East Camelback Rd, Scottsdale South

Camelback Rd. runs east and west from Scottsdale to Phoenix. Camelback Rd. is the home to Camelback Mountain. A place where many people go hiking and checking out the scenery. On the east part of Camelback Rd., where Camelback Rd. meets Scottsdale Rd. is Fashion Square Mall and The Waterfront Plaza. With that said, tons of shopping and tons of eats. As you head a little further west, there is the Phoenician. A beautiful resort to visit!!!

If you go a few more miles west you will reach the Biltmore area. From personal experience, I really did not care for this area. I used to live nearby this particular area and did some grocery shopping at the Biltmore plaza. I just moved to Arizona from Hawai'i. I did the usual park and started to get out of my car. In the meanwhile, these older ladies pulled up in their brand new, top of the line Lexus and parked next to me. They got out of their car and I said hi to them, and got a snob, tsk-tsk in return. So I would say in this particular area, if you have money great you can live the life. But I think this area is targeted to people who are older and have money. I don't know just my opinion.

The traffic isn't too bad on Camelback. It's more of a quiet, peaceful, residential/small business area. Lots of orange and grapefruit trees adorn the lawns, and is a great for living. Heading west on Camelback is a whole different story. Once you get into the West part of Phoenix on Camelback, it's older and is probably not a safe area to live in. My husband was born and raised in Phoenix, and I did not get a great feeling from this area.
