So... might be moving to Az to work at Luke. Been to the area and was going to settle on buckeye before, but the commute seems to be a bit of a drive.. Any ideas for family with 2 boys 8 & 3. Wife works on medical as a records coder and would need to be near some of the local hospitals. Glendale..?

Scott, here is a link to take you to a list of hospitals in the Phoenix area.

You have Peoria, Glendale, etc that may be central for you and your wife.

You can take the google map and check the distances of each of the hospitals from a couple of the cities for a start.

You can always look into the Surprise area. Safest city in Arizona, very family oriented, not a bad commute to the Luke AFB

As ibarrio states, Surprise is nice close to Luke. Also Arrowhead Hospital is about 16 miles from my home anyway. There are other homes that are closer. Also other hospitals that are very nice in the area. CHCW will be building a new hospital in the area starting in 2009 I think.

Litchfield Park. It's the best.
Good schools, small town feeling. Very close to Luke but with no flyover from the jets since tons of retired USAF officers live there.

There are two hospitals in the Surprise area. If you live around Litchfield or Bullard in Surprise, it will take fifteen minutes to get to Luke.

If you lived in Litchfield Park, you would be very close. There is also a Banner hospital near the 101 in that same area.

I'd say these two are your best options if you have kids. Your other options right near there are Avondale, Buckeye, and Youngtown, but I'd prefer Litchfield Park and Surprise over them.
