Hey everyone...

My family (wife, 2 boys 10,12) and I are looking at relocating to the Phoenix area. I will most likely be taking a job at Luke AFB, my mother and other family live in Scottsdale.

Our top considerations are school district, safety, family orientation...basically a place where my boys can get a good education (public or charter) with a good safe family environment. I am leaning towards a master planned community but not set on that.

I am coming from Ca, so I would be ok with a commute up to 45 minutes or so and will be renting at first (looking under $2,000). So far I have been looking at Paradise Valley, Peoria and Surprise. I would welcome any suggestions...thanks!

check out goodyear as well, the palm valley builds would be good for schools and commute

the arrowhead area would be nice if family is in N. Scottsdale as it would kind of put you with easy access to both that and Luke

I'd consider Arrowhead Ranch (Bell and the 101) or Desert Ridge (Tatum and the 101), which allow you to use the 101 Loop to shoot around west to LAFB and east to Scottsdale pretty easily. Both are really charming neighborhoods with good shopping nearby. I don't know the school system in Arrowhead, but the one in Desert Ridge is part of the Paradise Valley School District, one of the top rated school districts in Phoenix.

Thanks, I have been looking at the desert ridge area. Does anyone have an opinion on Dove Canyon and Peoria in general? Seems a reasonable commute to Luke.
