Pretty nice city if you don't mind 115 in the summer. There's a number of CP'ers there.

My sister and her family ended up there for work after living in Ca and Wa. They love it. Big beautiful home with a pool...a must down there. I do not think they will ever leave. I love visiting them. Guess that is probably a drawback to moving to Phoenix I should be down there for spring training right now!

I spent a week there and that was enough to convince me I would never live there, I didn't like the landscape at all. No trees, no grass (except on the golf courses)...nothing green anywhere, just dirt and rocks and cactuses, I felt like I was in some kind of friggin' wasteland. I think crime is kinda bad there as well. The weather sure is nice in the wintertime though.

I spent alot of time there from '07 to '09 for my job. There are tons of other places I would live before I'd live there. You can get a house there cheap now, I'm sure. I saw the boom and then the crash in housing. Towards the end of my time there, unfinished new housing stood untouched for months. I doubt it's changed much.

It would be brutal in the summer, but nice the rest of the time. I certainly wouldn't miss midwestern humidity. Scottsdale is particularly awesome. But I'm told there's a vast difference between visiting the desert and living in the desert. It's not for everybody.

That is where I want to move to. Hopefully I am there within the next 5 years or so.
YAY for 350 days of nice riding weather per year! |

I love it there. I'd take that desert heat over this humidity ridden shit we get all summer. I looked in Glendale last year at homes while doing a Spring Training vacation. Those same homes I looked at are still vacant and have dropped up to 70k in asking price.
If I could, I'd move in a heartbeat. |
