The new Adventure

OK so I guess it is time to post again. We have been so very busy. Selling our house and moving was quite time consuming, then that dumped us right into Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Each time we are up in the Phoenix area we look for houses. We went with our realtor early December, then the next day just wandered around neighborhoods trying to get a feel for what was out there. Then copy down a few addreses of neighborhoods we like, for sale or not we look them up on Zillow for approx. price range and year built.
We started looking for homes for sale that were built in 2000 or newer, 2100 sq ft to about 2700 sq ft. We found that kept taking us far south. Then we saw a home we liked from the outside and it was a 1991 built, but had very large bedrooms and family room. It had a new A/C, and other new features (which is why we had dredded the older home, we didnt want to walk into all sorts of repair needs,)So this Saturday we will look at those.

Our search has been around the Gilbert/Chandler area. Once, a year ago or so, we drove up Gilbert Rd near the 202 and I really liked the newness of the shopping and general area. When we 1st moved to Tucson, many parts of the town were very old and dated. I think Im ready for something new and refreshing looking. Actually the part of Oro Valley we live in is like that too, I guess that is why we like it here now.

We are keeping an eye for homes in other areas, but with Mimi just moving to town I'm sure we will be getting together with Stella/Don and Mimi/Ralph alot for doings and happy hour. So near there makes sense.
Scottsdale isnt anywhere near my price range....Don't want to live anywhere near Central Phoenix. North 101 loop has nice homes and close to our sweet Alana, but far from everyone else. It has not been an easy choice.
