I live in Yuma for almost 2 years. Only what I hate is the weather. I CAN'T STAND IT. People are nice and Yuma is close to important cities as San Diego and Nevada.

Crime toward the north and eastern part of Yuma appears to be non-existent. Overall, seems quite safe.

There are numerous activities especially from October through April. The Colorado River and desert hacking and off road activities are endless.

The restaurants are fair and there is a wide variety but, in need of nicer full service upper scale.
