It’s beautiful here in the winter November to March are the best with temperatures in the mid 60s to 80s but 100+ degree temperatures starting in April until October make it hard to enjoy the city. July and August are truly unbearable with heat spells of 110 degrees and no relief at night with temperatures only dropping to the 90s, everything is confined indoors for these months because heat stroke is a very serious concern and with AC needing to run 24/7 during that time of year you can imagine the power bills. An outage or broken AC unit is anxiety inducing as it can quickly make your home uninhabitable.
@@asadb1990 That is brutal, but I'm happy to hear you'll soon escape the winter!! It's a beautiful 61F here in Phoenix today! That's after all the "cold" weather we've been experiencing the last few weeks. Hi of 70+F this weekend! If there's anything we can do to assist you with your move, please don't hesitate to let us know!
Hello! I would say it really depends - MOST A/Cs will last through the summer unless you aren't taking care of it or servicing it as often as needed. This year with 31+ days in a ROW of 110+ degree weather we are seeing more ACs quit or struggle, but it is fixable... In regards to the no cold water - I mean it gets slightly cold but definitely not ice bath cold...! LOL! For the high electric bills there are also ways around this, but only so many ways before you spend more money on solar or roasting in your house! I would definitely take the higher electric bills in the summer over shoveling snow in the winter!
Number it’s hot 🥵 number two it gets to 125 it’s hot number three cost of living is expensive number 4 stay out of West Phoenix in North Phoenix up to Dunlap drag Infested if you move to Chandler or Scarsdale or Carefree or even anthems, you’re good number 5 A lot of the in certain parts of Phoenix, but if you like getting outdoors and you like the green nature and cool weather, I would say move to Flagstaff Sedona, Payson Prescott, and the northern parts of Arizona is like 7000 altitude don’t come here
The thing i love the most about working from home since 2020, besides no commute, is that I dont have to go outside to leave my car going into a building and leaving a building to go to my car 5 days a week. The heat is the worst, but i live here for the other great 5 months of the year
I lived in Joshua Tree for 4 years and I loved the 100 degree + heat. Now I live in Washington DC and I can't stand the cold, my heart is yearning for the desert biome! I miss it. My mental health has really declined since leaving the desert. Planning on making the move to Phoenix in the next year ❤️ it's also cheaper then DC 😂
ShalySophia, thanks for watching!! Wow, it would be amazing to live in Joshua Tree! Can't say I'm jealous that you're in DC now... feel free to come back to the desert anytime, we'd be happy to help you in any way that we can!!
Sun City doesn't have all block walls between yards. Most newer neighborhoods do. Been here 34 years and love it. ( visits to relatives in the summers helps)
@@VonnieOdette Love this.... you are exactly right. If you're looking for a city or community with no block walls for backyards then Sun City is your jam!
Hey Mark, this is very interesting because I grew up in Omaha Nebraska, which is about as opposite from LA as one could get. I’d love to know more about your perspective on this comment…..
That's correct! Flagstaff, AZ up in the mountains has more harsh sunlight/UV rays. Definitely need the extra sunscreen or solar sleeves along with a bucket hat when you're up there!
I moved here last year from Montana. I'm still not sold. The heat is very hard for me. And I still feel like I'm just visiting. Not sure I can deal with the no seasons, same day the exact same. Thoughts?
Hi Matt! Thanks for watching and supporting us! It definitely takes some getting used to Arizona. I'm originally from Omaha, Nebraska and I originally felt the same way. 18+ years later and I truly feel this place is home! It didn't take 18 years to feel this way, but it did take finding my "community" of friends and finding the right actual community for me and my family to live! There are some very quaint neighborhoods around the Valley that make me feel like I'm back in the midwest! The heat is brutal at first, but you start to get used to it. Tinted car windows, bucket hats, solar sleeves, a gallon of sunscreen and a BOATLOAD of water will definitely help! I think last year was one of the hotter and dryer summers, and this winter was incredibly wet and cold (not compared to Montana though...) We do have some seasons here, but we often skip spring... Fall is the BEST. Not everybody will love it here, but we hope you warm up to it! If there's every anything we can help you with in terms of real estate or exploring the valley, please don't hesitate to let us know!
I’m from Lincoln, Nebraska and I’ve been here for 3 months. I agree with this list, just would add another thing: Homes here not having a BASEMENT is a huge shock that folks from other areas really need to brace themselves for!! I’m still not over this… Houses are more expensive with less square footage (no basement)!! It’s tough to wrap my head around this!! Also I miss the change of seasons and when tree leaves change colors around Halloween/Thanksgiving… My husband loves it here but I’m homesick…
Well Lillian - I say give it some time and you will love it! I’m actually from Omaha, NE so I know EXACTLY what you mean. But over time you really start to love it here and then you wonder “how did I ever get by without living in AZ” lol
Im in gilbert, southeast of Phoenix and I have a 2400 sq ft basement. They were a trend in the late 90s if I remember correctly. There would be trick driving up and down the road asking if we wanted dirt. They're around, but there aren't a lot of them.
This is an accurate depiction of a newcomer’s perspective on Phoenix. But after living here for five years I’ve learned to embrace the natural beauty and heat of the desert.

