Safari Drive: Downtown Scottsdale
Waterfront living in the desert isn’t easy to come by, but that is what Scottsdale’s Safari Drive offers its residents. (The mid-rise is located near the Arizona Canal.) Though its design is cutting-edge and contemporary, Safari Drive has quite the history: it was built on the site of the Safari Hotel, a hot spot that was frequented by the A-list in the 1950’s and 60’s.  If its back story won’t woo buyers, Safari Drive’s variety will as 29 different floor plans are available for purchase. Recently, plans for Phase Two, featuring 160 units in two buildings, were submitted to the Scottsdale Planning Commission. www.safaridrivescottsdale.com. Price Tag: $399,500 to $699,500
