Ahwatukee Foothills
Neighborhood in Phoenix, AZ
Rating 4.46 out of 5 69 reviews
#1 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: My husband and I absolutely LOVE Ahwatukee! We moved here from Orange County, CA, and will not be moving back to CA anytime soon. We have everything we need within 5 minutes driving. Plus, we are just 15 minutes from downtown Phoenix. There are tons of restaurants, bars, stores and services around here. The area is clean and safe, and everyone is super nice! If you are considering moving to the Phoenix Area, we highly recommend Ahwatukee.

Gilbert
Suburb of Phoenix, AZ
Rating 4.2 out of 5 1,142 reviews
#2 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Due to the rising crime in neighboring Chandler, Arizona, we decided to move to Gilbert and we are so glad we did. We should have moved here sooner. No more homeless people sleeping in your backyard, weird people threating you on walks through your neighborhood, finding used needles everywhere. Our life has taken a complete 180. I'm surprised Gilbert isn't the #1 ranked suburb in Arizona. This website must be getting kickbacks from Chandler city officials because there is no way Gilbert isn't a vast improvement. To anyone who is considering moving here, move here now! It's a fantastic place for all kinds of people and welcoming towards anyone.

#3 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: I have lived in chandler almost 14 years and I love it! Chandler is such a caring community and truly does for the people. The lifestyle, environment, and citizens in Chandler really build onto the strong city in our community. Not only are a schools A+ and #1 for Football (Go Wolves 4-Peat), but so much support and love from the community truly makes it happen. I honestly am going to live in Arizona my whole life and I wouldn't want to live in any other city than Chandler. Uptown and Downtown Chandler have some of the best hot-spots like restaurants, bars, and awesome hangout places. Chandler is such a pretty city that I love living in!

#6 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Litchfield Park has been my home since the age of 4. In my time here I have noticed that most neighborhoods are close to one another and there are several grocery stores and fast food restaurants nearby- which makes everything you could ever want very easy to access. In general, the civilians here are kind and helpful and the city overall is an easygoing place to be. I recommend people to move here because of the positive atmosphere with lots of parks for family friendly fun!

Scottsdale
City in Arizona
Rating 4.47 out of 5 336 reviews
#7 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Scottsdale has been a great place to live overall. It is well maintained and has great shopping and dining choices offering a range of cuisine. It also is pretty low on crime and feels safe wherever you go. There are also lots of opportunities to be outside with parks and green belts and lots of community members made good use of them. It is nice to see so many people out walking, running, biking, etc. and does being in a sense of community which can be harder to find nowadays. Traveling through the city is also fairly convenience as the city runs more North to South which allows people to make use of the 101 freeway fairly easily. Main arteries also run along the city to make side streets a viable option when commuting. Although they can get busy during high commute times and street lights do add delay. There are some challenges though. Compared to other areas in the greater Phoenix area, Scottsdale has expensive real estate. More diversity is also needed!

Queen Creek
Suburb of Phoenix, AZ
Rating 4.15 out of 5 217 reviews
#8 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Queen Creek is your small town living within the Big city limits. It has grown from a small farming community to a suburb booming with shops, restaurants and community and town parks. Queen Creek has a lot offer for the whole family. With the affordable housing and opportunities for small business to grow, Queen Creek is widely growing in popularity for growing families to move to. It's common to run into some friendly faces while out and about, or to make new friends while visiting your local store, bar and splash pad. Although it's growing in size, we feel safe with the amount of local sheriffs and fire personal around town. There is an adequate amount of sidewalks around communities and the town parks for exercise. This includes accessibility for bikers, trails for horse back riding, walkers and many more. At the top of the San Tan Mountains is a great view of the town. The town has various choices between charter schools and public schools for the children's education.

Current Resident: Paradise Valley is located in the perfect location, in between North Scottsdale and Old Town. It is a beautiful area with well cared for homes. Although in a major city, it has a small town feel with our own police and fire departments. The best part is its quiet and safe! I wouldn't change a thing.

