Life Time North Scottsdale

I live/work fairly close to the Life Time near Mayo & Scottsdale Rd. For people who are members here (or have been in the past), is it “worth” the price in your opinion? What are the pros and cons? When/how often is it crowded?

I currently work out at the EōS across the street from here and it is frustratingly busy at all hours and pretty gross if I’m being honest.

Would be interested to hear some firsthand experiences and recommendations. Thanks!

Where to drop off recycling?

My community stopped recycling several years ago. I had been dropping off my recycling since then but over the past year, every drop off site has either stopped taking items from the general public or has shut down altogether.

I’m hoping someone here knows of a place, whether it’s in Scottsdale, Phoenix or Tempe, or even Mesa, where I can take my recycling. Any ideas?

Will they ever fix Pima road?

Pima road once you get to old town is absolutely destroyed and it’s been like that for as long as I can remember. Do you think they’ll ever fix it?

Scottsdale is pretty good with fixing their roads except for Pima for some reason

Renting a 12 pax van?

I’m looking to rent a 12 passenger van for a long weekend in December.

With past experience trying to rent higher passenger vehicles, these are notoriously hard to rent/find. Any company will take my reservation but not actually follow through with it when the time comes. A few companies come up but none have reviews, some don’t even have local area codes for their phone numbers. I’m just trying not to get scammed or be SOL. Does anyone have any experience with renting a 12 passenger in Phoenix/Scottsdale from a reputable place? Thanks!

The Phoenix sub removed my post and told me to Google it and get lost - so really hoping y’all can help me out here.

Looking for reccomendations for architects/builder for small addition in Scottsdale

We are thinking about adding on to our home vs selling and buying. We really love our neighborhood and would like a little more room. Can anyone recommend architects/builders to talk with and get pricing estimates that they have had a good experience with? We also have a HOA that we would need assistance navigating this process with too. Thank you for any help.

Qdoba - Opening near Fashion Square

Was driving Northbound on Scottsdale right by Fashion Square this morning. When passing where Modern Market used to be I saw that they’re opening a Qdoba in that spot.

They used to have a big presence in the Valley and although they don’t have anything on the authentic joints around town, it’s nice to see them back in Scottsdale.

Reccomendations for Eyebrow Wax/Tint and Hair Salon/Stylist

I just moved to south Scottsdale and desperately need to get my eyebrows done and a haircut. When I just searched for a place to get a wax & tint there were SO many results, does anyone have a reccomendation for (1) an eyebrow place and (2) a hair stylist in the area? I'm totally willing to drive farther if they're worth it. [F26]

W hotel Scottsdale

Over my birthday weekend, I stayed at the W hotel in Scottsdale and inadvertently left my wallet in the room. After promptly reporting the issue, the hotel located my wallet, but I was charged $100 for shipping and discovered $700 was stolen by housekeeping and security personnel. The hotel's management, staff, and security's handling of this matter was profoundly disappointing.

Baby Snake Got Inside

This guy snuck in when I opened the door to my garage! I was shocked at how small he was, he tried to strike when I caught him and I dropped him off about half mile away.

Homes in Old Town/South Scottsdale

I’ve noticed a lot of these homes are older. Like late 50s/early 60s. Are there any issues with them/anything to beware of?

Hairstylist for vibrant neon colors

I will be in the area for the next several months and I am looking for a hair stylist who really likes doing super fun colors like neons and magenta. I had a stylist here years ago (who moved away ) that did this sunrise sunset ombre with different pinks and oranges. It was beautiful! I'm looking for an artist who really wants to do their own thing. I have medium length, mostly blonde light brown hair. Thanks!

Help needed to access moving from Toronto to Scottsdale

I'm from Toronto, Canada and interviewing for a company based off of Scottsdale. They will require me to relocate before joining and that's giving me jitters, specially the move is across the country. I would be an eternally greatful to this community if I get enough information to make an informed decision whether to move ahead with an offer or not. Few of my questions as follows:

  1. How's the housing market? Both renting & buying.
  2. What part of Scottsdale or around Scottsdale better suited for a young family with a young kid?
  3. How's schooling in the area and any ranking preferences for school districts?
  4. From where I will be moving, weather will be a drastic change. Is that something people get used to easily? Specially those who moved from East Coast.
  5. If it would be you who will be starting your life from scratch in Scottsdale, what would you do differently from your learnings living in the area?

Adding a few more questions.

  1. What would be an idle salary to settle down in Scottsdale? And if renting for a few years, what would be the max rent I should be paying to save a good bit?
  2. Is Chandler a good area for living and how is the commute between Chandler and Scottsdale?

I thank you all in advance for taking time out responding to these questions and feel free to add your feedback as suited outside of these questions.

EDIT: Thank you all for the great response, I will be eternally grateful to you guys. Just one last point, It's very very surprising that none of the responses compared tax brackets between Ontario and Arizona. My takehome post tax in Ontario compared to Arizona will be way different and that was one of the reasons I am factoring in while negotiating my salary here. Please comment on this topic, especially any moved from Toronto to Arizona.

Moving help!

Hello! I recently got offered a great position that is moving my boyfriend and I over here for at least a year. We are 25 and looking for help with budget friendly moving. We know nothing about Scottsdale: places to avoid, budget friendly and safe apartments, things to know, tips, etc. We’ve never lived anywhere besides our home state, New York, so it’s quite the move. Any help would be significantly appreciated! Thanks!

Good co-working spaces, groups or events for connecting with other entrepreneurs?

Hey, moved to N Scottsdale last year and am interested in connecting with other inspiring entrepreneurs who are actively building/scaling a company with considerable revenue (or potential). I currently WFH but try to attend various meetups etc. Unfortunately, it seems most are often abandoned (1-3 people show up..sometimes), or people are working professionals rather than entrepreneurs, or are just exploring starting their entrepreneur journey. I'm thinking a co-working space might be a good idea to get out a few days a week and embed myself with other entrepreneurs to allow for possible connections, idea sharing, growth, etc. Open to ideas for those who have been around the valley and found success with this. If possible, ideally around N Phoenix/Scottsdale, but open to locations that might be better fit.

And if YOU are one of these entrepreneurs/business owners with big plans, message me, I'd love to grab a coffee and connect.

About me: 31M. Successful entrepreneur of nearly a decade with several companies. Currently pivoting and focusing on building a more scalable business. Highly experienced in marketing, systems/automations, AI, service industry, SEO, and general problem solving.
