If money is no object, the best place to live in Arizona is Sedona. That isn't my opinion (although I agree). It is USA Today's opinion. They highlighted Sedona as the most beautiful place to live in our entire country.
I think if you are looking for a great place to live -- there are several factors that come into play -- and they are all unique to you.
You may place a higher value on education than me who has my kids grown and gone. You might like warmer or cooler weather.
My opinion is Sedona. There are areas that are reputed to be strong vortexes -- for feelings of well-being.
I've been to Sedona six times now and each time I have explored areas known to be strong vortexes. I am particularly fond of Boynton Canyon near the Enchantment Resort.
What I would do (if I were you) is to really read up on an area and try to learn all you can about it. Use the Internet -- it is a great source of good information.
But pick an area and go hike that area. Meditate and pray and do whatever you are led to do. Free your mind; relax; refresh; rejuvanate.
Boynton Canyon is a great place to begin this type of journey. It is beautiful and you are allowed to hike it although it runs through the Enchantment property.
The reason I would do this is because I believe the answer to your question will come to you in great clarity as you do this exercise. It should be totally free from any direction other than this of your soul, spirit and no other person can compare with your heart in an experience like this.
It may hit you -- it may not. But you are at the very least in for some of the most breath-taking scenary you have ever seen in your life. At most you will experience a true life-changing event -- of some sort....and you'll know when it feels like it should be home.
Be open.
Great question.
Hope this helps.

i lived in a small town casa grande for 8 yrs. and it WAS a good town. but i think tempe is nice. snottsdale is nice but you gotta have some money for some places. glendale and gilbrt are nice too. alotta car thefts in mesa. sedona is a very beautiful city though so, theres quite a bit of choices.

Sedona is gorgeous but to be practica,l visit there and live in Phoenix. Lots to do and much cheaper to live. Only and couple of hours away from Sedona.

My sister and her family live near Tempe and love it. She also lived in Scottsdale for awhile and enjoyed that too.
Are you more of a big city person or small town gal?
