Enjoy your new home, you will love the desert in the spring time. Actually, it is cooler out there, not as much pavement and cement as the big city :D The buildings seem to keep it much hotter. The evenings are much cooler in the desert. Casa Grande is a really nice area too. There is talk of putting the airport out that way between Phx and Tucson. You could have a great investment there. Enjoy the warmer....snowless winter. One thing about AZ, you can drive a couple of hours and ski, get cold, come home. Summers can be spent up north, especially if you have a motor home. Enjoy AZ :D
