Buckeye, Arizona?

Buckeye was nice when it was cotton fields, a cotton gin, and dairies. Now it's just another overdeveloped blob.
 
Hoping the best for you - going from Julian to Montana must have been tough - I'd imagine Buckeye would be less of a shell shock on day-to-day life.

We're on the west side closer to Avondale than Buckeye. There is everything you could need on this side of town so there wouldn't be much need to travel into Phoenix with any regularity.

Sure sometimes the traffic sucks but it's nowhere close to what you've experienced in CA.

The west side is almost an hour closer to the dunes, the Colorado River and commutes into SoCal.

I've been in Goodyear for 20 years and have seen the growth explode. I take the 303 to Surprise for work and the whole corridor is nonstop construction. If you have to go east into Phoenix the traffic will do you in. Even the evening traffic going west on the 10 has been brutal for a few years now. But it is what it is, Buckeye in general is still kind of a cowboy town, I don't care for it personally but I really couldn't tell you exactly why. Regardless of what anyone will tell you about the west side, there is no shortage of shopping. We do however find ourselves on the east side more often than we care for, usually when we go we have several stops planned, a few for me and a few for my wife, that makes it worthwhile. I go to tropical fish stores and she goes to fabric stores, neither of those on the west side for whatever the reason.

There is no ideal place to settle down anymore, pick what you like and make the most of it, the grass is always greener somewhere else. We have property in Wittmann, Az. and are trying to find a good contractor to build us a house there. It is far enough out of town and a little less crowded, but even then, there is a 4500 acre Burlington Northern railroad depot going in just across the 60 from where we would be. We're still going to build there, we're getting too old to keep searching for somewhere, here is as good as any for what we can afford.

Actually a bit of a letdown. Missoula winter is the mildest of all MT. BUT, a true winter is a bit of a drag.
Lots of reasons pushing us back south.

My mom lived out there for about 6 years. I think her street name was like 9 Mile or six mile star route. She lived next door to Andie McDowell the actor. She would send me a pictures of them having a tunnel/ditch from the house to the barn with so much effing snow. It can be a hard life out there, that's why she came back
