Those are helpful, especially for Tucson. It seems like Phoenix isn't ready yet ... or I'm not for Phoenix. Parts of it seem intriguing. Maybe we'll have to explore the cities outside it. Geoffery,

Thanks for your thoughts on both Tucson and Phoenix. Those are helpful, especially for Tucson. It seems like Phoenix isn’t ready yet … or I’m not for Phoenix. Parts of it seem intriguing. Maybe we’ll have to explore the cities outside it.

We do have some sprawl but the downtown area has become more vibrant over the years. There are organized arts events in the downtown area throughout the year. A more difficult task is making social connections, it's perhaps the transient nature of the west, but that has been my biggest challenge. Phoenix has become so congested, traffic wise, Maricopa county is up to 3.8 million people. I would look into Taos, which is north of Santa Fe, I suspect however that employment might be a challenge.

I guess Scottsdale has become a city unto itself, and it's next to Phoenix. :) Thanks, Libby, We’ll check it out. I guess Scottsdale has become a city unto itself, and it’s next to Phoenix. :)

I have creative-type friends who moved there over a decade ago from the northeast and they absolutely adore it. Have you considered Scottsdale, AZ?
