This is a pretty good mall. They don't have all the super upscale stores that some of the Scottsdale shopping centers can offer like Barneys, Neiman Marcus, etc but it is still a lot nicer than many of the other malls in the Phoenix metro. It is always clean and the parking lot is well lit and has security.
They have all the basics with a few boutiques thrown in. I like the fact that they do have a Nordstroms but also a Sears. The food court is pretty basic but they also have other dining options in the surrounding area like Kona Grill, Cheesecake Factory, PF Chang's, etc. They also have a Harkin's movie theater which I actually look at as a minus since it means the parking lot is just that much more crowded.
