Lofty Goals For Downtown Phoenix...

Lofty goals for downtown Phoenix, from the Arizona Republic, reports on the loft and condo trend in downtown Phoenix and what is drawing residents to this lifestyle. The article states that these new urban pioneers gave up such things as patio homes in north Scottsdale's Troon North, a ranchette in Laveen, golf course views in Gilbert and sailboat living in San Diego to live in an urban setting. The article points out the positives of urban living- the close proximity to work and entertainment, but also point out that other amenities, such as grocery stores and salons, are still lacking. They also point to nighttime noise from bars and train noise as a negative of urban downtown living.
