I moved to Phoenix from Miami, FL two and a half years ago and I could not be happier. It's way easier to get a job, way cheaper, the roads are easier to drive through, and the weather is not as humid. I also love that the people are more conservative and are not all up in your face. Some people complain about the people being "dry" and "boring" but I don't see that. They are quieter but once you get to know them they are good-hearted. People in Florida are loud, annoying, stupid, and crass compared to here. Not to mention all the nasty New Yorkers we have to deal with in Florida. I love that so many people from the Midwest live here too and not too many from New York, although lately the NYers are pouring into Arizona, ugh. The education system here is way better. Now as for the cons beware that there is a lot of property crime here and crime in general is a problem. Be careful where you choose to buy or rent here. The rule is you get what you pay for. Do not rent very cheap apartments because those are full of people who have been through the system and are not the nicest, eg druggies, dealers, mentally unstable, hookers, what have you. There are LOTS of people in this city who have drug problems as well. Also the 3 months of summer are not for the faint of heart. It does get very hot. Other than that if you work hard you can move up here and live in a nice place with LOTS to do and just a short drive from such awesome places like LA, San Diego, and Vegas, or you can go to Salt Lake City or Idaho for a weekend getaway. GOOD LUCK!
I've lived in Arizona for 33 years now and definitely ready to move! But don't get me wrong, people love it here if you're not from here ha ha. If I could recommend any city to move to it would be Gilbert Arizona. It's probably the cleanest and most family friendly city there is. Downtown Gilbert is the new Scottsdale FYI! Several new restaurants and bars on Gilbert Road. If you like clean roads, new restaurants and strip malls, fast food restaurants, brand-new houses that all look the same and the sun in your face all day… This is the place for you! You could easily get a three bedroom two bath, 1800 square-foot house with the three car garage and a pool for $280,000 in Gilbert. Not bad right!?!?
Danielle Cortney I'm thinking about moving have been for a year, I have family there! I'm the type who love to hike and bike and the outdoors! I'm from SC
after watching 113 of your videos, mostly vlog, I've decided you guys rock. Lol. I'm doing a business/ living/permecultural garden on my plot myself. thanks for the videos. always good to see another person's thoughts and learning process.
Breanna Harris Yeah, it gets pretty scorching some days, haha. I love the weather in AZ though. No snow or disasters is the main reason I moved there. 😁👌
Small world, lol. You definitely should. Milwaukee has been getting more horrible by the day. You're gonna feel a lot more free when you move. It's beautiful here in AZ
@@LifeWitSed yes it was just a shooting down the street from my house the other day! I’m over it if I could leave right now i would. I have to finish up my internship and I just started applying to therapist positions the other day. Wish me luck! I hope I get a call back 🤞🏽
50+ year old native Arizonan here (Phoenix area), welcome to Arizona and good video. Thanks for defending dry heat, it IS REAL. What I tell people is that if you can get through July and August (heat plus humidity) you've got it made. Even July and August can be a wild card and decent for periods of time depending on whether we get rain. Also there's some good stuff to see in the southern part of the state, lots more saguaro cacti in the Tucson area and further south.
I heard part of the reason there are so many accidents in the Phoenix area is because of the grid layout of the roads. They are very wide and straight and people tend to drive faster than if the roads were more narrow and winding. People still need to drive more careful.
Could be. Seems like more room would keep everyone away from each other though, lol. The way they have the arrows and regular lights can definitely be confusing. I see a lot of people go on the wrong lights. Where I'm from, they keep the regular lights and arrows in one box. Seems a bit easier.
I've been here for 5 days & can tell the mechanics are busy with brake work. Everyone flies down the road just to have to brake really hard & fast when they need to stop. The way the on & off ramps are is ok, but always room for improvement. This area is really spread out & it takes forever to get anywhere.
I appreciate all the time you took to make this video. I maybe moving to Arizona due to a job transfer and i know nothing about arizona or places to visit or food which is served their. Your video helped me alot.
I've decided to move to AZ within the next year. I just visited there last week, my fifth trip there in about 10 years. Your video gave some insight. I won't be moving there with a car, which is why I'm likely to settle down in Tempe until I'm situated and then move into Phoenix. I just need a smaller city, or community, to settle into first before moving into the big city.
NWguy That sounds good. It'll be easier to commute in Tempe. Lots of areas where everything is in walking/biking distance. Especially near the colleges.
