Info on Phoenix area


Posted: Jul 8, 2010

I am looking to make a move (I'm 56, divorced, work at home for a local hospital, can keep my job and live anywhere in the US) and looking at Phoenix area.  Obviously I would visit there probably more than once before moving, but looking for someone who is familiar with the area.  I can afford a much nicer home there than I can where I am currently (Albuquerque).  Plus I want a change.  What's a nice area there?  What areas do I want to avoid?  I know it gets very warm there, but since I work at home I don't go out that much anyway it seems. Anyone have any opinions about Phoenix?  Thanks

I tried to email you but got an error message. I hear Phoenix is a dangerous place now because of the Mexican drug wars and illegal immigration. I live in Ohio and the winters are brutal here. Let me know if you hear of any other good places to relocate. Thanks.