Thanks for watching Weezy!! Yes, Phoenix is packed, but the saying is "the more the merrier", right?! All jokes aside, there are a ton of suburbs on the edge of town that could use a population and housing bump! Expect more growth!!

What part of Phoenix will I find Monument Valley? As you show at 0:52…
As a Phoenician who grew up here I can tell everyone outside of Arizona, don’t move here. We’re full. 😁
🤣🤣🤣
@Debed 👍🏻
@Debed I’m a CA person and I plan to move there. I don’t care what you say you internet hater of swag. I bet you don’t even like chimpanzees 😂😅🎉.
I'm okay with everything in Phoenix because its 21 degrees in Chicago right now
Hahaha, this may be one of the best comments we've ever had!!! Yes not to rub it in, but it was 73 here and sunny yesterday :).

He forgot to add House A/C will not last and No cold water to shower in the Summer time. Hight electric bills.

I’m actually planning to move to Phoenix in September from PA. I don’t think I can do any more winters.
Hey Arnold - well we would love to help you make that happen when you are ready! Call us at 480-660-5974!!!
It’s hot as f in Arizona 115 all the time
It’s September and the high is still 105
The dry skin is the one for me. I have had to change my habit to put lotion on more frequently.
Definitely. Investing in high-quality sunscreen as well with moisturizer is huge.
Air quality wasn't great when I lived there.
Thanks for watching, Marin! Air quality is definitely a struggle here... Hopefully we can find ways to improve it in the future!
thats why i would like to visit p.s go cardinals
Thanks for watching, Vandenberg! Come visit us ANYTIME - we've had some phenomenal weather this winter! I agree - GO CARDINALS!
rock walls, concrete block walls, and wood fences are a western united states thing they are everywhere.
Thanks for watching, Tom! You're not wrong... A ton of rock, concrete, and wood fencing/walls the further West you head!
LA guy moves to Phoenix and tries to sell real estate is the vibe of this video
Hey Mark, this is very interesting because I grew up in Omaha Nebraska, which is about as opposite from LA as one could get. I’d love to know more about your perspective on this comment…..
yes skin cancer prevalence is very high in the american southwest. it's even worse at higher elevation places which phoenix is not as it's low desert.
That's correct! Flagstaff, AZ up in the mountains has more harsh sunlight/UV rays. Definitely need the extra sunscreen or solar sleeves along with a bucket hat when you're up there!
Lol I gave you your 69th like :)
Very cool information honestly extreme heat and scorpions are scary.
Thanks for watching, Zach! I promise the heat and scorpions are not as scary as they sound! 😂
@@EverythingPhoenix that's good to know dude. I can handle the heat but finding scorpions in your bed? Yikes
After living in California for 20 years, Arizona is a paradise. Love living here.
Thank you for watching and supporting us! We may be bias, but we also think Arizona is paradise!! 🌴
Did you bring your left wing politics with you?
@@GabrielWJensen Absolutely not. Its the reason I left that liberal nightmare.
@@Politano1955 Good to hear. I moved from Denmark to AZ and didn't bring my left wing politics with me either
I moved here last year from Montana. I'm still not sold. The heat is very hard for me. And I still feel like I'm just visiting. Not sure I can deal with the no seasons, same day the exact same. Thoughts?
