Review of Mesa, Arizona


Mesa is a little bit of heaven!
Star Rating - 8/25/2007
My mother grew up in Mesa but moved to another state soon after marriage to my father. She always said she wanted to move back to Mesa because it was a little bit of heaven. Several years later my father's career changed and he moved the family to Mesa. Sixty years later, I still agree with my mother--Mesa is a little bit of heaven! A great place to put down roots, raise a family, develop lasting friendships, and find the important things in life. Schools are terrific,shopping malls,restauarants,theatres,parks,churches,and medical facilities are plentiful. Streets are wide with a grid easy to understand and navigate. Housing is plentiful. Utilities and taxes economical! The population is growing--so are amenities and transportation. Yes, it gets hot--but everything is air conditioned and you adjust by staying indoors or finding a nice pool. Lakes and rivers are close by. Mountains and winter skiing are only 3 hours away. If your career path or social interests are not met here, you can find most anything in Tempe, Scottsdale, or Phoenix--all within 15-30 minutes. Come on over--we've got everything but St Peter.
