I lived in Casa Grande, AZ for 5 years. Housing is inexpensive. Lots of jobs in the Phoenix area. Schools suck, however (I was a high school Science teacher). There is lots of places to hike and off-road. Mountains surround the low desert. I loved the night sky. The low desert of Arizona is actually pretty diverse - lots of plant and animal life, unlike many other places in the southwest where there is only tumble weed and manure piles.
