As a PHX native, i'd like to add a few things: 1. 120 is only on the worst of the worst days. Like, once every 2-3 years. Monsoon rains actually lower the temperatures quite a bit. With that said, just because it's a dry heat does not mean it is not oppressive. Getting into a car that has been sitting outside in the summer can be a memorable experience for an outsider. Yet somehow it's all worth it when you can crack a beer on your porch in January :) 2. According to official crime statistics, Phoenix is right around the national average, and I'd tend to agree with that. My friend from Cali says he feels way safer here than LA. Yes there are some bad neighborhoods like every city. But NOTHING like Baltimore, Cleveland, Memphis, or inner-city Chicago (no disrespect). Not even close! 3. People are reasonably friendly, but pretty business-like about their interactions. Friendlier than the east coast, but that's not saying much haha. I kinda like it though. They're not overbearing, and by that I mean you don't have to share your life story with everyone you meet. Remember: Phoenix is a BIG city. Many people are surprised at how big it is. 4. Cost of living, while more than it used to be, is quite reasonable, especially compared to cities like Seattle, Denver, or anywhere in California. But utilities in the summer are a doozy. Watch out. 5. If you want a younger, more liberal, artsy vibe, I recommend Tempe. College town, plenty to do, lots of bars. Somewhat more expensive though. I personally think ASU is one of the most underrated schools in the country. Won some awards recently. Hope this helps. I'd be happy to answer any other questions.

@flatulenceone 7 лет назад

Spot on. One other thing about the weather and utilities is that, in parts of the spring and fall, folks can opt for evaporative cooling, if they wish to lower electricity bills, somewhat (and are willing to go through the trouble of keeping a swamp cooler properly maintained) , though real air conditioning is necessary in late spring and most of the monsoonal periods. Oh, and it can get kinda humid, some times, during monsoon, but nothing like the gulf coast or deep south.

@gmichaelz 7 лет назад

Maitland Newton does a reasonable solar setup cut into the electric bill at all? also, I live in Taipei now and drive a motorcycle everywhere. Is it do-able in Phoenix?

@ibrahimmashni9513 7 лет назад

Maitland Newton where you suggest living for under 900 a month..1 bedroom you seem to be smart and in tune with Phoenix..also please...what are bills like there such as cable...a.c.....water...etc

@maitlandnewton3841 7 лет назад

The politics with the solar utility mean that you won't save as much as you used to with a solar setup. As far as motorcycles go I have friends who do it but it's brutal in summer

@pipemannow 8 лет назад

Great video! and yeah I have lived in the Valley for 24 years now and the HOT season is something to get used to. And yeah I live in Tempe, and traffic at peak hours is rough. As far as friendliness, I have had a different experience. But I grew up in a big city, Houston, Texas, so some people are hard to approach. We are coming into the HOT season, which makes cigar and pipe smoking outside a real challenge. But hey, you don't have to shovel sunshine, ha. Cheers! Chris

@dxtorrey 8 лет назад

I'm sitting on my deck in Glen Burnie Maryland enjoying a cigar break and watching RU-vid videos. I was born and raised in Phoenix and enjoyed your video. I left Arizona for 40 years ago for college in Ohio. I moved to Maryland for an engineering job. the big change for me was living in a place that had four seasons. I do not miss the heat of Phoenix but I do like to visit in the winter and spring. the desert feels like an old friend and I miss the smells of Mesquite and creosote bush. the one thing that always surprises me when I visit Phoenix is how much bigger the city area is becoming. there used to be a lot of space between the different cities like Tempe and Mesa, and Chandler was a long drive through the desert to get there. I agree about the nice cigar lounges and I do find hello cigar smokers to be very friendly there. it's a bit ironic that I was 18 years old when I first experienced snow. now I'm contemplating getting a snow blower cuz I hate shoveling the white s***, I know that Michigan gets a lot more snow than Maryland so you know what I'm talking about. you can keep the Heat and the traffic and I will enjoy my four seasons.

