Top 10 Reasons To Live in Arizona 2024 

Top 20 places to visit in Arizona: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VcoTgPB9ON0.html

I moved to Arizona in Mar 2020, right when the COVID shut down started. For 2020 and most of 2021, I rarely left the house and my daughter was the only person I regularly interacted with in person. I only recently started getting out regularly and exploring places. One of my 2023 goals is to visit a new area in Arizona every month. Thank you for producing this channel.

Dry heat is the way to go!! I can tolerate dry heat far easier than humidity and cold!

I love Arizona: I may not be a resident yet, but I've been to Arizona and I've got to explore a bit what its like and honestly Arizona has my heart ❤ from the beautiful scenery to friendly people to spectacular sunsets and pleasant winters in the south I just love everything about AZ and I can't wait to see the rest of the state

I was born and raised in AZ and don't want to move anywhere else. My son bought a new build in Flagstaff several years ago and due to a job transfer he sold that home for more the twice the amount of what he paid. He bought a home in the Verrado area of Buckeye and was able to add a pool. Both him and his wife work for APS. My granddaughter just graduated from Coconino high school, she was the Salutatorian. She has a Lumberjack scholarship to NAU where she will start pre med in the fall. There are a lot of opportunities in AZ. Taking the ski lift at snow bowl in the fall is spectacular, but where warm clothes and a blanket is a must. 🌵👍

Not just the USA, inflation is a problem all over the world right now.

This year we are finally going to be achieving our dream, my family and I are moving to Arizona from Minnesota! Very excited!

I'm attracted to the outdoor activities.. I love trail biking and jeep of roading.. maybe Arizona is where I should be living in.

I have lived in Southern Arizona for 6 years now and I love it. It gets a little warm in the summer, but I never have to shovel snow or mow grass.

This year and around Christmas we been blessed with a lot of snow . The densely packed snow cover on trees made high elevated Flagstaff and area look stunning and serene! Great time to take kids out for some sledding or snow tubing.

I grew up in Prescott of course as a teenager I didn't appreciate it because it was small and not enough to do. Now, looking back I'm so grateful that I grew up there. Really wish I could afford to move back but at least I can still visit

What you are sharing is actually wise and powerful. Moving within the US can still produce cultural shock. To avoid this is to simply get out of your comfort zone and try new things. This helps me a lot. Thanks!

I love this channel, it's been so helpful. I'm from Amsterdam, The Netherlands and I'm engaged to an American who lives in Phoenix. I've visited once, I'll be back in November and the plan is that once we get married I'll be moving there. I have to be honest, I do have my concerns, especially when I see Americans saying that they would advice to stay in Europe, because of many reasons, like the gun violence and the bad (expensive) healthcare. So I'm nervous because of those reasons, but after seeing this video it just made me super excited. Because you pointed out so many things that for me are important and attractive. So thank you so much for taking a bit of my concerns away! Keep making these great videos 😃

He's right about wide open spaces and semi-right on infrastructure, everything else not so much. I guess it depends on whether or not you really love the desert and don't mind the los angeles mindset that's taking over the valley.

Great video! Moved to Flagstaff from Dallas/Ft Worth area last year and enjoying all of the outdoor areas.

IMO, there really are two Arizona's: the greater Phoenix valley, and every place else. Much of what Jeff said only applies to Phoenix. And, sorry, 'reasonable" (compared to more expensive US cities) and 'affordable' housing prices (for the average income family) are two different animals.

Returning subscriber. Great videos. I've driven through northern & southern AZ on multiple occasions, including a week in Tucson. Drove I-10 westward back through AZ last summer. I didn't find AZ to be inexpensive at the time, high rents and the home prices. The people I ran into, though, were some of the most friendly ever. Impending water shortage (from low river levels of the Colorado River & population growth) is a concern.

Thank you for all the information you provide. I have been exploring Arizona for the last six months. Its a great state.

Thank you for the video.

