Update!

Hubby got offered both jobs in Phoenix and tucson. We ended up going to Tucson. Schooling for our kids and house rentals just lined up perfectly. Now I need to make friends while hubby is at work during the day. lol..

I have no grass in my backyard!! ? O'well my boys love it! That's all that matters.

Habalinas are here in Fort Huachuca.

They are large wild pigs /rodents

Not snakes but a bat ! It was daytime and it was in our porch . it was a baby so mabye it got lost. It was outside so we were more amazed than freaked out . we just called a number i dont remember but they rescued the little thing.

@elisa and @kmd Did you ever find any snakes or crazy things in your home?

Hubby has a few interviews this week for both phoenix and Tucson. I guess where ever he gets hired we will live. lol.. Just have to find some rentals out there in a good neighborhood.

I lived in Tucson Arizona for 28 years. I just moved to New York in May of last year. Anyways Tucson there is not a lot to do. You can hike and see museums and wildlife but compared to where I live now I miss the closeness of everything. The nightlife is great but the crime can be pretty bad depending where you live. If you love there I suggest east side, some of Mariana, Rita ranch, or red rock. If you want to message me questions feel free.

Where i lived there was just signs of snakes because it's mostly like a dessert type of place in Phoenix. When we would go out we would just watch out but the sign wasnt for poisonous snakes if thats better lol

Thanks for your feedback ladies! I live in Modesto California, so I think I would be able to handle the hot weather out there.

I'm aware of the wild life. just not ready for the snakes and tarantulas okay n the scorpions. Are they in every city in Arizona?

I definitely am not trying to wake up to a coiled snake in my bed. lol..

What did you guys do?

I love ari

Pros : scenery , less crowds , cheap

Cons: major crime ,must have a car, heat in summer

I forgot to add is wild life is real

Lol

So that is another Con.

I used to live in Phoenix and the weather is horrible. If you can't handle strong strong heat i seriously dont recommend it. I moved back to la. Beautiful place though but never again

I don’t live in AZ but just visited a few wks ago. We went to Prescott (press-curt pronounces we were told?) anyways it was so nice and clean every thing looked brand new. The weather is more mild than other parts of AZ as it’s up in the mountains so instead of blazing hot (it’s does get hot in the summer tho) it cools off quite a bit in the winter.

Phoenix is where I live. It's more of a city and it's cheap.

Arizona is really nice. But every part has it's good and bad just like anywhere you go
