenge to keep that upstairs area properly temperature-controlled. HOA is low but notably does not cover the roof.1/96309 N 14th St, Phoenix, AZ 85014
33
6754430Executive Towers4101,1652/2listingmap12/29Jr: Unit looks nice. Great semi-urban views. Looks to be south-facing, but at least has window coverings. Very nice concrete flooring. HOA fee high though offset somewhat by inclusion of electricity/sewer/water. A bit on the far side at 25-30 minutes. Shared laundry.12/22207 W Clarendon Ave Unit 20B, Phoenix, AZ 85013
34
6778076Executive Towers4501,5422/2listingmapJr: Unit looks nice. Great semi-urban views from four balconies with mountains beyond. Appears to be primarily east-facing. A bit on the far side, though, at 25-30 minutes. HOA fee is pretty high, even account for it including electricity. Also have unit C11 and 20B on the list, both of which have a lower HOA fee. This listing doesn't mention it, but the other units have shared laundry. Pending since 11/26. MS - Unit closes escrow 12/30.11/18207 W Clarendon Ave Unit 7F, Phoenix, AZ 85013

6784406Executive Towers3201,1651/2listingmapSr: HOA includes everything even electric

Jr: Unit looks nice, though 1 bedroom. Great semi-urban views from three balconies with mountains beyond. Faces west and north. A bit on the far side at 25-30 minutes. HOA fee is somewhat high, even account for it including electricity. Shared laundry. Also have unit 7F and unit 20B on the list. Contingent on buyer sale since 12/6.		11/18207 W Clarendon Ave Unit C11, Phoenix, AZ 85013

37
6754338Kierland Greens5991,4012/2listingmapJr: Relatively close at about 11 minutes away; right across the fairway from the Westin, which is the resort you stayed at. Window views aren't anything special. Garage and laundry room are nice. Gas fireplace. HOA not too bad.12/2215221 N Clubgate Dr #1150, Scottsdale, AZ 85254
38
6731001La Tourrette Place5451,0872/2listingmapJr: Looks quite charming, though style is quite different from all the others you’ve been looking at (not good or bad, just, is). Location is fantastic for most downtown events as you can walk. It’s a bit far from the house, though, at 20-25 minutes. Also not sure about you taking on all the maintenance of a home. Carport. Sold 11/6.9/241409 E Diamond St, Phoenix, AZ 85006
39
6779143Meridian5951,2772/2listingmapJr: 16-20 minutes away. Appears to be on the east side of the building. View from the balcony is probably parking lot first, but it has trees and mountain beyond. Other views are probably just the development. Angles and lens choices make it really hard to tell the layout from the photos, so can't judge interior light levels. There are definitely some quirks (e.g., panty shelves and microwave are in the laundry area), but may not be dealbreakers. Has a dining area. General upgrades of the unit appear quite nice.1/55104 N 32nd St #105, Phoenix, AZ 85018
40
6743561Mirage Crossing Resort Casitas4801,3062/2listingmapJr: That would be a good area. It’s very close to the McDowell Mountain Preserve, so depending on how the condo is oriented, etc., you may have a good view of those mountains. One of the spring training stadiums is over in that general area (though the Guardians do their spring training on the west side of town). Sold 10/29.9/511500 E Cochise Dr #1017, Scottsdale, AZ 85259
41
6759878Mirage Heights4501,4502/2listingmapJr: Another in Fountain Hills, though more into the town’s heart than the earlier ones. Probably too far at 30-40+ minutes. That said, fantastic views, though I will say that with desert on three sides, you’d probably have quite the wildlife experience. Sold 11/1.9/2013820 N Mirage Heights Ct #113, Fountain Hills, AZ 85268

6808421Mission Del Arroyos5451,3642/2listingmapJr: Suggested by MS - had 1131 and 1122 on list already but the first was sold and the second was pulled off market.

6741609Mission Del Arroyos4941,3643/2listingmapSr: I just sent this one to you a short time ago and I realize that this is in the same development as the very first one that you and Alden looked at. Exact same floor plan, but this one is on the north side of the complex and looks at the mountain from the patio not the street like the other one. Contingent as of 12/9, listing removed 12/14 (sale fell through?).

44
6752140Mission Del Arroyos5451,3642/2listingmapJr: I think this one is excellent! Wonderful kitchen and great floor throughout. Concrete flooring is one of my favorites because it doesn’t show dirt and the finish last such a long time. It’s just great.

