I’m considering a transfer to either Florida or Arizona. Culture and urban living is very important, as well as plenty of sunny days. My spouse and I are in our early 30′s with one 4 year old. I really like the idea of being close to the Caribbean since my wife is from Puerto Rico. However, based on my research, Tucson seems like an interesting place. I digress, here goes. The following things are very important to us in no particular order.
-Plenty of cultural activities. (Museums, Music, Ethnic Food, etc.)
-Good education and diverse options.
-A vibrant or redeveloping "downtown," as we like urban living, especially with new construction for living.(condos, apartments, or redeveloped buildings)
-Low crime
-Clean beaches or a short drive to
-Major airport
-Stable economy
-Equitable cost of living(I know this is relative, especially since we like living in "downtown" areas)
-Good health care
Clean air!
Again, I know much of this stuff is relative, but at least you have an idea.
My take would be to move to Florida only because Arizona can get very hot in the summer. but in Florida you would just need to work through the storms. And living close to the Caribbean is a good choice to so like you said your wife is from there but it wouldn’t be that expensive to get away from the scorching heat if you lived in Arizona.
What are the best places to live in Florida or Arizona?

I personally would go to Arizona. They do not have hurricanes in Arizona. The climate is great and you do get seasons. The air is clean, very low humidity, very rich Mexican culture and Spanish is spoken most everywhere which would probably appeal to your wife. No great beaches unless you like lakes or rivers, beautiful scenery like none you have ever seen and affordable housing. Arizona does not have the drug problems as found in southern Florida but there is always the drug influence from Mexico.
A good place to raise a family.

FL: Adventure Island Home – The Wahoo Run is truly the ultimate family raft ride! It plunges its riders at a rate of more than 15 feet a second. The half-enclosed tunnel corkscrews over 600 feet to an awaiting splash pool.
Adventure Landing – Jacksonville – This is one of the best places to experience a day full of fun on the Westside! You will be able to play putt-putt fold to your heart’s content on the two challenging miniature golf courses. There is also an exhilarating go-kart track that spans a quarter of a mile.

To each his own but if it were me I’d be on the way to Florida.
