Tucson

Southern Arizona is a great place to be if you are tired of the long, cold winters up North. Tucson is located in the heart of Southern Arizona, about 100 miles south of the state capital, Phoenix, and 60 miles north of the Mexican border. The Tucson area boasts more then 350 days of sunshine each year, and claims to be the sunniest city in the country. Thousands of snowbirds (people who come here to escape the winter in their home towns) flock to Tucson and its surroundings each winter. After enjoying a couple of pleasant winters here, many snowbirds eventually decide to relocate to sunny Tucson. Tucson sits at 2389 feet above sea level, and usually has milder summers and is less congested than Phoenix. About one million people live in the Greater Tucson Area.

I moved to Tucson with my family about 10 years ago. We are always commenting how lucky we are that we can be outdoors most of the year. We are very happy to have left the pollen filled air of the East Coast each spring, and their hot and humid summers, and their dreary winter. Of course we missed the crisp air and the beautiful colors of autumn. But that feeling really only lasts a few weeks. We are also glad that we do not have to fight the ever growing beltway traffic near Washington, DC.

Housing costs in Arizona are relatively lower than most states, especially in this current market. If you want to be a snowbird for awhile, and want to know what area or town to stay in, by all means email me. I will be glad to point you to your right area, based on your expressed needs, interests and preferred activities.
