Phoenix quality of life — am I missing something?

I'm originally from Cleveland and You can expect to pay around $1,458 for rent here. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Has anyone dealt with this? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a social worker who relocated here from Boston about 2 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and my partner's job.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Lots of new development happening
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are developing, gas is decent.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Happy to answer more specific questions..
