Nothing beats the coast, but it's good enough. Tech jobs are coming in, prices going up. If you've already locked in a nice rate on a mortgage and bought a house before the prices doubled though, it's pretty sweet. Depending on how far you want to drive, and what you want out of life, there are numerous openings in smaller towns further outside of of two major metro areas. Show Low specifically seems like they always have openings across all the companies operating out of there. Nice little town up north in the woods, long flights though, and it gets awfully cold/snowy through the winter.
