Vail, Arizona currently has around 3,000 people and is around a 30 minute commute to Davis Monthan Air Force Base and Raytheon.
Diverse housing, a lovely 18 hole golf course, and plenty of outdoor activities make Vail a desirable location for families looking to avoid "city" life, and as with most suburbs, the further away from central, the more affordable the home. Vail has homes starting in the low $100,000s going up into the millions.