+HellaCrayyVlogs Hahaha it will happen dude. Needed to push the reset button in my life. Only got 2 friends out there. Need a new environment. Last year alone I visit AZ a few times and loved it. So it's gonna be a new experience for me.
+Sergio Flores It's been good so far. A lot of people complain of the heat, but it's not that bad. Of course there's days when the sun is out more than others, but other than that, it's been cool so far. I don't see my self moving away anytime soon. The only thing that bothers me a bit are the drivers here, but I think I explained that in the vid, lol. They're so careless. If I come up with anything, I'll let ya know.
I have lived in AZ for about 8yrs and I love it. I lived in the Midwest for yrs. hated the cold and the parking in the winter is terrible also driving. I'll visit other places but my home is here in the good old AZ. area:)
Thanks for this video man, I am also from Milwaukee and Im moving to Arizona in a week, this will be a big change for me, but I am definitely up for the challenge and new lifestyle.
CieraMariee SAVE YOURSELF DONT MOVE HERE ITS BORING AND HOT ARIZONA IS JUST THE STATE OF INTROVERTS WE DONT GO OUTSIDE UNLESS WE SWIM AND IT REACHES 122 FRICKIN DEGREES I WANT TO MOVE TO CALI AND WE HAVE WEIRD NAMES FOR STORMS LIKE HABOOB AND MONSOON
This video really helped me, I’m looking to move to Arizona from Boston!!! Sooooo Nervous about it I’m coming to visit in may. Anymore Advice you can help me out with???
I’m actually native to Arizona and it is amazing her like you are aloud to free hold and it is amazing because it’s the West out here and we still have our West laws it’s awesome :)
HellaCrayyVlogs my job will be located either in Glendale or Scottsdale. Any suggestions on places to live? Would like to live where I work to avoid commute especially since I won't be too familiar with the area yet. Looking to rent the first year.
The more budget friendly areas of Scottsdale are probably South Scottsdale and the Arcadia area. I'm not too sure about Glendale since I haven't been in that area too much.
Thanks for the info. The husband and I just made the crazy decision to move to AZ today. We want to move mid March 2017. We're both from CA & we just moved back to CA from Las Vegas, NV. So hopefully AZ Is good to us.
Glad I could help! I love it here so far. It does get a little hot, so it might not be a good place to move if you don't like heat. I haaaaate the heat, but it doesn't bother me all that much. Now if I was a outdoorsy type of person, it would suck. I'm lame and I'm not out much though...lol. But as long as you're not standing in direct sunlight for too long, you're good.
It's May...in the coming months it will get hotter and reach about 116-118. One year it went up to 120! I been here close 27 years now. I do love the winter months. As far as the scorpions/snakes it depends on where you live the more remote you live the more you will see those critters. Welcome to Arizona!
Jake Koontz People just need to limit the outdoor activties. Especially older people. It's like that everywhere. It's either really cold days or really hot days. Can't escape it.
i want to move to there from the uk😂 i would probably die with the heat because im used to such cold weather😂 you could wear sweats & a jumper in the summer where i live😂 the highest weather in the whole year would probably be like 24° (75 degrees)
Why would you move from the UK? Seems cool there. Plus there's all of the cool accents, lol. I never knew it doesn't get that hot there though. It's been 120° here...lol.
I'm living in ireland and planning to move over to arizona for a year or two after college but I'm afraid, I'm more productive in bright warm places but I'm also afraid I'll die of he at
You really get used to the heat my husband is from Estonia which is constant rain and they have really heavy snow..now he can barely stand Arizona winters :/
you want die of the heat...we have a central air and lots of fans to use, plus we have aircon in our cars...lol... here...I am from the uk and live in wisconsin, but may move to AZ
Thank god I came across this video. I'm moving to az in a couple days. I have visited in the winter but this will be my first time coming up in the summer 😁 i have had my doubts of moving because of what ppl say about the heat but yes I have ppl say it's not that bad. Mainly moving because cost of living is cheaper and traffic is way better than Hawaii. Thanks for the video😄
No problem! I've gotten used to the heat and I'm usually in my car or my apartment, so I'm not outside much anyway. Just be sure to get a windshield sunshade if you have a car. Otherwise you'll melt as soon as you hit the seats or touch anything, lmao. :D
I am considering moving from Cali to AZ. I've lived in Flag for 6 years total. Practically grew up along the Parker Strip over the summer and I cannot pay the outlandish rent in CA. I miss AZ. Thanks for the hot top, and Congratulations on being an Uncle 💕💕.
