What BestPlaces Users Say about Arizona
Arizona is a southwestern state known for its warm climate, stunning landscapes, and diverse population. Many people are drawn to live in Arizona for its outdoor activities, affordable cost of living, and booming job market. However, like any state, it also has its drawbacks. With this command, I will summarize and include excerpts from user reviews about living in Arizona to provide a comprehensive overview of the pros and cons of residing in this particular place.
User Review #1: "I've lived in Arizona for over 10 years and absolutely love it. The weather is perfect for most of the year and there's always something to do, whether it's hiking, going to events, or trying out new restaurants. The cost of living is also very reasonable compared to other states." - Sarah T.
User Review #2: "I moved to Arizona for a job opportunity and have been pleasantly surprised by the welcoming community and diverse culture. However, the summers can be brutal with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees, and the traffic can be frustrating at times." - Michael R.
User Review #3: "Arizona is a great place for retirees with its low taxes and abundance of golf courses. However, the lack of public transportation and limited cultural opportunities can make it feel isolating for younger individuals." - Lisa M.
User Review #4: "Living in Arizona has been a mixed experience for me. The natural beauty is unbeatable, but the constant development and urban sprawl can be overwhelming. Also, the healthcare system here is not the best and I've encountered some issues with it." - David J.

Cheaper is better - 8/23/2006
I live in Yuma, AZ. I'm in the Marine Corps and live off base with my wife in an apartment complex. Compared to most places I know the cost of living here isn't too bad. The only thing to consider is the cost of electricity, considering its 100+ here for what seems to be half the year. Rent for a 2 bedroom 2 bath 885sq ft apt is 700/month including everything minus electricity, which at its peak can be about 160-180 a

Low Quality of Life and Poor State - 7/19/2006
If it were not for rich Californians and midwesterners, AZ would be screwed. Quality of life here is low outside of Scottsdale and Catalina Foothills. The state is being overrun with gangs and illegal aliens. This state is about to become the next California where the hospitals close, the jails fill with illegals, and the prices climb sky high. look elsewhere

Chandler, AZ - 7/16/2006
Chandler, AZ is a booming city and beautifully planned. I love it here from October-May but the summer month temperatures can be grueling. Schools are new at 25-1 ratio in our area, lots of employment opportunities and many recreational activities and multi-cultural society. Items that are frustrating are the drivers who constantly speed on average 20 miles about the speed limit, cost of living is very high and many illegal aliens which brings crime and lowers

Welcome to Scottsdale, Arizona - 7/11/2006
We think a lot of people are scared to make the move to Arizona because of our high temps but really we only have 3 months of really hot temps. The other 9 months are great. We moved here in 2000 and it would be really hard for us to live any place else. The desert has a beauty that is hard to discribe. We moved here from the midwest and feel we got some of our life back. Hiking and walking trails and so much to do. Sitting outside for dinner and NO BUGS. We even go walking in the hot months; just early in the morning. Great place to

Maricopa, AZ Population Boom is Underway - 6/30/2006
There is a lot of growth happening in the Town of Maricopa. This area has been flocked to by young families and empty nesters. The price of homes and quality of neighborhoods is what has made Maricopa the fastest growing Town in Arizona. It is a great place to raise a
