New to AZ and new to real estate

My husband and I are moving to the area in January from NYC and are researching multi family units to househack. What are the best neighborhoods to start our search in?

 Hi Jordan,

Most small multi family homes were built in the 1950s and are in the older parts of Arizona. you will find them in Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Scottsdale areas mostly. Most are in not so great neighborhoods. 85032, 85022  might be a decent zip code to look in that might blend both affordability and ok neighborhood. Tempe has some too that wouldn't be so bad to live in.
