Buckeye, Arizona SperlingViews

Buckeye is experiencing growth due to so many people moving into the Phoenix metro area, but it is not so great. To begin with if you are moving here to work in Phoenix and think that the low home price in Buckeye is a great deal you need to think about what you are sacrificing. There are not the same city services such as parks and libraries as there are in Phoenix and when you add in an hour commute to get into Phoenix it sucks. On top of that the temperature here is 3 or 4 degrees hotter than in Phoenix. That doesn't sound like much but when it's 115 degrees outside it makes a difference. Even with the explosive growth that is going on in Buckeye most of the area is undeveloped and smells like cow crap. We are moving out as soon as possible.
