Turn every weekend into a neighborhood getaway<\/b><\/p>\n

The final weeks of summer are the perfect time to rediscover everything waiting just beyond your front door. Living at The Nines at Kierland<\/b> in Scottsdale, Arizona<\/b>, puts some of North Scottsdale's most popular shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations nearby. Rather than planning a long vacation, spend your weekends exploring new stores, enjoying an incredible dinner, or finding a new favorite coffee spot before returning home to relax.<\/p>\n

With Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter in the neighborhood, your next staycation can be as relaxed or exciting as you want. Start with coffee, spend the afternoon shopping, make dinner reservations, and finish the evening with entertainment. Tomorrow, you can create an entirely different itinerary.<\/p>\n

Start your Scottsdale staycation with coffee<\/b><\/p>\n

Slow summer mornings call for a great coffee stop. Head to La La Land Kind Cafe at Kierland Commons for coffee and a bright start to the day. You can also visit Press Coffee at Scottsdale Quarter when you want to grab your favorite drink before an afternoon of shopping.<\/p>\n

Once you're caffeinated, there is no reason to rush. Browse the neighborhood, stop for brunch, or make an entire morning out of discovering more of North Scottsdale.<\/p>\n

Spend the afternoon shopping in North Scottsdale<\/b><\/p>\n

Few neighborhoods make an afternoon of shopping as easy as Kierland. Explore Kierland Commons, where retailers include Anthropologie, Aritzia, ALO Yoga, Athleta, Arhaus, and more. Then continue your shopping day at Scottsdale Quarter, another major retail and dining destination in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Looking for somewhere else to explore? The Promenade Scottsdale gives you another nearby destination for shopping and dining. With several retail areas to choose from, every weekend can bring a different lineup of stores and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Take your time finding a few fresh additions for your apartment or wardrobe, grab something sweet along the way, and turn an ordinary shopping trip into a full afternoon out.<\/p>\n

Discover a new favorite place for dinner<\/b><\/p>\n

Great food is one of the highlights of every staycation, and North Scottsdale gives you plenty to explore.<\/p>\n

Make plans for dinner at The Greene House, or head to Postino Kierland for an evening of wine and shareable bites. Kierland Commons also features restaurants including Mastro's Ocean Club, North Italia, The Mission, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar, Zinc Bistro, and Snooze for brunch.<\/p>\n

Over at Scottsdale Quarter, Culinary Dropout provides another energetic destination for food, drinks, and a night out with friends. True Food Kitchen is another neighborhood option when you're ready to try somewhere different.<\/p>\n

Instead of visiting the same restaurant every weekend, turn the end of summer into your own North Scottsdale dining tour. Pick somewhere new, try a different menu, and make dinner the main event.<\/p>\n

Add some entertainment to your afternoon<\/b><\/p>\n

Your Scottsdale staycation doesn't have to stop at shopping and dinner. Explore the entertainment options around Kierland and Scottsdale Quarter to give your weekend a little more energy.<\/p>\n

Make an afternoon of shopping before finding somewhere for happy hour. Plan dinner with friends and keep the evening going afterward. Or simply grab coffee, browse your favorite stores, and see where the day takes you.<\/p>\n

With so much happening around this part of Scottsdale, you don't need an elaborate itinerary to make a weekend feel special.<\/p>\n

Return home to resort-inspired relaxation<\/b><\/p>\n

After a full day enjoying Scottsdale, coming home should feel just as rewarding. Relax beside the heated lagoon-style pool, unwind in the hot tub, or gather around the outdoor fire pit before ending the evening on your private patio or balcony.<\/p>\n

Inside your apartment, smart home technology, gourmet kitchens, premium finishes, and spacious layouts create an inviting place to continue your staycation. Make your favorite drink, prepare something delicious in your kitchen, or settle into your spectacular home after an exciting day around Scottsdale.<\/p>\n

Whether you're enjoying a quiet night in or already planning tomorrow's adventure, The Nines at Kierland gives you plenty of ways to enjoy your time at home.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Scottsdale all year long<\/b><\/p>\n

Some of the best vacations don't require leaving your neighborhood. The Nines at Kierland<\/b> places shopping, dining, coffee, and entertainment close to home while giving you resort-inspired amenities to enjoy when the day is done.<\/p>\n

Start your morning with coffee. Spend the afternoon exploring Kierland Commons or Scottsdale Quarter. Meet friends for dinner at a neighborhood restaurant. Then head home for an evening beside the pool.<\/p>\n

The end of summer is the perfect excuse to rediscover your neighborhood, but the experience doesn't have to end when the season changes. With so many North Scottsdale favorites nearby, every weekend brings another opportunity to explore.<\/p>\n
