Thinking about moving to AZ, worried about scorpions. Whats your input on scorpions?

My daughter got a lucrative job in Tempe, Arizona. We had never been to Arizona but lived in San Juan Island, WA, Seattle, WA, Washington, DC, Minneapolis, and Toronto. I am excited for her, and it will also be an opportunity for her and me. As a senior retiree, Arizona would be a nice place to retire. Thank you for the video and the information.

Horrible place to live it gets hot starting in April very many allergies, no water back to California in two years

I love it

I moved to Pnix in 1976 with family. And, while it wasn't so bad back then, But thru the 80s and onward the heat became suffocating. The last 3 years have been frighteningly HOT, with the number of 110+ degree days reaching 72 just last yr. And APS says they are near maximum load capacity for the grid. If you don't have solar, prepare yourself for deadly heat. Even the roads get soft in June, July and Aug

Great video because my wife and I are looking into relocating to Phoenix. So thank you

I love power ranch

The one thing that bothers me most about AZ (and NM) if you have to either have a VERY expensive filter in your house, or buy drinking water. NEVER DRINK TAP WATER IN AZ. WE have both an R/O system under the kitchen sink for pure water, and also the machines that you put big 5 gal bottled water in. It's pricey either way.

I moved here in 2010 from MI. I HATED MI. In MI there were 2 nice months where you could be outside and enjoy nice weather. May and Oct. Summers were too dang hot and humid during the day, and too many bugs in the evening. I spent my whole life. Sitting inside staring out wishing I could at LEAST SEE sunshine. Nope. It is cloudy there from Oct to April almost every day. There may be a few clear and sunny sky days in the winter, but those were soooooo cold! And bright. Sun reflecting off the snow is so bright you can hardly open your eyes. Down here we rarely have cloudy skies. Those are days when we might actually get rain so we get a little excited about them. But no matter how hot it gets, you won't have to shovel it. And you won't slip on it and break a hip or slide off the road into a ditch. You go from your 75° car to your 75° house. You can sit in your cool home and at least see sunshine outside. And for me (I've been here almost 15 years now) I am acclimated to being outside (in the shade) up to 109°. At 110 I stay inside. So there may be 3 months where I don't play outside. In Michigan there were 2 where I COULD! I live in a bedroom community SE of Phoenix proper. I love it here! People are friendly; climate is dry and easy to breathe; even our "small town" has all the big stores (many of them - several malls, etc...); world class healthcare; and a LOT of things to do. I do wear light weight gloves in the summer to protect my hands from hot steering wheels and door handles. Most businesses cover theirs. Monsoons are over touted. Less rain here DURING the monsoons than in Michigan in spring! LOL this years we had a Non-soon - no rain here at all. I lost track but it's been more than 155 days without rain. Dust storms - maybe 3 or 4 per year. Not everyone sees them, and you just stay out of them! I Always keep a mask in the car (I have lung disease) so as soon as we see the cloud coming (they are obvious) I don a mask. Have you seen pics of (Usually Mexican Men) under a tree with bandana around their face? Those who work outside here do also. Dust is bad for lungs. When I go back to MI I'm like "It is sooooo green here." That's a real thing. But It's the least of my concerns. I have a monthly pest control service that keeps pests away. If you hear crickets here you immediately call them. Crickets chirps are a dinner bell for scorpions. I have never seen a big snake. I pretend they are other places. LOL NEVER let small dogs or cats out to play by themselves. Large owls and eagles will swoop down and snatch them up before you can grab them. Keep a leash on them is your best bet for saving them. The food??? I find the food here very good. Many good restaurants and bars with good food. But I live in Gilbert... LOL

Try the Midwest winter, the east coast is easy versus that area.

Plus the urban heat island effect, skews the records. Just take it away from concrete and it’s damn hot obviously, but in the desert it’ll be 110 for those months. I’ll take the sun over the clouds because taking Seattle and England and the arctic cold of South Dakota. Trust me. Try those climates for a period of years not just visiting.

