| - As my 1,000 review, I am going to review a home that was dear to my heart for several years. The location where I dated my husband, was a newly wed with my husband, and was pregnant with our first child. We were able to enjoy such a fun lifestyle when living at Optima and I think anyone who doesn't have kids should live in a place like here.
I don't know if you should be allowed to write a review for a condo complex you never lived in and so I felt it was only right for me to write this review as a former resident of the complex and not someone who just visits the common area or looked at one unit with a realtor.
I lived here for several years and loved every minute of it. Location, ambiance and amenities are all tied up into one nice little package here. Of course it's obvious that the location of this complex is perfect because it's walking distance to everything. My husband and I spent years enjoying Old Town Scottsdale on foot and there were some weekends when I didn't drive my car once. You can walk to the mall, restaurants, bars, parks and more. I think it provides the feel of urban living, at least as much as you can feel like you're living an urban lifestyle in Arizona.
As a former resident of Optima, I can say that the amenities were some of the best I've ever experienced. Who needs a gym membership when you have a full gym, indoor pool, indoor basketball courts, indoor racquet ball courts, a putting green and two outdoor pools? It felt like I lived in a resort. To add to the resort feel, we also had a concierge service that would help us make reservations, answer questions, etc. They were always so sweet and I enjoyed stopping in to say hi and grab my packages. Every condo had underground parking which meant that our cars never had to be victim to the horrendous heat during summer months. I never once had to wince while getting into my burning hot car and as soon as I parked, I would take the elevator up directly to my floor and my unit.
The units are all different so I won't review our condo itself, but we loved living in our modern condo and it's perfect for a young couple without kids or a retired couple who wants to be close to everything.
Optima holds a special place in my heart because I lived here during some very important times of my life and what an incredible place to call home during that time!
