text: can anyone recommend a great apartment complex around scottsdale, az or glendale, az?? relocating from ny, and hoping for a better quality of life.  looking for a nice place for young professionals with decent amenities, low crime, & not noisy or a constant party scene better skip glendale (and the whole west side) unless you have to be close for work, north scottsdale is much better. "east of central" better than "westside". tt will be a big change, socially and culturally from ny...no neighborhoods...no mixing of races, cultures or economic levels. not much culture, period.,,restaurants are way behind the times...no good ethnic foods. just plain middle-american life with an unhealthy dose of bigotry thrown in.  good luck...for me it's a nice place to visit (spent alot of time with grandparents there 50-80's, still visit now), but i wouldn't want to live there.
