A city in Maricopa County, Arizona, which is considered part of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Scottsdale has a reputation as possessing a highly affluent population, represented by its abundance of country clubs, golf courses, ratio of five nail salons to each square mile, and its retail crown jewel, the overpriced Scottsdale Fashion Square. This is part myth, however, as in fact many Scottsdale residents are actually middle class to upper-middle class and merely try to maintain an appearance of affluence by living off their overextended credit.
All the Targets in Scottsdale are full of cougars in velour tracksuits. Let's go down to Tempe Marketplace instead.

Get the Scottsdale mug.An affluent suburb of Phoenix that was criticized for being a haven for the nouveau riche 60 years ago, but now that the area is verging on old money, people have developed jealously towards it. People stereotype the area for expensive mansions, but the area is mostly $450,000 single-family homes. Scottsdale also has trailers, apartments, condos, and townhomes, but people focus on the minority super-rich in the area. There's also a huge difference between South Scottsdale and North Scottsdale. Living in Scottsdale does not necessarily mean you're stuck-up...it mostly likely means you want a safe area, good schools, nice homes, excellent shopping, and world class resorts.
Scottsdale's nickname is 'Snobbsdale'.

A lot of celebrities flock to Scottsdale because of its resorts, golfing, and low-key nature.

Get the Scottsdale mug.Scottsdale, Arizona. Even though it is just a dry, hot and dusty place with no natural resources, people there are often snobbish and think it is a very prestigious place to live because it has a lot of man-made features like golf courses and it is more expensive than other places in Arizona.

Get the Scottsdale mug.A cynical but sometimes realistic mocking of the name for a somewhat successful bit of gentrification known as Scottsdale, AZ.
"Snobsdale" has gained it's title by having both a name that was just asking for it and a population of people who have been completely invaded by commercialism, suburban sprawl, and completely cut off from the real world.
If you were to visit Scottsdale, AZ you would probably arrive at sky harbor airport. It would been wise to stick to the highways on the way to scottsdale, the 101 loop will get you there quick while enabling you to cruise high above the Maze of apartment buildings, gas stations, department stores, fast food restaurants, and bars. Before long you will arrive in alternate dimension where there are all the things you would see in the lower class areas but much much nicer. The fast food places have artwork, grocery stares have wood floors and are fully stocked and decorated for every holiday.
There is also no racism in "snobsdale" everyone gets there own Latino person to clean there 25 room house; black, white, asian, indian whoever. But it's not like the population isn't at least 97% white.
Scottsdale residents love their own community, the hundreds of giant churches are testament to that. Scottsdale residents are so dedicated to their community that they really don't know what going on elsewhere and can't be "forced" to save the crumbling public infrastructure in their state unless in has to do with scottsdale.