Great Video & Info ! Thanks

Lived there 11 years up to 11 years ago, shorts and sandals weather year round,beautiful sunsets great art shows. That's all that's good. No green except cactus, except Grand Canyon,but it's spendy to go. The sun eats everything , skin turns brown,but your skin ages fast ,fast, there is limited water , and lots of sediment in water,tastes awful. You can't touch anything during summer it's too hot, burn fingers on steering wheel , or door handles. Drivers are from 14 to 104 most visiting from somewhere cold,lots of snow birds die here from out of state. M13 gang runs Az. Snakes bugs and giant roaches,oh my. There's always a huge traffic jam,because of all accidents. Schools were horrible , prices are so high ,except for produce. Most people eat out all the time. Housing is cheaper but your air conditioning will kill, I'm not ever going back unless I need to fly through Sky Harbor at midnight at 100 plus degrees ,heading else where. The locals, don't like the visitors only thier money. But for all who like transients it's great during few months of winter

Thanks!

Another great video Jeff! We moved to Arizona for many of the reasons that you pointed out in this video. We're loving it here! Go Cardinals!, or ummm, maybe better luck next year😉. Take care sir and looking forward to your next video.

Another great video! Well done!!!

I go to Arizona every summer to visit family that live there. I love hot weather so I love the 100+ weather! I’m going this March for my cousins wedding I can’t wait to go back!!

I moved to Casa Grande two years ago. For the most part, I love it here for the weather. But, I’ve yet to start really exploring the land outside of driving here and there. I’d love to get out and about on foot hiking, or find some of the watering holes your showing int this video. Maybe you’ll consider adding the names of the locations to your videos?

I've always loved his enthusiasm for Arizona. But he's still fairly realistic about Arizona pros and cons. Cool channel.

Living in the valley takes adjustment. I lived from casa grande to anthem and love it. Dry heat but very hot summers coming from mid west. I’ll be back soon permanently.

My wife and I travel to Arizona 3-4 times a years and we love it, so much to see and do.

New subscriber this list is helpful and informative as a potential new resident of Arizona in the future

Great video 👍 Thanks! 🇺🇸

MAN ! You're videos are just getting better and better ! So, as far as food... Are there any decent seafood restaurants in the Phoenix area you recommend ?

Retired to Williams in 2021 and we love it.

Me and my friends were out there in November for the Spartan Race Event in Phoenix. Coming from Los Angeles I was amazed at how clean and pretty the freeways were. I want to move there so bad and don't worry I'm bringing any of the L.A. BS with me either.

I went to AZ five years ago and loved it! I'm a Canadian so it isn't that easy to pick up and move. When I retire in a few years, I'm going to over winter there!

I'll be visiting AZ very soon, Sedona for the last week of Feb (including a couple days around the Grand Canyon), and then spending the month of March in Tucson. Personally , from watching your videos and others, I think I'd prefer it the other way around. But one of the other people I'll be traveling with decided this would be best, she has been there before. And she prefers a social life, whereas I prefer nature. I'm sure it'll be great anyway. I will watch more videos about Tucson to find more things to fill my time with things I enjoy.

Better than 9 Months of rain 🌧

I live here in Tucson, but I’ll give you just one reason the weather. Yes, it gets hot in the summer, but the rest of the time is great.😊

CA person here...love your channel, brother...thank you...

Been a New Englander all my life but made it out to San Diego a few years ago then had to move back due to family. Now that I will be 40 next year i have been working with a realtor about possibly moving out to either AZ, NM, UT or NV. I will always love the 4 seasons here in New England but I loved the dry heat out west in Southern California.

Just bought a house with 21/3 fenced acres in Golden Valley for $112,000. 25 min. from the Colorado river.

will be moving here in about 9 months, can't wait, so excited, big change from living in NW MN and the brutal winters

I live AZ but with kids, education system here is literally like 44/50

I love living in Arizona, however, they're making a huge mistake by taking up massive city block after city block with these huge apartment complexes. Each apartment represents multiple people living on top of people, and each one of those people have a car. Our freeways are going to look like Southern California very soon, and trust me, you won't be happy when were living in gridlock as you try and navigate yourself around town.

Moved here from California 4 years ago. We live in Green Valley. Love it here! We do a lot of camping and southern AZ is excellent for that!

I would consider moving to AZ from UK even as a holiday home to start of with, seems a really nice place to live. Start thinking like a Pioneer's who went before you Arizona is a blank canvas to me it has so much potential.

