Good Suburb, Great place to raise a family 4.5 rating By ChrisA108 ( Jan 28, 2014) I first noticed this town when i went to the Bioshere 2 in oracle. I would totally move here. Yes it got a D for cost of living, but its worth it. Yes its a suburb of Tuscon, but it keeps the City crime and the rif raf out. To me its a very peaceful exclusive city. The only d ...Read More ownside is that if you like to cultivate your green thunb this is not the place. Nor is the southwest in general. If you are looking to raise a family and dont mind the heat (it gets VERY hot in the summer) move in, go ahead. :) Read Less
