Its a dump--air pollution, no seasons, no water, no grass. everything is a chain restaurant. schools are horrendous. Its called the U-HAUL stated-people come and go in Phoenix. CAlifornia is another story--DUMP!
How’s it going? I’m trying to move out after a likely divorce I will be going through. I have wanted to go to Arizona for the last 20 years. I am trying to research because I have to move out with two little ones with disabilities so need to plan ahead on every aspect. No hotel stays while lining up housing etc.
I live in Victory at Verrado... Love my home, a David Weekly bigger home and yard, with views of Tiger Mountain. We don't have the nice restaurants that Scottsdale has.. 20 min drive east to restaurants. 45 min drive to airport.. easy to get on the 10 to go west to CA. We are growing scary fast.. so the amenities will come.
Greeting from Gilbert! Big green grass lawns should be illegal in the southwest. This is a frigging desert and lawns WASTE SO MUCH WATER! Insanity is growing grass and then paying someone to cut it and throw it away.
Really beautiful and well-kept places. Presence of a lot of greenery and ponds that are good for the eyes and mind. Nice video really well done both from the ground and from the air !
Can you please make a video on Peoria Arizona. Awesome areas like P83, parkwest, Vistancia, West Wing. Also have hidden gems like Casa de sunrise, happy valley, castle hot springs
I agree, Phoenix, AZ is the best city to live on the country. I am so happy I moved here and I don't want to live anywhere else. I live in one of the suburbs, not the actual city limits, and it's great here!
We moved from Illinois a few months ago and have done a ton of recon for building our next home. We pretty much settled on Estrella after our first visit.
@@hawyerwelton353 Palm Valley area is the only place in West valley I would live. Estrella is out a bit too far - unless you work out there. It is nice enough - but not Las Sendas in NE Mesa. I am at the airport in 22 minutes.
I vote for the North Central Corridor, between 7th Ave and 7th St, north of Camelback. It's an older area with huge lawns, massive trees, sprawling ranch-style homes, and restaurants that are second to none. This portion of Central Ave includes the historic Murphy's Bridal Path (runs along the east side of Central Ave.) and multi-million dollar mansions, some of which are historic. Even the side streets are a joy to walk, as the homes are mostly from the 1950's and 1960's and are all unique (a wonderful respite from the endless seas of brown stucco cubes elsewhere). The schools are among the best in the city. People you see on the bridal path, the side streets, and in the restaurants and stores all smile and say hello. And OMG, even the children say "Thank you, sir" and "Excuse me, sir." Living in this neighborhood is really like stepping back into a kindler, gentler time. I love it because it is so unlike the other places in the Valley where I've lived most of my life.
The north central corridor? Yeah, absolutely. But be sure to bring your bank book, you'll need it. It's some of the highest priced real estate in the Valley.
@@nomdeguerre7265 You're right about that, Nom. I never dreamed I could afford to live here but a few years ago I sold a small, old, patio home and used the profit as the downpayment on an even smaller and even older condo. I still shop at Walmart for food and other stuff, though LOL. No A.J.'s for me! I prefer my tomatoes cheap and bruised - not like something in an ad.
@@nomdeguerre7265 Food City can be good if you hit it on the right day. I went to one a few months ago, but it was on a Saturday, the place was really busy, and the produce wasn't on sale (and went for fruits and vegetables). And nothing else seemed inexpensive, either. I have also noticed that some Food Citys are much better than others (the one by my friend in South Phoenix is really nice, big, and clean). Back when I had the patio home, I used to love Winco. It used to have prices that were much lower than Walmart's, but when I drove all the way to my old Winco a couple of months ago after not having been there for three years, I found the prices there had gone way up, too. I guess you really have to know when the stores have their sales.
I lived there 33 years. It is not a great climate. It's too hot, even at night, to do anything in the summer. There's not enough sunlight to enjoy the mild parts of the winter. And it reaches freezing temperatures in the winter. The yearlong swing from lowest to highest temperature is like 20 degrees to 115 degrees in a typical year. That's an awful swing of 95 degrees. I retired from teaching at ASU. I purposefully moved somewhere that never gets too hot and never too cold. I now live on the southernmost coastal area in Washington state. The lowest temperature so far has been around 28 degrees. The highest about 80 degrees. I'll take this climate anytime over the god-awful, horrible weather in Phoenix.
