We wanted to stay in AZ when I retired, so we moved to the reddest County in the state: Mohave. I moved from the Sonoran Desert to the Mojave Desert. It's a bit hotter here, but we're used to it. Having a Castle 900 ft above the Colorado Rivers makes for a fantastic view, especially sunsets.
This video is best from :30 to :50 seconds....

We lived in Chandler for a long time. I worked at Motorola/Freescale/NXP.
My father in law was an engineer at Motorola/Freescale for many years...still does a little spot work for them out of retirement. You wouldn't happen to know an Engineer named Randy Gray would you?
Also, nothing beats an Arizona desert sunrise/sunset...the colors in the sky are just unreal.
