Sun City. so you like hearses? Honestly, the place is clean, pretty in the sterile way that a new bandaid is wrinklefree. But the big event of the day is 1. mail and 2. when the buffet opens.
I'd recommend the above mentioned places and add Arcadia, a neighborhood on the east side of Phoenix.

Not that bad...LOL

Surprise and the Arrowhead area are near and both areas are offer many things to do.

Apartments can be had for less. My neighbors are all 50+. (I'm 30; I love the quiet neighborhood.) I'm a 10 minute drive from downtown Phoenix and 20 from downtown Scottsdale. I'm walking distance from a several cool restaurants and bars and, while there are shady patches here and there in the area (mostly due to meth heads), I - as a single female - feel perfectly safe walking alone.

Hope this helps!

If you don't mind me asking, what is the zipcode of that area? Is it 85007 or 85020? Just wondering!
Thanks!
