Review of Queen Creek Ariz,


Queen Creek sucks
Star Rating - 9/29/2008
I moved to Queen Creek 3 years ago from a more "central" suburb of Phoenix. I only chose Queen Creek because there were no houses available anywhere else in the metro area. I have been miserable ever since. The property taxes are outrageous & keep going up. Those taxes don't provide for fire service, so the "for profit" fire service in the area bills us $450 a year just-in-case they might have to come to our house. The properties all have HOAs (unless you have the luxury of affording a horse property). HOAs SUCK. I am sick of driving an hour or more to do ANYTHING. There are no bars in the area (except a couple of backwards country bars). Only recently have a few shopping centers opened up. No mall. No good restaurants. No good bars. No culture. Just a sewer smell from raw sewage spilled into the wash near my house. Property values have fallen to unbelievable lows. More than half the houses on any given block are for sell, others are for rent or in foreclosure. People can't give houses away in Queen Creek, yet the builders are building more. If it rains, ALL the roads flood & you can't get into or out of Queen Creek without a canoe (mild exaggeration). Since property values are so low, all the scum has moved into the area. There is graffiti everywhere, murders in the street a few blocks from my hosue, vandalized homes & vehicles, kids playing in the streets, garbage in the streets...I could go on & on. I can't wait to give my house back to the bank & get the hell out! Don't move to Queen Creek unless you want to live someplace that sucks.

This sounds like the exact opposite of everything else I've read over the past few years that I've been preparing to move there... maybe I should visit first! lol... I'm confused now. Everyone else says its perfect for young outdoorsy families and that the crime is super low and its a nice little town. ???
