| Glendale, Arizona - 10/16/2012
Glendale, Arizona has just put in an 11.5% sales tax. In my opinion it is an embarrassment to the Valley. Speed trap mentality , high crime rate, and below par downtown makes it an ugly choice unless you want to pay extra to live in backwardness.[read more...]

| The Land of Sun - 2/24/2010
I would like to say hello to AZ, even though I've been here for three years now.
Coming from a small town it's different and takes some getting used to but I feel in my element, despite the heat.
Yes, everyone not from here know about the infamous heat, but what they don't know is that Glendale/Phoenix has everything a large city has, and everything a small town has, and everything they don't.
It's (relatively, as long as your not out alone at night) safe, convenient location, etc.
I could go on about why I like it here, but why not visit?
But try to during the spring when it's perfect.[read more...]

| phx-glendale - 10/23/2009
If your thinking of moving to the phx area,please give it a lot of thought.I'm nearly 60 and have lived in the phx area most of my life and I would dearly love to retire somewhere else.When I was younger Phx was a friendly and safe place to live, but not anymore.My own kids who are grown and raising their kids absolutly hate this place.For me what is so depressing is the fact that you can't retire to any place in the "country" around phx thats affordable and wont be swallowed up by developement.When I go to Kentucky to visit relatives I cant belive the differences in the people,lack of crime,lower cost of living.Phx is also getting hotter all the time. 100 degree weather from april to the middle of october just gets old.[read more...]

| A dry heat - 9/20/2009
It's true - 100 degrees here feels cooler than 100 degrees elsewhere. We proved that for ourselves the summer of 2009 when we went to Seattle to cool off. It was our bad luck to arrive there during a week of record heat and humidity. On the day we returned to the desert, it was 102 and humid at Seattle, and 106 here. It felt much cooler here because of the dry air.[read more...]

| Glendale Arizona - 7/24/2009
Great place to live; the housing is affordable; lots of fortune 500 companies world headquarters but not too many jobs due to the state of the economy.
Great housing, lakes and mountain views; schools are great too.[read more...]

| Living in Arizona - 9/22/2007
Well, it's finally cooling down in Arizona. Our summers can be pretty brutal, so if you move here - be warned! Aside from the crazy 6-month summers, Arizona is a very wonderful place to raise a family and enjoy the State's beauty.[read more...]

| Please Read Before Making your Decision - 5/21/2007
I have lived here in Glendale Arizona for four years now and I hate it more and more everyday. It is getting hotter and hotter and the crime is getting worse and worse. It doesn't matter what part of Glendale, or the Valley for that matter. People act blind and refuse to see what is happening in the Valley. If you really want to be safe and want a good life for your family you need to move as far north and west as possible. My family and I have been forced to move out of town just to bennefit the future of our children. I am a stay at home mom and housewife and I am afraid even durring the day to be home alone. The crime is moving further and further out. It doesn't matter what side of the road you are on, it is moving in. My husband and I are just biding our time and waiting for the day to move out of here. If you don't beleive me, just watch the news. My advice is; if you are single and enjoy the fast paced party life, this place is for you. If you are trying to raise a family and enjoy life, move to the mid-west.[read more...]

| It's CRAZY out here! - 8/13/2006
Three years ago, you could have moved in and bought a house for a reasonable price. Now? Forget it. Since the housing boom, you can't find a house at a somewhat decent price (unless you are moving in from California - which means you could buy Buckingham Palace for what you paid for your 1B/1B cottage). The houses are not worth what they have been inflated to. Houses that sold for $700k last year are really only worth $400k, but sellers are being stubborn. They think the house should still be sold for $700k and that is that.
And, if you are a teacher or other public servant? No way can you afford to live here any more. That's why I am leaving. Over priced, over heated and West Nile Virus. No thank you.[read more...]

| Great Place IF you Stay North - 3/28/2006
Glendale AZ is by far the best place I've lived in AZ. I've lived in Mesa, Scottsdale and North Phoenix. We have never felt more at home - however - I would caution that you stay North of Bell Rd. to find the "safer" communities. The Deer Valley school district is top notch, and people are very friendly. Not to mention we continually add on higher end restaurants, boutiques, etc. I do like the downtown Glendale area (way South of Bell) for some of the shopping and events they have, but would think twice about going there after dark unless there was a planned event. Phoenix is one of those places where there are no defined lines of good/bad neighborhoods. We have million dollar homes w/in blocks of a trailer park. It is a transient city and in much need of better public transportation w/the urban sprawl - but I do like Northern Glendale![read more...]
