Southern Scottsdale holds some of the city's oldest neighborhoods, developed from the late 1950s through the early 1980s, much of it primarily single-story ranch homes. At plan adoption in 2010 it held about 30 percent of Scottsdale's population, and most of its housing and commercial buildings were 30 or more years old.

Los Arcos Mall opened at Scottsdale and McDowell roads in 1969, closed in 1999 and was redeveloped by the ASU Foundation as SkySong, whose first office buildings opened in 2008. Several mid-century subdivisions are now on the Scottsdale Historic Register, including Town and Country Scottsdale and Village Grove 1-6 (both designated in 2005).

Mostly 1950s to 1980s single-story ranch homes, including Ralph Haver-designed and Haver-inspired mid-century modern tracts, plus townhomes, condos and apartments along the arterials. The plan expects change through infill and redevelopment rather than new subdivisions.