@MakemoneywithDanny 8 лет назад

I am originally from Arizona. A very belated"Welcome". I have lived here all my life. I still get sick of the traffic and heat. I apologize for people not being so friendly. I have kinda noticed that over the years.I have never lived anywhere else. I try to be friendly. In larger groups of people,that can be challenging. Hope you continue to enjoy Arizona.

@AM2PMReviews 8 лет назад

Thanks for watching and commenting and welcoming! Yeah, again its not everyone but some are not as friendly.

@samanthaleblanc8390 7 лет назад

I am seriously considering moving down to Phoenix and although I have family that inform me of what it was like transitioning from CT to AZ, and I have been there on vacation, so got a nice feel for it; this video definitely gets me very hopeful for a move!

@cocaa6761 7 лет назад

hi all, I am planning to move to Phoenix for a long while. being a first time mover, I thought this was a good place (I still do) and I wouldn't mind the heat. I am from Alaska which gets 70°F during summer (southwest Alaska) which is not that hot for me and about mid 50s to 60s at night time. winters in Alaska can get pretty cold, like -40° cold with a wind chill of -55°. I just want to experience living outside of Alaska. I've visited there for the first time a couple weeks ago and I just love it there. thanks for sharing this video.

@jeand7499 7 лет назад

Thank you for the advice! I'm moving to Tucson in October 2017 from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I have a couple friends and some family living there so it should help me from feeling too out of place. I actually love the snow and will miss it, but I won't miss the seemingly endless grey days.

@AM2PMReviews 7 лет назад

@az5654 7 лет назад

All great points! I especially like your mention of how friendly people are (or are not). I have lived in the Phoenix-metro area since 1975. People were not always as reserved as they are now. I think part of the problem is because so many of us are from somewhere else. There are very few Arizona natives. So, as you mentioned when you brought up the wacky drivers and the habits they bring from somewhere else, the same applies to their culture and their levels of sociability. To further emphasize the point; I lived in a really nice neighborhood for two years. One of my immediate neighbors never welcomed me and my family to the neighborhood. Rarely did I ever see them. While the neighbor on my other side would see me outside working on the yard or on my car in the garage and take a moment just to walk over and chit chat. As you said, some people are just content to stay to themselves. Surprisingly though, I had to ask my “reserved” neighbor for a favor and he was more than helpful! Go figure. This phenomenon becomes immediately apparent when you travel anywhere else. You can even stop someone on the street or subway in New York City for directions and get a more welcoming response than out here! Living in Gilbert for most of my adult life, with my job in Phoenix (near the airport), it would take me the better part of an hour to get there. I had to be there at 7:00 AM. So that meant getting up at 5:00 AM to get ready and begin my commute. It was always to be expected that there were going to be accidents on the way to work and back home again. As a result, it was always a crap shoot how long your commutes would take. The bottom line? The drivers out here suck! Rain out here paralyzes people behind the wheel! They’re just not used to driving in such “adverse” conditions being as there are over 300 days of sunshine here per year.

I'm planning a move in May. One again thanks for the video.

@tmg06d 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious about adjusting to the dryness. I'm interest in moving from Florida to PHX. I have no problem with 100+ temps but the dryness seems to destroy my lips and other sensitive areas. How long did it take to adjust to that? Also, people complaining about the heat tend to be from northern states who arent used to oppressive heat. People coming from warm climates should be ok...

@rockeytheguru 7 лет назад

Thanks for the informative and non-biased (I think) post. : ) I might be moving there for work in a few weeks. This video came up for my "pros and cons Arizona" search. And so far,,, as someone who's literally allergic to the sun and a Bernie supporter, can't say I am excited. hah... Eh, I'm sure it'll be an experience. Again, thanks for the clip, it was helpful.

@jazzydragon4498 7 лет назад

Well, it does snow up in Flagstaff. Usually during the fall or winter. I've also seen snow on top of Mt. Lemon near Tucson. They have ski slopes up there.

