Scottsdale Condo Mania

The Plaza Residences is a recent condo conversion project a short walk to the Kierland Commons (a high end shopping, dining, and residential area). In an area where condos start in the upper $300’s and there are several over a million, these condos are priced well starting in the low $200’s. Both 1 and 2 bedroom units are available, and some units have garages. Contact me for information about some incentives to buy now! Prices on one bedrooms will probably rise soon.
