East McCormick Pkwy, North Scottsdale

This is the sort of street that you should have bought on in 1975. It's got lots of tall trees, spacious lots, and well-built houses. The golf course clubhouse has a restaurant I can't afford to eat at, but have heard good things about. The residents are largely Arizona veterans, who have seen the valley grow up around them, but have maintained a really relaxed feel to the area. If you have any reason to drive down this street, or into the surrounding neighborhoods, take the opportunity. It's a beautiful part of Scottsdale.
