There are 3 decent lakes from 30-45 minutes from Phoenix in Roosevelt, Canyon, and Saguaro that offer plenty of shoreline for fishing, boat tours, water skiing, and camping. Lake Pleasant just north of Phoenix is also popular.

Between your burger video, this video, and the upcoming micro-brewery video you mentioned I have a feeling my next weekend visit is gonna be very busy! 😳🤷‍♂😜🤘

Old town Scottsdale definitely has walkable downtown district with a bunch of bars and restaurants and downtown Phoenix actually has a lot of options for bars and restaurants in walkable distance

Can you do a video of Sun City Anthem please?

LA… u got beaches and snow on the mountain during winter..and we also got high speed pursuit everyday and tons of homeless and traffic day and night😂

Outstanding summary. Debating Henderson for retirement, also looking at Las Cruces. Appreciate info.

That Cameron Hanes quote!

Coyotes are leaving

You found not pay me to live in Phoenix! Boring city…, been there done that!

These are the two cities I’m considering!!! Thanks for this information.

I'm a veteran that's already living out here and I plan on buying a home 2025 February-May after I graduate. I definitely would like to talk to you or your team in order to get ready.

I lived in both. I have family in Phoenix but when I left Los Angeles I picked Vegas. The reasons where its about 5 degrees cooler on any given day. If it 115 in Phoenix its probably 110 in Vegas. You might not think that's a lot but, its a lot given how many days Phoenix has over 100 degrees. Also its way easier to get around town in Vegas with shorter commutes. The style of houses is much different. Phoenix has more 1 story ranch homes with bigger lots than Las Vegas. Most Vegas homes seem close to one another and are split level. But the main reason I picked Vegas is it just seemed livelier, taxes were lesser, cost of living a little cheaper, and its easier to access to CA if you want to go the San Diego for example. Either city blows LA out of the water. The Vegas airport is easy to get to and use. But I agree both are great places to live. I sacrificed sports over LA but since moving the NHL, NFL and Formula 1 have begun, The A's will take 3 years to move but the facilities will be excellent when completed. And the Sphere is the best modern concert venue in the world .

Diggin' all the HB shout outs, guys! 🌞🌊😎🤘 As a So Cal/OC native we have always just accepted the "paradise tax" as the price the we have to pay to live where most people dream of vacationing. But it really is getting to be a bit too much to bear these past few years. And unfortunately there's no sign of it letting up any time soon. Which is why we reached out to Mike a couple months ago to start looking into Vegas as our next possible home. Another great video, Moody Olson Team! Thanks!!! 😉👍

I lived in Hawaii for over three years from 2010-2013 and loved it. I always felt safe and loved the culture, atmosphere and hiking. Great analysis.

Las Vegas vs Miami or Orlando

Great video! As someone who was basically raised in Hawaii, (father was in the Navy and retired out of Pearl Harbor) I can for sure say that it has grown to become a very expensive state to live in. My parents bought their first home in 2002 for under $300,000 and it was shy under 1500 sqft. Their home now, which also happens to be a 2 minute drive from the previous one, with a decently sized backyard and much more space with a little over 2000 sqft cost 1.2 million when they bought it. Luckily, my parents still have a very steady job and income to be able to sustain such a nice property. I moved from Hawaii to Las Vegas with my wife just a couple months ago and while definitely a climate change, we do enjoy the lower cost of living in comparison to back home. Plus, Las Vegas has been known to be the 9th island of Hawaii with a lot of locals moving/visiting here! Definitely not a fan of the rising costs to purchase a home here in Vegas as I do plan to buy one within the next 5 years and I'd prefer not to pay Hawaii housing prices for a 2000 sqft home in Vegas but we definitely shall see what the next few years brings to the Vegas housing market.

Great video as I just met a fellow who moved here from Seattle and he shared with me that in Seattle, he was spending $75 a week in food and now he is spending $150 a week for the same food in Las Vegas!!!! Please BE Warned!!! I just met this GUY in mid April of 2024!! The TECH scene dictates RENO, Not Las Vegas!!!!

