I lived in Phoenix
I lived in Phoenix for about 6 years many years ago. There will be a month or two where it's very hot but the rest of the year is lovely for the most part. It's like living in the north and enduring time in the winter where it's that unbearable below zero weather. You stay inside. I guess it depends on your tolerance for the heat and how much you would love the rest of the year.
I live in Arkansas now. We get hot but it's very humid when it's very hot. We just stay in the A/C when it's like that. The rest of the year is pretty nice. I haven't shoveled snow in years for whatever that's worth. :) | ||

My hubby travelled to Little Rock every week for two years for work. One week they got two inches of snow, and everything closed up and shut down. They can't drive in it, nor have equipment to plow it. In summer it is awful humid. | ||

Snow in Little Rock
Well you're right, they don't do anything with the roads when we do get some snow. The city does shut down but it's very seldom that happens. For example it hasn't happened here in the past two years at least that I can remember. We have only had one or two days this year where we got flurries but it was so warm it melted. They get a little more in Northern Arkansas but here in Central we don't get it much.
There will always be a few weeks in the summer where it really hot but again I don't think we hit 100 in the two years either. I'll still take this over the winters I left behind in upstate New York. | ||

First off, congratulations on selling your house and downsizing! I did the same thing 2.5 years ago in anticipation of retirement and haven’t regretted it for a moment. I decided to rent rather than buy—tired of dealing with house/yard upkeep. Unfortunately, I’m too stubborn or stupid to leave Minnesota, even for the winter. My parents were snowbirds and loved wintering in the Tucson area. Hope you find a great place and don’t forget to send photos of your Mexican-themed kitchen & laundry!

southern Ok? Is it still in tornada(o) alley? Karen Silkwood lived in that area, where the Kerr McGee uranium processing plant is or was. | ||

Opps, correction, sorry, should have looked up Crescent Ok. first. It is not in southern Ok. | ||

I lived there in the early 90’s for a few years. Tucson lacks freeways other than the one that connects it to Phoenix. The upshot is certain avenues become extremely crowed during certain hours. My advice, don’t live too close to those avenues. It is over 100 for 100 days every summer yes, BUT there are the summer monsoon rains. This is a short but extremely welcome downpour which augments the heat. Swamp coolers are a fantastic form of air conditioning which use evaporating water...much preferred feeling imo than AC. You naturally limit daytime activities and use the nights in the summer to escape the sun. Also consider other towns like Prescott if you think Tucson would be too warm. Prescott is at a higher elevation than Tucson. Tucson also varies greatly depending on the part of town you are in. I worked with a Minnesota transplant who no doubt is still there. He would spend summers working on his brother’s farm in Minnesota then come back to Tucson. I probably could even find a phone number. He would be a great guide having lived there for decades. | ||
