I'll start answering by asking you a question: Where in AZ have you visited?
1. Neighbors: Not used to them, but every time I want to work I just open up the garage door, turn up the radio, and get to work. When I see them watching me I smile and wave so they know I see them. Usually keeps them from being too nosy. I get along well with my neighbors so far, only been here six weeks or so though. I live in a smaller neighborhood and have some old-fashioned neighbors that believe in being friendly and helping just because.
2. Traffic: It isn't bad here. Worst case it takes us about 35 minutes to go 20 miles through town. Speed limit is 45 mph in town and 50 mph on the bypass... also 55 mph in the open areas. Much slower paced and easier than Las Vegas or Phoenix.
3. Waiting in line: I've found that you wait in line anywhere in the country these days. Companies have less employees to help their bottom line. Even in ND customer service is all but dead and you wait in line. In this area, to avoid the lines you go first thing in the morning. City slickers like to sleep in and us farmers that are up with the sun can get the jump on them!
4. The hot summers I always liken to the -35 degree winters in ND, there you go from heated house to heated car to heated work place most of the time. Here you go from AC in the house, to AC in the car to AC at work. And, it really is a "dry" heat. 120 in the shade with a fan or breeze feels like 95 degrees with some humidity in ND.
If you don't like the heat, but don't mind some snow in the winter, there are places like Flagstaff and surrounding communities that stay under 100 most of the summer.
This area is growing, but isn't too big yet. I believe around 60,000 people in a 20 mile radius. We have shopping places that YT won't let me list and there is an outlet mall along with cas inos and plenty of golf courses across the river. If you find the right community, your lifestyle wouldn't have to change too much - even in Phoenix there are communities with lots of old tractor collectors, I try to go to at least one of their shows each winter.
If you have more questions, ask! If you want to come visit I can help you find some discounted air fares along with cas ino tour packages that include hotel stay.
