North Mountain is an older area that still has lots of nice homes and neighborhoods. Upper middle class and somewhat wealthy folks live in the Moon Valley area, which used to be a pretty exclusive area, but has opened up a bit more in recent years due to surrounding development. If you are into the country club scene, this would be a good neighborhood for you. Lots of lawyers and doctors and entrepenuers. Rents have typically been higher in Moon valley than in say, Sunnyslope, where low income housing and crime makes life is a bit more risky! The rest of North Mountain residents are middle class folks who work hard and enjoy the local businesses in the area. This is a good area of Phoenix if you wanna be within quick reach of all of hot spots, but stay off the beaten path.

Many parks have been established to preserve the desert landscape in areas that would otherwise quickly be developed with commercial and residential zoning. The most noteworthy park is South Mountain Park, the world's largest municipal park with 16,500 acres; others include Camelback Mountain, and Sunnyslope Mountain, also known as "S" Mountain.
Phoenix is home to a large number of parks and recreation areas. Many water parks are scattered around the valley to help residents cope with the harsh desert heat during the summer months.
Several music venues take place around Arizona, but primarily in and around downtown Phoenix and in Scottsdale. One such venue is the Phoenix Symphony Hall, where performances from groups such as the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, Arizona Opera and Ballet Arizona often occur. Another venue is the Orpheum Theatre which is home to the Phoenix Metropolitan Opera. Concerts also regularly make stops in the area. Venues for concerts include the US Airways Center and the Comerica Theatre in downtown Phoenix, Cricket Wireless Pavilion in Maryvale, Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, and Gammage Auditorium in Tempe. Since 2002, Phoenix has also seen a rapid growth in local arts through Artlink Phoenix. Several smaller theatres including Trunk Space, Space 55 and Modified Arts support regular independent musical and theatre performances.
Several museums exist throughout the Valley. Phoenix Art Museum is the Southwest’s largest destination for visual art from across the world. Located at 1625 North Central Avenue, the 285,000-square-foot art museum stands at the intersection of Central Avenue and McDowell Road on the historic Central Avenue corridor.
