Actually, AZ economy is not going to be hurt like you say. It will drop a bit but will immediately picked up when the employers actually hire American citizens. If they cna't hire citizens or have other excuses of why they can't run a successful business then they deserve to lose their butts.

My preference would be Arkansas. AZ has it's great places and all, but to live in the locations where I would want to live, such as Flagstaff it would probably be too costly. Arkansas is pretty and homes are probably cheaper there.

I'm not familiar with the AZ market. However , I do know the NWA market.You still can buy alot in NWA for $160,000 depending on the area and the size of the property...new construction prices are starting to fall with many builders trying not to pay excessive interest rates on their investments.
After 32 years of teaching, my wife and I relocated to Bella Vista about three years ago from Wisconsin and have fallen in love with the area. Bella Vista offers you beautiful vistas, a variety of properties from secluded wooded homes to gracious lakeside living to close-knit neighborhoods. We enjoy the close proximity to Bentonville, Rogers and Razorback athletic events. Being from Wisconsin, we still enjoy four seasons but no longer relish the extended winters Wisconsin has to offer. Truthfully, the so called humid summers have not bothered us at all. art Quote:

I have never lived in Bella Vista but I have lived in Phoenix for several
years. However I did grow up near Bella Vista and I always thought it was a great place and last year I had to take a trip to Bentonville and I couldn't believe how the area had grown and prospered. I'm sure most of it was due to Walmart's headquarters but I thought it was a very pretty place. When I lived in Phoenix I was still working in a professional office on Camelback and because I had a good job I had mostly positive thoughts about Phoenix but I pretty much lived at my office which had great air conditioning. I can tell you that the hot/dry weather was pretty much more than I could take and if I had not almost lived at my office I would have died with the monster electric bill. I have been in Florence several times but it didn't do much for me and I could say ditto for Maricopa as well. The winters are great but the summers just flat suck. You might however check out Prescott. I lived there for two years before moving to Phoenix and I loved it but it is much more expensive than the two towns you mentioned. By the way Florence is just as hot as Phoenix I would guess. I now live in southern New Mexico which is similar to AZ but the employment situation is not as good as in arizona. Also there is a lot of poverty here in New Mexico and I find it somewhat depressing. Arkansas will be humid and you won't have the great vistas that the west offers but I am in the process of checking out Bella Vista myself. Good Luck |

Thanks for the information. I had NOT realized California has ticks! Those are some high-dollar ticks allright!
Good luck and I hope you don't see many snakes. Maybe they are eating up mice and lessening the tick population. Hope none of the Arkansas forum members are having homes or selves hurt by this latest rash of bad weather over there. |
