Moving to AZ (houses, buying, schools)

[Lecia1965]

My husband and young daughter are thinking about moving to AZ. I would like to know the best place to raise a family that has a good school system. We are not sure if we want to buy a house or land and build a house.

Do you have a job lined up already? I would figure out where your going to work first, that way you don't move here and have to commute an hour to work each day.

I have a business from my home. The reason why I was posting was because we always wanted to live in AZ but we have no idea where to live.

Have you ever been here? If so, what areas did you visit?

It's very difficult to know what direction to steer you in with so little information. The better schools tend to be in the more populated areas (and there are more choices), (and there will be people who will come on here and say that all AZ schools are awful and you should move elsewhere) but even within those areas, there is some variety as far as lifestyle, proximity to other amenities, etc. What else is important to you?

You can't figure it out? I quoted them, but the post was deleted, seems obvious.

I guess it wouldn't make sense unless you saw the post before it was deleted.

I guess I should actually have referred to (used the quote button on) the Joyce DeWitt post, which I DID see and which your post was only quoting (or, I should have multiquoted). It would have made more sense for the mods to delete the whole exchange. Forget it, back to the OP's topic!

Lecia-- I'm not sure what you are looking for in terms of "buying land" -- whether you mean just a lot or acreage, and, again, what sort of area you want to be in. We can help you out better with a little more info.

I'd read thru the city by city thread at the top of the forum, that'll give you some ideas to start with.

so ol' joyce got caught, eh?

First off thank you for all you help!! No I have never been to AZ. We want to move where is hot all year round no tonado's to worry about and we have just heard that it's a great place to live. We live out in the country now in Ohio and love it, there are houses around us so no I don't want to be out in nowhere land. My husband would love it but I need people, I'm a people person. Our daughter is 6 so ya kids around for her would be great. We want to have some land we don't want to live were the houses are on top of eachother and so close together. My husband would need to get a job, well he will before we move but live somewhere he doesn't have to drive very far too. It's going to be a year or so before we move. I just wanted to get an idea on the best place to live. I'm sorry i didn't give to much detail in the beginning. Lecia
