SELLING OUR DREAM HOME IN ARIZONA AND MOVING TO...
We moved to Star, Idaho before everyone else does! • MOVING TO STAR IDAHO S...
I've been in Arizona for 8 glorious years but the time has come to load up the family and the truck and move to another state. Having a baby during the during the covid-19 outbreak has been quite difficult and the 116 degree heat doesn't help the situation. We are leaving family and friends and our dream home behind so this has been an emotional decision to say the least. We are very excited for our next chapter though as we look towards a place with 4 seasons, where you can snowboard in the winter, wakeboard in the summer and mountain bike most of the year. A place where the beer flows like wine (j'k, dumb & dumber reference). We are moving to Boise, ID! The market is booming up there and we're hoping to get in before the rest of the west does! I look forward to future adventures and many more videos up in the potato state!

What's up everyone!? So stoked to have you here at the Active Dad community! My name is Jimmy and I have an amazing wife named Meg. We live in Arizona with our son, Brady, that was born in January of 2020. He such a sweet, happy boy and has learned a lot already. We got him a helmet to fix plagiocephaly around 5-1/2 helmets so be sure to follow along with his progress! My wife and I are both very active people who love camping, hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, wakeboarding and many others. Probably the thing that I'm most excited about with being a parent, is teaching my kids about all the fun activities there are to do in this world that I love.
We post multiple videos a week and would love to have you follow along on our journey!

Very seldom does it get 120° the highest temperatures will be in June and first part of July with dryheat. With the monsoon season July through August the temperatures drop but the humidity rises. I’ve been here since 1982 in the southern desert and worked outside most of my career as a mobile mechanic but you learn to structure your day to do your outside work in the morning hours, cause at 6:00am the temperature can be 90° in June. I don’t know why this guy’s wife doesn’t want to be here when she’s not working outside the home. We raised four kids in Arizona and three of them are still here with their own families.

Did you also know that in 2020, Phoenix saw a record number of days over 100, 110 AND 115 and that weather experts predict that it could hit over 130 degrees regularly in Phoenix in the second half of the century?

@@ActiveDad you seem to be trying to defend your personal decision to move to a location you didn't even visit. Yes, starting out in a new location is exciting when you've decided to hate where you've been living. People live all over the place, so because of personal, business or family (etc.) reasons people live where they live. Many people live in a town, state, region that they don't like but got stuck because of family, job or lack of funds and so on. Hana Vesely liked their decision to move to AZ. I live in a suburb of Chicago and I know what Hana is talking about. AZ is my first pick if I get to finally move from this very low rated state.

I moved from Kentucky to Oro Valley 3yrs ago, do not regret it at all. Kentucky is pretty only 6mos out of the year, that's just the look not the weather. Let me explain, from October to late April it's brown and dead looking because the plants go dormant from the cold. The other 6mos are green and pretty, but it rains at least 3 to 4 days a week, literally twice as much a year as Seattle lol. The ground so wet it's like walking on a sponge. The winters can be brutal, -20 degrees windchills, the Summers can be 115 to 120 with the heat index. So I'm fine with the heat which is not as bad as Kentucky to me. You can't get away from the humidity even in the shade back east. Here in Southern Az the weather is awesome almost the whole year, plus there are 9000ft mountains next to us to see snow, and come back down to 70 when you get tired of it. To each his own.

I also wanted to moved out of Phoenix because of that unfair heat weather. And not only that, I also hate Phoenix because the neighborhoods. Especially Maryvale. The reason why Maryvale may suck is the neighbors. They stare at me, they yell or sometimes they even try to be your boss which seems annoying. Another two reasons why I hate phoenix is because I struggle to get friends, I feel like I'm the dumbest person in this city because I don't really communicate with no one because of the extreme shyness. Also I remember that I was the most bullied student in 7th grade. Also my family seems to act like if I wasn't even human. I feel like I wasn't even a skilled person in Phoenix because I didn't dare to join clubs in school. The reason why I didn't join any club in school because I feel like I was just a noob like i was never going to be able to practice even if I was focusing. Sometimes I was the wrong one. I remember that I used to take my dog out without the leash and so that's the only reason I agree why are the neighbors getting scared. And one more reason why we hate Phoenix is because we're one of the most stressed out families in Phoenix Arizona. and again because the hot weather doesn't even let me take a walk at the noon. I feel like I'm locked in the house for the whole day because of the hot weather, The neighbors who yell me for everything for little to no reason, and the pandemic that also sucked here because there was nowhere to at least cool down such and pool or stuff.

There are only 10,000 permanent residents and almost 4 million people who pass through town every year, with only two roads in and out. Traffic in the summer often involves an hour sitting just to get through town. Hiking during tourist season is a nightmare with hundreds of people dropping trash everywhere and leaving their dog crap on the trails. It's a vacation spot, not a home. Businesses closing because no one can find people to work for them due to all available housing becoming Air BnBs. Workers are being pushed out of town as CA transplants move in.

Housing prices are high for multiple reasons...

Agreed. After watching it snow May 1st many years ago in Coeur d' Alene I said to myself, I have to get out of here. At that time jobs didn't pay shit, and I suspect they still don't. Even healthcare wasn't common. And here's the thing many may not think about. Your income in your working years affects your social security in retirement. So it affects your entire life.

Too many expats in areas of Mexico for example have done the same thing, drive up rents, and home prices because they have more money than the local people do.

@@dh2392 And how do you think California got to be so expensive? Everyone from other states and other countries came here in huge numbers for years.

There's a lot of factors as to why Arizona is becoming expensive. California is just a fraction. People from all over the US are moving to Arizona because the majority of the country are Millennials who can't afford homes. Inflation is another problem. Houses are expensive everywhere right now.

Congrats, all you eastcoasters who come to the southwest are really just searching for you peace and happiness, but like I told my friend who was a transplant from New Jersey, happiness is where your heart is, your family, your roots, you choose to make New Jersey your personal hell so you can also make New Jersey your heaven on earth. It is all a state of mind. My transplant friend was a white guy living around all Mexicans , he just never fit in no matter how open he was. He was here all alone with his girlfriend, they had no friends, no family no roots in Arizona all they came with was a pipe dream. I’m glad my buddy decided to go back home to New Jersey, he is much happier now and looks more calm, I miss him but I would rather him him work on himself were he’s from then in some foreign town with Mexicans who he never lived with . You don’t need to leave the east coast to find your peace of mind. You need to fix yourself from within and you could live on the moon and be happy good luck

@Tasha Rogers, I appreciate your story. Living life includes trying new things and sometimes it doesn't always work the way we think it. Nothing wrong with that. I like that you all were honest and realized Arizona was not the place for you. Many people get stuck and bitter in situations like that. You were able to move back east because you realized it is a better fit. Upstate NY is a nice spot to land. Enjoy!

Everything is an adjustment especially going from the east coast to out west. I lived in colorado, moving from NY, culture shock but I adjusted fine. I’d adjust well to AZ, cos the winters in NY suck, its overpriced here. And not a great place to retire not for me. But the Midwest, southwest is a lifestyle a huge adjustment for a NYer. Florida is getting overrun with ppl from NY so AZ is the next best thing

I'm out by Bullhead and it is the hottest part of the state. My neighbor decided to go grocery shopping in 120 degree weather...he was wheelchair bound. He couldn't make it back up his ramp, fell out of his chair and died. I found him. I'm old too and walk with a cane. After 30+ years of living here I am very afraid and dread the summers.
