I moved from Long Beach, L.A. a few years back, and fell in love with the slower pace of NW Tucson and the mountains in Oro Valley.
Tucson has many benefits from lower cost of living, a great University as well as Pima Community college (campuses all over town)and sunshine.
If you want to enjoy a very unique nature -living in this desert town might suit you. I am still surprised at the amount of creatures and birds as well as vegetation survive so well here.
One learns to treat the hot summers here like the cold winters in other States. Stay inside in the A/C. Somehow the hot temps are manageable simply because it is dry heat -hardly any humidity until after the monsoons. There are various great spots to live here -and of course some rough ones (as all cities).
