PHOENIX
As the fifth largest city in the United States Phoenix has lots of people and lots to offer. From urban to desert, historic to new there is a neighborhood for everyone.
What’s great about Phoenix
Outdoor spaces - running, hiking or mountain biking Phoenix has trails, parks and open spaces easily accessible from any part of town. Everyone get’s to enjoy the beautiful desert and magnificent views.
Unique neighborhoods - Phoenix offers a great diversity in housing options. High-rise living in downtown Phoenix, historic neighborhoods such as Willow and Coronado, grass to desert.
Restaurants - You name it you can find it. From authentic international cuisines to fine dining it’s all here.
Sporting events and concerts. Phoenix is home to the NBA’s Suns, WNBA Mercury and Major League Baseball Diamondbacks. All the concerts come through Phoenix from intimate venues to Talking Stick arena.
Airport - Phoenix Sky Harbor is convenient, modern and close. Easy to park or get to by light rail.
Museums and Symphony - Phoenix Art Museum and the Herd Museum are gems. The Phoenix Symphony is world class.
Some of my favorite spots
Camelback Mountain - It’s a challenging hike but the view is worth it once you get to the top. Bring water and be careful!
Pizzeria Bianco - Chris Bianco put Phoenix on the culinary map with his pizza. In 2015 USA Today said: “Pizzeria Bianco has been named the nation’s (or world’s) best by everyone from Rachael Ray to Bon Appetit to Vogue. Pizza pundit Ed Levin, author of A Slice of Heaven, called it America’s best, while respected food critic Jeffrey Steingarten, author of The Man Who Ate Everything, rated it the finest on earth.”
Phoenix Art Museum - Consistently great exhibitions of painting, photography and artifacts. Although their permanent collection is not compelling the space alone is worth the visit.
