Scottsdale Quarter — Local services in Scottsdale

Amazing potential, terrible practices. Unfortunately due to property owners that are price gouging out the businesses here, we are losing the best places of the Quarter. High-end chain stores are able to pay these crazy prices, and because of that they won’t even negotiate rent prices with smaller places that have been responsible for creating a great community and experience at the Quarter.

Some nights they do have louder bands, but even if you can't hear each other, that's ok. That means the food...

Scottsdale Quarter has a great selection of shops and restaurants, and the overall concept is really appealing. However, the movie theater now feels like a rundown afterthought. What used to be a nice, enjoyable theater experience now seems creepy and poorly maintained.

On top of that, the parking situation is a nightmare. There are garages at either end of the complex, but they are not conveniently located, and trying to find a parking spot is frustrating. For a place that wants to feel upscale and modern, they really need to reinvest in both the entertainment experience and the infrastructure.

There is still a lot to enjoy at Scottsdale Quarter if you are shopping or grabbing a bite, but if you’re expecting a seamless, premium experience across the board, just know it falls short in a...
