I lived in Chandler, Mesa and Glendale over my 33 years there. Worked as a Letter Carrier for 20 years of that. If you only want to go from a/c to a/c then there is no difference. But if you want be outside for any length of time I would vote for The Villages. Not FL because you deal with all the rest of the bugs. There is seldom any breeze in AZ versus almost always a breeze here. The pollution factor is very big in Phoenix, lots of pollution warnings. Tucson is not a problem as well as Flagstaff. I started to miss having some weather other than dust storms and the very infrequent rain shower. But I miss the sunsets and for the most part the cleanliness and newness of Phoenix. But you won't find anything that compares to The Villages in AZ. After spending 20 plus years in the heat I find it refreshing to have a milder heat with some humidity. I met a man once who told me not long after I moved there from CT. that there is only 2 seasons in Phoenix, heaven and hell.