I’m sure the Wolf appliances and column reclaimed from Ohio didn’t hurt 😉. It looks nice - they gave it a ton of character in the renovation. It’s a nice area maybe 13-15 minutes away from the house. Right next to another condo complex called Aventura Condominiums, incidentally. Looks like the view isn’t anything too fancy, though.
*** after walkthrough ***
Sr: If you look at the photos of the wall where there was an alcove and a piece of furniture in it. I think this probably was a closet. It looks like it that was taken out and they put the furniture there instead. Here’s my question do you remember when you go to the second bedroom? Was it down the same hallway as to get to the master bedroom or was it close by a door that almost was in front of the front door? Here’s my thinking, depending on where that alcove is exactly that it could be closed in and reopen on the other side in the bathroom area or bedroom whatever it happens to be there and I think it would probably be the the bathroom area. If that wouldn’t work out what could be done is the area closed in but just a section of drywall or depending on what I was going to do, Put a large piece of furniture in front of it or I have a 12 foot long by 8 foot screen that would go there as long as there’s 12 feet between the doorway of one hallway in the doorway of the other hallway which I think there should be. If it were actually done with drywall, that might be a great place for the television. Let me know what you think Sun and also if you had any additional thoughts about the the unit itself and things that you liked or didn’t like or you thought would be something we should talk about.

I think you’re right that alcove probably backs up to the master bathroom. If I’m putting it together right in my head, one end of the tub may be on that wall right around the right side of the alcove, but the vanity and toilet are on the opposite wall. With those fixtures over there, that also means the plumbing for the tub is almost certainly over there, too, so not on the alcove wall. Seems like you could definitely do something with the alcove if you wanted to.

And yeah, that’d be a good place for a TV. You could arrange a sitting area around there with the walk-through path on the kitchen side, and if you really wanted it, still have room for a non-TV sitting area of some sort closer to the front door.

As for other thoughts, I can certainly see you wanting to change some of the detail things, but that’s probably going to be the case no matter where you go. The floor will be nice from a cooling perspective. I didn’t check out the windows closely, but in the photos, it looks like they’re decent, recent additions, which is good. I didn’t notice while we were there, but I do wonder about noise from the air handler in that kitchen closet and the air return on the other side of the wall by where they have the dining room table. One of the main returns for our central system is in the dining room, and it definitely makes a bit of noise. That said, our unit is probably far larger than the one in that place. Again, I didn’t notice it while we were there, but they did have some soft music on and I just wasn’t paying attention for it. Place was also very well lit, with lots of windows even in the den and second bedroom.

Sr: Yeah, that’s what I had thought. Do you have any idea? What do you think? The measurements are between that third bedroom which is a den at one end and the fireplace wall on the other? The good thing there is at the front doors all the way it went in so that helps with the furniture arrangement. Oh, what did you actually think about the place as far as it’s livability? I sent you a couple more listings as well, but I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to look at them or not yet. Everything still OK with Trip?

Jr: She paced off from the back wall (excluding the “hallway” containing the front door, laundry, etc.) to the couch, and I measured from the other end to couch, but I don’t remember either measurement. Maybe 12’ and 10’, respectively? Plus the depth of the couch itself. So maybe 25’ to 30’ total? It’s hard to tell from the photos.

Where they had the TV was weird for me, though I know high placements aren’t unusual as lots of people put them over fireplaces — but the cinephile in me hates such placements. Where the alcove is would be much better. If you wanted to, you could forego removing the alcove and instead use it to reduce or eliminate the protrusion of the equipment.

As for livability, it seems like it would work well. You’ve got the extra bedroom in case someone visits, plus there’s the little den/office. That could be all sorts of interesting things… private exercise room, mini-theater, listening room, wine tasting room, or just a place to display some of your collectibles. And it’s big enough to throw down an air mattress if you need two guest rooms in a pinch. Kitchen is more than enough.

You might get a little road noise on the patio, but it’s worth mentioning the speed limit there is 30. Sold 11/20.		9/611333 N 92nd St #1131, Scottsdale, AZ 85260

