Hi Howard ...
I love the weather here (yr-round) and the area I live in has sidewalks, bike/walking paths
running parallel to many roads and people are friendly. And it's quiet where I live...
unlike downtown.
The down side is that right now housing is astronomical. I need a Med-gap program
and AZ has only ONE for those under 65 and it's $4000 a yr and pays diddly squat.
As with any place, it has its ups & downs. Right now EVERYONE wants to move to the
southwest so housing prices are CRAZY.
Tombstone is quite far southeast of us (2 hrs or more) and I've never been.
I ended up here (I'm from the northeast) as hubby got a job transfer. They
moved us 3000 miles then decided to lay 400 engineers off only 8 months
later! No job prospects yet so we're sitting tight, living frugally and waiting for
a housing market crash (inevitable).
Anything under $300K is not found around us (OR it's a shitshack) so click on
$300,000-$350,000 to see the average modest homes.
We are renting & have great landlords.

This is the time in AZ I have to be careful out in the sun. All summer I didn't just sit in the sun and read, I stayed in the shade. But now that it's cooling off, I sit for hours in the sun. It feel so good on my shoulders. Being from Seattle, I feel like I'm missing my chance if I go inside. So my neck and nose are bright red. Once the sun goes down it gets cold, so I try and get as warm as I can... It gets freezing once the sun goes down, As low as 64.............. brrrrrrrrrr
