The state of Arizona is a beautiful place in which to live. The Phoenix Valley, often referred to as the Vally of the Sun, provides 300+ days of sunshine, with high but dry heat in the summer, and mild temperatures the remainder of the year. In just a few hours you can travel from the Phoenix metropolitan area to snow ski in winter, water ski in summer, as well as enjoy unparalleled hiking year round.

The City of Tucson in southern Arizona offers a slightly slower pace of life in this traditional academic haven just a few hours from Mexico. The temperatures in Tucson at time rival Phoenix during the summer but it snows occasionally during the winter.
