A nice Place, but...

I lived in LP from May 2005 to Aug 2019, and I must say that it was a very nice area. It gives small town living, with moderate (Goodyear and Avondale) to big city (Phoenix) access just minutes away.
Unfortunately, as a single guy, who is unofficially retired, it was getting too expensive for me to continue to live here (I owned a Mfg Home in a MHP). :-(
Though, the city proper of LP is very expensive (some compare it to the Beverly Hills of the Desert), other areas in the 85340 zip code are a bit more affordable (from the mid 200s and up). But, I cannot see paying $400K+ for a tract home behind a shopping center.
Also, and like most places in Arizona, the summers can be brutal! Typical highs are in the 110s. And, the winters range from mild to very cold (temps in the teens occur nearly every year). Also, the winds can get pretty bad too (but due to the construction of my M/H, it was hardly noticeable inside).