@generodriguez2905 6 лет назад

Yeah people think it's just low desert in this state you can go from about 72ft elevation to over 12,600ft elevation

@monicaholtzhauer6899 6 лет назад

It all depends where you're moving here from .... I came from Connecticut, New York and Western New York. I think Phoenix is incredibly friendly and open-minded and spacious. I also think the roads are so smooth and new and traffic moves fast. People drive fast enough but not crazy like the east coast. This is a nice middle ground.

@MB_86 6 лет назад

I'm considering moving from Wisconsin.. great video.. I used to live be stationed in San Diego, I miss living on the west coast

@shaun4113 7 лет назад

Thanks for posting! I moved here from Chicago 3 years ago. I'm enjoying it very much. My biggest concern are the drivers. They're horrible! What's the rush! lol. Other than that, not many complaints. The cost of living, job market and weather is great. I'll take 3 months of extreme heat over winter any day of the week. I find the people here to be very friendly for the most part - big difference compared to Illinois.

@TheReydoro 8 лет назад

The thing about Phoenix is that everyone is from somewhere else so yeah that is the reason why you dont have that old neighborhood feeling where you know everyone. Also there was what I like to call the Big Shuffle. During the recession alot of people lost their homes followed by a period where houses were ridiculously cheap. This caused people to move outside of their normal enviroment haha. Then we had a tsunami of Californians who could sell their old houses and could buy two here and still kept some walking around money. So even for us who have lived here most of our lives we dont know who lives three houses down the street anymore. I hate summers, its hot, plain and simple. Three months of the year its unbearable outside but the rest of the year is perfect weather or lack there of. clear blue skies every day.

@HotLikeFire92 8 лет назад

It's crazy because the recession really messed things up. About 200,000 people fled AZ so i think that's a big part of why we don't see lots of natives here anymore. AZ got hit hard.

@ChezDebz 7 лет назад

Rey sosa that makes a lot of sense now. thanks.

@az5654 7 лет назад

I always thought the heat was "on" for three months too. But it seems to always kick on in June and lasts well into September, with early October sometimes having days in the 90's.

@HotLikeFire92 7 лет назад

Donald Trump Next year they say Phoenix is projected to be the number one housing market in the country. Downtown continues to boom. Many apartment/condos are being built and quite a few are just completed. Tech companies keep flocking over here especially in downtown. Lots of development throughout the city. Especially Dtphx.

@DJR5280 7 лет назад

HotLikeFire92 Really because I don't see a lot of development at all downtown. Especially compared to booming cities like Denver, Austin or Seattle.

@tankloggins4027 6 лет назад

OMG thanks so much you had the most resourceful video. I live in Wisconsin and I am looking to move to Arizona. a question I have for you is financially what do you feel the difference is as far as wage compensation there and Arizona opposed to the Midwest. also what would you suggest is a good Nest Egg for the move. I would like to be prepared because I have children so I would like to know ballpark what do you feel would be a good starting point

@AM2PMReviews 6 лет назад

tank loggins I guess it depends on what you do and what your company pays for and where you live and what your needs are. Your average rent or home is 1,000 a month. So if you make 45,000 a year with a child or two it might not be too bad.

@AM2PMReviews 5 лет назад

Hey Louis. Welcome to AZ. I am not familiar with the legal market. I do know that for most people, the price of living is better than the mid-west. I think you might make a little less money but your expenses will also be significantly lower. I am not sure though. I bet there are websites to compare national averages.

@sounddude177 8 лет назад

I've lived in AZ for 35 years. Based on the view from your car I'm guessing you live on the west side - Avondale perhaps? I10 sucks for traffic. I'm in Chandler and avoid the traffic by going to work at 5am and leave at 2pm. You nailed it on the crappy drivers - they're all from somewhere else. Twice as bad during snowbird season. Yeah nice gun laws. That's my other big hobby. Personally I love the heat. Tucson is a great town, I lived there 5 years. People are friendlier and a touch more cowboy. More work and better pay here in the valley though. Lots of good micro breweries here too. Not as good as SD or Portland, but not bad. Great places to escape the heat in the mountains - camping, fishing, hiking etc. Just watch the cigar so you don't burn it down. Sounds like you're settling in - welcome to AZ! I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Kids never played outside because it's just too hot. I don't want to live somewhere that i have to spend the majority of my time inside because it's so hot. i don't know that I want to move there now. Thank you for the info. It was very helpful!

