Optima Camelview

7137 E. Rancho Vista Drive, Scottsdale, AZ, 85251

Optima Camelview is one of the most architecturally interesting properties in downtown Scottsdale with 720 urban flats in 11 six and seven story terraced towers set in a resort like setting. It's located on the northern border of Scottsdale Fashion Square between Highland and Rancho Vista Drive. It's in a great location but right now it is not super pedestrian friendly; at least not like Scottsdale Waterfront is. Even though it is very close to Scottsdale Fashion Square there is a motel in between the two so it makes walking to the mall a little sketchy. The good news is that supposedly the motel is coming down in a year or so to make way for more retail and high end condominiums. Hopefully this will lead to better pedestrian access to all that Scottsdale Fashion Square has to offer.

When the developer first announced the community it raved about how "green" the project would be because of all the landscaping that would be installed. Optima claimed that they would install so many plants that it would help to counteract the heat generated from all the metal and concrete used in the structure. I thought it was just a bunch of marketing hype and an attempt to make a big deal out of a bunch of plants. Boy was I wrong. The landscaping in the community really is exceptional and adds a tremendous amount to the entire experience. Now whether all the plants can help reduce global warming or not we can only hope...

Building amenities include an indoor lap pool and spa, two outdoor pools and spas, a HUGE fully equipped fitness center, an indoor racquet ball court, an indoor basket ball court, a putting green, a large meeting room and caterers kitchen, concierge services, decorative water fountains/water features throughout the community, electronic and manned security, secure parking, storage, an on-site dry cleaning shop, and soon a restaurant and bar.

The architecture is really interesting and fresh. The floor plans are open and for the most part flow really well. Every condominium has floor to ceiling windows, at least one landscaped terrace (water and fertilizer automatically dispensed), nice contemporary cabinets, countertops and flooring. This is a building worth checking out.

noise

We hear foot noise from all units next to us, including the unit above. This can go on at all hours of the day and night. Anyone else have this kind of issue?

Why will the HOA double after all the units are sold. The HOA are already to much. In today economy I\\\'m sure they could get better prices for maintence. Are they just lazy or do they not care?

David - The requirement of a sound barrier underneath hard flooring is pretty common in high rise buildings, not just Camelview Village. Sound barriers include sheets of cork, thick felt and/or a thick gooey almost glue like material. I had cork laid under the wood floors of our condo. Are you getting a lot of noise or just the occasional annoyance? W

We've lived at Camelview for less than a month. Generally, it's been a good experience - except for noise disturbances.

I note in the CC&Rs that there is a mandated "underlay" for noise suppression in under the flooring. Can anyone tell me about that? Particularly since it doesn't seem to work.

All - the rental advertised for $1 is a typo made by another agent, not us. We use a live MLS data feed so unfortunately bad data entered into the MLS shows up on WKU and we have no control over it. The actual rental price is $4,400 per month. Sorry.
