My family and I just bought a new house in Laredo ranch in Queen Creek. We love it there and excited about the new commercial projects going on in the area. I recently found out there will be a Banner Hospital 3 miles from us. I'm from NY and some hospital I knew had bad neighborhoods surrounding it.I hear Banner Hospitals are very good. I'm just afraid I might be in an "iffy" area in the future because of the hospital location.

????? I've never heard of an area being bad because it's near a hospital! But then again, I'm not from NY. I think having a hopsital that close to you is a good thing. Plus, you live in a master planned community. I doubt you'll have anything to worry about. Besides, you can't compare NY with AZ. And just in case anyone reads this and interprets it as me slamming NY, I'm not - I love NY . . . especially NYC. It's just nothing like AZ!

You are in serious trouble and should sell and move immediately. No time to waste as the gangs are around the corner and they are shacking up in all of the vacant unsold homes. I wish you the best of luck selling. Hopefully you can get rid of it before the word gets out. Queen Creek is the worst place to raise a family.

Wow, nice nice baby. Scary!
How close do you live to the hospital? It will eventually be a "not so good" location. But will take awhile. Sheena is right in that we are not so quick to go bad but neighborhoods around hospitals do decline more. It's equivalent of moving next door to any large commercial complex. Traffic, helicopters, ambulances, nursing homes, special care facilities, will all pop up around it and make traffic and noise a "not so great" location for a neighborhood. With the sprawl here it will be easy for someone to jump a few neighborhoods over instead. And in Queen Creek, with all the development out there, that will be a bummer for you in the long run. You would have to live right next to it though. If you can see it from your house, your too close. If not, I think your ok. Hope this helps.

Don't sweat it. 3 miles is far enough away.

Banner hospitals are great, in my opinion. You're fortunate to have one nearby in the event you need emergency care.

HUH? I never heard of living near a hospital being a bad thing. I always thought it brought the property value up. I don't think Queen Creek will be a dangerous area anytime soon. Good luck with that commute though. I hope you work in Chandler.

I wouldn't worry about it. Those bad neighborhoods in NY were probably there before they built the hospitals.

Banner is not so great when you are sitting in their emergency room for 12 hours and leave sicker then when you came in. They do bring your family members a sandwich while you are waiting though.

My wife waited in the emergency room for 8 hours on a guerny. Fortunately we had called 911 and she was taken by ambulance because the medics have to stay at the guerney with the patient until the hospital takes over.

They never gave me a sandwich, and I had to stay in the waiting room until she got a room. Maybe I should complain about not getting a sandwich.

There are two new hospitals in Gilbert, one on Val Vista Drive and the other that just opened near Higley at Hwy 60, and those are great.
