Lived in the Phoenix area for two years from 2010-2012. Major thing to note:
--You will miss green and water, no matter how much you think you won't.
--Zoning in Phoenix is horrible. Bad areas/farms next to strip clubs next to expensive neighborhoods.
--Plenty of stuff to do outdoors in the winter
--For suburbs, probably stick to the east half of the city. I lived out west in Glendale/Peoria. Not bad, but had a better time in Mesa/Tempe out east.
--Traversing the entire city can take hours if you move to one extreme side.
--If you can afford Scottsdale, live there.
--There is good nightlife in Phoenix, but not much culture.
I'm sure I could think of more. Hope you like dust too.
