| - I am a golfer, so when trying to decide where to have a second home, first and foremost I considered golf courses. But as I explored different cities, I came back to the realization that I wasn't going to be golfing every minute of every day, so I had to consider other activities. Arts and culture, sports teams, zoos, gardens, restaurants and yes, exercise. Visiting Scottsdale, as one of the potential cities, I became enthralled with the green belt, and its possibilities.
As a result, I bought a place directly on the green belt. And it was the best decision I could have made. I use it on a daily basis, whether for walking, biking, spending time on it with visiting families and their children, and yes, even practicing golfing (using plastic balls). I also get to play with the dogs that are visiting the green belt with their owners, without the bother of owning one. It is a great place to take small children for a stroll, or to help them learn to ride their bikes and their scooters, to hit and catch balls, or generally just to play.
It is also great place to sit, have coffee or a cool drink, and people watch - and uniformly, most of the people are friendly. Yes, there are some that take their activities a little to seriously, and are offended by little ones, dogs and distractions being in their way. But for the most part, they pay attention, and handle the inconvenience nicely or at least without saying anything rude.
Now, when people come to visit, the thing they like best about Scottsdale is the green belt and all of the different activities it provides. It is something the City can be proud of.