This is a really good description of what it is like to live in Phoenix. Very real. I lived in Phoenix for several years in the early 80's when living there was almost perfect. I travel there periodically now to visit friends. It was a large enough city at that time but not the megalopolis it is today. Today It is crowded and traffic is horrendous. The summer heat is oppressive but over time you will get used to it. Compared to other western large cities housing is a better value in Phoenix though. And yes, I agree, Tucson, a city I have also lived in, is an awesome option if you want less of a rat race environment. I now live in Denver where housing costs have become outrageous, but the quality of life here is amazing. The most noticeable difference between AZ and CO for me was how much friendlier people in CO are. Anyone can move to Denver and fit right in. Apart from the conservative politics in AZ (Tucson is less republican), geographically it really is a beautiful state.. I love all the southwest states and we are all lucky to live in such a diverse country... there are 50 awesome choices...

Moving to Phoenix area in two months... all I can think is SCORPIONS?! I read up some tricks about sealing the house and pest sprays but I'm wondering how common they really are in your home? And should I be worried about them stinging my dog?

@AM2PMReviews 7 лет назад

i have cats and a small dog and they have never been stung but i have seen a scorpion in my kitchen light once that is connected to the ceiling. I have also seen a small one outside last week but i thought the same thing. I thought I would see them everywhere but they are very rare in my area. It all depends on your area. I know my friend had a nest in his garage. i know they are more popular by the mountains. I guess your pets could die but i would just take mine to the vet.

@redefv 6 лет назад

Traffic is on par with the metro Detroit area. The only difference is the roads in Michigan are screwed up with pot holes and in Phoenix the concrete roads are very smooth. You also never have to shovel heat.

I'm thinking about moving to AZ I just don't know what would be a great area to go. I also worry about how I'm going to get all my stuff from Maryland to AZ without paying a bunch of money. when it comes to tags, is it expensive?

Lots of motorcycles down in Arizona? Hoping for a big sport bike scene, wasn't sure if it was too hot to even ride

@AM2PMReviews 8 лет назад

It's great state for bikes! Westgate Entertainment district is by me and has bike night Thursday night with a ton of bikes! You can ride year round!

@dennisvalencia902 8 лет назад

What area of Phoenix do you suggest moving to? I been thinking of moving there for a while now

@AM2PMReviews 8 лет назад

Depends what you want. The west valley where I live is cheap but far away from a lot of things. Chandler and Gilbert and Mesa and Tempe are nice and Scottsdale is super nice but too expensive. Also, cave creek you will like.

@nwguy9816 7 лет назад

I am moving to the PHX area next year. I won't have a car and the city is so spread out, which is why I'm considering living in Tempe at first. Thanks for the info.

@ttstang43 7 лет назад

i used to live in phoenix.. avondale portion of the city.. i absolutely loved it.. its hot... but dry heat is so nice imo.. but definitely know about traffic.. 1 to 2 hrs is not uncommon.. side streets can be better but depends on where your at.. at that time.. just a huge city.. lots and lots of people.. i agree cost of living all depends on where you reside.. its not expensive but it definitely isnt cheap in areas.. but hey.. 1.5 2 hours to the north you get 20 degrees difference about and snow in the winter.. then 4 to 6 hour drive to places in california and the ocean.. that part of it i loved.. plan to move back ... cant wait.. im sure the economy is a lot better now then what it was back about 5 years.. i went uti in 2010 to 2012 and well no experience to speak of for what i went to school for which makes a difference in any state of course.. but for a grad of uti.. getting away from the state is best for pay wise..

@blazin8190 8 лет назад

Hey man, I'm moving to the Phoenix area at the end of July...coming from Battle Creek, MI. I'm looking for apartments and a job (I'm going to be going to school at UTI)...any suggestions of where to live or work?

avondale is where a lot of UTI people live. Its nice and cheap. Work: I have no idea.

