Scottsdale’s Optima Sonoran Village sets the bar high for live/work/play communities, and not just because it has an on-site juice bar.

The luxury apartment complex sits across from Scottsdale Fashion Square and within walking distance of downtown. It offers a number of on-site amenities, including a dog park, indoor basketball and racquetball courts, and 5.5 acres of landscaped courtyards.

These live/work/play communities that provide residents with everything they need without leaving the property are attractive to high-paying employers looking to relocate to Scottsdale because they provide a luxury housing option for future employees.

For startups or Millennial business owners, commercial space at Optima Sonoran Village allows employers to invest in employees' well-being with team-building activities and retreats that may otherwise be too costly.

For example, Optima Sonoran Village collaborated with local business Kaleidoscope Juice to provide an on-site juice bar. (If residents are feeling extra sluggish, Kaleidoscope will even deliver a healthy snack.)

Other Optima Sonoran Village amenities include a state-of-the-art 19k SF fitness center, a putting green, outdoor and indoor pools, a sauna, steam rooms and a Pilates studio. By incorporating so many elements of the "play" component, Optima Sonoran Village ensures business owners can provide wellness benefits to their employees without having to pay for supplemental gym memberships at an outside health club.
