Looking for Class A-B neighborhood around Phoenix

[Alexander Krasuski]

Hello All,

Thank you in advance for the help!

My mom is considering moving to Arizona where it is warmer than up here in Michigan, (in Metro Detroit Josh Dorkin).

She's looking for a middle class neighborhood. Can any Arizonans identify some cities around Phoenix that she could start her search?

Something like the Edgewater of Chicago or the Oakland County of Detroit, or the...I don't know many other comparisons. But a place that is easily safe, newer neighborhood, 2000 square foot house, up to 40 minutes from Phoenix is fine.

Thank you Bigger Pockets community!
