A Remarkable Way to Live in the Light
Great architecture does more than create beautiful buildings—it shapes the way people experience everyday life.
Designed by acclaimed architect David Hovey, Optima communities blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors through expansive glass, lush landscaping, generous terraces, and light-filled interiors.
Every detail reflects a philosophy of living well. Resort-inspired wellness amenities, thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, and an emphasis on natural light and open space create environments that feel both sophisticated and remarkably livable.
While each Optima community shares the same design philosophy, each offers a distinctly different lifestyle.
Within just a few miles, the city transforms—from the walkable energy of Old Town to North Scottsdale’s premier shopping and dining district, peaceful desert neighborhoods, and the timeless elegance of the Biltmore area.
Location shapes not only where you live, but how you experience each day.
Whether you’re drawn to Camelview’s connection to Old Town, Kierland’s contemporary energy, McDowell Mountain’s quieter desert setting, or the established sophistication of the Biltmore Towers, each community offers its own rhythm of living.
Imagine beginning your morning in the terraced gardens of Optima Camelview, before choosing between pickleball, a workout, or a quiet swim beneath the Arizona sun.
By lunchtime, you’re walking to Old Town for lunch, galleries, or shopping before returning home to a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.
That’s the rhythm of life at Optima Camelview.
Positioned beside Old Town Scottsdale and Scottsdale Fashion Square, Optima Camelview offers easy access to dining, galleries, wellness studios, shopping, and entertainment while maintaining a quieter residential atmosphere framed by Camelback and Mummy Mountain.
