Neighborhoods
The city is roughly divided into four sectors: the Shea Corridor, Old Town, South Scottsdale and North Scottsdale. The Shea Corridor is in central Scottsdale, and features homes from the 70s with increasing value and near many resorts. This has gained the street the nickname Resort Corridor.  Located downtown is Old Town, which is full of stores, restaurants, nightclubs and art galleries, making it Scottsdale's main cultural district. Old Town also houses the high-end Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, among the 20 largest malls in the nation. New and luxury homes are found in North Scottsdale, where new developments reach into the east and west of the McDowell Mountain range. The boom of development in this area is due to its proximity to Scottsdale Airpark, a major business center with 55,000 employees, 2,600 businesses and 23 million square feet of offices.
