I was looking at apartments in Buckeye and wondering why they are so cheap. Is this a dangerous area?

No, not dangerous at all. Just a long ways out of downtown and other areas for employment and entertainment. I like the feel of Buckeye but it's just too far for me.

Buckeye used to be kind of out in the middle of nowhere, it had kind of an old Phoenix, old west vibe to it and then they put a bunch of subdivisions out there. But it's a hella long drive, traffic is miserable and if you want to do anything you have to drive, drive, drive.

Parts are good, parts are bad. It's not all the same. If you are getting very low prices, it is very likely a bad part although Buckeye is not a hot bed of crime by any means. Even in Buckeye, you get what you pay for. There are a boatload of foreclosures in Buckeye, too. You might be able to rent a house cheaply as well, if that is something you would like.

Buckeye used to be a farming community and then during the housing boom developers bought up a bunch of land out there and put up a ton of housing subdivisions. When the collapse began, the outerlying areas were first to go, like Buckeye, mostly because the drive to get to Phoenix is outrageously far.

What you have there is miles and miles of abandoned homes and sellers desperate to offer cheap rent. The people who either live there do so because its extremely cheap or they are stuck. Mostly its a ghost town. There is a very small Buckeye city proper, but its really not associated with the developments in 'Buckeye'. Old Buckeye is very reminicent of an Old Arizona ranching/farming hub.

I don't think there are any "bad" parts of Buckeye, per se, but there are certainly "lesser" neighborhoods. Verrado is very nice and one of the better neighborhoods in all of Phoenix metro. Sundance and the neighborhoods near there are "average". Tartesso and Sun City Festival are just really "out there". The neighborhoods near "old town" are mostly "average" or "below average". But I would not call any of them "bad".

It's a great place to smell horsecrap and stare at farm fields for hours, really I can't think of anything bad to say about the place.
