Best City in Arizona (Tucson, Flagstaff: schools, living in, safety)

[Decap]

I am considering accepting a job near the southern Arizona border. I have a wife and three children. My primary concerns are the safety of my family and a quality education for my children. Does anyone have any reccomendations for cities within a reasonable commute? Possibly as far north as Tucson.

iluvuzs-

You revived a thread that is six months old, and the person who posted it hasn't been back since then. So, it's not likely he/she will see your post.

There is a lot of information here on the forums already that you can read to get more familiar with the state. If you are looking for something specific, you can click on the search button at the top of the page and look for information.

sahuarita is a nice area. Sierra vista is also very nice and has arguably the best climate in arizona

The OP hasn't been here for months. I don't think he'll see your response.

I like Flagstaff---don't know how good the schools are there tho
You do get snow in the winter though and cooler temps than phoenix or tucson

You might look into Flagstaff area.

Want to know as much about Sierra Vista as possible. We are considering a move there in the next 2-3 years. We have an 11 year old who is a bit nervous about living in the desert but we told him we would get a few 4 wheelers to ride on the property. Any help would be great.
