Every city has crime everyday. Mesa is no different. We live less than a mile from the Apache Junction city limits just north of US60 and have a great view of the Superstitions and Four Peaks. There is very little crime in my neighborhood. The only times I was a victim was before I retired. Twice in six years here someone tossed an egg or shot a window in my patrol car with a BB gun. But that happened when we lived in Gilbert and also in Chandler.
Use the link provided by Capt. Bill for crime stats in specific areas. Mesa is no different than other major cities in the valley in that you can't generalize about crime. It's a huge city. There are some extremely safe areas and some that aren't. His daughter lives in a nice area, close to a large mall and restaurants as do we.
The weather on the other hand, you can generalize. If it's 95 degrees in Buckeye sixty miles away, it's going to be pretty close to 95 in Mesa also.