I love Day tripping in AZ!! Park RV in Payson (middle of the state) & day trip in each direction...good times. Phoenix too big lol. Getting shot, kinda like Milwaukee.
HellaCrayyVlogs hahaha that's my wife's comment! I guess she watched this video before me! I just found your video today! We're moving to the West valley area. Leaving this week! 😂👍
Hello fellow Cheesehead!! Grew up in Lake Geneva, WI about an hour from Milwaukee, WI. I live in NM/AZ now. Love the high desert regions & 4 mild seasons. Love me some mountains!!
I live on the west side of Phoenix and honestly it’s not that bad when it comes to crime as long as you’re nice to people and don’t hang out with the wrong crowd you’ll be good
Love your videos....so informative. I'm moving from Chicago to Chandler this month. I was going to have my car shipped but the price quoted was crazy. ($800-$1200) So I've decided to drive but now scared as heck regarding driving threw flagstaff. :( Thanks so much for the heads up. I needed to see/hear this video. Peace and blessings to you.
Meandmy2 only Yeah, it's definitely expensive to have a car shipped. If you're afraid of heights and steep mountains, I'd definitely avoid the Flaggstaff route, lol. Thanks!
You made this the 2nd week of May. What do ya think of the weather now, after your first summer?? LOL! Spent 4 years in the 602 & loved it. Will be returning to the state soon. This is my final Wisconsin winter...DONE! lol
GunClinger Honestly, the super hot months go by so fast, you barely notice it. if you're an outdoorsy type of person or if you work outside, then bless your soul, lmao. As long as your AC is good in your home and car, you'll be fine. I'm actually in Wisconsin right now too, haha. This snow is annoying already, lol. Going back to AZ in April. 😁
HellaCrayyVlogs Oh, no chit? I'm in Milwaukee, will be heading out March-April as well. Yeah, its hardly stopped snowing since it started on the 4th, ay?? It's giving a nice send-off to remember lol. My job in the 602 was 10 miles from my house, and I commuted probably 85% by mountain bike, the other times by Valley Metro. It was semi-outdoor work, being a warehouse with all overhead doors open through the summer, driving fork-truck out under the sun just to stage finished orders for shipping. The bike commute was always interesting. Saw an accident about every day. People never look to their right when pulling out of shopping centers, a lot of blown red lights and wrong way and drunk drivers. Gotta have your eyes all around you for sure. The general rule for water intake is a quart or so an hour, so if ya get thirsty, it's getting to be too late. Water bottles became like jewelry to me LOL.
GunClinger I lived in Milwaukee before I moved to AZ. I'm in Menomonee Falls for now. I probably would've died on bike, lol. Me and heat don't get along too much, haha. I can definitely say the same about the drivers there. I've never seen more accidents in my life. Even got hit twice within a few months...lol.
My family and me are thinking of moving to Arizona from the UK. My dad is a service engineer and is currently working over in AZ and we hardly see him, and he really likes it there so we were thinking of moving for many reasons.
Im actually thinking about moving there to phoenix from Charlotte nc im ready for the nice weather all year around its cold as hell here in nc its crazy ive never been out west but ive heard so many good things thanks for the video
We have looked at some homes in AZ and were wondering about all the concrete walls around the yards? One person told me it was for the dust storms and for keeping flash flood water out of your yard, flood water! So we have only looked at homes that are elevated. We use Google Earth to find lower drainage spots and avoid them. Are some parts of the state more prone to flash floods?
BulletSpoung I wondered the same thing before I moved here. I read that it was just for privacy, safety and to keep fires from spreading. They started the brick walls in the older parts of Arizona, so I guess they just kept the scheme. As for the flooding, there's a few maps that show the areas that are more prone to floods. Here's one: www.abc15.com/monsoon
i have been in Arizona for 17 years and you would be surprised; I just found out about Phoenix last year but have lived in backwoods aoutheastern Arizona like Bisbee, Sierra Vista, St David areas. Hella better weather out there than northern Arizona up by Phoenix which i call Nevada's blood brother it's that fiery hot. Tucson is a little better city than one would expect, rarely getting over 95 degrees tops. Very temperate in southeast Arizona fo sho
Hubby and I are gonna be westbound in April 2020..😀(his plan was to retire April 2019..)🤔..THEN we went to AZ to see our grandson this past Christmas.😃 ..after we took a drive to visit Tombstone .. It didn't take long for us to seriously think about making a big move and live out our final years together.(32yrs in May)😶😥 So hopefully ..🤔we have another decade🙄lol ..so why not live our final years there? 🤔I live with 3 digit temps too...and being close to Savannah..I can assure you it's the humidity here that kills you!😓😫😩 SO gonna trade these Rainy nights in Ga for Dry heat and Beautiful Sunrises & Sunsets. In fact those are just a few of things that make Arizona so beautiful. We totally fell in love with it. Plus I like rocks!😁😂🤣and can take drive anytime up to the Phoenix area to see our family too 😊
what I like about AZ you loose weight fast from the heat recommend fat people living in cold states to AZ shit you loose 100 pound fast in those fuckin hot summer months
Definitely, was planning on moving to Phoenix. Damn, the cost of living up. I currently live live in Denver Colorado. where the rent is ridiculous high. Definitely can't afford to live here anymore. So I'm heading back to Florida. My brother lives in Chandler.
