I'm in the same boat. I want to get out of the city, but I don't have a
car so I'm stuck with the buses. You say you work in a bicycle shop.
Do you ride one? If you do, you're a brave man. It's my understanding
that valley drivers like cars with hood ornaments because they use them
like crosshairs - to better aim for their target - the guy on the bicycle.
> I’d actually really like to get away from the city,
I live on the west side and would love to get a place between Sun City
and Wickenburg, but since the buses don't go that far, I'm stuck.

In my case it's not the neighbors next to me or above me. It's any one
of several people who live in an apartment several doors away. They
like their Mexican oompa music so much the like to share it with
everyone else. A lady did that one day and I got my revenge. I took a
loud radio outside and let her listen to Rush Limbaugh. :-0
Good luck with your apartment finding.
