Apologize if I hijacked the thread, but it is great to hear what people have to say about the city...good and bad.

Depending on your budget and your expected income, in or around the Arcadia area in Phoenix (in addition the previously mentioned Central Phoenix area) would fit your description. I live outside that area because I can't afford it but I'm not far away and it puts you close-ish to downtown, uptown, Scottsdale and Tempe while also having it's own collection of shopping and restaurants that people from surrounding areas come to. (Not to be to specific but I live near 36th St and Thomas, so, not arcadia, but get some spill over).
