Current Resident: It's a wonderful neighborhood. Lived here for almost 30 yrs. Never had any crime but we watch out for each other. We have our own personal neighborhood watch. Have have deterred a possible break in. Lovely neighbors. Now that we got speed bumps it has finally slowed down the speeders. Never plan on moving out!... Read 3 reviews

Current Resident: I love being in Holbrook because of the people, jobs, and affordability. You will never meet one person who isn't friendly and helpful. The jobs are diners or small franchises, perfect for high school students who want to work part time, and everyone gets home on time for dinner. As well as the jobs, the stores in this small town are so affordable, people can buy multiple property if their hearts desired. All in all, this is the type of cozy small town you see in the movies.... Read 42 reviews

Current Resident: This small town has the perfect atmosphere for raising children, furthering your self, and thriving as a person. 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.... Read 82 reviews

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.... Read 1,800 reviews

Current Resident: I love that Glendale is a good location in between vibrant cities like Phoenix and Peoria. I love the beautiful mountainous views that can be seen from all different angles! I would like to see Glendale host more activities for the communities. Some activities could include sports challenges, picnics, and hiking. I love how the state fair brings people all over the state together and I would love for small events to be held in Glendale as well! Glendale should also promote recycling, as the world needs to become more eco-friendly!... Read 816 reviews

Current Resident: Interesting, bustling, safe area. Lots of homeless people. I have 2 grocery stores within walking distance. Wish there were more places open past 9pm-11pm. 20 minutes to ASU. 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.

Niche User: I kniw putting 5 stars on a town you've not lived in mightcseem strange but after having read about it, it sounds wonderful. Some reviews clamor for entertainment fir kids and teens but Americans during previous NORMAL generations entertained themselves, it was called using your mind, hobbies, Boy Scouts, hiking, building small projects, make a kite and fly it,, wood craving,, self reliance,, growing food. We learn till we die. WHO on God's green earth wants the heartache, electronic mindless syndrome of city mania along with trouble and traffic. Drive to Phoenix if you want that. GOD bless....

Current Resident: I've lived in Parker for the past 18 years, and its a wonderful small town. Everything is less than 5 minutes away with very little traffic. Right next to the Colorado River for watercraft fun, and desert fun as well! The only down fall is that we wish there were more opportunities here. More work options, more food, options, etc. We may have the basics, but the basics is great.... Read 26 reviews

Camelback East is a quieter, older Phoenix neighborhood that is close enough to downtown to have easy access to Phoenix's finest restaurants, sporting arenas, and entertainment.... Read 7 reviews

Current Resident: Tucson is the destination I would always like to reside in. It's a developing city with plenty of fast growing changes in the business culture. Comfortability comes easy in Tucson since it has plenty of options for food, active living, options for the elderly, a tight knit medical community, a diverse setting of people who develop different parts of the city to integrate efficiently, and cheerful and helpful citizens. While this Southwest City has its problems with safety so to speak (historically speaking) most places have become extremely safe especially when you travel in small groups or at least attempt to not mind the street dwellers of the community. While racially fueled gang violence was once a problem, nearly all members of the community now bond over culture as a main attraction to the city. No matter what your interest is, Tucson probably has it somewhere!... Read 1,513 reviews

Current Resident: Casa Grande has a very diverse and safe family environment. I enjoy the fact that it is a smaller city within short distances of larger ones such as Phoenix. There are a lot of restaurants and plenty of stores to visit including supermarkets, cafes, and retail stores. Although it may seem small, Casa Grande is a growing city with a lot of opportunity!...

Current Resident: Sierra Vista is probably the best place to live in the country, but don't tell anyone. More people coming, especially from Liberal California, would ruin it. Has great weather, a small community feel, great conservative values, and is off the beaten track. Quiet, beautiful, peaceful. It will be perfect when all the haters leave! Ha ha....

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!... Read 954 reviews