@BeastyBoyGotFire 8 лет назад

Serious question, I plan on moving to Phoenix in about a year and was wondering what the cost of living is like. Where I'm from $30k wouldn't be enough to support a balanced life style due to housing costs and such. Do you think a job paying $30k a year would be enough to live in Phoenix?

@AM2PMReviews 8 лет назад

good question. yes I think the price of living is affordable. It does depend on where you live, but you can get a nice apartment for 800 and groceries are like midwest prices so pretty low. You would have a hard time supporting a family but as a single guy, you will be fine!

@BeastyBoyGotFire 8 лет назад

***** Hey thank you for the rapid response! I found your video very informative. Thanks once again and best of luck!

@AM2PMReviews 8 лет назад

I think I will make another video soon of the cool stuff locals do!

@BeastyBoyGotFire 8 лет назад

***** YES! That would be awesome to see. I've been looking for something like that on youtube but sadly no one has uploaded anything like that yet

@notsosilentmajority1 8 лет назад

30K is good out here as long as you don't have children. Keep in mind that certain things are about the same everywhere.........new cars, car insurance. Automobile registration is extremely high here. A new vehicle can easily cost you $1,000 per year - YES one thousand a year for registration. A used car still will cost you a few hundred per year. That's the one expense that shocked me. I'm from the east coast so I don't think the traffic is bad. The one thing is if there is ANY rain, the natives can't drive and there are accidents all over. I'm serious. The winters are fantastic but the summers totally suck. I mean really suck. You can't feel the heat when you hear people talk about it....the summers are HOT. Don't think you will go out early in the morning or late at night and still be good outdoors. I thought that same thing. NAH-ah. Too hot and I like the heat. Other than the heat and car registration it's nice out here and I find the people to be very friendly everywhere I go. Good luck.

@AnnaThompson24 7 лет назад

I'm from Arkansas, moved to Chicago. The way you describe the unfriendliness of the Phoenix people is how I feel about the people in Chicago.... planning on moving to Phoenix soon so hopefully it's not as bad as Chicago. Arkansas has friendly nice people and it's very safe- you should go visit Eureka, Springs AR or Fayetteville, AR if you want that friendly vibe you got in Michigan. Much love!

@AM2PMReviews 7 лет назад

thank you for watching! Phoenix gets better it just depends on the area i guess. Arkansas is great!

@combinationpizzahutandtaco3782 6 лет назад

Coming from an Arizonan, people are friendly just not to new comers. We don’t like people moving here, the state is being over stressed. Soon we won’t have water. The only way to become “one of us” is to not change our ways. We are a conservative old school state, but that is quickly being changed. Sorry to be harsh but that is the truth

@itsmejohnson5931 7 лет назад

Hey, can you make another video too... speaking more about universities, more about restaurants and summer temperatures? Is traffic really that bad? I love Phoenix! How is the outdoor scene there..do rocks and red hot mountains really make a nice outdoor spot?

@moseleyfamilyadventures4298 7 лет назад

It's one of the worst school districts in the country. Most people there homeschool. Lots of homeschool groups as a result. Arizona is way behind like number 48 for education and seriously lacking in the schools.

Good video and thanks for posting...I have been considering moving to the Phoenix area for some time now..I currently live in Ft. Lauderdale florida and the cost of living here is insane..Studio apartment runs around $1,300 a month...Luckly i don't pay that much but it would be nice to be able to have some money left over at the end of the month..I am originally from Tennessee but lived in florida for 26 years so i understand the unfriendliness you speak of..Got a lot of rude people down here so i am used to dealing with that...Want to find some full time work as working where i do its really hard to find full time employment..Guess i'll have to fly out there for a few days and see if its for me..Thanks for the advice.

