Beautiful views!
How does this compare to Montana views?

I agree - very stunning.

Yes, a lot less humid than in the Carolinas. That's why we're here.

I don't know if I said that here but we had a choice of anywhere in the country to live as long as I work on eastern time.

We picked Oro Valley over Tucson because most of the schools in Tucson are terrible due to lack of money. Once you get out of the Tucson ISD they go to some of the best.

Very different, but not as pretty, of course!

We just had some guys trim the bushes in the first photo. They didn't do a very good job while the house was empty (apparently since January).

It's very reminiscent of the areas around Santa Fe, NM, which I felt was the most scenic area we saw on either of our Western trips.

Yes, pretty much but Santa Fe has different flora due to its elevation of 7200 ft.

I've always been a fan of views that include mountains. At least, ever since I arrived out West for the first time at age 17. --Bob

Yes, quite convenient to not have to trim the 'bushes' except every other decade.

Only the acacia needs trimming.
