With remote work reshaping how—and where—we live, the “workcation” has emerged as a compelling new model. As a lifestyle shift, it’s a way to blend productivity and leisure in a setting that supports both the hustle and the exhale. And in Scottsdale, where the sun shines more than 300 days a year and the desert landscape fuels inspiration, there’s no better place to make work feel like a privilege than within an Optima® community.

Whether it’s Optima Sonoran Village®, Optima Kierland Apartments®, or Optima McDowell Mountain®, each Optima community is uniquely designed for those who crave a seamless work-life blend, offering a powerful alternative to the standard office—or the standard vacation.

Where Desert Beauty Meets Digital Productivity
Scottsdale has long been known for its natural splendor, award-winning dining, and cultural vibrancy. Now, it’s becoming a destination of choice for professionals looking to recharge without stepping away from their careers. The city’s infrastructure—from high-speed connectivity to world-class access to nature—makes it easy to plug in by morning and power down by sunset.

But while hotels and co-working spaces offer short-term convenience, Optima® communities provide something far more valuable: a place where remote work becomes a lifestyle. Picture a Zoom call with Camelback Mountain as your backdrop, a brainstorming session poolside under the Arizona sun, or a post-meeting hike just minutes from your front door.

Optima® Living: Built for the Workcation Life
Each Optima® community in Scottsdale is thoughtfully designed with the remote professional in mind. Spacious, light-filled residences come equipped with high-speed internet, flexible floor plans, and floor-to-ceiling windows that transform everyday work into something extraordinary. Whether you’re immersed in a project from a sunlit balcony or catching up on emails from a sleek kitchen island, your workspace never feels routine.

At Optima Sonoran Village®, you’re steps from Old Town’s art galleries, wine bars, and walkable charm. Optima Kierland Apartments® puts you in the heart of North Scottsdale, surrounded by upscale shopping and dining—with a sky deck that rivals any resort. Optima McDowell Mountain®, nestled at the edge of the preserve, offers serene mountain views, lush landscaping, and a peaceful setting that makes focus feel effortless.

Wherever you land, you’ll find an environment curated for both calm and clarity—making it easier to hit deadlines without sacrificing your sense of place.

Amenities That Inspire and Restore
The workcation model means access to experiences that recharge the mind and body. At Optima®, it’s all right outside your door. Break up your workday with a rooftop swim, a steam in the sauna, or a workout in a state-of-the-art fitness center. Take meetings from the lounge, sketch ideas in a sun-drenched courtyard, or unwind with yoga as the sun sets behind the mountains.

Need a reset between back-to-back video calls? Step into a landscaped oasis designed with biophilic principles that bring the natural world closer. These are not amenities for the sake of luxury—they’re tools for staying grounded, focused, and creatively engaged.

Connection Without Commute
One of the great challenges of remote work is isolation—but Optima® communities offer the opposite: connection. From resident events and on-site clubs to casually crossing paths in shared green spaces, you’ll find opportunities to meet neighbors, spark new friendships, and even build collaborative networks.

With flexible leasing and furnished residences available, these communities offer a smooth landing whether you’re staying for a season or finding your next long-term home.

The Ultimate Work-Life Balance, Just Outside Your Door
Optima®’s Scottsdale communities place you in close proximity to everything that makes the city ideal for a workcation: canal paths for early-morning runs, desert trails for evening reflection, and a cultural calendar that includes world-class art, music, and cuisine. From sunrise yoga to rooftop happy hours, the rhythm of life here is naturally restorative.

Your Desert Office Awaits
Choosing a workcation in Scottsdale doesn’t mean pausing your ambition—it means supporting it with space, beauty, and balance. And in an Optima® residence, those values aren’t aspirational—they’re built into every square foot.

So go ahead: bring your laptop, bring your goals, bring your appetite for sunshine and spacious living.