@gregh7457 8 лет назад

One thing that really struck me about phx was all the angry people. That heat really cooks some people's brains. It's so hot in the summer, people wash their cars INSIDE their garage to keep the water from drying on the car and spotting. What drove me nuts was all the leaf blowers and the people mowing their lawns a 5am to avoid the heat. AND don't even get me started on the barking dogs. Phx is the doggiest city i've ever seen. A big loud barking dog in every back yard. If you like your peace and quiet, move to a gated community that actually enforces rules about barking dogs. Google "barking dogs poisioned phoenix" Its a real eye-opener. If you like speeding up to red lights and putting on your brakes fast you'll like it in phx. They hate having slower cars getting in front of them and slowing them down. What do you do when the electricty goes out or you a/c motor blows out because of a voltage spike from a monsoon thunderstorm and it's 100 degrees INSIDE the house? Better have a backup plan!

Improvised a/c a igloo ice chest with a hole cut out big enough to fit a small fan in the lid and blocks of ice inside with a vent in the side directing the air at you lasts about 3 to 4 hours i would think. As a young kid 6 of us traveled in a vw bug to visit relatives here. We used a device like that in the sixties just a tray to hold the ice and the fan blew cooled air enough so we didn't roast as much. Poor mans a/c if you will.

@davidt1789 7 лет назад

I am driving to Arizona next week - moving without any particular place in mind, no job opportunity, no idea about a safe place to rent an apartment. Moving because I can't find a job in Michigan. It is been over 9 months. I am scared, but I have to do what I have to do. No friends, family. I want to start a new life. Any suggestions? I hope to find a job in a quieter area than Phoenix, maybe a little cooler too. Please suggest.

@AM2PMReviews 7 лет назад

there are plenty of great places to live in the east valley and west valley. For cooler places i would suggest northern phoenix as its slightly cooler but it cost more.

Thanks for the video. I am really trying to debate on whether to move here or not. It is pretty warm. I have family out here, plus my younger sister.. But debating on here or Colorado. I don't like being cold...ever, but I know I can deal with it. Thing is, I don't know that I want to deal with it. I keep thinking about the Arizona sunset, granted the heat is terrible, but in the end....the Arizona sunset is amazing. I took a spontaneous trip down there one year, best experience, but I felt good with Arizona. I have lived in Arizona, didn't like the cold, but people are friendly, education is good here, spendy...it does have anything and everything. So... pros and cons are hard.

Great video. Everything you say is spot on. We moved to Phoenix from Ohio and lived there for 10 years. It was awful. Traffic, nasty people, crime and the heat drove us back to Ohio. You're correct, people here in the Midwest are far more friendly. We know everyone here in our neighborhood since we moved back to Ohio. In Phoenix we lived in the same house for 10 years and didn't know any of our neighbors. The nicest people in Az are FROM Az. or are Mexican. On the other hand, after being back for four years i haven't been able to find a full time job with benefits.

When I lived in Las Vegas which has similar weather to Phoenix AZ. 110 F and 5% humidity was awesome! Its hot but not dripping wet. Winter 60f was cold in Vegas. 60f in PA is hot in the winter. It snowed on time in Vegas 3 inches and the city nearly shutdown. Where as in PA its normal everyday life. I love the southwest want to move back so bad! Moved back to PA during the Great Recession.

@maitlandnewton3841 7 лет назад

Arizona has a partially deserved reputation as being very conservative, but it's more libertarian "live-and-let-live" than anything else. If you're sick of the cold and the traffic it might just be the right place for you. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

I am going to visit Phoenix for a job interview at the University of Arizona Medical School very soon, and I have heard that it is a nice city to live, and not so expensive. I simply love summer and sun for 365 days a year. Here in Florida we have also a lots of sun, but it is so humid, and a lot of rains which I do not like. One thing that I would like to know is whether the people are friendly in Phoenix, and whether it is worth of moving from Florida to Arizona. Thank you for your help.

Please help me thank you

@AM2PMReviews 8 лет назад

i guess it all depends on where you want to live. But the price of living is very affordable here! Phoenix is HUGE so start thinking about what kind of job you would like because there seems to be a good market for jobs now. I like the East Valley (Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe) but live in the west valley (Avondale) which is probably cheaper and still great for families.