A lot of opinions on here. Do as you please people. I’ve lived at 52 degree north latitude in England, 7000 ft in the mountains, the pacific NW, Southern California and South Dakota. Have any of you truly lived in a cold climate? If you have, you’d understand why the heat and a state with so many terrains like AZ is so desirable. My wife and I have a final destination and it’s AZ now. We’ll be in touch with your channel 😊

Scottsdale public schools suck

You tried real hard to sell Arizona. The worst thing about living in AZ is all the people that have moved here in the the last 40 years. It used to be a great place to live until you all arrived and drove the prices up. Now, more Cali people are moving here. Go to New Mexico.

I live 1 mile from the ocean in NJ. so, we might miss it. one of our concerns is that the flight is so far from going back to visit the east coast..... LMK how you feel about being that far away.

Guys, thanks - good info about Tempe... appreciate!

Do you do rental properties? Or can refer any rental realtors?

No water

This has been really helpful, hopefully it'll be still valid when I'm planning on moving

Where do you recommend looking for apartments to rent in the Mesa / east valley area? Thank you in advance! 😊

Hello! I hope you're doing well. I’m a Digital Marketer and TH-cam SEO Specialist. I recently checked out your TH-cam channel, and your videos are fantastic! However, they seem to be missing the audience they deserve. Let’s work together to optimize your channel and boost its visibility. Feel free to reach out to discuss how we can get your videos the attention they need! Best regards,

Phoenix is a dump. Full of red necks from what I see. I’ve had the unfortunate business of having to trace there weekly for client meetings and I’d never live their. Albuquerque/NM is actually prettier.

Besides the heat,I find the desert ugly and depressing..

Phoenix is running out of water. Also, the earliest 100 degrees ever recorded was in May the latest was in October.

Went to Phoenix for the first time last year and it’s very similar to the San Fernando Valley. Interestingly, both Phoenix and San Fernando Valley have a population of about 1.5 million people. I think LA folks will get a déjà vu feeling.

I enjoyed the video and I liked and subscribed and was happy to see you didn't mention our area of Arizona because we like it that way and big city people can stay where they are forever as far as we are concerned~! You will have many more city people in the near future with California emptying out shortly~!!

I am thinking about moving there.

Also, I loved the areas you mentioned in chandler. But is there any town that is still safe and nice but that has a little bit more acreage in chandler?

Hello, I've been wanting to go to Arizona to live but have no idea where to start and have many questions. My most important one is how safe is Arizona being a border state? Is there q lot of human trafficking? Homelessness? Etc.

I've got to call you guys. 2025 is my year and Mesa/ Apache Junction is my desired place. Perfect video!

Only $400k WTH.

I love the Santa Fe style brown exterior stucco can you find me one

Sun lakes is in Suprise I thought

How far to Phoenix? What about to other tourist attractions like national monuments, parks etc?

Nice video very well done with insight about that area of Phoenix, Thanks for posting this,!Also became a subscriber as well for more of this type of content… Tony J. from Indiana..🙌🏼👍👏🏼🏘️🏢🏗️📸

What was the community without HOA right after Honeysuckle? You jumped to it too quickly, but didn't mention its address.

I moved here in 2007. I grew up in CA (central coast) and lived in Santa Barbara before I came here (I was in graduate school at the time). We live in the burbs and have a good life but I miss CA. It’s way too hot from April and pretty close to November and it’s unbearable. Stuck indoors for 5-6 months whereas CA was perfect. Also, I’m a person of color so living out here in the burbs is not the friendliest place and you feel it too.

Great job guys!

Summers are brutal especially if you have children and they have the worst school system in the country. The heat is unbearable and utilities are sky high.

No, Don't come here. Summers are impossible. I'm leaving after 2 years. Just open your oven and feel that blast of air, that is Phoenix in the summer. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

And the best part? As soon as you buy an overpriced house it's going to depreciate when the bubble burst!
