| | | | | Celebrity Homes in Phoenix by Annie Celsia | | | However, you may be surprised to know that you can still own an affordable home near a celebrity’s nest in states like Arizona, the Grand Canyon State. Yes…you can live near celebrity homes in places like Phoenix, Chandler and Scottsdale. Several A-list celebrities call Paradise Valley and Scottsdale their home. These include noted actors, musicians, professional athletes and politicians.
Scottsdale in Arizona is the most-sought-after real estate market by the celebrity crowd. Scottsdale boasts several art galleries, museums, parks, grand prix tracks, open air theatres and polo fields. The presence of many golf courses in and around Phoenix has lured golfing pros like Billy Mayfair, Andrew Magee, Tom Lehman and Hale Irwin who own lavish homes in prime localities. Arizona boasts an eclectic cultural scene and also offers a host of sporting activities, like hiking, fishing and boating. Over 70% of the businesses in Phoenix are entrepreneurial, the cost of living is affordable, the environment is serene and the taxes are relatively low…no wonder, celebrities are flocking to this new real estate hotspot.
So, if you’re looking to buy property near a celebrity’s home, Phoenix, Scottsdale or Chandler may be your best bet, yet. Though real estate prices have appreciated in Scottsdale, the homes are still very much affordable. An average home in Phoenix still costs around $300000.
