Review of Florence, Arizona


Not a good town.
Star Rating - 7/18/2020
I lived here for two years. The houses are nice, I liked the weather although it is pretty intense in the summer. But I can honestly say it was the worst move we made and after two years we moved. While there are without doubt some amazing people that live in Florence, the nasty people destroy that. The pure ignorance of people, their hatred, their racist ignorant views were not for us. I know all towns have a few, but this isn’t a few. We were glad to leave.

If you want to live in a place with lots of racist, nasty, angry, homophobic, anti woman men. This is the place. It’s a shame as it could be a great community, and it really is in many ways. But the bad ones ruin it. We were always to embarrassed to have friends or family visit. Each time they had they left with a bad impression. There is also a culture of see no evil hear no evil. Good people that just do not want to admit this is a problem. But it is.

We love historic, old Florence, after 29 years here, currently in Florence Gardens. We are not so fond of the newer part of Florence in the Del Webb, Pulte housing developments. We mainly stay in the old Main Street, historic part of Florence. I love listening to the older residents of Florence, born and raised here. Thank you.
