I am shopping for relo here as a digital nomad + retired reservist from Tenn. One of the biggest reasons is the cycling scene I heard.. not just the loop I been reading about, but also the frequency of group rides, amount of routes, hill climbs, warm winter season, etc, and some pros even moved here to train. Location wise, it's also cool to be close to the Mexico, then 5-6 hours to CA, Vegas, Grand Canyon, etc. Cost of living looks reasonable, and since DM AFB is there, I can also take advantage of their commissary for groceries. Another bonus, I love eat pho and Thai food and I see there are plenty there on the map. The thing I am concerned is the hot summer... i wonder if it's easy to airbnb out your house during those hot summer months..
OH NOOOOO. I am so sorry!!!! Do you have windshield coverage now so you can get it replaced for "free"? it's almost a necessity!! did you get it from the highway?
You are entirely right about getting a loan for solar. But the other option not mentioned in the video is to pay for solar out of pocket. I did that and it has been great.
Great point!! Yes, if one can pay for solar out of pocket, THAT'S the way to go. Only THEN does it increase the value of the property. Thanks for your comment. How many panels did you get, and do you recommend the company?
Great video! I just moved to Tucson and agree 100% with your review. Very honest and spot on! Excellent review on Solar as well. When we sold our home in California had solar! And again, everything you said about the solar financing is correct! Now that we are settled in, we love it here in Tucson, we are up in Corona De Tucson. Again, great video, thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it! How are you enjoying Corona de Tucson? Are there any other topics you'd like to hear about OR wish YOU knew before moving here? I'd love to make a video on them.
Depends on what you're talking about because when you go to a grocery store you can use coupons and their apps to save a bunch of money which then would offset the cost of anything else and then you'd be able to actually pick your own groceries. The cost of living in Tucson has doubled after covid and it's because people didn't stop it from happening we don't have any bills or laws being put in place or being voted on to stop the rise of rent cost and electricity cost and utility cost. There is no way that you should go from paying $500 to almost $1,000 for a one bedroom as if this is Phoenix. What they are trying to do is make a regular kind of rent for major cities but Tucson is not that kind of major city. Phoenix is that city, but even their rent used to be like 1100 for a two-bedroom and now it's like 1900 or over $2,200 because people moved from California and States like that to places like Arizona and they're used to paying way more so they're comfortable paying these new higher rates which then controls a society that they barely moved into but pushed the rates up almost double. Meanwhile the pay hasn't gone up except what was planned when they voted for the rise.
Thanks for the video!...my mom moved to Tucson 6 years ago, and im OVER the Boston weather and am thinking ahout possibly moving there. I had NO CLUE how insane the electricity bills are! DAMN...but rent sounds great! (Small 1 bedroom here starts at 3K)
Boston is very expensive!! How much are you seeing out there for electric bills in the summer/winter? Oh yeah you can get a LOT for $3k/mo in rent (and mortgage) down here. Are you able to work your job remotely, so as to keep your higher paying Boston job while moving out to this lower cost of living area?

When people say it is less expensive to live in Tucson I laugh unless they are moving from California. Then yeah it's less expensive then. The housing costs or rent is definitely lower than other places. Water and power are way more expensive in Tucson. Flying in and out of Tucson is way more expensive. Auto insurance is through the roof. And another hidden gem is the vehicle registration. Say in Colorado or Utah your registration is 150 bucks per year. Well it'll be around 350 in Arizona! Plus the wear on your vehicle from the poorly maintained roads. Plus weird things happen in Tucson. Hard to explain in a comment on TH-cam but something will happen to your car and you'll wind up paying for it because the other person will run or not have insurance. That's if you have a car after the incident, car theft is a big thing in Tucson. Or just people throwing rocks and smashing your windshield for no reason while you are watching a movie at a theater.
Our auto insurance dropped $900 per 6 months when we came back here from Florida. The home insurance and property taxes are lower here. Food is slightly cheaper here. Gas is pricier here, but not by much. There are no sharks or jellyfish in my pool, and the air is dryer. My clothes dry in one cycle, vs Florida summers turning it back on two or three times. All things considered, I'm glad we moved back for many reasons, and the money saved and better ability to earn allows me to visit Florida when I want without committing.
I've only been in Tucson for 2 days and my windshield already got cracked by a rock. The roads are just HORRIBLE in Tucson around the downtown area. The patchwork is incredibly bad and my suspension is getting beat to hell.
UGH I'm so sorry!!! Did it happen on i-10? I know that feeling ALL too well now having lived here for almost 6 yrs. That's UNFORTUNATELY going to be your new norm. Expect that to happen once every year. I would suggest getting all window coverage with your insurance because of the crime as well. That's what I ended up doing. And I agree, roads are NOT the best. But! at least it's not as bad as colorado springs LOL.
@@LivingTucsonArizona It was probably the I-10. I don't know if I can deal with the torn-up roads, asshole drivers, crime and filth. They should sweep the sand off the streets. WTF? I may have to settle somewhere else.