Millionaires row is what you started out with! I need elbow room! Nice places but i could not live on top of someone! Spoiled living here in New England i guess! Give me the mountains! Great video thanks!
👋 fellow New Englander! I assure you you don't have to live on top of each other here, you can buy/rent property off the grid, you just have to know where to look.
Arcadia the oldest area. Best convenience in the county! My house is 70 years old-1100 square feet on 3/4 acre of grass and trees. . . Who knew we had such a lush neighborhood.
@@mspeaches351 nope. I flew back to Tennessee to gather my thoughts, had to come back here anyway to get all my shit together and get my car shipped to AZ if that’s where I decide to
@@Jvilleman400 oh ok…. I’m currently one yr away from moving somewhere & not sure whr yet…smh.. it was gonna be Henderson, NV but I’ve reconsidered due to healthcare & schl system not being great
@lil_Danny904, I bought my Glendale home 24 years ago and have loved Glendale the entire time. Now I have the Cardinals playing in my backyard...NO complaints. (And do not agree with this dude's biased video). I say stay.
Lots of great places to live here these days. Some older established places (which is funny to consider places like Gilbert or even Chandler as those since I remember those being brand new places, but they are now) and a lot of new up and coming places. Pretty much anywhere you go nearly every amenity is within a 15 min drive with almost always some within 5-10 min. One thing I love about here. My wife and I are almost done with a new build out in Eastmark (Estates at Eastmark) and have to say I have been very impressed both with Eastmark but also that whole area around there. With the tech corridor building out (Apple there now, Facebook and Google coming), the mesa gateway airport, and lots of things coming like the Legacy Sports park etc. We looked at a ton of new build communities like Estrella (Liked Estrella but was just a bit removed for us and the floorplans didn't quite call to us), Verrado (also some smaller ones near Verrado like Arroyo Seco and Sedella), Avance by South Mountain, Storyrock in Scottsdale, multiple places in Queen Creek like Bridle Ranch (almost pulled the trigger here, was a bit concerned with proximity to major roads and the new Fat Catz, though walkability to a theater in a community like that is pretty unique), Caleda, Meridian, Spur Cross, etc. Tons of others... but in the end Eastmark impressed us the most. Not only did the big one story houses by Shea in the Estates (with good sized lots) win us over on floorplan (got one with the biggest open space living area I've seen) but the amenities and overall community design really stood out. Extremely impressive that 7 or so years ago nearly nothing was there. For us community didn't matter as much until we started looking and it feels like you just get a lot of value out of your HOA in DMB communities in general and especially in Eastmark. Overall I think there's a lot of great places you can live in the Phoenix metro area and you have a great list here. It's been great to see the area grow with such great areas at a variety of prices too. I grew up in some not so great places here, when I was very young in the 80s my family lived off of 35th and camelback (close to Grand ave) and then near Christown mall. Later we moved a bit north west on the border of Glendale, certainly nothing fancy but a bit nicer. Still have fond memories of the valley though. These days though there are some great communities all around though.
I lived in Sun Lakes for many years. You have to have 1 person over 55. My mother lived there until she died. Chandler was nice. I liked the area south of Phoenix off of 10. Hopefully you will be as happy as we were. I couldn't take the heat so am now in Northern Nevada.
Would of gotten a like but you left out one of the best areas in Phoenix and that’s Ahwatukee witch in my opinion is better then any place on this list right of the 10 and 202 beautiful south mountain ⛰ older community and beautiful homes in the foothills
Ahwatukee has been around for years and it wanted to be the next Scottsdale but it just never happened. Not enough entertainment, only one way in and and one way out. The new freeway has made it more accessible but it's definitely not worthy of this list. This list is the happening areas that everyone with money wants to live.
@@adopymyfosters I was going to say the same NW Peoria is the closest IMHO as well (I'd say further NW than Arrowhead, though Arrowhead is a nice area too). Though I'd say it's a bit more like Gilbert/Queen Creek, not nearly Scottsdale level (no offense intended, I'd personally choose Peoria over Scottsdale, but based on land values and desirability etc). Verrado would be the other possibility, but again not really comparable to Scottsdale more of a comparison to Queen Creek or Gilbert.
