With a daily high of 72 degrees, Scottsdale’s weather is ideal for six months out of the year. It receives significantly less precipitation than the national average and has far more sunny days. However, outdoor temperatures can soar well into the three digits in summer. Fortunately, assisted living and other senior facilities typically have state-of-the-art air conditioning units.
The cost of living in Scottsdale is substantially higher than the national average and the Arizona average. However, health care costs are 7.8% less than the national average, which is appealing to many seniors.Â
Scottsdale residents enjoy a great golfing scene, with six local golf courses making Golf Magazine’s list of the country’s top 100 courses.Â
Scottsdale and surrounding communities have long been traditional destinations for snowbirds, which means that the senior populations expands considerably during the winter months. Whether this is a plus or a minus depends on personal preference — some don’t like the crowded conditions snowbirds often bring to the picture, while others welcome the opportunity to make new friends
Seniors feel safe in Scottsdale because the city’s violent crime rate is far below the national average. On the other hand, the property crime rate is only just slightly below the national average.Â
