My sweetie and I have decided to move to Glendale, AZ. Rent is pretty cheap, as are the bills which is what attracted us to the area. We found a gorgeous townhouse that is perfect for both of us since we don't have any children. It is not too big but not too small either, just the right amount of space. The place includes a gym, concierge service and DVD rentals, and it's a walking distance from Westgate. We can save a lot of money on gas since the entertainment district is only a parking lot away. There is plenty of dining options and the football stadium is right there. Which is a major plus since I am a huge Cardinals fan. We found the rent to be quite reasonable considering that it is in Westgate area. It is about $770 a month. We researched other areas such as Avondale and Downtown Phoenix, but the rent in Downtown is about the same price, if not a little more expensive for a small studio, and the area in Westgate is a little nicer than Avondale.
Commute was another major factor in our decision. The 101 is an easy access and it connects to the I10, and it is only a 15 minute drive from Downtown Phoenix where I work for a law firm. It's great working there since the downtown area has made a lot of progress in the last few years. Nothing compared to what it was. There are some pretty nice places to live there but I think it's a better value to live outside of the city. It feels a little less congested and seems like a safer area to live in. The Westgate area of Glendale is new and is thriving. Many events are held at The University of Phoenix stadium such as the Fiesta Bowl that it brings in a lot of revenue to the city.
