Surprise vs Peoria vs Glendale, which should I pick?
Those three cities are outside the north valley area Jon serves, but the decision between them comes down to your priorities around commute, budget, amenities, and home features rather than any rating or characterization. For schools, visit the district websites and the Arizona Department of Education. For safety and neighborhood feel, check the police department crime maps for each city and visit the areas yourself at different times of day. Jon is happy to share home and property details and help you understand the north valley markets he specializes in, including Cave Creek, Carefree, Anthem, Desert Hills, north Scottsdale, and Tatum Ranch.
