Small town feel but still not worth it

My husband and I have been here for almost six years now and it has been a good place to raise a family(so far)It has some stuff to do I guess but mainly you spend half of your time driving down Bell rd or Grand ave just to get to the freeway which is a joke anyway.I have to say that the people are all really friendly and everyone seems to always have a positive attitude. For some reason though and it might be because everyone is all coming from somewhere else but there are some HORRIBLE drivers here and their not all old folks from Sun City either.If you have little ones then you will fit right in because everywhere I look there are toddlers and babies and more and more pregnant women. Not too much to do with them except go to the library ( again!) or sign them up for a class through the city, there are some other things opening I hear but who knows.My biggest gripe is the DUST!! It is soooo dirty here! Don't bother to wash your car cause it will be filthy again in an hour.Not to mention the inside of your house.There are no seasons to look foward to except HOT and not so hot and then nice.Hot not so hot and nice, over and over again. It can get sorta cold but not really. You never see fall leaves change color or smell the smells of fall or spring. Nothing like that, the sky is almost always blue which is really nice, and there are some amazing sunsets.Monsoon season will either cool you down or make you more miserible because it is super humid.All in all if you don't mind missing out on seasons or you don't care about looking at trees and other green stuff and you like to golf and love the heat, then Surprise AZ might be your future home. Hopefully it won't be ours for too much longer.
