Hello everyone who loves and hate Arizona, I am a single mother of 3 1 in college, 1 in high school and 2 going to kindergarten (in 3 years). I am looking to move to Arizona in 3 years because of my mothers health and my daughter will be going to college for nursing so I am looking for a good area that will accommodate the both of them. I pretty sure I can get employment either with Medco or Chase, so I am not worried in that respect, but I want to find a good area for my family and not too expensive as I am the only income. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me out in my search.

I think you should line up employment first, and then start look at neighborhoods within a reasonable commute. With young kids at home, you aren't going to want to waste a lot of time commuting in rush hour traffic.

Very good advice. Even the locals who have had jobs for years are out of work. Newcomers are not doing so well.

Not much point in looking for jobs yet, if you aren't moving for three years. But, getting a job before you get here will likely still be good advice three years from now. You aren't going to want a long commute, and there are going to be a lot of choices of good neighborhoods for you once you know where you are working.