6747011Montana Del Sol5101,0242/2listingmapJr: About 18 minutes away, so kind of on the edge. Unit looks like it's been pleasantly updated, includes 2-car garage. Says covered patio, but one of the pictures is of an uncovered patio - but it also sounds like there may be two, so maybe one covered and one not covered? HOA fee is low but appears to only include front maintenance (plus community features). It's right next to a fire station, so may want to consider noise (they often don't turn on sirens just leaving, so may or may not be an issue). Nothing interesting about close-range views, can't tell about medium-range views. 10/2010909 E Hope Dr, Scottsdale, AZ 85259
46
6756144North Ranch6602,0372/2.5listingmap1/26Jr: Good relative location at about 11 minutes away. Quite large, and appears to have a ton of storage. Recent upgrades look okay, but I suspect a couple more (such as lighting) would be on your list. Patio and common grassy area look very pleasant, including the mature trees. HOA fee reasonable but only covers grounds -- notably, excluding roof.1/96231 E Kelton Ln, Scottsdale, AZ 85254
47
6783887One Lexington5551,1692/2listingmap12/23Jr: Unit is nice, with a sort of warm yet industrial feel. Tons of windows and light with great semi-urban views with mountains beyond. About 20 minutes away. HOA somewhat high but at least includes sewer/water. Two-car garage parking. Can't tell easily what direction it's facing (why do they never tell you?), but appears to be on the NW corner. Shades touted for privacy will be much more important for sun! Requires financing through seller with 5yr balloon payment.12/221 E Lexington Ave #410, Phoenix, AZ 85012

6794579Optima Biltmore Towers6001,4742/2listingmap1/26Comm. NotesJr: Unit looks nice, with a ton of windows. It's hard to tell where it is in the building, but I think it's on the north side in the secondary corner that's a unit or two west of the building's overall NE corner, looking to the north and east. Views look to be mostly urban, with some mountain bits. Has dining area plus counter space. Balcoany is a bit narrow but still pleasant, and it looks like it may have misters.1/54808 N 24th St #621, Phoenix, AZ 85016

6756542Optima Biltmore Towers5501,0951/1listingmapComm. NotesJr: Views appear mostly urban. Unit appears to be on the north side of the bulding.

6742920Palma Viva Condominiums4881,1001/1listingmapJr: Located right on the western edge of the Arcadia area, which is a great area of town known for lush landscaping with mature trees and historic homes on large lots; it's about a 15 minute drive. Indeed, this specific development is very green, feels almost Florida-esque. It's also right on the canal, so you can walk along there if you want (our canals don't have alligators to worry about!). Only one bedroom, but any of your grandkids would probably get a kick out of staying up in the attic area (if it's air conditioned). Interior has an unusual feel in this area, almost vacation cabin-like. Very charming, though I'm not sure some elements (like the kitchen cabinets) are to your tastes. No covered parking. HOA fee is relatively reasonable and includes trash/water. Sold 11/26.10/84540 N 44th St #3, Phoenix, AZ 85018

4563852Pointe Tapatio 25021,9133/3listingmapJr: Not on the market yet, but Redfin has listing info from 2011. 16-18 minutes away. Can't tell anything about views but it's quite close to North Mountain. Fireplace. Large at over 1900 sq ft. HOA is on the low side, but at least as of the listing, it doesn't appear much is included aside from common-areas maintenance. Also, two floors.

6673934Rancho North Condos5851,9902/2listingmapJr: Seems nice enough. It’s another one where they’ve digitally changed the color of walls, which I find interesting. Desc says mountain views, but I couldn’t see that in any pictures save for one (living room view straight on to the TV), where you can see a mountain over top another building. View out the back is still nice enough, though. At first I was confused trying to reconcile the view from the balcony with where their map shows the unit, but I eventually figured out their map is wrong, probably because it uses Google Maps, which also gets it wrong. In this case, Apple Maps shows the unit properly located on the opposite side of the central community area (which is a much nicer location than what their map indicates).

This one is on the far side, though, at 30 minutes minimum. And I’m not sure if having stairs at the entrance that must be negotiated every time is a great idea.

Cave Creek is yet another few hundred feet higher in elevation than Fountain Hills, so another couple degrees cooler. Like Fountain Hills, they receive a novelty snow once or twice a year. Culturally, Cave Creek is sort of small-town with a definite old-West bent that attracts a laid-back, quirky sort of crowd. It’s also a popular tourist spot for Southwest-style art and old-West themed shows and such.		9/135100 E Rancho Paloma Dr #2077, Cave Creek, AZ 85331

The bedrooms look like they're fine, though, and the listing says something about lots of natural light, so maybe I'm wrong. Also, the immediate view looks to be mostly parking lot, though I can't tell at all what's visible beyond that. On the flip side, the floors and high ceiling are nice.10/227970 E Camelback Rd #106, Scottsdale, AZ 85251

6773785Summit at Copper Square5251,4262/2.5listingmap12/23Jr: Fantastic urban setting -- right in the heart of the sports district across the street from the baseball field. Fantastic views. Unit looks very nice and includes underground parking. On the other hand, location means traffic in that area is pretty heavy whenever there's a game happening, and it's kinda on the edge of our distance range at about 20-25 mintues -- but the location would be very helpful to us. HOA a bit high, and with all that west/south-facing glass, the windows better be good. Note you also have unit 806 in the same building on the list.

