Thanks. I also appreciate the advice that people have given regarding where I might want to avoid.
Some of our home search is limited by access to good schools. Tucson has an arrangement in which students can choose the school that they wish to attend even if they live outside the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we will be moving very near the beginning of the school year. All of the available spots in all of the highly rated public schools are taken. So, we need to move into a neighborhood with a good school. Then, they have to take us regardless of whether or not they are "full".
