What's it really like living in Safford?
First post here. Median household income is $65,727, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $191,600 on average. Poverty rate is 10.6%, which is around average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
Pros:
- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- Boring for young people
- Homelessness issues downtown
- Not enough green space

Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
