$700,000 to $2.5 million

Don’t be fooled by the name. Safari Drive is not another concrete jungle. Far from it. With its collection of “boutique” buildings, art gardens, swimming pools, niche restaurants, chic boutiques and office space spread over seven city blocks, the 4.86-acre waterfront neighborhood near Scottsdale Fashion Square promises to be full of personality. What’s more, all the buildings are part of Scottsdale’s Green Building Program, meaning they’re devoted to minimizing environmental impact and reducing energy consumption. In other words, it’s a community with a conscience. “The common thread of the Safari Drive homebuyer is they seek great design, high-quality construction and finishes, a true foot-driven boutique neighborhood with authentic restaurants and specialty retail, not a shopping center with some residential attached,” says Chris Camberlango, co-principal and developer.
