Is north Phoenix more affluent than northern Scottsdale or cave creek?
I am new to the region and building up/saving for a house. I want to purchase one in the more affluent areas. I grew up in the hoods near gangs and break-ins in the northeast and aspire to get away from that type of noise and chaos as I start a family.
Which part of the metro has quieter neighborhoods and more involved parents and active/fit neighborhood residents based in your time living around the towns of these places?
I am using affluence as the barometer for this and understand that the northern part of the metro has more amenities and more expensive zip codes which is why I labeled the title as such.
My budget for a house is 800k-1.5M
Thank you in advance.
