Great most of the year
Peoria, AZ (suburb of Phx) a great place to live 8 months out of the year due to it's mild, dry climate. I always feel like I am on vacation! It is sunny and bright with low humidity and beautiful surroundings. There are many outdoor activities you can do including biking, hiking, tennis, and of course golfing. The best thing about the location is that if I want to get out of the heat in the summer, I can drive a couple hours north to Sedona or Flagstaff or 5 hours west to any location in Southern California. Airfare is also inexpensive (usually around $100 roundtrip) to Southern California and Las Vegas if you want to get away for a weekend.
Although I think the desert is beautiful, I do miss the greenery you get in a location that has more annual rainfall. I just don't miss the rain. When it does rain in Phoenix, it is a real treat and welcomed. Beautiful lightning storms that fill up the sky!
