I may have to go to a job interview in Sedona and/or Page, and maybe stay there.
Is any of you guys living nearby? How's the living condition there? Are those little town? How far is Poenix? Flagstaff?
Thank you for your input.

Phoenix is about 145 miles south of Flagstaff and Sedona is about 30 miles South of Flagstaff.
Page is near the north end of the sate about maybe 300 miles north of Phoenix.
Sedona is a nice place, but very small ( about 10,000 people) and very expensive I would imagine. It's in the high desert. Mostly a tourist/ retirement and resort type town
Flagstaff is small sized city ( 45-50,000 people), not much going on there and it's in snow country.
Page.... I don't know, never been there

I grew up in Phoenix, Sedona is Beautiful. But beware, it is dead in the middle of the New Age crystal healing metaphysics "Zone". Something in the area dosent like electronics there, phones and lightbulbs have problems. I don't know why but it been that way for as long as I can rember.

i've been through Page (RON) a buncha times. its on lake powell just across the border from UT...odd mix of serious mormonism & serious debauchery...anything goes..its not arizona as you think of it, though, as it is at a pretty good elevation ~4000' & quite cold @night & in winter. doubt you'd want to live there unless your really into boats, stargazing or are a prostitute, polygamist or maybe an ecoterrorist scheming against glenn canyon dam

Middle to Northern Arizona pretty high and cold in a lot of areas.
Heck, even Tucson has a ski resort.
Arizona pretty diverse..... I love it here :)

Frenchy,
I live in Northern Arizona. Moved here from Hawaii (job offer). And I have to say I love it. I live above the 5000' elevation though and had to get used to the very cold weather. Cold weather aside, that area is quite nice. My wife and I were just in Flagstaff last saturday to see the LoTR, TTT again, and do our bi-weekly shopping and it was warm enough that you could walk around in a short sleeve shirt, and there was still snow on the ground.
Page and Sedona are fairly expensive, cost of housing wise, almost as expensive as Hawaii. Flagstaff not too bad. But my views on the cost of living are somewhat skewed after living in Hawaii for the last 20 years, nothing compares to the cost of living of hawaii. So, I guess it all depends on where you are coming from.
Hope this helps, and feel free to ask more questions, I will try to get you an answer.
