Review of Tempe, Arizona


Love Tempe!
Star Rating - 4/26/2010
I just wanted to say, I don't care what the statisics say. I came from NY 16 mos. ago. Now my family and I live in Tempe and we couldn't be happier. I lived in NY state for 42 yrs, While I LOVE NY city, I CANNOT afford it. I lived outside the city ,About 2hrs. NEVER could afford to move back in. The jobs were not there and I won't even talk about the weather, HA! Tempe has georgeous weather and you don't get snowed in for 7mos. of the yr.
I've lived in the cold, the city , the country and now the heat! I'll take a HOT CITY, NOT FLA., been there done that, TOO humid, Any day of the week, Plus I feel AZ is a very gorgeous place to live!! Don't judge by what others say, try it out you may be pleasently suprised! No it's not near as expensive as NY either! :)

Hi Kathy ... thank you for your positive feedback. I have narrowed down Arizona as where I want to relocate to. But, I'm really really petrified of failing! So, I'm trying to map it all out so that I have a good plan. I am coming there to visit in June just to get an idea of how it is there. Hopefully, my job will transfer me and my job will be in Chandler. I just need to know what areas in Tempe that I should not invest if I buy a house or condo. Not only can I not afford to make a financial mistake ... but, I am alone and need to be in a safe as possible environment. Also, will I be able to find housing for $150K or less in a good neighborhood? Thank you!
