Keep the summer energy going a little longer
The calendar may be moving toward fall, but there is still plenty of summer left to enjoy in Phoenix. At Slate Scottsdale, the final stretch of the season can be filled with refreshing pool days, rooftop dinners, friendly competition, and evenings spent enjoying North Phoenix. Skip the pressure of planning one final getaway. Instead, turn your attention to everything waiting right at home. With amenities designed for relaxing, entertaining, working out, and spending time with friends, you can make these last summer weekends count.
Start summer days from a home you love
Your plans don't have to begin the moment you wake up. Give yourself a slower morning at Slate Scottsdale and enjoy the features that make your apartment an inviting place to spend the day.
One-bedroom, two-bedroom, and loft layouts feature marble-style quartz countertops and backsplashes, waterfall quartz kitchen islands, Café Series stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, designer matte black fixtures, and hardwood-style plank flooring. Full-size washers and dryers make everyday routines easier, while oversized closets give you plenty of storage.
Your home also features smart technology for door locks, thermostats, lights, and sensors. Select residences take things even further with wet bars and wine chillers, mountain views, high ceilings, and surround sound with Bluetooth connectivity.
Prepare brunch in your kitchen, turn on your summer playlist, and enjoy having nowhere else you need to be.
Make the pool your afternoon destination
When the Phoenix sunshine is at its brightest, head straight for the heated resort-style pool. Take a refreshing dip, relax poolside, or move over to the hot tub when you're ready for some downtime.
Pool day doesn't have to end when everyone gets hungry. The outdoor kitchen and gourmet BBQ grilling stations give you an easy way to turn an afternoon swim into an evening cookout.
When you're ready for a little friendly competition, challenge your friends to pool or shuffleboard. Slate Scottsdale offers both indoor and outdoor options, so you can keep the games going whether you want to enjoy the sunshine or cool down indoors.
Take summer dinner to the skydeck
Some of the best summer plans happen after the sun starts going down. Head up to Slate Scottsdale's skydeck and enjoy the views while preparing something delicious on the gas BBQ or pizza oven.
Turn it into pizza night with friends. Bring your favorite toppings, make a few different combinations, and settle in as another Arizona evening unfolds around you. It is an easy way to make dinner feel like an event without having to make a reservation.
The courtyard offers another place to spend your evening, complete with fire features that create an inviting setting for catching up after dinner.
Plan a night in without staying in your apartment
When the heat has you ready to retreat indoors, Slate Scottsdale has plenty more to explore.
Head to the resident clubhouse and grab something from the coffee bar before deciding where the day takes you. The community also features a lavish bar with a demonstration kitchen, giving you another setting for food, entertaining, and socializing.
Movie night can get an upgrade, too. Theater-style seating and multi-screen entertainment make it easy to turn a night at home into your own movie marathon or watch party. A multipurpose event room provides another space for community gatherings, while monthly resident events can add something different to your summer social calendar.
With so many options indoors, staying home for the weekend doesn't have to mean staying on the couch.
Give your routine an end-of-summer refresh
Summer can be relaxing and energizing. Slate Scottsdale's state-of-the-art fitness center and free weights area give you the resources to fit movement into your plans whenever you're ready.
Start your morning with a workout before heading to the pool, or save your fitness session for later when you want an indoor escape from the Arizona sunshine.
Need to get a little work done first? The business center includes rentable coworking spaces and a private conference room. Finish your to-do list, close the laptop, and get back to enjoying the season.
Your pup can have a summer reset, too. Slate Scottsdale is a pet-friendly community with a dedicated pet run and dog washing area, making it easy to give your four-legged roommate some attention before heading back inside.
Make North Phoenix part of your summer plans
Once you're ready to venture beyond the community, Slate Scottsdale puts shopping, dining, entertainment, and recreation nearby. The community is close to Reach 11 Sports Complex and destinations around Scottsdale Road and Mayo Boulevard.
You can also plan an afternoon or evening around Scottsdale Quarter or Kierland Commons. Browse the shops, meet friends for dinner, grab dessert, or simply change up your surroundings for a few hours.
With Loop 101 nearby, you can explore more of the Valley before heading back home for a quieter end to the evening.
Give summer the finale it deserves
There is no rule saying the final weeks of summer have to feel like a countdown. Fill them with the experiences you haven't gotten enough of yet.
Take another dip in the pool. Host pizza night on the skydeck. Challenge your friends to shuffleboard. Plan a movie night. Try a new workout. Attend a resident event. Explore somewhere new around North Phoenix. Then do it all differently the following weekend.
At Slate Scottsdale, summer doesn't have to fade quietly. Give the season a proper finale and enjoy everything that makes home an exciting place to be.