I’m Southern and will tell you that if you are from the SE part of the country or even the Midwest, you will NOT find the people here friendly. It’s been a huge culture shock and after 22 years I’m still not used to the aloof, passive aggressive to downright rude behavior of the people here. Bring your own tribe if you’re moving here. Everything else in this video I agree with though.

I love Arizona. I have been living here since 1985. I'm originally from Portugal.

I love your channel. I'm kinda new here and I would love it if you could do a video about Marana :)

Nice

I live in AZ... don't move here unless you are very sure of the water supply to your home... Many are going dry... So don't be caught off guard...

My little sis just moved to Prescott from horrible San Diego and I am so looking forward to visiting her! May need to find some horse property there…..Central Oregon is losing me.

I've lived in Tucson 40 years , hate it . Would love to move up north in the state , smaller town . Our town starting to look like Cali with the homeless cities

Moved from Kansas to Phoenix when I was a kid, that's where I developed my palate for fine Mexican food, we just didn't have Taco Bells in KC.

It’s the LA of AZ, mosh pit of everyone from everywhere in phx. Traffic everyday, good areas and bad areas.

Bought ground in sun valley near Holbrook and look forward to retiring there next year .

Sky Harbor USED TO BE a convenient airport. Then they built the new terminals and closed terminal 2. Terminal 2 was awesome whereas terminal 3 (and perhaps terminal 4 - I haven't experienced it) is a total cluster-f*** s***-show. Just to get from the gate to baggage claim takes 10-15 minutes and you have to go up and down multiple elevators or escalators. Dropping someone off at terminal 3 is just as bad as the inside of terminal 3 itself. There are multiple pedestrian overpasses and they block visibility of signage that directs you which lanes are needed for each airline.

Few times I have been there I have nothing but great things to say. Just to hot for me.

I'm currently looking forward to moving Arizona this video was very helpful

Az is incredible.....I live in Texas and there is no relief from the humid heat 9 months of the year.

I love AZ so much that I bought a small lot close to LHC, talk about hot! But it is a cute fun area ❤

Good evening Jeff

Good one Jeff. Maybe too good! If you get my drift. One reason for all the things you say positive about our lovely state is the population density is very low, if you get away from the two major population centers of Phoenix and Tucson. And those two places are where the negatives like crime are centered, otherwise yes, if you like the outdoors, it's your place. I paint landscapes en plein air (outdoors) and that's a major reason I'm living here now. Also, we have very little in the way of natural disasters, no quakes, little rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, and no snow unless you seek it out, but rarely "ice ages" like in the east, and your car won't float away in a rainstorm, like in CA now, unless you are stupid in a flash flooded area. And it will cost you big bucks to get rescued; so don't be that stupid guy or gal and drive into what looks like a "little puddle", in your Prius! Get a big truck, first thing, if you move here! ;D But the critters, ah yes, the Crittttttttttters!! You gotta love creepy crawlies, if you move here!! We have millions of snakes, scorpions, and billions of killer bees, so be careful and aware, especially on those picturesque hikes. Put down the selfie stick and phone and look where you put your feet, and which tree you walk under. And bring water, the number one reason for deaths of AZ tourists is from dehydration; it creeps up fast and will kill you in a few hours. Otherwise, it's one of the best places to live, not only in the USA, but the whole planet!! Right Jeff? LOL ;D

what is your opinion for someone that has bad arthritis , fibromyalgia, and asthma regarding the weather/climate/heat/oxygen levels/higher altitude? i've always heard that the dry heat there is good for arthritis/fibromyalgia people but i'm not sure about the asthma/allergy issue being that there is a lot of dust in the air. also, at least the climate is mostly stable there, which is great, coming from a person living with bi-polar weather conditions (texas), which wreaks havoc on all my health conditions because of the back and forth weather, as soon as i get adjusted, another weather change, back to square one. thanks.

Dude ! I need a video about apartment complex areas and safe areas. I am moving in july this year to phoenix and its kinda hard to figure out where to live for a young person

Can you make video about community with Hud Section8, senior low income programs in Arizona? Thanks!

Arizona is calling my soul!

