Here is a sampling of what you will find in the extensive article on why Arizona might be the perfect place for your next stop:
A Special Quality of Life
From the climate, variety of activities, healthcare, tax system and quality communities, Arizona offers one of the best places to relocate for quality of life. Here’s why …
The Diverse Climate
Arizona has a reputation of having a dry and hot climate, but those who live in the Grand Canyon State will tell you that the climate is actually quite varied.
Central Arizona will offer you mild weather even in January while northern Arizona will offer you perfect weather for swooshing down the ski slopes. But if the hot climate is for you, southern Arizona is calling your name, because sunbathing and swimming is all you’ll be doing under the Tucson sun.
Arizona offers the perfect weather for every individual’s personal preference. Maybe that’s why more than 45,000 people moved away from the bitter cold last year and to the perfect climate.
Rock Climbing Boulders Resort and Spa
Abundance of Activities
Arizona’s diverse climate makes it the ideal place for outdoor recreational activities, ranging from golf to their dozens of national parks.
Golf enthusiasts will never run out of premiere courses to choose from thanks to Arizona’s 300 course options. Whether you’re someone who golfs for fun, or if you’re on your way to being the next Tiger Woods, there’s a golf course in Arizona for you.

Where You Should Stay While Visiting