Overall how is the road quality in the Phoenix metro? Coming from a cold weather state like Ohio whose roads are marred by potholes from ice, snow and snow plows, I'm hoping for better roads when I move out there next summer.
LMFAO! Im a native of Scottsdale and i moved the heck out of town. Rent is one of the highest increases in the country. Better watch a few more vids before moving to the desert that is slowly running out of WATER.
There are a lot of HOA communities in Queen Creek. Some are more rural-ish with low or no HOAs and big lots. As a general rule if a community has nice amenities like big green parks, ponds/lakes, pools, community centers, etc. You literally get what you pay for, though if you don't want those things, like parks etc, then there are places to skip the HOA, probably a bit more in San Tan than Queen Creek now.
I have lived there since 1984 and just moved. DO not move there cant say enough bad things about that garbage dump. Watch "'10 reasons you should never move to Phoenix" I fully approve that video. you have been warned
Sun City, old people dying everyday=sirens at least once a day near you. But it is cheap. Remember we had 2 week of 115F+ everyday but dry. And 2 months of hot and wet every summer.
Let me have okay yeah let me have a three musketeers and a ballpoint pen one of those Combs there a pint of Old Harper couple of flashlights batteries and the beef jerky
Notice that he says *very* little about good schools. This is because AZ is now 51st in the country in per pupil funding. So a community like Queen Creek - which rejected bond measures to fund schools yesterday - will have nice houses, but will also have an uneducated populace, burned-out teachers paid peanuts quitting by the minute, overcrowded classrooms, and little community resources to help the underserved. However, Arizona is the perfect state to live in, if you hate kids. Which, apparently it does.
@@moodypet8837 Congratulations. Imagine how much *better* your son's top rated school would be, if AZ were not 51st in the nation in per pupil spending.
Wow, look at all the cookie-cutter developer-built HOA communities, at the outskirts of urban sprawl, far from downtown Phoenix. Perfect places to live if you lack character and don't want to admit to yourself that you are in a desert. Why not Casa Grande for half the price, at that point? Alternate advice: Only buy what you need for the next decade, not as large or pretentious as you can possibly afford. Let a reasonable budget guide you, especially in this inflated market. Look for communities without HOAs or historical districts, restricting what you can do with your own property. City inspectors are enough to maintain the property values, and are already intrusive enough. Go to the Desert Botanical Garden and Xeriscape gardens to see what landscaping belongs in the desert, instead of replicating a golf course or wherever you moved from. Don't immediately worry about updating your home to the latest amenities. First, focus on improving your building envelope. Improve your windows, exterior doors, and insulation, as well as shade the East and West exposures of your home with large trees. It will do far more than getting fiber-optics, making your kitchen pretty, or whatever pretentious stuff was being discussed.
The homes and buildings are not built for hot dry climate and in this hot climate you need high pitch roof's and not flat roofs as they are not suitable for the hot climate. So every one must be relying on air conditioning .
you could'nt pay me to live in phoenix ever again i moved from that shithole 25 years ago i come every nov to see my dad he lives in fountian hill the less i have to be in phx the happy i am
Don’t listen to this guy, it’s one of the fastest growing and most stable economy. Beautiful 8 months of the year and plenty of beautiful suburbs to move to.
@@suzannemiranda3987 I live in Mesa it’s changed so much the last 10 years I left if 2008 when the crash happened came back last year and man is it beautiful
I lived in Gilbert and Scottsdale for 16 years. EW, moved back to the East Coast. No Grass in Phoenix, nothing natural about Phoenix, the trees come in from out of state. It's HOT and Sunny 350 days a year. The schools are horrendous. Allergies and pollution is bad there. #1 state for REHAB facilities. NO vibe or soul in Phoenix. No rain in Phoenix. California is a dump too!
Lol...nice videos took the time to point out very smalll good parts . Why dont you show real Az. You know bumper to bumper traffic on 10 freeway and westside now there's a crap hole and of course downtown phx with homeless kids especially around tempe town lakes.
You're all-star when it comes to Arizona videos. Truth is I haven't found any better. Thanks for making great content.
Agreed, he's very very good
Big Super is really good too
I haven’t been to Phoenix since 2010, but don’t care. I still love it and have lots of good memories there😩🌵

