Transportation |
| Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is one of the country's top airports. The city is one of the few in the U.S. without an AMTRAK station. The first phase of METRO Light Rail was completed in late 2008. This mass transit system runs from north central Phoenix through the downtown and east through Mesa and Tempe. |

What people are saying about Phoenix | |
| Phoenix | |
| We moved here over one year ago to Scottsdale. I cannot wait to move. There is NO PLACE you can go without a car unless you live in the Biltmore area or Kierland. The summers are more than brutal. Most days range over 115 & keeps getting worst. I find the people are uneducated & much corruptness here. My husband is a physician who works full time. He feels the standard of healthcare is below par for such a huge city. If you like HEAT & driving everywhere than this is the place for you. Also brown. Everything is brown. We are moving back to FL. Can’t wait. I loathe it here. | |

| [quote:4c37ca8ba7="sid"]Back in the day Phoenix was a definable geographic entity. Now it's kind of a blob. I would be curious if anyone knows some interesting neighborhoods to live in where you don't feel captive to your car. Maybe downtown? I went to Thunderbird in Glendale (in the last ice age) and wonder what that's like now - it was a cross between a farm town and a subdivision then. Any info would be helpful, thanks[/quote:4c37ca8ba7] Phoenix has really grown. I would say West Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe areas are a good area. I would check them out, Thunderbird and Glendale is still a "stay in your car" area. I hope this helps you out, and you come back! Weather has been fantastic lately! | |
