A Case for Repurposing Your Space in the New Year

It’s almost criminal: Leaving rooms in your home underutilized. While navigating the obstacle course of life, there are a host of reasonable factors that lead to this common home-functionality transgression. But the start of a new year is the ideal moment to repurpose what you have and reinvent such spaces.

A desirable feature of yesteryear, the formal dining room is now often deemed obsolete by many homeowners, who allow it to morph into an underused or wasted space. A contributing factor is the evolution of the kitchen into a multi-functional communal area. Fortunately, the size and central location of this former principal gathering room typically allow for plenty of practical new purposes.

Similarly, extra bedrooms are always useful – until they aren’t. These rooms typically boast prime real estate within a dwelling, yet unless you frequently host overnight guests, they easily befall the sin of neglect. If it’s become rare for you to have stayover visitors, the space is well worth repurposing to revive and add value to your floor plan. It’s your oyster for all sorts of possibilities!

Any of the following suggestions could inspire these rooms’ next roles. Here is a curated collection of the most actionable and relevant ways to inspire an uplifting transformation in your dwelling’s neglected spaces.

Serious Business

Particularly with recent shifts to a work-from-home situation, savvy homeowners have taken to the idea of repurposing their dining room into a home office. Adding a desk, shelves and a few chairs – perhaps from the dining table set – will easily convert an outdated area into a place dedicated to work or remote learning. Get creative with this project and give the room a true makeover with a bold new paint color, wallpaper and artwork throughout the reimagined space.

Child’s Play

If you have young children, consider creating a designated play area. You can maintain organization in the room by adding a colorful chest of drawers, whimsical hutch or handy bins for toys and game storage. Be sure to incorporate plenty of comfortable seating, and perhaps even a television to enhance the capabilities and fun factor.

Hobbyist Lair

Bibliophiles and audiophiles, rejoice! A dining room or spare bedroom could be reinvented into a library or combo listening studio. Any treasured books or magazines hidden away in boxes or spread among various coffee tables throughout the house can be placed on stylish display on dramatic floor-to-ceiling shelving. An essential here is at least one ultra-cozy chair. Vinyl lovers can add a turntable and settle in for undisturbed contemplation. Further elevate this converted space by introducing an elegant bar cart or armoire bar cabinet.

Mindful Movement

By Lauren Oosterlinck COLDWELLBANKERHOMES.COM

Fitness-focused households might find another use for an underutilized space – and pounce on the opportunity to build out a home gym. Relocate or sell any unneeded furniture, and as a first step for those with wood flooring, try laying foam mat overtop. Double down on the quality of this transition by installing a full-length mirror. Then comes the fun part: Decide which machines, weights or other equipment would optimize the revitalized room.

Every square inch of your residence matters, so if you discover any areas that have become abandoned, focus on the primary needs and functions that best serve you and your family –and reference these tips to get the most out of your space.

ARCADIA

Oasis in the Valley of the Sun

One of the most popular neighborhoods in Phoenix is a favorite community of Scottsdale as well – made possible by the fact that Arcadia actually straddles both fine cities. While the indisputable majority lies in Phoenix, the easternmost tip of the neighborhood actually has a Scottsdale address. Luckily, the two cities peaceably share claim to the community’s shaded lanes, lush lawns, spacious lots and some terrific dining and shopping options. These are all part of what makes the area so desirable and a real standout in the desert landscape.

With a rich history in the citrus farming industry, Arcadia fortunately still boasts beautiful and fragrant remnants of its agricultural past, which dates to the early 1900s. The Arcadia Water Company, incorporated in 1919, is responsible for a sophisticated system of irrigation that kept the original tracts of land properly hydrated and gave the community its reputation for having some of the most verdant land around.

Many of the homes from the community’s formative years still adorn the neighborhood and have been lovingly maintained and updated over the

decades. These historical residences are interspersed with others that represent a variety of architectural styles, from Frank Lloyd Wright-style ranches to Pueblo Revival.

Famed Camelback Mountain, appropriately resembling a kneeling camel, is a huge draw for hikers from all over. Incredible views of this Phoenix landmark can be enjoyed from Arcadia, and the neighborhood’s proximity to Camelback Mountain Echo Canyon Recreation Area makes it even more desirable for nature enthusiasts who like to hit the trail. Cyclists can join in the fun by traversing Lafayette Boulevard, notable for its accommodating bike lanes, and continuing to wind their way through Arcadia’s tree-lined avenues.

Residents also have an opportunity to revel in some prime retail therapy just minutes away. Scottsdale Fashion Square and Biltmore Fashion Park provide plenty of upscale shopping and dining choices, and of course the arts and cultural scenes of both downtown Phoenix and Old Town Scottsdale are near at hand as well.

