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.

Good Day To All
So I moved to AZ becouse all the grate stuff I read about.Well
Let me tell you it's all lies .AZ is not a family state it's they do not care about you or your family.it's all about the Businesses.and the schools just push you kids through.if you are employed the company you are with can do anything to you and get away with it . if you don't make enough money for lawyers then you are screwed.employees don't have any rights.and if you have kids the schools are bad look at the reports on schools and you will see what I am saying . I have 3 boys that was special needs. and when I would ask for help from the schools they would tell me its the state that takes care of that . and the state would say it's the schools .and on top of that my boy should not of graduated they was not ready.so now its a nightmare. they can't get jobs or anything for they are lacking education we work with them all the time and it still don't help.

Prescott valley? - 5/31/2015
Prescott is just a nice gateway for people that lives in Phoenix and a way for many California residents who want to feel once in their life middle class with some money, being able to move to a big new house under $ 300,000. Prescott is very inconvenient to live as is very isolated, the dry climate and altitute is not very nice for people with some health issues. This area is very depressing. I have heard that the local police department is very corrupted as well.I know many people that had to leave this town because of depression feelings or because they couldn't succes in their business or even survive.Neighborhoods are a mixed of whatever: mobile homes, tents, nice houses and ugly houses all together.Salaries are veryyyyy low.But if you want to experience living live simple and not many aspirations : you found the place!Of course is beautiful compare to Phoenix and many other unattratctive areas that Arizona

Phoenix Area - 5/27/2015
I love, love, love the Phoenix area! In five years, I cannot say ONE negative thing about it. Climate, people, beauty, amenities, activities, cost of living, ease of getting around, crime, food, proximity to many day trips, including Sedona and the Grand Canyon. I miss it so

Arizona - 4/23/2015
Don't move here--save yourself. People who want “warm weather”?: I've lived in Chicago and I know the winters can be rough, but you will get the same with the ungodly heat and dryness 8 months out of the year here made worse by extremely hard water that's ladled in so much chlorine that no amount of filtering will make it better. It's a hot, dirty, dry and full of uneducated people whose life purpose is to destroy you. This place is soulless, unless you count Satan having a soul. It is expensive contrary to belief, especially since you will be nickeled and dimed to include people damaging you and your stuff just to cost you money that goes into their pockets. These people are desperate and will do anything to take your money and rape you of all you have. I came her for my PhD in community literacy and intersecting rhetorics of identity and it ruined my life, and this is coming from some who had it bad before. I could never have imagined that a place like this existed. This place is

We currently live outside Washington, D.C. in Virginia. I know it will be a huge life change, but we are positive about the move. Can anyone give us insight to Show Low?