We were thinking of moving there from south dakota. The insurance company said rock chips are more of a risk. But overall car insurance is substantially cheaper than here. We have hail and all of the other weather drama.
@@Travisj9935 we get hail here as well, so please consider getting a garage, or at least a carport! We just got hail yesterday actually. Every year since I've lived here, for the last 6 years, I've seen hail and hail damage on cars. Granted Tucson is big, so some areas might not see the hail, but overall, buy a home with a garage!
It seems like they have built up a lot in that area. We are close to Catalina Hwy and just came back after 7 years. I was surprised to see how many new developments there are coming from 10 on Houghton.
You have such a great presence. We are “thinking” about leasing a place near Sabino Canyon area. Seems fair, but we live on a homestead within a state forest near the Cdn border which we built in 1984. Never had a mortgage. Never wanted one. Can’t believe the cost of everything. Too much easy money out there. So. Maybe we could contact you when we visit Tucson after Christmas. I was born and raised in Arizona and still have many friends and relatives there. You are funny and clear. Btw. We’ve been off grid since the get go. Solar. Yes. Since 1984. In the great white north.
I'm so glad the videos have been informative for you! Yes, let's meet when you visit Tucson after Christmas! I'll be here for you! (914) 318-4918. Shoot me a text and we can stay in touch for when you book flights out here. Not having a mortgage is AMAZING.
I live in Tucson for years when I lived there my Rented was 335.a month and a half my electricity was 40.00 a month I recently was back and It’s not even close to being the same I found your channel very interesting I think you did nailed right on it changed so much and the apartment are so small and expensive
Thank you for your comment! Electric being $40 a month is a DREAM. Man! Where did you move to when you moved out of Tucson? And can I ask why you moved? I think it might help the viewers watching this.
I use Trico for my electricity not TEP, which is probably why I was SHOCKED by your electric prices during the summer! My home is newer and only around 1400 sq ft, but still the difference would have me questioning TEP. You estimated anywhere from $300 to $500 a month just for electricity, yet in the six years I've lived in my home, even during the middle of summer, I've never paid more than $125 a month for electricity. During the winter it's around $75. w/s/g/g averages around $90 a month. Happy I am in Trico area! :-)
That's amazing!! I've heard pros and cons of trico being that it's a coop. I'm happy it's working out for you!! heck yeah 🤘🏽🤘🏽 That'll be great advertisement for if you ever list your home for sale!
We rent on the Eastside. Golflinks and Harrison. 3 bed 2 bath 1700 sq. Ft. Huge yard. Quiet, diverse, lgbtq friendly. We pay $1200 per month. Its really nice.
Great video, but those utility costs seem high. You mentioned winter and summer($400!!) but not the shoulder seasons when they are normally very low. Also, people don't seem to consider energy usage when buying anymore. Big homes, pools, and high ceilings dramatically increase cooling loads. I live in Catalina Foothills, in a 1500sf detached adobe style townhouse (with great views) which I own outright (all electric) and pay $64.98/mo for electricity year round. I am on the TEP Go Solar plan, which allocates power from their solar plant, and I have been at the same rate for 4 or 5 years because they don't increase it if you stay within +/- 15% usage from your original baseline. Water varies between $45-65/mo. Internet is $40 from Xfinity (promo). T-mobile cell service is $70. So my ENTIRE utility costs, including my cell service, are around $220-240/mo, year round, depending on water usage. Taxes are low at under $3K/yr for my 40 year old home. My cost of living here is almost half what it was in Portland! I also second the point made by the person about The Loop bike path, which is a huge asset and a great way to get around town without having to encounter cars and traffic. Totally agree about the high costs of eating out - better to cook at home here.
Internet is typically a great rate for the first year then they double it starting the second year. That’s why I switched to Tmobile. $65/mo electric!! Are you grandfathered into a specific plan? Curious- how long have you lived in your property? I wonder if being grandfathered into older plans has anything to do with it. I don’t know ANYONE with as low of utility bills as you have! You’ve certainly mastered it! You should make a video!! lol Well done, John!!
Would love an updated version of this talk. I’m in the first phase of looking for a place in Tuscon, but I’m at the low end of the price range. $200k is my budget. Hoping to find a condo in or very near the foothills. I’m an avid cyclist. This would be a winter residence. Looking for help from a broker that knows the cycling landscape intimately
Hey there, thanks for the comment! The only change in the video is that real estate prices have gone up. I just looked it up and right this second there is only ONE condo IN the foothills at $200k or less. There are a couple more at the base and closer to the city at less than $200k as well. One of the agents on my crew is ALSO an avid cyclist, and works in the industry. I'd love to put you in touch. If you'd like to book a call, do so here: www.calendly.com/garcedrealty/buyer
So a house is 375 thousand and you pay it for a period of 30 years essentially paying a total of 1 million 125 thousand dollars (3 times its priced value). You pay for an already insanely high priced home an additional 3 quarters of a million ($75000) and yet nobody thinks that is a fraud? When are you all gonna start protesting against these laws? How many lifetimes of slavery do you need to pay all of this?
