Thank you for making this video! My husband amd I retired to Sun City 2 years ago, and we just LOVE IT. We love the affordability of Sun City. We also feel very safe. It's a quiet, well maintained community. Yes, it does get quite hot in the summer, but the rest of the year, the weather is glorious.
Thank you, Robyn, for the nice compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and nice to hear you both love Sun City...it's a wonderful place! Appreciate your support of the channel.
Thank you for your service. I really appreciate it! You've earned it. I'm glad the information was helpful. Where are you currently living? Thank you for being so supportive of the channel.
I grew up in Mesa and went to elementary school high school, is Mesa Community College..... I left due to family problems and the extreme heat of the area Iive in New England now, I think about Mesa every so often If you have a great job, it's not bad but you really have to absolutely love endless Sun and heat I lived in cold States, and it just wasn't for me Shout out to all of the great teachers from Highland High High Schoo Go Hawks! Yes I am with you on the humidity
I'm with you on the heat, it's definitely hot right now...it's summertime.🥵 I lived in the South in college and really struggled with the humidity. New England is a nice place, I've told my wife that one day I would like to take her on a trip up the New England coast to Canada. I was there as a kid and thought it was really nice, love the coastline. Enjoy your time back East. Appreciate your support and thanks for your comments.
@@PHOENIXAZLIVING you're welcome, if you started in Boston and rent a car, you could go all the way to eastport Maine if you go on the coast, I've lived up here a few years and it is very nice and , the coast is just unforgettable If you go and say, mid-october you can get amazing colors and most of the tourists will be gone Coastal Maine is very busy If you go south from Boston, you can go to Martha's vineyard, see Rhode Island, I have never been down there because I don't have a car, but I have been up to coastal Maine, and it's unforgettable
The future Interstate 11 will be just west of the community on the westside of the Hassayampa River. Will the community stay on the eastside of the river? What about the rest of Douglas Ranch?
My understanding is that it will as well as the rest of Douglas Ranch. Appreciate the feedback and thank you for supporting the channel. Where are you currently living?
@@armandoavalos917 Estrella Mountain Is a nice area off the beaten path. I remember when it was first being developed back in the early nineties. I can't believe how much it's changed. I plan on doing a video on Estrella Mountain in the near future so be on the lookout. How long have you lived there? Thank you for your comment and greatly appreciate your support of the channel.
Yea, it’s hot so walk in it everyday. Make sure you have plenty of water and covering on your head. But get used to walking in it. I’m 63 and I’ve been walking in it almost everyday for over 20 years. So it’s hot, you’ll really appreciate an air conditioned home when you arrive home. Really bad public transport system, it’s a cultural wasteland, but it has its compensations like nature. Hiking, climbing and biking are all great.
People moving out there better hope they don’t need to drive into Phoenix for work or anything else for that matter. The i10 west of Phoenix is already the worst congested freeway in the Phoenix metro area. This community is farther out and will most likely add to that traffic. Expect 1.5 hour drive into downtown Phoenix.
Unfortunately, that comes with the territory. When you have a great weather and thousands of people moving here annually the need for housing dramatically increases. With so many businesses moving here it's hard to stop the growth and expansion into our desertscape. Thank you for supporting the channel and appreciate your comments.
Being a native of Tampa, I rather take the hot weather in the west than Florida. The humidity is crazy and uncomfortable and you got mosquitos and bugs that love that. I enjoy the west when it spring and summer better
Thank you for your comments, appreciate the feedback! The humidity is tough. As a native Phoenician who's used to the dry climate, I lived in New Orleans while going to college. The humidity down there was really tough for me and quite an adjustment. The bugs were everywhere. I'll take the heat and dryness over the humidity any day. Thanks again for your support. Are you currently living in Tampa? Have you visited the Phoenix area?
That's great to hear! Love the Seattle area and really enjoyed Whidbey Island. My brother-in-law lives in Issaquah. I love our wildlife and critters, especially the Javelinas. Thank you for your support of the channel and really appreciate your feedback.
Thank you for your comments, appreciate the feedback. Chandler is a wonderful place to live and offers so much. Have always appreciated the SE valley. Over the years we have built a lot of homes in Chandler. That area has grown so much. Do you live there now?
Thanks, Ray for your feedback. No doubt home prices are going up. With great weather year-round and major businesses coming to the valley, and with low inventory it has caused an increase in home prices. There are areas around the valley where it is more affordable, comparatively speaking. Where do you currently live?