Anthem
Suburb of Phoenix, AZ
Rating 3.91 out of 5 95 reviews
#11 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: I have lived in Anthem for almost 10 years now and from what I’ve seen this close-knit community is a great place to live. In comparison to other cities around, Anthem is by far the best. It is filled with a variety of grocery stores such as Fry’s, Walmart and Safeway for maximum consumer benefit. This community also has many schools at different levels such as; Preparatory schools, Public school, a charter school, and even different preschools and daycares to choose from. Each school has its own unique and secure campuses and because of the size of this community the fire department can arrive in record time as it was strategically placed in the center of town. Not only is the town as a whole a great place but there are also seasonal events! Such as, the fall and spring carnival, farmers markets, annual Independence Day celebrations with free fireworks and much more!

Peoria
Suburb of Phoenix, AZ
Rating 4.01 out of 5 616 reviews
#13 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: I moved to Peoria in early 2020 and I find that people here are very pet-friendly and calm. There are many places to hike and see beautiful parks and views. My neighbours are also wonderful people. Due to covid, finding outdoor activities, such as playing sports, in nature has been the most important and useful for both me and my family's mental health. The traffic here is usually light compare to Los Angeles where I used to live. Peoria has a family-oriented and relaxing environment. In terms of public transportation, Peoria does not have the greatest options. I have only seen a couple of metro stops and buses here as compared to LA. The weather here is quite hot and humid, especially during summer times, but what I do like about the seasons here is that you do have the option to go see some beautiful and the most perfect snow only 2 hours away in Flagstaff. It also hails sometimes here during the winter season. Overall, I would recommend anyone to visit this city if possible!

Rating 4.06 out of 5 49 reviews
#14 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Fountain Hills is an absolutely splendid place to live! With soft rolling hills, stunning sunsets, and a centerpiece to behold.

Located just east of Scottsdale Arizona, fountain hills is a smaller relaxed town with 15,000 inhabitants. Not only is fountain hills is a relaxing and sleepy town, but it also has stunning features such as the fountain hills park. Here you’ll find a massive fountain that rockets water more than 560 feet into the air! Surrounding the 100 million gallon lake that the fountain sits in is a lively park full of greenery. Just outside of that on Fountain Hills Boulevard you’ll find a variety of small shops, restaurants and condominiums with stunning views. At night, the park lights up and if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to catch the stunning sunset with the soft and smooth mixing of orange, purple and red hues in the sky.

Fountain Hills is perfect for anyone who wants a sleepy, relaxing and overall fun and stunning place to live.

#16 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: I would say that neighborhood is important to me since I will be living in the area. I live in a wonderful neighborhood. All the neighbors are peaceful, friendly, and lively. With the many parks nearby they attract friendly people all the time and they make a great place to gather around and enjoy the air. A benefit in the Goodyear area would be the local grocery stores and supermarkets. They are nearby and it is easy for residents to stop by. The neighbors are incredibly friendly and always helping each other out. You will see kids and family outside having a great time. I can’t forget to mention how clean it is! It is very clean with beautiful sceneries. Waking up everyday to a peaceful morning and fresh air. I have never once experienced a bad situation. I enjoy living here in Goodyear rather than where I used to live. It wasn’t safe or friendly at all. The streets were always dirty and had people with bad intentions. Overall, I wouldn’t change a thing. I love where I am now!

Tempe

Rating 3.91 out of 5 868 reviews
#17 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Tempe is a beautiful, diverse city. The city boasts excellent parks, fun trails, and the amazing Tempe Town Lake. The parks, for the most part, are very safe. In North Tempe, you will find urban campers using the park ramadas or benches. Kiwanis Park seems endless when you are walking the trails next to huge ponds. Tempe Town Lake is right on the north side of campus and has paddleboard, kayak, boat, the new swans, and paddleboat rentals for the water. They also have multi-seater bikes for rent too. Arizona State University adds so much character and fun to the city. The students make anyone feel young, especially those living close to the university! Tempe has awesome, locally owned restaurants. You can find anything to eat from ethnic food, bakeries, great breakfast spots, and fun nightlife that are all locally owned. I've lived here for 20 years, and I would not live anywhere else!

Mesa

#18 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Mesa, Arizona is an amazing city. It is the third largest city in the state. and is filled with museums, art work, hiking opportunities, and delicious food and drink. You may be in the middle of the desert, but Mesa even has two rivers!
Mesa has many attractions and provides many place's to enjoy the beautiful landscapes and places to visit for culture.