Val, I'm WITH you one hundred percent! the amount of interest people pay is CRAZY. I totally hear you. Banks live off American debt. There are ways to pay down your mortgage in MONTHS, and AVOID paying all of that interest. I hope this helps. I've done it myself so i can personally attest to this, and I tell all of my clients this: th-cam.com/video/QUplWTohd8s/w-d-xo.html
@@LivingTucsonArizona As long as such laws exist America and our way of living will always be an authoritarian controlled type of life. We will never have a life and there will always be homeless people and chaos and inequity and abuse. The very reason there is so much crime and violence and poverty and control and shattered dreams is because of being forced to obey such laws (interest, mortgage etc) which of course have been instituted by the very people who profit from them. But this it only creates a precedent for future fraudulent abuse. We do pay after all school loans (as well) on an interest basis. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you for the video!! I am considering moving here but a little nervous as a gay person, and being alone. Can you speak to the LGBT experience here?
I moved here in 2018 as a single person, (lesbian), and I will say.... it is TOUGH out here to meet people. With the name of michael, i presume you're male - I think you'll have an easier time. the ONLY LGBT club is IBT's and it caters to men. Majority of the men that go there are between 21-30. If you're older than 30, it probably won't be your scene, in which case..... it's going to be tough. I finished swiping throughTinder within my first 30 mins of arriving. BUT, SOMEHOW I did find my WIFE through a dating app here! So hope is not lost! What are your hobbies, what do you like to do?
I live here. It's not negative, just her truth. I appreciate her perspective. I love her energy too. She's cool. I'd have a margarita with her at Casa Del Rio. :)
@@LivingTucsonArizona :) my wife is the marketing director for a very large competitor of yours...maybe the largest in Tucson. It might be sus on second thought. :) However I love your channel and will continue to follow. If statuses change, you never know. You are doing great though, and people in the industry see your work. Keep grindin. :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My intention with this video was to provide a comprehensive and honest overview, which sometimes includes discussing the less positive aspects. I aim to help my clients make informed decisions about real estate. If there were specific areas you felt were too negative, or if you have positive insights to share about the cost of Tucson, I’d love to hear them. Your input is valuable! Thank you for commenting.
Don’t move to Tucson unless you have to. If you’re coming hee PCS choose a place outside the county. Traffic is light on I-10 and makes for an easy commute. I go to the DM BX and commissary and it’s a quick drive. It also keeps you out of the dirty, filthy city known as Tucson. If you have to live in the county, try Vail otherwise it’s wiser to live on the outskirts of town. Remember this, Tucson is a very liberal city and the politics are right down there with California. Oh and stay strapped.
As far as politics are concerned, I'd much prefer Arizona or California to Florida or Missouri-at least, considering where things stand at the moment. Remember this: Jefferson City is a very Right-wing city with politics right down there with Florida.

BUT, SOMEHOW I did find my WIFE through a dating app here! So hope is not lost! What are your hobbies, what do you like to do?
The Swap meet is actually called the Tanque Verde Swap Meet--although it is not located on Tanque Verde road, but it used to be... hah.

I appreciate your info and a lot of it seems true, but it still feels kinda negative and I was in a great mood til listening to your video. 😂
I don't sugarcoat!
I live here. It's not negative, just her truth. I appreciate her perspective. I love her energy too. She's cool. I'd have a margarita with her at Casa Del Rio. :)
@@ArtFam520 Did someone say margarita? Let's do it! Thank you for this comment!
@@LivingTucsonArizona :) my wife is the marketing director for a very large competitor of yours...maybe the largest in Tucson. It might be sus on second thought. :) However I love your channel and will continue to follow. If statuses change, you never know. You are doing great though, and people in the industry see your work. Keep grindin. :)
Yea u live in a city of gasstromey
You are so negative….you know, I-10 runs both ways. Please utilize it
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My intention with this video was to provide a comprehensive and honest overview, which sometimes includes discussing the less positive aspects. I aim to help my clients make informed decisions about real estate.
If there were specific areas you felt were too negative, or if you have positive insights to share about the cost of Tucson, I’d love to hear them. Your input is valuable! Thank you for commenting.
Tucson is where old people and dreams come to die.
Don’t move to Tucson unless you have to. If you’re coming hee PCS choose a place outside the county. Traffic is light on I-10 and makes for an easy commute. I go to the DM BX and commissary and it’s a quick drive. It also keeps you out of the dirty, filthy city known as Tucson. If you have to live in the county, try Vail otherwise it’s wiser to live on the outskirts of town. Remember this, Tucson is a very liberal city and the politics are right down there with California. Oh and stay strapped.
Thank you for sharing your opinions! I love hearing them.
As far as politics are concerned, I'd much prefer Arizona or California to Florida or Missouri-at least, considering where things stand at the moment. Remember this: Jefferson City is a very Right-wing city with politics right down there with Florida.
@@thomash.schwed3662 true... FL is a little crazy right now..
