Moved to Arizona about six years ago and I absolutely love it. There is so much to do. The outdoors are absolutely amazing. If you want a healthy, active lifestyle for a reasonable cost, this is an amazing place. Every morning when I walk before work, I look up at the mountains, and I am just in awe. AZ is great.
@@real_airgot I lived in Indy for awhile. The change is good. I would say we are definitely not the south down here. This is the west, and there is a western, laid back vibe. There isn't the baggage that the south has. Arizona is the ultimate you do you place. Nobody really gets in your business here. It's not the Bible belt. It's very open minded. People here like to have a good time. I just went to the beach in Mexico last weekend. Fun time. Of course, Arizona is vastly different wherever you live. Tucson is totally different from Phoenix. I live in the southeast corner of the state which is different still. Flagstaff is different from the bigger cities. Most people move to Phoenix which is where a lot of the jobs are. The Phoenix area is actually many different towns. You can find one that fits your perspectives pretty easily. It's hot there in the summer, but winters are beautiful. Tucson is funky, artsy and very multi-cultural. It's a college town. It's really cool. Where I live close to the border, there is a lot of cross cultural arts stuff going on. It's pretty neat. Come on down. You'll like it.
@@toddinde great comment thanks for sharing. Curious, where do you live now? Just curious why you chose the south East portion of the state in contrast to all the other areas that get a lot of attention
And a governor who cheated her way to a gubernatorial office. A state that is becoming rapidly corrupted by demonicrat Kalifornicators infesting this state bot to mention illegal cartel thugs.
I grew up in Sedona. I'd love to move back there but I'm not a millionaire and don't know how to wait tables. I suppose I could try to open the 10,000th shop selling magic crystals.
Lol. I lived in Showlow, Flagstaff and Pinetop Lakeside. I never felt like I needed to be a millionair to exist there. Matter of fact I'm about to move my family there in 6 months or so.
I lived in Tucson for about 9 months in late 70's... I still crave the smell of the desert are especially before it rains during the monsoon season I wish I would have lived my life differently because I would buy a house in Arizona in a New York Minute. Unfortunately I had family here in New England I didn't think about the future when they would all die and I'd be left here alone shoveling snow at 67 years of age
@@GolerGulch I would if I knew I could get affordable housing...I love Tucson and Arizonans as the most unpretentious people I have ever met and I have been in almost all of the lower 48 States
At 70 I'm finally going to join my BEST FRIEND,and move to TUCSON,she left Michigan,in 2012...I to am tired of cutting grass,and shoveling SNOW,and the COLD,increases my pain...I'M COMING ZONA..saving like never before!!!
I used to live in St. George Utah and it’s somewhat like Arizona. I have lived in Colorado since 2010 and want to get back to the desert environment that I knew and loved. My wife and I are planning to move to Arizona. As I get older I’m finding that I would rather take the heat, than the harshness of the cold anymore. If I want to get out of the heat for a little while, I would just make a trip to Payson or Prescott, and I’ve seen Mt. Humphreys from a distance and it was breathtaking and inviting. Surprise Az, is our aim. I love going through Sedona Valley and the scent of rain which, is the chaparral plant, there’s nothing better. It was that way after a gentle rain in Ivins Ut. And it would be that way it the vast desert land in Arizona as well. I think from now on, I would rather shovel sunshine than the snow any day. Yes Colorado is beautiful, but it’s changed so much. Kudos to the Arizonians and the intensity of the desert life and it’s beauty. I like also traveling through Jacob Lake and coming down through the Vermilion cliffs. I was in Scottsdale at a conference once and it was really neat.
I live in Arizona city and it floods and we get height winds. People are not friendly us Arizona at all! There’s a few but not not many at all! I’m from mn and then people and myself are way more friendly than Arizona people!
I LOVE Arizona!! It’s My “Happy Place” to Visit for Months Every Year. (I Hate it when I have to Leave too 😢) Especially coming from an Ugly Crapy Criminal State like Illinois Is!! See You Soon ARIZONA!! ❤️❤️🥰🏜️🌵🌴❤️❤️
I was born in Arizona as was my siblings both of my parents one grandfather and my children I just want to tell you some of the things that I loved as a child growing up in Phoenix.

It's a place for do-ers. no crime and not even grafitti.. almost everyone will sit and talk about any thing.. likely to se a sign on a business that reads ' closed for daughters baseball game, back at 4:00'.. . life is more important here than business.
Arizona is a beautiful place I absolutely love Southern California, but it’s just to expensive. I’m proud to call Arizona my home the great state 48 and damn proud of it.
