Downtown Tempe and Old Town Scottsdale have way more personality to their new projects than downtown Phoenix. I’m really not trying to bash the City of Phoenix but they can do so much better.

I live downtown and I love it. I don't notice the skyline because why bother when you're surrounded by mountains in every direction? The views are gorgeous, particularly if you live in one of the downtown high rises.
You're not going to find a better pizza than Pizzeria Bianco, and one of the best restaurants in the area is a hidden gem called Superstition Meadery. If you haven't sampled mead before, get a flight. Not only will you find something you love, you'll probably love every pour on the flight. There also isn't a bad dish on their menu. It easily has the best quality food in downtown other than Pizzeria Bianco.
I also love that I do not have to drive anywhere. This is where it becomes affordable. I can go a month without driving a car. Everything I need is walking distance. If I'm looking for entertainment, there's no shortage of concert venues within a few blocks radius, and 2 major sports venues.
You're missing out. Move downtown.