ORO VALLEY

Popular Choice for Pleasant Living

Just north of Tucson is the bedroom community of Oro Valley, bordered on its east side by the Santa Catalina Mountains and a scenic state park. The convenience of its proximity to the “big city” and the adjacent park is a significant draw for the year-round residents as well as the large population with a second (typically winter) home in Arizona.

Pusch Ridge, a prominent feature in the picturesque mountain range, holds historical significance for the town. The ridge itself takes its name from George Pusch, one of the entrepreneurial immigrants who established a substantially large cattle ranch – the Steam Pump Ranch – in 1874 in the foothills where Oro Valley now lies. Despite early acknowledgement from Pusch and other pioneers that this was a desirable area to settle, it was quite some time before residential development really took hold – not until after World War II. Incorporation of the city followed in 1974. Since then, the number of lovely gated and golf communities has truly blossomed.

The various hiking and biking trails that snake their way throughout the region run the gamut of accessibility, from smoothly paved paths to so-called “primitive” trails comprised of considerably rougher terrain, accommodating all

skill levels. The importance of the town’s connection to nature is demonstrated by its popular Adopt-A-Trail program, which encourages local involvement in the upkeep and maintenance of this excellent source of outdoor enjoyment.

The well-attended Heirloom Farmers Market is another perfect example of the kind of pleasant community spirit that reigns in Oro Valley. Purveyors of fresh produce and various other vendors gather at Steam Pump Ranch on Saturday mornings, attracting browsers, tasters and buyers of all ages.

The sociable, family-friendly atmosphere in the town has been noted in recent years by a number of reputable publications and organizations. Among its impressive accolades are inclusion on lists of the “Safest Cities in Arizona,” “Arizona’s Best Small Cities” (with a 2021 population of over 47,000) and the “Top Ten Best Towns for Families.” Oro Valley schools also consistently rank high among other education systems across the state.

To these agreeable characteristics, add a beautiful setting and an extraordinarily mild climate. It’s no wonder Oro Valley has become a place that residents are pleased and proud to call home.

GREEN VALLEY

Sonoran Haven for Active Retirees

Known for its mild climate and desirable location, Green Valley, located in Pima County, is comprised primarily of active adult communities. Its neighborhoods appeal to those who are seeking a comfortable and richly diverse lifestyle. Just 25 miles south of Tucson in a basin of the Santa Rita Mountains along the western bank of the Santa Cruz River, Green Valley has it all – from convenient access to outdoor pursuits that include fishing, golfing and birding, to opportunities for arts and cultural appreciation.

The majority of the residential developments in Green Valley are designated for those aged 55 and over. Locals often travel by golf cart to meet up with friends for a cup of coffee, browse the farmers market for fresh produce and flowers or join a lively pickleball game. Members of the Green Valley Recreation organization enjoy privileges at its pools, spas, fitness centers and sports courts. There are also plenty of classes, lectures and clubs to suit a variety of interests, and the West Social Center satisfies those seeking theater and musical entertainment.

Nearby Madera Canyon, only 25 miles southeast of Green Valley, is a favorite destination for spotting wildlife, picnicking and hitting the trail. For exploration of a different kind, head to the educational Hacienda de la Canoa Ranch or the fascinating exhibits at the Titan Missile Museum, each of which offers a healthy dose of history. The unique village of Tubac is only 20 miles away, with cultural offerings throughout the year as well as the acclaimed annual Festival of the Arts that has been showcasing the handiwork of artisans from across the country for over six decades.

In the fall, the highly anticipated Country Fair White Elephant Parade is the perfect representation of the neighborly atmosphere that prevails in Green Valley. It’s an annual event designed to give back to the community while bringing everyone together in one exciting united celebration. With such a vibrant spirit, and so many activities to choose from in and around the area, it's no surprise that in 2020, Forbes magazine listed Green Valley as the best place to retire in the state of Arizona and one of the top 25 retirement cities nationwide.

PRESCOTT

An Outdoor Enthusiast’s Delight

A quick glance at a map reveals how Prescott earned its reputation as a nature lover’s paradise. Nestled against the sprawling Prescott National Forest to the west and south, surrounded by the beauty of Tonto and Coconino National Forests to the east and boasting easy access to photogenic Watson Lake, this town is an Arizonan treasure.

Juniper, chaparral, as well as ponderosa and pinyon pines grace the mountains and rambling meadows of the region, which enjoys temperate weather the whole year yet still manages to have four distinct seasons. The bordering parks offer innumerable opportunities for hiking and trailblazing, all just a short distance from the charm of downtown.

