As the Arizona desert transitions into the cooler embrace of fall, the Mesa Arts Center is gearing up to offer an exciting lineup of events and exhibitions that perfectly align with Optima®’s commitment to fostering vibrant cultural experiences in our communities. Just a short drive from Optima Sonoran Village®, Optima Kierland Apartments®, and Optima McDowell Mountain®, the Mesa Arts Center provides an incredible opportunity for residents to immerse themselves in the rich artistic and cultural scene that thrives in the Valley of the Sun.

At Optima®, we are deeply committed to creating and sustaining vibrant communities that celebrate the natural beauty of their surroundings. Our properties in the Scottsdale area, including Optima Sonoran Village®, Optima Kierland Apartments®, and Optima McDowell Mountain®, are situated in some of the most stunning desert landscapes in the world. A key part of our commitment to these environments is not just preserving them, but also fostering a connection between our residents and the natural world. One of the local treasures that exemplifies this mission is the Parsons Field Institute within the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy.

For Optima® residents, the focus on a healthy, active lifestyle is a core component of community living, supporting our emphasis on wellness and connection to nature to foster physical health and mental well-being. One of the most exciting extensions of these lifestyle values for our residents at Optima Sonoran Village®, Optima Kierland Apartments®, and Optima McDowell Mountain® is the proximity to Papago Park, a local treasure that offers diverse hiking experiences amid the stunning backdrop of the Sonoran Desert. Just a short drive from these Optima® communities, Papago Park is the perfect destination for residents looking to engage in outdoor activities, appreciate natural beauty, and enjoy the unique landscapes that Arizona has to offer.