Live in the Puget Sound in Summer, but always begin to look forward to returning home to AZ in November. The contrast between the Pacific NW and AZ is the best life for me and six months in each I attribute to my health and mental health.
Sadly criminals are moving there just like Calif or Florida or Texas .. it’s just sad they ruin societies they buy or rent bring there ug people soon it ruins the society be careful Arizona Californians are mostly baracaded in their homes because criminals are ramped if you call police they target you more … violently good luck be careful
Why is that I hear of ppl talk of A Million Dollars home like it’s just so easy to get and obtain. A Million Dollars is still off limits to 93% of Americans. But I hear the term a Million Dollar home is blah blah blah. Like it’s a $50,000 home. Lol
Thanks so much for the information! I'll be moving to Arizona within the next one or two years, so I'm looking for this kind of content. I'd like to see a video on secure places outside of the cities to live with pets (maybe even be able to keep three or four chickens). Gated or non-gated communities, tiny house parks, decent or nice trailer parks. Also the one you mentioned are not so secure. Which are the ones not secure?
I love these videos! We moved from MN to AZ 11 years ago and we have yet to discover all the cool places we can go to right here in this state. Watching your videos gives me the info I need to do a State- staycation. For example, I just learned from this video, about the Reptilian Preserve in Gilbert. That’s now on my calendar for a day trip. Tucson & Tempe are coming up as well- thanks to you and your videos. ❤
You didn't mention Mt Lemmon...it's over 9000 ft and there is a ski resort ( Ski Valley, the most Southern one in the country), so yah, if you want to get snow in the Southern part, you can get it there too! 😊
I love it out here in Arizona I am not from here I moved out here from back east because of all that snow blizzard really really cold weather ice lots of ice beautiful state wide open space I do like the Heat the weather is great to me I can go on and on about how much I love it out here in Arizona
There are wild Buffalo on the North rim of the Grand Canyon. They had a hunting season for them a few years ago as there were too many of them. I have seen them. There are California condors and big horn sheep here as well. I have seen the condors and photographed them. One of the natural disasters here are Killer Bees. People get killed as do dogs and horses. The state is not as buggy like other states as it's so dry. I see very few mosquitos where I live. Another benefit of living here is that it is so dry that when your dog poops in your yard, you can leave it one day and it will turn in to a brick that is much easier to pick up.
Last 3 years we were in Paradise Valley- the place you would feel safe, right? No. We had more crime in our little area than the 26 years living in Mesa! This included constant car break ins, police helicopters over our neighborhood nightly, homeless sleeping along the canal, as well as an entire police search for 3 men on our property in the middle of the night. It’s changed. Your opinions will be based on where you were before living in AZ if you’ve not been there long enough to know .
All true for AZ. You can reach winter snow & skiing on Mt Lemmon 45 mins from Tucson--where summer heat is always lower than in Phoenix. Plus, you adapt to heat in this multi-cultural state.
Renting has gotten really expensive in the cities. Home prices have risen, but that's everywhere. There are some fires, but I have never seen mudslides and floods.
Im from San Diego but have been living in Florida for an along time. I'll retire from the military next year and want to move back west for that where I fit in unlike in the south. But everyone knows im not moving back to California. Arizona just might be the spot. Close to family but outside the crazy zone
Philadelphia PA is so expensive and most of the homes are row house which you have to share a wall or two with your neighbors it’s not worth it. Arizona here I come🎉 I have family that has been in AZ for over 17 years so that’s says a lot 😂🎉
If you don’t live at a high elevation or can afford a summer home in a high elevation, There is no upside to living in Arizona. The valleys are hell on earth six months out of the year.
After 38 years in electrical engineering I’m going the for hire contractor route. Mixed signal analog/digital component level design from requirements list to finished PCBs? I can do that in my sleep. I can also review existing schematics and save the customer a board spin and months of lost time, identifying design errors before production starts. I did this every day at the 9 to 5 gig. So I’m taking the early retirement from my employer, selling my paid off home in Plano TX, and looking to move west. Really looking at….Kingman. Why? LA is a day trip. LV is about like driving Plano to Fort Worth. And places to set up old film cameras in the middle of the night, pointed at ruins on Route66 are right under my nose. Kingman also splits the difference between July heat stroke in the CO River valley and minus 5 in FLG in January. So. Yeah. Not everyone’s first choice but for someone looking to live that stretch from 55 to “engineer has assumed room temperature”? Kingman ain’t a bad place to land🤠
Lots of people live off the grid in northern Arizona. They also live without a well. They also live without a septic tank. It goes without saying they live without electricity.
