In your opinion, what's the best area to live in Phoenix and why? I'm about to make the move but would rather hear from those who actually live there!

North Phoenix is nice, so is a lot of Peoria.

The funny thing about most of Maricopa county is there are pockets of nice areas surrounded by sketchy areas.

Folks are saying East Valley - that’s just as hit or miss as Phoenix. Chandler, Ahwatukee, and Gilbert are nice. Apache junctions and a lot of mesa is more miss than hit.

I like Arcadia but it’s a little cost-prohibitive to buy. Depends on your goals

Currently have a house in uptown which is also good but not ‘as’ good

I’m in Arcadia area and love it. Very nice and bike-able and great for family life. Also pretty centrally located.

I'm in Arcadia as well. Its really nice and like someone said above it is clean as well. I've always really loved it in this area.

I think they question should be what you are looking for. That’ll help people offer better perspective.

I'm moving soon, to Tempe or old town Scottsdale. Lmk if you're looking for a roommate in either of those areas

East Valley is ideal. Southern Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert. If you want more urban that is walkable, consider Old Town Scottsdale. If you don’t care and have a vehicle- the other areas. If you want to be in Phoenix consider northern Phoenix, Arcadia area, or Ahwatukee. West side consider Peoria.

Scottsdale or Arcadia

Second vote for Scottsdale. Its absolutely beautiful.

@all recs for a single guy moving to the area? Going to grad school in Tempe so considering there or old town Scottsdale. How is parking in old town (i.e. if I lived in Arcadia would I take short Ubers into town for dinner, drinks?)

Makes sense, thanks!

Fountain Hills is magnificent.

Way too far from the actual city, but gorgeous area

Lived in Peoria but I personally love living in Ahwatukee. It's a family-friendly neighborhood. It just has a lot to offer.

A partner keeps asking me specifically why a document is drafted a certain way or things like “did we really not include X?” I didn’t draft the document, a senior on the team did who is apparently fine with leaving me out to dry. What’s the best way to handle this? Is there a way to ask the senior to address the questions without sounding too passive aggressive? Or do I just let the partner know that I don’t have insight into why since I didn’t draft it?

Women of this bowl, how do you feel about solo traveling while with a partner?

I’m confused because it’s not about him, and i would never think this way if the roles are reversed. What are everyone else’ thoughts?