I started to first motions on my moving back to AZ in late August, and experienced some set backs that really challenged my decision ($2,000 worth of car repairs). However, I am back on board and should be there the first week in Dec 2023. However, I do have some concerns about extremely high electric bills, currently it is Oct 21st, and its 98 degrees in Tempe? I know I will have to really live humbly when there this time or else things can get out of hand fast financially.

From someone that's lived in beautiful Arizona for his whole life here are my top places to move. Golden valley, Douglas, and Arizona city, don't forget beautiful san luis and breathtaking elloy Arizona high paying low rent and safe with the best schools. They will welcome you with open arms. See you soon neighbor

Lived in AZ from 1980-1995, then again 2006-2011….live in TN now, LOVE it here…AZ is too crowded, too hot…the West’s most Mid-Western town…keep it

Like these kinds of videos. But we need an honest take on the water situation in AZ.

I’m moving to the Phoenix area soon. I’m looking to start some type of trucking business. I’m not sure what’s the best area to invest in. Towing or dump trucks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I love living in Arizona

summer last 6 months in Phoenix

Where are the craftsman type homes that are shown in this video located? They are beautiful.

I live in Mesa! Used to live In Chandler, I’d love to meet you!

What are the roads like there? Main highways and artillery streets? In Portland metro there is little to no road maintenance. Potholes and unkept streets/sidewalks make it unenjoyable to walk or drive. Thanks.

Will someone PLEASE let me know where the rock water slide place is at 7:34? 🙏

Don’t mind the drought and water shortage because to many people keep moving here.

from someone who has lived here almost 20 years- the heat in the summer is getting worse. more days over 110 than summers before. im finally moving away before this next summer hits. also the population growing so quickly and a massive lack of public transportation infrastructure causes lots of traffic and congestion that i'll be glad to get away from

What do you think about the gold canyon area.

Can you tell us what is the name of the city or town where those craftsmen-style houses are?

Can you do a video of moving from Canada to Arizona

Hello living Arizona we happened to bump into your channel just wonderful video. I am thinking to move to Arizona for ICU nursing jobs. I am looking for a safe place to base close to good hospital which has heart surgery ICU specialty. Thanks.

Lived in AZ from 1984 to 2022. Left for the mountains of north Georgia. Loved AZ for the first 25 or so years, but hate that it's becoming Californicated. So relieved to be outta there! And good luck with the water situation when no one is willing to conserve.

Water is getting scarce. Maniacal drivers from out of state especially from CALIFORNIA. People that left blue states continue to vote blue even though Arizona has traditionally been a red state. We are now considered purple although I think in some ways we've gone blue.

I love living here, but your section on food would not have helped me decide. All you showed was fast food chain restaurants.

Thanks for all your videos. Like our home of Havasu. Not happy with AZ political turn. Fight for what you believe in.

Moving back to AZ by the end of June

Hi I was born in ARIZONA.

You have any videos on kingman I'm moving there

67yr old retired looking to relocate for small gold bearing town to metal detect for daily activities suggestions please ?

What is the Rent per month in pheonix for single bed house or condo or apartments.

Montana to Arizona! currently your governor and the border is a No Go for most people. Get you act together. Protect your border, protect your people.

What about the lack of water that the news is talking about? Going to be running out of it soon?

Is there a water shortage there and if so how serious?

Australian here. Thanks for the great information - we're going to Phoenix for a medical conference in January 2024 for 8 days. I'll be out and around exploring while my wife attends the conference. Really looking forward to it :-)

Safest of top 15 metros in the Nation hands down. We won’t get in to why but those who know know. 🌞🌵😎

I'm moving from California asap just have a few loose ends to tie up. Perfect place to move my family. I'm a pest control professional. We been at this address in California for 28 years our neighbor that just moved in is making our lives miserable and he won a restraining order me because I was fed up with his dis respect towards my family. Now he's using the law as a weapon towards me. I have to have body cameras for my protection every time I come out his door is 7 feet away from my door. How do I live. He doesn't like that we are always happy. Going to start planing in July.

i am looking for good state to move to ( that fit my life style) as someone who is 27 with only diploma and living in michigan its hard for me to find a good job and place to get used to i did live in Texas for 2 years i didn't like it that much but i did like the weather i dont know alot of people to ask and i am by myself the big question is will arizona be a good place for someone like me
