Phoenix is a good place to live! -
9/7/2019I spent summers in Phoenix growing up and have lived permanently in Phoenix over 35 years now. The city has grown significantly in that time. There are many outdoor activities including hiking and bicycling almost all year round. The area offers many attractions with great museums, art fairs, farmers markets, casinos, ball games, and shows. Of course, the heat is pretty brutal at times from July to August but every public business, car or home has air conditioning so it is manageable. Flagstaff is just a couple hours away if you need to get out of the heat completely. Installation of mass transit has been behind the curve but the light rail system is expanding and it is a great resource to use to visit downtown and avoid parking. The freeway system has really connected every part of the valley to allow easy access to any area. Like any city, there are areas that have a higher crime rate and should be avoided. Overall Phoenix is a good place to live.