I have been impressed by the new light rail that has provided easier travel for commuters as well as boosting the local business profits. It is considered to be a positive addition to the city of Mesa.
Welcomed By Sculpture On The Streets, You might just see Humpty Dumpty or a mama bear waiting on a Mesa street corner. But don’t worry that you’re starting to hallucinate from the sweltering Arizona heat—they’re part of the 38 sculptures in the city’s Growing Permanent Sculpture Collection. Bring a map and find all of them.

Mesa has been amazing by pulling together thru this pandemic.

#19 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: Phoenix is a wonderful city! Until the past few decades, the Valley of the Sun was a city of transplants and imported cultures. Over the years Phoenix has developed its own unique "Phoenix" culture. This is apparent when you attend First Fridays, try a local business, or go to school. The city is blessed with a diverse group of people with lofty dreams, and the passion to fulfill them. The future is bright for Phoenix, and this is thanks to our hungry spirit of entrepreneurship, creativity, and inclusivity. Opportunities in business, education, and a safe and welcoming environment for families to draw more people to move here than almost any other city in the country.

It is a very welcoming and diverse place that has much to offer the residents and we have everything from cow farms to salsa dancing socials. The freeway does put a damper on things, because it takes away from the hometown feel, but it does make travel faster.

I immediately liked this area when I first saw it. This is one of the few areas in Phoenix where all the buildings are NOT a different shade of brown. We have pink buildings, purple buildings, blue buildings, green buildings, murals, palm trees, and even an artificial forest. Can see the mountains from any street in any direction. Bike friendly.

#25 Best Places to Raise a Family in Phoenix Area
Current Resident: I grew up in nearby Litchfield Park in the 80's/90's and had a few friends from the Clearwater Farms neighborhood in Citrus Park. I absolutely fell in love with the area and the rural lifestyle so when it came time to buy a place of my own and raise a family this is where we laid our roots. The homes are all unique and the streets are pedestrian and horse friendly. Our neighbors are true friends, supportive and vigilant. It's more than community it's a bond, like family we really watch out for each other out here. It has been amazing to raise children and teach them to grown their own food and raise their own livestock. The irrigation makes for big trees and green grass so it just has a different feel out here. The area around us is starting to grow rapidly. Developers have bought out the farm lands and are building high density tracts that are in stark contrast to the existing area, the orchards are all but disappeared but overall my experience here has been excellent.

Rating 4.22 out of 5 89 reviews
Works Here: Bullis is amazing! I am so impressed with the curriculum. Teachers challenge students academically, yet they incorporate a joyful hands-on learning experience. The enriching opportunities are endless in academics, arts, athletics, and service, which provides a well-rounded education and cultivates respect for others, confidence, and the joy of discovery. Faculty, students, and parents are incredibly welcoming and friendly. I grew up in the DC area and assumed a different experience. However, the modern-day folklore that lingers — nothing could be further from the truth! Everyone I've met is genuinely kind, caring, and helpful. I am thrilled to be a part of the Bullis community.

Rating 4.88 out of 5 32 reviews
Alum: As a Veritas graduate, I’m very honored to be part of such a diverse and international group of students and schools. I’m so happy to see the many campuses our small school has become, especially the campuses in China and Hungary. Pretty cool. In today’s atmosphere of people looking inward and becoming a littke too nationalistic, it’s great to see my school consistently looking outward and being inclusive of the world we live in. Too many “Christian” schools discriminating. As a minority, I always felt welcome. As a graduate, I was able to utilize a lot of what I learned on the collegiate level, especially the Thesis project and the years of learning Latin (don’t worry, you may not know it now, but will realize on the future, those years are worth it). I’m Very proud to be a Veritas Spartan. Proud of what the Elgut’s have done! Wow! Way to go, Veritas!

Rating 3.73 out of 5 113 reviews
Senior: I have been going to KIPP Dc College Prep since I have been in the 8th grade and I am currently in the 12th grade. My experiences over the year were neutral and encountered both good and bad at KIPP DC.First I think the curriculum is great at KIPP the teachers are very friendly and they will help guide you to understand and have fun with your learning. This has personally helped me excel in my learning.I really have a good connection with my teachers.As far as my bad experiences at KIPP I feel like the learning experience is good and bad depending on who you work around and who you spend your time with. I am not sure if all the students at KIPP are welcoming ,but KIPP as a whole does have its moments when we come together and share positive vibes.The sports and clubs are also very fun along with football, basketball, dance,musical theater, and more.Plus not to mention KIPP sets you up pretty good for college and the workforce.