@@phoebehill953 I know what u r saying. My apt got to expensive & I left to live in my automobile after all the prices kept going higher & higher. It's not easy but I manage. I am saving $ witch I was not able b4. I'm interested in places that I can live off grid. 😉
I loved AZ from the first time I stepped off the plane in Phoenix a few years ago. We are making plans to move there and I can’t wait! No more winter! No more tornados! No more awful humidity! And if enough liberals keep moving there - no more Iowa conservatives!
I LOVE AZ, glad I moved here; but if you've ever lived in the South or Midwest, you wouldn't say that about the food here. We're lacking in that area, my opinion.
@@pamelascottAZrealtor ha we have the best Mexican food and Tucson won one of America's best foodie towns. Phoenix has it all fantastic choices. I'm from the Midwest and Arizona food is way better.
Love your videos bud, and my research(6 mom.) I found AZ housing is expensive to my budget compared to many other states that has many 200K houses, considering its Mostly a desert with 120 summer heat, and no water soon, of course, if you compare it with Communistfornia, is not fair lol.. but hey, I like AZ, hates that 93 hywy from Vegas to Phoenix, yikes the bumps all over, love the scenery tho.. stay safe.
I grew up in Tucson. I would move back to the area in a heartbeat. However, Arizona is known synonymously as either the Copper State or the Grand Canyon State. Florida is the Sunshine State.
Thank you for being honest. This is the truth! And you can't really enjoy a pool if you have one. It feels like a hot bathtub at times. People don't do it. Look into Idaho or Oregon.
I moved to AZ from San Diego, CA 3 years ago. Initially, I absolutely adored it; however, I had been a hiker, biker, and walker all my life. I was tall, thin and modelesque -- Super Model. When the summer came, it was unbearably hot, and I just could not exercise outdoor. The first year, I gained 10 pounds. This summer, it was consistently 110 degrees for two months straight -- with temperatures as high as 120 degrees. Scientists predict that in fifty years, AZ will be uninhabitable because of the heat. I moved here to buy a home, but I am now looking elsewhere. If you can't stand the heat, get out of AZ!
@@joshlovsbball Thank you. We are planning to move back to Alpharetta, GA. Also, when they opened the floodgates in AZ two weeks ago, tens of thousands of illegal migrants invaded the state. Each year, the crime rate soars, illegal immigration is up 200%, rents are up 26%, home prices and homelessness are sky high, and it is bloody scorching hot. AZ was an ideal state, but in the short period of time since I have been here, it has changed drastically. Happy Day!
We used to be the best state ………… now the true locals (lived in Tucson my entire life) can’t afford to buy anything due to the surge from California and other states, our rent has damn near doubled and I’ve been trying to buy a home for my young family for over a year and half I have been beat out by cash offers more then I can count and our pay is not increasing to Match the cost of living here. What was 200k 5 years ago is half a million now and good luck trying to beat the cash offers….
I can’t wait to move away from Arizona lol it reminds me way to much of the Middle East almost only dirt and rock everywhere super hot reminds me of bad memories I miss Kentucky and green I’m definitely not happy out here I don’t like the desert
“One benefit is that the system isn’t quite all the broken yet so we came here to fuck shit up” thanks for making things 5 times for expensive. I’m spending 15 dollars at at QT n shit. Krazy
What I hear about Arizona living there is that water and electricity can be very expensive for the obvious reasons and the high heat causes lots of resistant losses In Arizona you have a lot of varied climates because of the mountainous areas I have visited Arizona, Phoenix, and Sedona I have yet to visit Tucson, but I hear that’s got a lot better climate than Phoenix I did have some locals driving around Sedona, and there are some small towns near to Sedona that are more affordable Sedona is a tourist town with a lot of people trying to live out of their cars so it’s very crowded with the transient crowd of people You like East Coast culture or even the kind of dynamic of the coast of the Pacific you might find Arizona a little bit backward I think I choose to vacation in Arizona for a month or two to see how I would like it before I move there There is a Mexican coastal city in the sea of Cortez. That’s reasonably closed that gives you an option of going to the beach, and they have an easy access To this Mexican Puerto penesca

Arizona is super underrated. It's Probably a top 8 state in the country as far as natural beauty, weather, and things to do/see.
Overrated
Ok ok, im convinced...im going in! lol
Check out Grand Canyon, Bisbee, Sedona, Flagstaff, and Prescott. They’re some of my favorites.