Yes - I like it also.

Ever consider doing a video out in Tartesso Buckeye? Seems like it’s possibly another spot about to take off. Love the videos keep up the great work!

Looking at ur videos i see a lot of water lakes and green lawns and golf courses ..i wonder y were running out water???
Never new so many places existed in or around the metro area of Phoenix.
Desert Mountain for the Win for me.

Hi neighbor!
I lived in Sun Lakes for many years. You have to have 1 person over 55. My mother lived there until she died. Chandler was nice. I liked the area south of Phoenix off of 10. Hopefully you will be as happy as we were. I couldn't take the heat so am now in Northern Nevada.
Everything is within a 15 minute drive. And it is all hell on earth if you can't drive.
Estrella Mountain Ranch is in Goodyear. Goodyear is attracting lots of new businesses. Opportunities for employment, dining, and entertainment
What happened to chandler?
Country club and southern is probably one of the best places to live in Phoenix
That's what I think of when people talk about Mesa.
Would of gotten a like but you left out one of the best areas in Phoenix and that’s Ahwatukee witch in my opinion is better then any place on this list right of the 10 and 202 beautiful south mountain ⛰ older community and beautiful homes in the foothills

Where are all the people from CA moving.....I'll take that off of the list....
yea, you'll show them huh?
What are your thoughts about the Colorado river incident?
Mesa isn't cheap for SRs..unless you can afford mobile park with $600-800 month lot fees
Scottdale's bar and grills are excellent...among other things
..
lots of hookers and drugs
What about water issues? or less water and droughts?

Not quite but Arrowhead is very nice. I think NW Peoria is the only place west that comes remotely close.

You are showing why the humidity is so high.
What gear do you use to record your aerial views and driving footage?
What about Chandler?
Ocotillo Neighbor hood is beautiful
where is 3:42 located? i need to take some pics there
It looks like SkySong on the corner of Scottsdale Rd and McDowell.
I wish you would do this with the Tucson neighborhoods
I would say the only area this video is missing is Verrado and maybe Peoria.
Check out Surprise, az.....a lovely place too...all the places on your list were at the top.....of excellent 😀...anything you want is in Arizona.

Takes a racist to point it out.
One thing is clear in all these areas. Nobody walks.

