I love Queen Creek!! We moved here almost a year ago from Portland, OR. I have to say it a completely different world!! We are in a lower middle class neighborhood (subdivision) and moved here sightunseen, we plan to move when our lease is up to something with a little higher price range and then next year we plan to buy a home in Queen Creek. I am currently a SAHM looking to go back to work and I think the commute is well worth the rural area of Queen Creek that we live in. It is pretty quiet, there is a little crime like pety theft but I don't worry much about my daughter playing outside. I like her school!! The class size is a little big but the buildings are new and able to accomadate a bigger class size. There are a lack of real restaurants out here but if you like fast food then its fine. lol. We did just get a Olive Garden and Dennys not long ago and I would assume other places like Applebees, Texas Roadhouse, Chili's isn't too far behind. I am getting used to the weather and it is hot but it really isn't too bad until it gets over 105. I have been looking for a job for a couple months now with no luck but I assume its because our country is still pulling out of this recession. But there are a lot of doctors offices, fast food places, grocery and retail stores, we just got a hospital, there are utility companies here and of course the city which are all potential places for employment if you have the experience. I really like it out here, this is home!! Out of any other place in the Phoenix area I think Queen Creek is truly the best, it is affordable for lower middle class and there are upper middle class homes as well for a great price!! Another small downside is you have to travel into Mesa, Chandler or Gilbert to go any mall or recreational things such as bowling, movies, but there is a lot to do!! Plus I assume its only a matter of time before we get more things out here to do as just 5 years ago there was literally nothing out here. There are other places such as Scottsdale and Gilbert but it is a more expensive.
