People need to consider deeded RV lots. You don't want to put your mobile home in a park where you pay rent, only to see the park bought out by a corporation that jacks up the rent. And a mobile home isn't really mobile without incurring a lot of expense.

I heard there was a problem with water. Is that true?

Arizona is an excellent place to be from.

Yuma, Bullhead city, anywhere in that low elevation western part of the state is crazy hot in the summer. Anywhere above 4000 feet is relatively comfortable, and that would be most of the state. I love Arizona, retired here near Portal in the SE corner at about 4,500 feet. It's nice. Don't even consider retiring here until you look at the elevation and summer temps.

Kingman- A mobile home in a RV park and temperatures at 100 or above for many months of the year. All for $200,000. It is difficult to imagine a more awful place to live.

Kingman, AZ population is close to 35,000 but the city limits don't include a lot of the city. as it extends north so it's more than 35K. I don't suggest anyone move there as the city has a lot of poverty and an overwhelming sense of depression encompasses the people there. The city is losing retailers and the growth is mostly in track homes that appease Californian investors.
