i'm not sure what your idea of affordable is...but i'll give you which areas are cheaper than other areas...if you want something close to PV...then north phoenix off the 51. south scottsdale but it'll be farther to drive. anything near the west would be a difficult drive since theres no freeway going east. south phoenix is ok if you dont mind the crime rate higher than north phx...but north phx is my recommendation as its close to pv and you got the freeway

It's a big city. We have some crime, overall most areas are safe. Now affordable, that's another story.

Think about it, if it's affordable (meaning cheap), then it becomes the ghetto. No such thing as safe AND affordable. You gotta pay for what you get.

Compare Phoenix prices with California prices and then the most expensive house in Az would seem affordsble. Anyway, I own property in Mesa and there are great areas right next to bad areas. you actuallt have to go to each neighborhood and see what it's like.

Most all of the metro Phoenix area is safe, except for vehicle theft anyway.. . The southeast part is "cooler" than the west side. Cities like Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, and Scottsdale.
