Scottsdale Waterfront

This downtown Scottsdale district stretches along the south side of the revamped Arizona Canal on west Stetson Drive.

The creation of developer Fred Unger, Southbridge is a $41 million urban, pedestrian-friendly development notable because it only has independently-owned boutiques and restaurants; there are no chains.

Along with the Scottsdale Waterfront, it is one of the newest downtown Scottsdale revitalization projects.

Although it is only 3 acres, Southbridge packs a lot into a few blocks.

Part of the Southbridge Scottsdale district overlooks the Waterfront park, its tree-lined sidewalks and open air courtyards give it a European flair.

The Southbridge Scottsdale retail area is called The Mix.

This bi-level center is an eclectic collection of shops.