Love Original Tommys on Boulder Highway. I want to find the Big Boy Tavern. Also grew up in California. Great presentation Guys😊😊

Great video! We're coming back out at the end of August and it looks like we gotta put Sickie's Garage on the to-do list!!! 😜🤘

Lived in Seattle my whole life. May thru September here are awesome. Rest of year sucks. No kidding on rain it awful and clouds, the older you get the worse it plays on mind and body. Looking to retire in 2 years, eying desert. I visit LV 1 or 2 times a year. I love the weather. I cant handle the cold weather in Seattle. My eye is nevada or Arizona. Good video. Thank you. You were spot on with Seattle.

Great video as a longtime resident of LA$ VEGA$ for over 13 years now. My advice to people moving to LA$ VEGA$.......DON'T!!!

I lived in both cities. Love Vegas, but outdoor living in Phoenix dominates Vegas hands down. I appreciate your bias though 😊

Please keep doing this type of videos. How about doing a comparison between Vegas and Dallas or San Antonio.

thanks for your video.

Thanks for the info

Do you guys specialize than rentals as well

Seattle is wonderful from May thru September

Oahu vs Vegas

If I didn’t have kids, I’d move to LV in a heartbeat. It’s a shame how bad the LV schools are and no one’s doing anything about it

Seattle is a crime ridden city where police are not allowed to enforce the laws. Cost of living is outrageous due to the terrible liberal policies in place.

This is a neat series. I would have found this very useful prior to moving to Las Vegas several years ago. At that time, I was also considering Reno and Sacramento. By the way, one of the factors I heavily considered is risk from natural disasters such as earthquakes and wildfires.

It's like comparing men to women😂 so different

My wife and I are “urbanites” and enjoy living in downtown. Like you…the Arts District is our favorite dining and nightlife area (love all the craft beer spots). Spent 3 years in a high rise but then found the Vintage Vegas neighborhoods of Rancho Bel Air, Rancho Circle, Scotch 80’s, Alta area, etc.

Watching this with my headphones on at work and your "Step Brothers" reference literally made me laugh out loud!!! Everybody else in the office is looking at me funny now! 😳🤣

I don’t like Las Vegas at all, it’s a shallow, tacky, and vulgar place, but I still would choose it over California.

Could not pay me to live in Commifornia!

Simple: if you can afford San Diego do it. If not, well there’s always Vegas.

Was looking at those last week at cadence

Lots of good information here, this is a debate I've been having with myself for the last year. Even with a 6 figure salary, I question whether or not I could comfortably afford to live in San Diego.

Don't care about beaches and there are parks everywhere. The state is a cesspool. I avoid admitting I was born there.

Thanks for prcing locals out of the housing market. Now it takes a six figure income to qualify for a mortgage with most houses starting at $400,000+. So middle income locals with incomes under $75,000 are priced out. Only wealthy out of town buyers find Southern Nevada affordable. Sure, real estate agents have done very well since 2020, but they have to know there's lots of anger over the cost of houses and even rentals.

I live by 3 lakes here in California and an ocean I doubt that Vegas wins on that.

I am from Temecula ca . I was just in las Vegas for the toycon last week and the traffic was worse than anything I experienced here . The weather you can’t even compare. You pay for what you get.

If I could afford San Diego I'd definitely move there. My friend owns a place right on the ocean in Encinitas. It's stunning, but so expensive. We both own in Vegas too, but also paid less than 60k for our condos.

Its california enough said....unfortunately, Nv is becoming california...

Good info

This is a lot of great info

didn't see the backyard?

I plan on moving to Vegas this year. North west is where I wanna move. Big time golfer. What are the normal golf prices for 18 w/ cart? Just trying to get a general idea. Here in Michigan, I’m used to paying $40-60 but I figured NW Vegas might be a tiny bit more expensive
