Thread: Areas to live in Phoenix

right now we're looking for housing in the northern Glendale and northern Peoria areas, especially since both me and the wife work in this area. I really like northern Peoria since lots are spaced out more and you get more land, though housing prices is a bit out of our reach at this time.

MY g.f. and I are eventually looking out there eventually. She has a long time g.f. who has livde in the Glendale area for 25 plus yrs. We go to Scottsdale in Jan for Barrett, so I use my town house while we are out there.Its nice but we want to be a little north .

If you are trying to stay away from the college atmosphere I would say Gilbert Chandler area I have a friend who just bought a house in Chandler and loves it a lot of very new areas and if you still get the urge to rage its a quick trip up the 101 north to hit Tempe Mill Ave or Old Town Scottsdale clubs

This. The Chandler/Gilbert area is great because of how close it is to the 101. I live in Chandler Right by the 101 and I can get up to the part of Mill ave with all the bars in about 15 mins. Plus there are a lot of nice, new houses in chandler and because of the current economy they can be picked up pretty cheap if you are looking to buy.

I couldn't do tempe after going to ASU, too many annoying college kids. Up here past Happy Valley is pretty quiet

I'm in southern Tempe near the Chandler border so I don't get the riff-raff thats near the university.

Pretty much what everyone else said. Gilbert is a great area and where I currently live, only about a 15 minute drive to mill ave(Tempe).

If you need help looking for homes in the Scottsdale area, PM me I know a good realtor. I'm looking to move Into Scottsdale within the next 1-3 years simply because I work up that way 6-7 days a week and spend most of my time now in scottsdale
