A New Phoenix Rises
From a sprawling, sun-belt destination popular with retirees and snow birds, Phoenix is transforming itself into a hip metro with a thriving tech, culinary, and arts scene attracting millennials and employers as downtown, Gilbert, old-town Scottsdale, Mill Avenue in Tempe, and the Central Corridor give the city an increasingly modern, urban vibe.
ASU - a world-class Engineering, Supply Chain, Entrepreneurship, and Management school - one of the largest public universities also adds to Phoenix's attractiveness to both young people and potential employers. Phoenix's start-up scene, which was quite lukewarm until just a few years back is also alive and kicking though challenges still remain.
This new Phoenix (and Arizona) that has risen from the ashes of the real-estate crash - a Phoenix that has a diverse, thriving economic base coupled with its great weather, convenient location and low-cost living - features prominently among people all across the county and internationally looking for attractive metros to move to.
