4. if you can afford the foothills in the Santa Catalina's

in Tucson... that is not as bad Maricopa county or even the valley floor in Tucson.

Near the VA... and it is one of the better VA hospitals... I used to take my nephew there every few months.

Even in the foothills it gets ungodly hot... and water is always an issue, try to stay away from dense city housing with all of the things that make it even hotter. Desert plants and shade are your friends.

The higher in elevation, the cooler the temps. Where I lived in Sabino canyon it was generally 10F cooler than the valley floor... we even had snow that sort of stuck in the foothills just above us.
