Chandler (not downtown), or Gilbert are pretty good areas. All have very good schools and are very family friendly! Stay away from Phoenix (ghetto) and Tempe ( party area because of the college) if your looking for a place to raise kids.

We are also looking to move to Arizona and I have also been doing some research. I'd like to suggest that you check out Goodyear, Surprise and Litchfield Park - all north northwest of Phoenix. Good luck!

Good areas suggested. Work, unless your college educated medical or technology there is no, I repeat no work in Maricipa county.

One more area to add to the mix is the North Peoria, North Glendale area...the Northwest side of the city. Peoria, especially the north side of Peoria, has two new High Schools, new k-9 schools with full day kindergarten for now, great shopping, a wonderful brand new Library and neighborhood pool that is open. Our kids were small when we moved here. They received a great education and have all gone on to finish college. Welcome to our state

I recently moved to Queen Creek which is southeast of phoenix. I LOVE it here. Its close enough to the amenities, but also far enough to have that small town feel. The rent here is also less than some of the cities that are closer to downtown phoenix.

Comparative school information is published. An on line search should give you some good insights. Last time I looked, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley have the best schools in the State. Scottsdale is a large town - and not all schools are created equally within. I believe that Desert Mountain is the best high school for college bound students (high SAT scores and an IB program). It's zip code is 21659.
