The new Old Town offers everything from tourist shops to upscale art galleries..
In Short
With the notable exception of the 1909 Little Red Schoolhouse--now the Scottsdale Historical Museum--most the buildings
date back to the '20s. A laidback grid of wood and faux adobe with covered walkways, Old Town has ditched its utilitarian past to become a community of eclectic shopping. Its eastern end leads to the more sophisticated architecture of Scottsdale Center for the Arts, city government buildings, and a row of restaurants and bars. West of Old Town, across Scottsdale Road, is the famous arts district.

Great SouthWest Shopping.
Wonderful Galleries, great SouthWestern shops, enjoyed tinkering around the variety of stores for several hours in the wonderful desert
heat with the mountains on the horizon. Could have spent a lot of money if we had more time. Maybe next time!

Fabulous 5th Avenue.
One of the nicest and most enjoyable Old Town's around. A great variety of street festivals all year round, the famous annual Parada del
Sol, easy (and free!) parking, a nice mix of restaurants and cuisines, and more! At night, you'll find a world-famous club and restaurant scene; by day, tourists, families, shoppers - of all ages and incomes. The area is generally more upper-crust (you are in Scottsdale after all), but there are still enough shops with affordable goods to make it fun for all. A fabulous way to spend the day!
