Wow, I can't believe that I haven't seen this thread until now.
My family's home is in Buckeye and we're just about to be moving there.
Long story short, my family searched for a new home and found one in my Middle School years, we all visited it every Winter/Summer vacation during my High School years (2 weeks - 1 month), and we all love it. Now that I graduated from high school months ago and my father is retiring pretty soon, we're finally making the complete move-in this fall.
I'm coming from Michigan, so adjusting to the dry heat felt like a new experience the very first time we went there. I actually like this sort of heat, so I prefer it over Michigan's humidity-filled summer days and chilling winters.
We've visited plenty of stores/resturaunts that we were new to and I can guarantee that we'll find some more that will become our favorites. I'll be starting college later this year starting from Estrella Mountain Comm College to ASU (both colleges accepted me, but I'm taking the Community College as a smaller leap for me) and I actually feel encouraged to do things outside like bike riding whenever I'm there.
But yeah, we're moving in a few weeks and I've already made several visits there to know that I'm going to enjoy my new home.
