My family and I are moving down to AZ with our kids and dogs. We were looking into Surprise area and are wanting to get an insight on which areas to look into. Our kiddos will be in 9,14 and 15 so schools around the area would be great but wouldn’t mind a drive. Lower crime area would be greatly appreciated since my husband is a sloper and I’ll be home half the time with my kiddos. Any input is welcome 😌

Yes, Surprise is low crime. What's a "sloper"?

I'm really concerned about this sloper thing???? Do I want to live in a "sloper" hood?

ma'am, we don't take kindly to "sloper's" round hear.

Just kidding, you might also want to look at Gilbert and Chandler as options.

Sloper = resident of Sunnyslope

...but that doesn't make sense if the family is moving here from Alaska.

I’m guessing she means the North Slope, as in her spouse works (or worked) in the petroleum industry. Could be Prudhoe Bay.

This. They often work a fly in fly out schedule. Flown up to the north slope to work 10-12 hr days for 2-4 weeks, then flown down and off for 2 weeks, or something resembling that. Some companies only agree to fly you in/out of ANC, others will get you to SEA or the lower 48 if you live there. Probably varies a good bit on your work position/skills.

I looked up the term "Sloper", it is related to tailoring/sewing.

About the move, I hope you're aware of the completely different climate of central Arizona, particularly in the summer months, when day time high temperatures are above 100 degrees, usually from late May and sometimes until early October, but for the most part there's very low humidity, whatever humidity we get is usually in the monsoon season (late July through August). But, anywhere you live and go, air-conditioning makes things comfortable.
