About This Area

Building casitas in South Scottsdale

South Scottsdale has the strongest short-term rental market in our territory. HB 2720 legalized ADU Airbnb use and most competitors haven't updated their marketing to reflect it. Lower HOA prevalence makes for smoother permitting.

The Studio and The Casita are the top performers in 85251. Their compact footprints suit the lot sizes perfectly and generate strong Airbnb income near Old Town.