if you are gay
What? El Mirage didn't make the list?
do you think Black Canyon City will ever boom?
It's all just sprawl. L.A farther East
So if you "lumped" all these suburbs together what would the population be?
Bout 1/3 of the population of the entire state is in metro phx
Entire Phx metro is 4.5M
What’s up Jeff
I have lived there since 1984 and just moved. DO not move there cant say enough bad things about that garbage dump. Watch "'10 reasons you should never move to Phoenix" I fully approve that video. you have been warned
Sun City, old people dying everyday=sirens at least once a day near you. But it is cheap. Remember we had 2 week of 115F+ everyday but dry. And 2 months of hot and wet every summer.
Yep a bunch of old moldy right wingers who are drunk by 1:00.
The winter is heaven
Thought AZ was over crowded with people ..I don't see anyone.👀
they are all inside from the heat
Let me have okay yeah let me have a three musketeers and a ballpoint pen one of those Combs there a pint of Old Harper couple of flashlights batteries and the beef jerky
Fountain Hills was not on this list?
what's wrong with Chandler？ it's an awesome place I'm from taiwan. mark my words down.
Notice that he says *very* little about good schools. This is because AZ is now 51st in the country in per pupil funding. So a community like Queen Creek - which rejected bond measures to fund schools yesterday - will have nice houses, but will also have an uneducated populace, burned-out teachers paid peanuts quitting by the minute, overcrowded classrooms, and little community resources to help the underserved.
However, Arizona is the perfect state to live in, if you hate kids. Which, apparently it does.
Many areas with great schools in az
@@moodypet8837 Yeah. Great compared to bottom-performing states like Mississippi.
I live in Tucson in the foothills. My son is in a top rated school
@@moodypet8837 Congratulations. Imagine how much *better* your son's top rated school would be, if AZ were not 51st in the nation in per pupil spending.
@@The_slowest_buuurn stop it's a great school
Definitely need a car here
Hey are you MBBB3333? Or something like that? It’s your voice. I know your voice☺️
Wow, look at all the cookie-cutter developer-built HOA communities, at the outskirts of urban sprawl, far from downtown Phoenix. Perfect places to live if you lack character and don't want to admit to yourself that you are in a desert. Why not Casa Grande for half the price, at that point?
Alternate advice: Only buy what you need for the next decade, not as large or pretentious as you can possibly afford. Let a reasonable budget guide you, especially in this inflated market. Look for communities without HOAs or historical districts, restricting what you can do with your own property. City inspectors are enough to maintain the property values, and are already intrusive enough. Go to the Desert Botanical Garden and Xeriscape gardens to see what landscaping belongs in the desert, instead of replicating a golf course or wherever you moved from.
Don't immediately worry about updating your home to the latest amenities. First, focus on improving your building envelope. Improve your windows, exterior doors, and insulation, as well as shade the East and West exposures of your home with large trees. It will do far more than getting fiber-optics, making your kitchen pretty, or whatever pretentious stuff was being discussed.
The homes and buildings are not built for hot dry climate and in this hot climate you need high pitch roof's and not flat roofs as they are not suitable for the hot climate. So every one must be relying on air conditioning .
🤦♂️
you could'nt pay me to live in phoenix ever again i moved from that shithole 25 years ago i come every nov to see my dad he lives in fountian hill the less i have to be in phx the happy i am
Don’t listen to this guy, it’s one of the fastest growing and most stable economy. Beautiful 8 months of the year and plenty of beautiful suburbs to move to.
Wow, who hurt you bud?
What lucky city did you pick?
@@suzannemiranda3987 I live in Mesa it’s changed so much the last 10 years I left if 2008 when the crash happened came back last year and man is it beautiful
Thank you for moving
I lived in Gilbert and Scottsdale for 16 years. EW, moved back to the East Coast. No Grass in Phoenix, nothing natural about Phoenix, the trees come in from out of state. It's HOT and Sunny 350 days a year. The schools are horrendous. Allergies and pollution is bad there. #1 state for REHAB facilities. NO vibe or soul in Phoenix. No rain in Phoenix. California is a dump too!
Julie I'm quite sure you will not be missed good riddance.
Lol...nice videos took the time to point out very smalll good parts . Why dont you show real Az. You know bumper to bumper traffic on 10 freeway and westside now there's a crap hole and of course downtown phx with homeless kids especially around tempe town lakes.
Thank you------true
What about san tan valley?