Great question, thank you for your comment...depending on where the property is located in Rio Verde Foothills oftentimes will give you an idea if a well can be installed. There are certain areas where the aquafers run beneath the properties where wells could be installed. If not sure, then well testing(drilling) can be done to see if a well is available on the property. Since I have sold a few homes out there, I have a pretty good idea of what area is more receptive to wells than other areas. Are you drawn to Rio Verde? Where are you currently living? Thank you for your support of the channel.
A bad hot day in Phoenix is 120 degrees with 50 plus percent humidity. Keep in mind the dry heat is Totally different than humidity heat. Both of them you will sweat. However when you have dry hot skin it's way different than wet humid skin.
Thank you for your comments, Paul! You're right about the types of heat. I was filming videos last summer outside in the heat especially in July when we set a record for that month when everyday was 110+, but fortunately the humidity averaged around 15-20%, I know, I checked it daily. I'm from Phoenix so I'm used to the dry heat, but I went to school in New Orleans during college and the humidity was brutal. I do have an appreciation for the dryer climate but a little bit of humidity can be ok, just not extreme. Thank you for your support, really appreciate it!
Thank you for being so honest. There were tons of reviews but nailed it for people can take an informed decision. As some one living here for a year I am loving here despite of some minor negative aspects. Thank you!
@@PHOENIXAZLIVING : I live in the Wichita Ks area but I’ve wanted to live in AZ since 1983. There’s always been this reason or that reason why I couldn’t move down there. I’m now 62 and full retirement age is just five more years. If I live that long, I’ll move down there. Btw, your video here is very pleasant and very watchable! Good job!👏👏👏🇺🇸
@@aridian7787 Sounds like you're destined to move to Phoenix, Aridian! Keep the faith, five years is right around the corner, you'll be here before you know it. Love your state, have business partners in Lawrence. Always enjoy the drive from KC to Lawrence. Thank you for your kind words. Appreciate your support of the channel.
That's great to hear! What is it about the Phoenix area that you enjoy? When are you planning on moving back? Where do you currently live? Thank you for your comments and appreciate your support. When you're ready to make the move, please reach out would love to help you.
Yeah im planning around september. Im in MN as of now. im sick of the snow lol, ive lived in MN for all of my life and ive always enjoyed the weather down there! There’s never a dull moment😁
@@aprayz5030 Sounds good! You live in a beautiful state, but understand it can get extreme cold in the winter. I'm here to help when the time comes. I'll be in touch!!
Thank you Fern! Appreciate your feedback. DC Ranch is very nice and it's one of the most popular masterplans in North Scottsdale. It has some beautiful homes, especially the Silverleaf community. Where are you currently living?
Definitely! A client bought just down the street when I first saw it. I was quite surprised. Very friendly and would always come over to the fence for some scratches. The also had a camel. When living in the county there is more flexibility with type of animals you can have. Thank you for your comment, appreciate the feedback! Where do you currently live?
@@PHOENIXAZLIVING we live in the high desert of Santa Fe, NM, snow on the ground here. It’s nice to watch and see the different areas of Phoenix, you do a nice presentation that’s very informative as well
What about Dr's, Clinics, Hospitals cost of drugs ?? Is there a Kaiser Premenety hospital there or close. Is there a retirement apartments ,, independent living as well as assisted living places. House rentals 3 bedr. 2 baths. price range. ;??😢😅😮
@@audraweber1945 If you are looking for a 3/2 house rental, they start around $1,800/mo. for about 1,500-1800 sq. ft. Are you interested in pricing on anything else that I can research for you? I hope this helps! Thanks again.
Robert, it does create a challenge. After all, we do live in the desert and water issues are always a concern here. As a native Phoenician, fortunately we've always had plenty of water. Where do you currently live? Thank you for your comment and appreciate your support of the channel.
We are 55+ and want to live in that kind of community. We are very active in pickle ball. We are planning to stay in a friends home month of July to see how we handle the extreme heat
Thank you Nancy for your comments. Glendale has a lot to offer and they have a number of pickle ball facilities around town. If you would be looking for a 55+ community to live in there are several to choose from, including the famous Sun City (I did a video on Sun City on the channel), which is where it all started. Several of the newer masterplan communities have 55+ neighborhoods as well. With State Farm stadium built in Glendale, there is so much entertainment around the Westgate Entertainment District. Coming down in July will be an eye opener, but as a native Phoenician I have grown up dealing with the heat, especially my younger days working construction. It is hot, the humidity is very low that time of year and frankly, you will be inside most of the time in A/C. If you want to play pickle ball you do it early in the morning or late afternoon, away from the heat of day. Most of the time you will be transitioning throughout the day in and out of the heat for short periods of time. A/C is all around. 😀Hopefully, you can deal with it because the winters are phenomenal. The suns shines most of the year here, over 300 days. When you're down here and if you would like to meet up, I would enjoy meeting you two and show you around or possibly meet for coffee...just let me know. Thanks again for your support of the channel. We are you currently living?
