Considering moving to Arizona from the midwest

I'm seriously considering moving to Arizona from Michigan by the end of this year, I was specifically looking at the Scottsdale area. I'll be new to the state, with no friends or family there. I'm just curious about what life is like in Scottsdale from people who have lived there for a while. Really would love to be in an area with younger people where I can make friends, I am a single female in my 30's. I've visited in the summer before so I'm okay with the heat. I absolutely love the scenery and love the outdoors and hiking, which is part of the reason why I'm looking at Arizona.

I appreciate all the input and advice I've received so far, thank you!! :)
