moving to arizona
Star Rating - 8/11/2008
We are looking to maybe relocate ot arizona, it would be in the pheonix area but we do not mind driving. Would anyone be able to recommend a town to move within a 1 hour radius which would be a good place to bring up children. I have 3 boys

This would depend on money and what you are looking for...we live here and my rundown it: Scottsdale - very wealthy, superficial, snobby, LA "wannabees", but have good schools. North Phoenix/Deer Valley area - close to everything, reasonably priced, close to shopping, schools are ok,etc. Glendale/Peoria - ok, but less to do in general, not as nice as N. Phx. Sun City - retirement area, not good for kids, Chandler/Tempe/Mesa area - lots of homes, traffic coming and going to this area is bad, lots of car accidents, crime in certain areas here need to be checked out although I think more kid-friendly things to do in general. Anthem - further north, good family area, not as much to do, but nice and newer. Carefree - expensive, more touristy places, but gorgeous. There are obviously more I didn't cover, but personally, I would recommend the "northern" areas - but that is just my personal preference!