I was born and raised in Buckeye, Left there about 40 years ago. Can't believer the changes sinceI left. I saw a comment from a guy that said he had been stationed at Luke AFB. I also ended up stationed at Luke for my last 18 months in service. Just lived at my old homestead in Buckeye.
Flaco, thank you for your service, love our military. I appreciate your comments and thank you for supporting the channel. Buckeye is a wonderful place to live. It's a little removed from the nightlife and things to do there, but lots of good things are happening. Where are you living now?
I always hop on RU-vid looking for Teravalis updates. Not much out there yet, so this was greatly appreciated. Can’t wait to see how this starts shaping up.
@@donjuan914 No worries! Glad to know that you're considering Arizona. I've actually done videos on those communities you've mentioned except for Cadence. The west valley definitely gets you closer to California and Vegas. Thank you for your continued support.
Thank you for your comment, Ross! You're right, this will take many years to develop. I'm excited to see it when it opens. Appreciate your support. Enjoy your holidays!
I did one on Power Ranch about 6 months ago. If you look on the channel it's titled "Affordable Housing Power Ranch". I show you around Power Ranch. Is that a community that you are interested in?
@@user-tb4hr2ry3u That's great, Ross! I hope you find the video helpful. Are you living in town now or will you be moving to the valley? If there's something in particular about Power Ranch that you would like me to cover, let me know. I'm always looking for good suggestions from our viewers. Thanks again for watching.
I have lived in Fountain Hills for eleven years, and have worked for the school district for five years. What can I say about this town? Before that I lived in Waukee, Iowa. Where absolutely no one looked forward to the winter time. But I digress. Before I go further I have to explain Fountain Hills relative to my personal way of life. Summarizing my entire perspective could fill a notebook, but.... I have never had a driver's license, I walk everywhere in town, so the summer is often hard on my body. But in all seriousness I do enjoy what this town has to offer. The Art Festival and 4th of July Festival are always a big part of my year. My life somewhat revolves around the calendar, which means, among other things, holidays. It helps that this town's Independence Day celebration is always huge. Although the traffic afterwards, in the darkness of night, makes walking the three miles home difficult. Either side of the street I live on comes right before large hills to walk up. Not easy. Especially at the height of the summertime. And as far as I can tell they don't have the Halloween Festival anymore. I really miss that. Speaking of traffic, that always sticks out to me. Crossing the street is often a hassle and I've come close to getting run over a handful of times out here. I have seen swerving, I have seen tailgating, and then there's running red lights. They do not drive right out here. Which makes me dread having to cross the street. And walking home at night always brings the Javelina hazard to mind. I don't see them often, but when I do it's always at night. Real estate prices are insane. To this day I still live with my parents because, despite have a state pension job in a small town with few employment opportunities, the rent for most of the places I've viewed would almost equal what I earn every month. As much as I'd like to live on my own, I would struggle to buy groceries much less live my complicated way of life. My way of doing things is an expensive one. I am an avid attender of Phoenix Fan Fusion (Formerly known as Phoenix Comic Con) and Tucson Comic Con. And my hotel stays during those events aren't cheap either. And I can't talk about my life in Fountain Hills without bringing this next part up. Random people I don't know often say weird stuff to me. Coincidentally, it's almost always at Burger King. One person walked passed me recently and told me he thought I was a robot, then there's the idiot who kept asking if I go to school in town. Why would he think I go to school?? But the award for lowest social skills goes to the guy who turned to face me and my friend....And just said "Every penis has a brain.". All these instances happened at Burger King. Let me think. I've cluttered this comment enough. But if I've got one last thing to add, In conclusion I enjoy my life here. Most of my friends don't live in Fountain Hills anymore so these days I mostly keep to myself, which is perfectly fine. But I've come to know that my way of seeing things is different than that of most people. Big City, small town, stuff going on, none of that means anything to me. If I can live the way I want and enjoy everything I do every year, that alone is good enough for me.
Thanks for the heads up and sorry to hear that it was a bothersome to you. Hopefully, you got through it and the content was helpful. I've made changes in more recent months so check out some of the other videos on my channel and see if it's more helpful. Thank you for your comments and I appreciate your support of the channel. Where are you living now?
I'm attempting to watch this in the morning as I drink my coffee and honestly I'm just having to take a break because of that incredibly annoying background music. Why do people that make these videos insist on choosing some annoying background music. It is so unnecessary🫤
Ye right! What’s with that music? Horrible, just horrible! It’s kinda the background music I’d imagine would be playing at a retirement home bingo hall.