Distance-wise, on the edge of too far at 20-30 minutes (partly because of distance removed from freeway). The big windows face WWS, so you'd want to make sure they're really good at blocking heat.

6174842Toscana at Desert Ridge5891,4642/2listingmapJr: Not on the market yet, but Redfin has listing info from earlier this year when it was listed for rent. Up around Desert Ridge and High Street, so lots of shopping an dining very close by. Looks to have nice views with mountains in distance. Also have unit 3402 (sold 12/6) on the list. HOA isn't listed, but 3402's is $602/m. 1-car garage. Contingent but accepting backups as of 12/31.

6750490Toscana at Desert Ridge5201,4642/2listingmapJr: 15-20 minutes away, located within walking distance of High Street and Desert Ridge, which have a ton of eating and shopping. Hard to tell what the views are - maybe partial city views, partial other condos, but lots of green through lots of windows. HOA a little high but community areas look very nice -- and include a pool table :-).

Jr: Also a nice area. It’s right by a shopping center called Desert Ridge that we frequent (one of my favorite local theater auditoriums is there — it’s the one we took Jennifer and the boys to), and is about 5 minutes from the Mayo hospital. Not sure how the views will be, but the pics at least show trees outside the windows.

This one isn’t too far from the Grawhawk one, but it’ll be a lots easier to access around rush hour because of local traffic patterns. Sold 12/6.		9/295350 E Deer Valley Dr #3402, Phoenix, AZ 85054

6795741Venu at Grayhawk5991,3263/2listingmapComm. NotesJr: Unit looks nice, though it's hard to get a sense of the floorplan.

76
6747664Village at Market Street5001,2982/2listingmapJr: Location is on the edge of "too far" at about 20 minutes away in the DC Ranch development in North Scottsdale, though the route there can get pretty conjested and increase that time a fair bit. (Of note, though, the ultra-wealthy Silverleaf community is nearby, and the roads are such that on your way to my house, you'll hit a spot where those folks kinda get funneled through, making it a prime location for car spotting.) Unit itself looks pleasant. I like that the floorplan is kinda of open but isn't just one big room. On the flip side, I'm not really a fan of the rustic-wood look on the floors -- a bit too much texture for my tastes. I'm also curious about how much natural light gets back into the kitchen area and that hallway, since pretty much all the light has to come from the back windows/door that look out onto the covered patio. Shopping and dining are within walking distance. HOA fee is a bit high; it comes with a beautiful community center, but I don't see you using that very much. Was pending at add-date, but sold later that day (10/9).10/920801 N 90th Pl #159, Scottsdale, AZ 85255

6758021Villages4501,0062/2listingmapJr: This looks nice. Doesn’t look like you’ll have mountain views, but they’re landscaped views. Location’s not bad, though I’m pretty certain it’s not McCormick Ranch as the listing claims. First floor.

Sr: This one’s just a little too small so I had taken it off my list when I looked at it again. I’m going through them now to see which ones I might be interested in as before I was just trying to assemble some that looked OK at first blush. By the way, who is McCormick Ranch supposed to be special for some reason? Do you have a little time to chat today?

Jr: McCormick Ranch is a large (3100 acres) planned community built on land that used to be a ranch owned by the McCormick family. Aside from its size, it’s known for having a lot of amenities (two 18-hole golf courses, 25 miles of bike paths, seven lakes…) and a good location in central Scottsdale. It’s nice enough, but I wouldn’t say it’s special in any way. As to this condo, it’s very close to McCormick Ranch but beyond the boundary. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t make use of those amenities.

Sr: Gotcha I understand. I know there’s a couple of others that I’ve sent you that also say in the McCormick Ranch area. This particular one though it’s just a little bit too small. There’s a couple of others that I like but what I can see that are not in that area. I know I’d really like to have a view, but can only do what you can do and there is one single-family home that I sent you that looks pretty darn nice and it has a master downstairs and two upstairs bedrooms that can be used for yes. It has no view but it’s a nice layout. Anyway, if you can chat, just let me know. If not, let me know when it might be a good time for you.		9/229275 E Mission Ln #114, Scottsdale, AZ 85258

Two garage spaces, reasonable HOA.