Nearby Watson Lake is a favorite getaway for residents, though there’s little hustle and bustle to escape from in the quiet historic community. The lake and its park simply provide another opportunity to connect with nature while canoeing, rock climbing, picnicking, fishing and camping. Four-legged friends may even be invited along for the adventure, with over 350 acres of pet-friendly terrain to explore.

Prescott’s past is preserved along its pleasant tree-lined streets, particularly on Whiskey Row, a block of downtown featuring saloons galore – a nod to its 1860s Gold Rush culture. Today there are also shops, restaurants and galleries among the plethora of old-time taverns. Back when Prescott was an active hub for prospectors, cowboys and other colorful characters, it was also the capital when Arizona was just a territory. This role as the figurative heart of the Grand Canyon State is further reflected in Prescott's literally central location.

Prescott continues to earn rankings as one of the best places to live in the entire state of Arizona. And if residents ever happen to find a reason to roam past the community’s picturesque avenues or beyond the peace of Watson Lake, humming Phoenix is less than 100 miles south of Prescott, as is Flagstaff to the northeast. Side trips to scenic Sedona or the quaint towns of Jerome and Camp Verde are also just a short drive away.

SEDONA

Bliss Among the Red Rocks

It is often said that the beauty of Sedona changes dramatically with the movement of the sun – so too does the personality of this one-of-a-kind town. Located in northern Arizona just south of Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona spans Yavapai and Coconino counties, and is known for its gorgeous red rock and breathtaking vistas.

In the early morning, the spectacular colors of the bluffs inspire tranquility and meditation, then the diverse arts scene starts to come alive. Late afternoon presents innumerable opportunities for settling in at local restaurants for superb dining, live music and incomparable views. As the sun sets, the shifting light creates a nature portrait like no other, to the delight of hikers, photographers and the fortunate residents who get to experience this ever-evolving tapestry every day.

The spirituality of the place is undeniable and is a heavy influence on the eclectic atmosphere. This vibe is reflected in the number of galleries and shops offering lovely works by sculptors, jewelers, wood carvers and weavers, all clearly affected by their surroundings. Such tempting merchandise can be found in clusters, most notably in the popular Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village, touted as the “Art and Soul of Sedona.” Each month, 1st Friday in the

galleries also provides ample opportunity to browse and enjoy these wares, as does the famed Sedona Arts Festival that takes place in October and has charmed art lovers for more than 30 years.

Some of the city’s oldest neighborhoods lie in Uptown, which is actually Sedona’s downtown area, and boast not only fabulous views but convenience to the popular shops and unique galleries. Private homes can also be found sprinkled throughout Oak Creek Canyon and in a wide variety of West Sedona neighborhoods, which enjoy easy access to the service organizations and amenities that locals require, such as banks, grocery stores, medical facilities and schools.

Sedona’s arts and tourism-based economy means that residents are able to enjoy a small-town lifestyle with the many benefits that visitors come from all over the world to experience – whether the vigor of hiking, biking and golf, or the serenity of yoga and painting are more their speed. The otherworldliness of the place can’t help but spill over into everyday life, setting a friendly, neighborly tone at even the simplest of local events, planned activities and regular gatherings like the vibrant farmers markets.

LAKE HAVASU

Blue Jewel of the Desert

In the instance of Lake Havasu City, it’s all in the name – the main attraction is the lovely lake around which activities and leisure in the community revolve. The beaches that hug the shores are famous for being a virtual oasis in the desert, with opportunities for swimming in the clear water and boating on the tranquil waves.

Located in Mohave County, Lake Havasu City was once just part of the rugged bank along the Colorado River. In the 1930s, the construction of the Parker Dam led to the creation of what now serves as a mecca for those who love the outdoors and make the most of using it as a playground. “Havasu” is the Mohave word for “blue water,” and while the lake is undoubtedly the star of the show here, the surrounding area also offers miles of picturesque trails, a variety of interesting wildlife and red rock vistas that all harmonize to create a true symphony of nature.

Once Lake Havasu City was established in September 1963, a vigorous marketing push brought prospective buyers to town, offering remarkable scenery and

a tempting refuge from cold climates. The city wasn’t formally incorporated until 1978, and decades of steady growth followed, with a population of over 54,000 by 2019.

You may have heard the tale that the London Bridge was moved to Arizona. Well, the story is true and it can be found in none other than Lake Havasu City, gracefully spanning Bridgewater Channel. It was carefully reconstructed after an elaborate relocation process from overseas and was officially dedicated in a well-attended 1971 ceremony. Today, it is a celebrated attraction among those who choose to traverse this unusual piece of history on foot, as well as boaters who anchor in the shadow of the iconic bridge.

Aside from the obvious draw of its striking landscape and colorful history, a full calendar of events – including boat racing competitions, classic car shows and a popular balloon festival – provide even more opportunities for fun and excitement in Lake Havasu City all year long.
