Especially Goodyear or Glendale? If not, you may want to. Go to Monster.com or careerbuilder.com and just look at how many openings there are in Healthcare. Use 85338 as a starting zip code. You will be amazed. You can rent a very nice apt. or house for your budget and the overall cost of food, gas and home utilities are just fine. Plus there's a lot more to do here. Either way, if you like Lake Havasu then go for it.<br><b>References : </b><br>I live by Goodyear. Luba-

Either way, if you like Lake Havasu then go for it.

My girlfriend (35) just relocated here with her 3 kids. She has a 3 bedroom duplex in a nice area for $650 a month. You can find a lot of houses for the $650-$850 range. You can play in or on the water; you can play in the desert with ATVs. Working in the medical field should certainly be stable employment. Don't buy the idea that it is only a retirement town. I generally leave in the summer, but used to spend year-round here. 115 is NOT that bad...You get used to it by the 2nd year. Try not to arrive with a black car and a black interior! If you can't find things to do here, that would be your fault. Lots to do for EVERY age. Town is really kid friendly, altho folks your age coming to party here on the weekends (like there are no rules or laws here) do tend to write crap about LHC as they feel they are entitled to violate laws here. Those are the folks who write bad. I have lived here since 2002. Costs to BUY a house are incredibly low. What was $275k in 2006 is now $120k. Email me if you like. To add a little more: Parker is about 30 miles to the south, and Kingman is about 60 miles to the north. There really wouldn't be any attraction to those towns if you had a job in Havasu that lets you afford $800 a month rent. They are cheaper...but you'd lose it in time and gas. Flying, as you likely found out, is either to/from Phoenix or Las Vegas. About 150 mile trip. I prefer Vegas due to fares and ease of getting in and out of the airport. Phoenix traffic sux. Taxes in AZ are pretty low, too...both income and property taxes. Needles, CA (45 miles away) has no redeeming feature....dirty and expensive. Use 86403 as a zip code and you can see the grocery prices here. Milk varies thru the year and is high right now at $2.00 a gallon. Low last fall was $1.50-$1.67. Gas is currently $2.599...and you can get up to 15 cents off by buying from $30 to $90 worth of groceries.<br><b>References : </b><br> This is a wonderful place to live.
