Gilbert, Arizona
Pros:
Often ranked a top places to live in the US.
Very safe for families.
Day trip access to Ocean/Snow/Lakes/Mountains.
Lots of good food to discover.
Relatively cheap CoL. No snow.
Cons:
A car is absolutely mandatory.
The purge June-Aug. Everyone is moving here. CoL is rising quickly. The sprawl can make hobby/tech meetups inconvenient to attend.
- xivzgrev 3y agoDay trip to ocean - where? Looks like San Diego is at least 6 hrs away. Definitely fair for a weekend trip
- vyrotek 3y agoDay-trip wasn't the right word. That said, RockyPoint Mexico is 3hrs~.
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoI lived in Phoenix for 20+ years, I think you're really underselling how hot it is from May thru October. Be prepared to spend 95% of your time inside air conditioning in that time period.
