Phoenix Neighborhoods Questions

[Alexander C.]

Hey all,

I'm a software engineer from California and recently moved to Phoenix to begin looking for places to invest. We're looking for steady income streams and low maintenance. What are some of the common generalizations of the following areas? I've gathered some of the information below. 

Chandler - next to Intel, lots of working professionals

Gilbert - more affordable

Glendale 

Mesa

Peoria

Scottsdale - upper end part of Phoenix

Surprise - 

Tempe - next to ASU

Tucson - next to University of Arizona

What other areas do you suggest?

Thanks in advance