And a governor who cheated her way to a gubernatorial office.

It took us a while to find our homes in Arizona. We would not live anywhere else! Everything you said about the state is true!
Great job on your videos Jeff. I don't know how anyone could not love Arizona, wonderful state.
You can also go south, Cochise has excellent weather all year.
I was born in Arizona as was my siblings both of my parents one grandfather and my children I just want to tell you some of the things that I loved as a child growing up in Phoenix.
Going barefoot and jumping grass lawns
Wallace and ladmo
Our cabin near payson
Our ranch near happy jack
Fishing in Big Lake
Dad making homemade icecream for the neighborhood. Can't forget legend city. And big surf
Loved the book by martha summerhays. vanished Az.. talking about the life and all the camps.. as well as the apaches. They mention their travel over what they call stonemans lake. Thanks
I live in Lake Havasu.. ( no mention). but it's the playground of Az. 35 mile lake with 200 mph. boats and events going on all the time!
It's a place for do-ers. no crime and not even grafitti.. almost everyone will sit and talk about any thing.. likely to se a sign on a business
that reads ' closed for daughters baseball game, back at 4:00'.. . life is more important here than business.
I love Arizona visited for my son's graduation and fell in love. Will be moving from Tennessee in May of 2025!! So excited!
Moving to Arizona in a year and I can't wait and couldn't be more excited
I’m thinking of moving back to Phoenix or Prescott, I prefers Prescott but finding job first is more difficult.
You want to escape the heat? You can drive to Mount Lemon or the Huachucas,etc. . Not just north
Arizona is a beautiful place I absolutely love Southern California, but it’s just to expensive. I’m proud to call Arizona my home the great state 48 and damn proud of it.
Yesss! AZ >>>> We love where we live and are dedicated to helping others find a place they love too!!
Need help for good place with kids
I moved here from South Texas. The monsoon season is new to me .Look Out. Always something 😎
Nice job Jeff! You need to buy an old tour bus and offer day long tours (with cocktails for the passengers!)
That sounds fun for sure! Would be a dream lifestyle

Definitely make a video of places to avoid.
I drove thru NM and Texas last week and their gas prices are .60-.80 cents less than what we pay. Just my comment
Sadly criminals are moving there just like Calif or Florida or Texas .. it’s just sad they ruin societies they buy or rent bring there ug people soon it ruins the society be careful Arizona Californians are mostly baracaded in their homes because criminals are ramped if you call police they target you more … violently good luck be careful

Try driving through California if you think Arizona has tuff gas prices

@@GHE2005 Snowflake, Holbrook, St. Johns - many people living off-grid in trailers or fixed-up large sheds.
@@phoebehill953 thx u for the tip. I truly appreciate u.
I loved AZ from the first time I stepped off the plane in Phoenix a few years ago. We are making plans to move there and I can’t wait! No more winter! No more tornados! No more awful humidity! And if enough liberals keep moving there - no more Iowa conservatives!
We are looking for a good place to be….Arizona is on the list right now! thank you for the video! Markus, Germany🍀
I think a lot these things are true for many states that being said I still bought a place in Arizona
I’ll be moving out there this fall if everything goes as planned
That's awesome!!! Happy for you!!
You’ll make it!
Great video and well said!
Do you live here?
@@Wendy-q1v Yes.
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Very informative videos! Here's something I learned I thought I'd share: Javelinas are not related to pigs.
Dude you forgot the most important great thing! FOOD! 🎉
I LOVE AZ, glad I moved here; but if you've ever lived in the South or Midwest, you wouldn't say that about the food here. We're lacking in that area, my opinion.
@@pamelascottAZrealtor ha we have the best Mexican food and Tucson won one of America's best foodie towns. Phoenix has it all fantastic choices. I'm from the Midwest and Arizona food is way better.
Don’t forget the constant construction everywhere and heavy traffic jams in Phoenix.
Awesome video!
I was watching a video about. Arizona ,too many taxes he mention luxury taxes. Is beautiful I love to see it
Love your videos bud, and my research(6 mom.) I found AZ housing is expensive to my budget compared to many other states that has many 200K houses, considering its Mostly a desert with 120 summer heat, and no water soon, of course, if you compare it with Communistfornia, is not fair lol.. but hey, I like AZ, hates that 93 hywy from Vegas to Phoenix, yikes the bumps all over, love the scenery tho.. stay safe.
