5. Tucson VA is one of the better ones, I have heard

you could check out Santa Cruz or Cochise counties too. there are lots of areas within an hour or so of Tucson. both have a bit more elevation for temperatures if that is a real concern. what seems to aggravate your condition? is it humidity or some other factor? don't forget there are (or should be!) a few humid hot months with the summer rains. also those higher elevation locations in the surrounding areas will be colder in the winter. I live at 4500 feet in Cochise county and we are a good 10 degrees cooler. I actually live without AC or even a swamp cooler, though it can be pretty miserable during summer daytimes. I compensate with a cheap Intex pool and just stay wet with a fan.

That is just for perspective on what a difference 10 to 15 degrees or a thousand feet or so can make.
