I love my PHX grew up here all over the valley, bout to move with my family to Dallas for a better job , and like you said the purple mountains are real haha that sunset here in the valley is one of a kind that I haven’t seen anywhere else so far
Thanks for watching and supporting us! I can't imagine leaving Phoenix, but I'm happy to hear you and your family have a great opportunity available in Dallas! Arizona mountain sunsets cannot be beat!!
10 years ago, I would have picked Dallas in a heartbeat. So much has changed in the Phoenix area to rival some of the best cosmopolitan cities from restaurants, special events to night life. I think Phoenix is by far a more exciting place to be today for families or young professionals.
Yep. Phoenix area is better if you're single. I meet so many diverse people from all around the world these days it's changed so fast. Also, if you're outdoorsy, Dallas is straight up depressing. Just broken concrete and grass all around.
moved to Dallas from LA, I love it here, I think Phx wouldve been my other choice. Wife's family is in LA and it's only a weekend drive. But I love the job economy here in Texas, red state & a few other things, great video.
Paradise Valley is one of the best parts of the entire state! Very luxurious, large lots, more greenery - just overall very beautiful! We do have couple videos on Paradise Valley if that's an area you're looking to relocate to! As always - we're happy to go over any area in more detail in a one-on-one call with you if needed!
Do you think Dallas humidity compares to the humidity in southern Florida? I was in the Miami area for roughly a week in June and found the humidity almost unbearable. It seems like Dallas would be much more tolerable, due to it being in northern Texas, rather than closer to the water like Houston.
Hi Chris, thanks for watching! Great question - I think that the humidity in Southern Florida/Miami is rough compared to Dallas. Miami receives more rain than Dallas, so that might play into the more humid environment. The humidity in Florida is GREAT if you love beautiful winters, but summers can be tough with the rising heat. In Dallas, you have some humid summers, but winters can be COLD due to the little humidity helping. Dallas weather is a little more like Scottsdale with the somewhat dry weather.
I lived in Chandler/ Sun Lakes for many years. Great German food in Mesa, the Scottish Games in Phoenix are some of the best I have been too. I made great friends in AZ. I left in 2013 after my mother died and my sister moved to Hawaii. The Summer was hard on me because I can't take heat but luckily Sun Lakes has great pools. I live in Reno Nevada now and Phoenix has better restaurants than Reno. Still looking for a decent pizza. Yet Summers are not as hot as Phoenix. Phoenix is a great place for families too. Gilbert/ Queen Creek are popular. Dallas is great too. Texas has the gulf so you do have Galveston and other communities. AZ has the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Both have a great horse shows. Scottsdale had a wonderful Arabian Horse Show and Dallas like Reno has rodeo. Both have a great football teams. Both have lots of choices for entertainment. I would choose AZ over Dallas too. Sedona is beautiful too.
High property tax no state income tax regardless of income vs generally low state income tax and generally low property tax except for newly built areas with infrastructure bonds
Well, I moved to Dallas from Tempe for a year and got severely depressed lol. So I moved back! Here's my reasons : 1. Lack of nature.. Dallas is just all concrete and grass. It's a very ugly city and there's no hiking, the culture is all around eating, drinking or partying. I drove 9 hours to hike Guadalupe peak which is one of the very few "real" hikes there lol. 2. Dallas is pretentious.. they're not kidding about this. It's very pretentious and people spend a lot to keep up appearances, people are very judgmental. 3. Weather.. Summers are just as bad, there's tornadoes and hailstorms in Spring and fall, winter can be erratic, very cold with ice storms. 4. Infrastructure.. roads in Dallas were just terrible. Some of the worst I've ever seen. Theres so many potholes and they took a toll on my car, had to get an alignment again. 5. Lack of Personal freedom.. there's no legal Marijuana, abortion bans, no liquor after 9 or at grocery stores or sundays or even New Years eve. 6. Overly Religious.. Its a very Christian society even in Dallas, very in your face. Christian universities all around. Arizona is very secular. 7. Racism.. I felt people in Texas were more openly racist. Got weird comments like "Ya'll are the same", didn't get my pickup order once cause they couldn't pronounce my name, a woman made openly racist comments about our group which had people of all races. I've lived in Alabama and never saw this even there. 8. Hard to make friends.. if you're single, its hard to make friends in Dallas as most people who move there are usually married, settled down in life. Locals also get married way earlier as that's the local cultire. If you're single in your late 20s or 30s there, its really hard. In Phoenix, people are more chill and I have no problems at all.
Hi Isaiah, thanks for watching! We do get monsoons and dust storms, but they're really not all that bad! I may be bias, but I think Arizona is AMAZING!!
@@isaiah_123 Dallas will have more humidity and few less days of sunshine than Phoenix. However, most of the Dallas hot days are broken up whereas Phoenix hot days drag on and on and on in the Summer! Dallas has a little more "winter" than Phoenix, but it doesn't stick around for long. By winter I mean a couple flurries/ice storms that don't last more than a couple of days. Phoenix luckily doesn't get many ice storms - maybe up in the Mountains, but we do have cold winter nights and can see frost on the cars and houses in the morning!

Jaime, thank you for your feedback on this. I love to hear people's opinions on what city they would choose and why. Thanks!

I’ve been to both. Phoenix has the slight edge for me.
Dubby U, thanks for watching!! We may be bias.... but we agree! Phoenix is AMAZING!
From Dallas born and raised but I’ve been looking to relocate. A friend of mine lives in Paradise Valley

Thanks for all this! Great information and insight
High property tax no state income tax regardless of income vs generally low state income tax and generally low property tax except for newly built areas with infrastructure bonds
Yes... which one would you prefer?
@@EverythingPhoenix I like my 1700 property tax, 200 state tax per year
Im in the east coast, Nyc specifically but its horrible out here. Im ready to go, but i’ve been looking into dallas or phoenix
Just like Florida long drives needed to escape the real 110 heat,
Yep, that's right....
