I'd probably want to stay below a grand, all we need is a 2 bedroom house. Are scorpions really a big deal?

Hey man. If you got the funds and the time, come on out. I will house you and run you around town. Lots of areas to live. Lots of areas not to live.

And no on the scorpions. I've seen 1 in our 3 houses we've lived in. It was dead.

My 2br condo in Scottsdale is $1545/mo. It's pretty big and nice. But Scottsdale is over priced as shit and for no real reason really and I will be moving soon.

Wife and I rented a 3 bed 2.5 bath in gilbert for 1150. Never saw a scorpion in 2 years but we did spray.
Electric bills are murder with multilevel homes. 300 plus regularly in the hot months with gas drier and water heater . |

Plenty of Coyotes though, which is cool. Lot of Phoenix guys on here. Should get together for the Chiefs/Cards game this year. |

30 years has seen a lot of change --Phoenix metro is similar to LA. The concrete has made the highs higher and the lows higher. Key is your work prospects... and distance to/from workplace. Phoenix has new freeways always under construction... new buildings pop-up overnight. Real Estate market is cyclical and many zip codes are still a bit underwater. 1. Scottsdale 2. Tempe 3. Ahwatukee (Phoenix) 4. Chandler 5. Gilbert (strip mall...church...cookie cutter houses...repeat) Forget about Paradise Valley/North Scottsdale/Cave Creek |

Pretty simple. If your neighborhood used to be citrus you will have scorps. If it used to be cotton, your fine. Realtors should know which neighborhoods are which. Look for houses with a thin, white powdery film by entry ways. This is a great way to tell, as diatomaceous earth is one of the only effective scorpion killers. A

That's funny, I would reverse your list exactly. I suppose it's just a matter of taste. One man's trash is another man's treasure and all that. |

I lived in all those places except Gilbert and I had more scorpions in Tempe than I did anywhere else. Even when backed up to the south mountain preserve.

Ahwatukee was my favorite place to live. By far. I lived there, Gilbert, Chandler and now Scottsdale.
Not a fan of Tempe. Too young with ASU there. Mill Ave is fun though. |

My Brother lives in Scottsdale. I lived there (with Mom and Dad) in the early 60s when the old man was a Major at Luke AFB. At the time, we lived in GoodYear (long before it turned into a ****hole).
I would recommend Scottsdale or Tempe and perhaps Mesa. But that's about it. I'd stay away from Avondale, Goodyear or Glendale. One thing - You'd better plan for the heat. It's like an oven in the summer..... |