Little snow unlike Montana
I grew up in Tucson. I would move back to the area in a heartbeat. However, Arizona is known synonymously as either the Copper State or the Grand Canyon State. Florida is the Sunshine State.
my family and I are moving to Arizona in September/October. I’m really excited but i’ve been hearing a lot of mixed things
I wasn't born in Arizona but I got here as soon as I could.
Better save money for your electric bills, that's the bad.
119 degrees 7/18/2023.
Thank you for being honest. This is the truth! And you can't really enjoy a pool if you have one. It feels like a hot bathtub at times. People don't do it. Look into Idaho or Oregon.
I love fishing the many miles of canal's in yuma county so Quiet and never a crowd. Fish like a hermit.
Great video. Thanks
Hi, I really enjoying your videos, three years living in Phoenix area. Was wondering if you have any video about Avondale, Litchfield or good year.
I moved to AZ from San Diego, CA 3 years ago. Initially, I absolutely adored it; however, I had been a hiker, biker, and walker all my life. I was tall, thin and modelesque -- Super Model. When the summer came, it was unbearably hot, and I just could not exercise outdoor. The first year, I gained 10 pounds. This summer, it was consistently 110 degrees for two months straight -- with temperatures as high as 120 degrees. Scientists predict that in fifty years, AZ will be uninhabitable because of the heat. I moved here to buy a home, but I am now looking elsewhere. If you can't stand the heat, get out of AZ!
Please tell all your California friends to not move here thanks!
@@joshlovsbball Thank you. We are planning to move back to Alpharetta, GA. Also, when they opened the floodgates in AZ two weeks ago, tens of thousands of illegal migrants invaded the state. Each year, the crime rate soars, illegal immigration is up 200%, rents are up 26%, home prices and homelessness are sky high, and it is bloody scorching hot. AZ was an ideal state, but in the short period of time since I have been here, it has changed drastically. Happy Day!
Then why did you come here in the first place you should've stayed in good ole little Cali barf 🤮
@@joshlovsbballIkr!!!
@@joshlovsbballIKR!!!
Thanks mate. lots of info.
We used to be the best state ………… now the true locals (lived in Tucson my entire life) can’t afford to buy anything due to the surge from California and other states, our rent has damn near doubled and I’ve been trying to buy a home for my young family for over a year and half I have been beat out by cash offers more then I can count and our pay is not increasing to Match the cost of living here. What was 200k 5 years ago is half a million now and good luck trying to beat the cash offers….
I grew up in Maryvale and I miss Arizona.
I always like you info very nice thanks
Arizona is probably the best place to retire. It’s also my home state!
Favorite coffee place in Tucson?
Thanking about coming from Eastern Oregon!
Arizona is my future home
There is no water there, very hot, crowded and expensive. No good.
We have water
A beautiful state, don’t know about the best state.
Jeff! Ya better come visit where i work in Cave Creek man!
And where is that?
Don’t expect people to be happy you moved here
I can’t wait to move away from Arizona lol it reminds me way to much of the Middle East almost only dirt and rock everywhere super hot reminds me of bad memories I miss Kentucky and green I’m definitely not happy out here I don’t like the desert
I like Arizona but the weather is just to extreme for me.
If you can afford 2 places
then switch between cool summer at high elevation and warm winter in low elevation, would be ideal.
I'm coming there from Michigan can't wait to leave 💯💯 tired of Michigan OMG
You can change your city lol
“One benefit is that the system isn’t quite all the broken yet so we came here to fuck shit up” thanks for making things 5 times for expensive. I’m spending 15 dollars at at QT n shit. Krazy
Thank You so much!
What I hear about Arizona living there is that water and electricity can be very expensive for the obvious reasons and the high heat causes lots of resistant losses
In Arizona you have a lot of varied climates because of the mountainous areas
I have visited Arizona, Phoenix, and Sedona
I have yet to visit Tucson, but I hear that’s got a lot better climate than Phoenix
I did have some locals driving around Sedona, and there are some small towns near to Sedona that are more affordable
Sedona is a tourist town with a lot of people trying to live out of their cars so it’s very crowded with the transient crowd of people
You like East Coast culture or even the kind of dynamic of the coast of the Pacific you might find Arizona a little bit backward
I think I choose to vacation in Arizona for a month or two to see how I would like it before I move there
There is a Mexican coastal city in the sea of Cortez. That’s reasonably closed that gives you an option of going to the beach, and they have an easy access To this Mexican Puerto penesca
Stop telling people our benefits of living here.😢 Too many people moving here
Lol your comment about working from home, I live in Minneapolis and work from 🥶😂😂
