Phoenix Home Shopping Help

[LifeIsGood]

My wife and I are currently home shopping in the Phoenix area. We really like a community NW of Phoenix called Blackstone (part of Vistancia...in Peoria). One of the real estate agents associated with the community tells us there's a couple of viper owners in Blackstone. I was hoping to ask them some questions about how the liked living there. Anybody know them?

[Vombomb]

Pfft the Tucson viper guys are way cooler than those Phoenix viper guys... Go on facebook and ask on their page: Arizona Viper Club

[AZSN8K]

Your real estate agent was correct - there are 2 of us (that I know of) that reside in the Blackstone Country Club - we're both at the 'Links at Blackstone.' There are still lots available here (at the 'Links,' they are 1/2 acre lots, the builder is TW Lewis). But there are more builders in here, and custom lots available. Give me a call - Rich @ 602-432-5252.

We are way cooler in a Tucson. A few of the Phoenix guys have applied for a change to move here to Tucson and I am still reviewing their applications and checking their references to see if thay are cool enough to be here full time.

AZSN8K was actually our president for a while, LIG. He can definitely help you get a feel for the area. And Rich, didn't that couple from Oregon who has a place by you buy a Viper to keep down here for when they were visiting from Oregon? I met them at the Christmas party but I can't remember their names. That would be fun to have 3 of you all in the same neighborhood with Vipers.

LIG, I bet you will be pretty happy in AZ but as far as Phoenix goes, you just need to decide which area is most your style. Lots of nice areas, you just need to decide if you want night life, quiet, downtown, whatever fits you best. If you are into golf, no need to worry about that as anywhere you are will have easy access to more golf than you could ever play in a year.

Good luck with the house shopping. Looking forward to welcoming you out here.

[LifeIsGood]

Thanks guys. Rich, I'll be contacting you.

Nobody likes Tuscon, that's why most of us live in Phoenix metro area. When we go to southern AZ, we make sure we're doing triple digits when we approach Tuscon to get through that cesspool of filth and villiany as quickly as possible....

[LifeIsGood]

Damn...didn't know I was moving into Hatfield and McCoy territory. "Can't we all just get along."

Don't listen to Leadfoot. Aside from his daily driver being a ford probe, I think his hair gel has seeped into his brain, thereby affecting his thoughts.

(Don't worry L.I.G., we like to have fun around here. it's all good hearted, if a little bit over-gelled)

Was that a Star Wars reference? I feel like I should be hearing the Mos Eisley Cantina band right now...

My wife's aunt/uncle live in Stetson Hills during the Colorado winters.

[GABOON]

l.o.l; you will discover that all az club members are choice quality people. Leadfoot is ok too! as far as who is cooler its got to be those who live up north in high country... check thermometer!

[Vprbite]

Those in the high country can't handle the heat.

But otherwise yes, we are all pretty good here in Arizona because we couldn't bust chops if we weren't friends. It really is all in good fun around here. I bet you figured that out, L.I.G. But in case you thought maybe we were really taking shots at each other here, no we aren't.

Yes, Jim & Becky bought a 2014 TA for here - they live at the end of my street. They are associate members here, live in Oregon part of the year.

Yeah how cool. It was nice to meet them. If L.I.G. moves into your neighborhood that must be the highest ratio of vipers per square mile outside of the Wayne and D'anne Ruah's place.

I like this guy.

[Vprbite]

Don't listen to Leadfoot. He used to eat a lot of lead paint. I don't mean as a kid. I mean like 6 months ago.

[LifeIsGood]

You guys are killing me...Rich (AZSN8K) is being very helpful.

[LifeIsGood]

I got to meet Rich (AZSN8K) today and he gave my wife and I a tour of his home...very nice! I met Jim yesterday as he saw us inspecting the empty lot next to his home. He was also very accommodating. Here lies the issue. Both of them have 2 vipers each and I only have 1...what to do, what to do?

Sounds like you answered your own question there. Im glad you met Rich. Good guy and good club member for years. Even our president for a while.

[GABOON]

Well, we finally got moved. We're in a rental until our house in Viper Central Blackstone gets built. Ground breaking is Sept 18. It should be done March/April of 2016. I swapped emails with Debbie (Arizona VOA President) and were on the email distribution list. Thanks all.

What town did you move to LIG? My wife and I are thinking about a move to AZ and I'm looking into places to live out there.

We like living 'OUT' away from the hustle and bustle. We lived just short of the foothills in Denver and now we live just beyond the 303 in Peoria, south of Lake Pleasant. We like that there's a 10 mile drive through the desert (from I-17) just before our neighborhood. We're building in Blackstone (Links section) which is part of Vistancia. We looked all over the Phoenix metro area and decided on Blackstone.
