We never lived in Arizona but have a first cousin who does. In addition, looked at various retirement communities----Saddlebrooke (Robonson community) just 20 miles north of Tuscon interested us the most----a beautiful place with the mountains in the background. But it was no TV!! The winter mornings are cooler there, most everything is "brown tone", it's hotter than "hell" for several months and anybody that can----leaves in the summer----we had lots of people tell us that and they were not joking. It was 113 degrees on June 1, when we were there. However, "different strokes for different folks". It didn't take us long to make up our minds but if I had a health problem that I believed might be helped with the hot/dry climate I would rent me a place for a year and give it a try. Good luck.