there are pros and cons to every state.Im from cali but i moved to az back in 92.I love it here and id never move back to cali! We have everything here i guess it depends where you actually live..I have lake pleasant,45 min away.We have sedona only hour half from me.And flag 2 hours from me..Sure summer is hot no doubt,but you usually do more at night..I use to always hit the lake..Westgate is cardinal stadium..They have everything there! bike shows,car shows, movies,clubs,restuarants, free bands playing every weekend.Arizona isnt all cactus and tumble weeds..lol
HellaCrayyVlogs, there are a couple things to do in phoenix in the summer, go to a baseball game and go to the salt river and go tubing. I lived there for 10 years and moved away 6 years ago. I do not miss the high temps and the 6 month summers. But going tubing is a blast. ruclips.net/video/1LN55CuXX_c/видео.html
My opinions: Pros- Best desert beauty in the country, has a few of the best cities in the country, HOT Summer, has forest, fairly cheap, good mexican food, diverse weather for those that can't stand the heat, good Winter weather, snows in Northern AZ, lots to do, has major sports (but only the Cardinals are good), has a few major universities, good places to golf, Grand Canyon, good places to hike, good places to explore, cowboy and indian history scattered through the state, good fast food, has pretty decent concert venues, lots of hidden beauties like waterfalls and secret creeks or lakes) Cons- HOT Summer everywhere but Northern AZ (which is still hot, but slightly bearable), pretty conservative people, lots of illegals (not that it will affect you much), rattlesnakes, scorpions, centipedes, dust storms, very mediocre education in general (although there are some great, beautiful high schools in the nicer areas) Top 5 best places to live: Gilbert (Phoenix suburb) - one of the countrie's best Chandler (Phoenix suburb) - one of the countrie's best Scottsdale (Phoenix suburb) Anthem (Phoenix suburb) Flagstaff (Northern Arizona) - best in Northern AZ
HellaCrayyVlogs I moved from Connecticut to Ohio five years ago and I ready to leave now that my last youngest son has graduated from High School, I'm ready for a new life...so done with the dam snow
Thinking of moving to Goodyear, my grandparents live there. What are the typical jobs people have there. I know Wells Fargo is a big one. Also I see most people have metal doors on their homes in addition to the regular front door! What's that all about lol. Is it that bad even in the Goodyear/ Surprise area?
I see a lot of call center jobs everywhere. I haven't seen any security doors at all around where I live, lol. Goodyear is the most quiet city I've been to in Arizona so far. I haven't seen much of surprise, but the parts that I've been in were nice. I wouldn't mind staying here in Goodyear.
i'm moving from minnesota to arizonia. the summers in minnesota have been extremely humid and it is not worth dealing with an extremely cold winter and extremely humid summer. i would prefer the heat over the cold though
Thank you for sharing this. I run a company in Oregon (cool climate and very green) and will be opening a touring company in Arizona. Any thoughts as to what is the most touristy locations?
The Grand Canyon is probably the most popular. The Hoover Dam as well, but I wouldn't step foot on the bridge due to the height, haha. Sedona is a really amazing looking city. Lake Havasu is really stunning as well. There's loads more though that I haven't been to, so I'd look up some. :)
please could you do more videos in AZ. My wife and I was looking at Gilbert area. We need a 3 bedroom but skeptical of renting apt because we have 3 children and sometimes like any other children's they like to run around at times and I just want to respect my neighbors much as possible. So a home would be great.
Hey I grew up in Gilbert. I think its a great place for a family, its stupid hot in the summer so be prepared of that like you will be angry at the heat I promise, but lots of jobs. People are mostly to themselves, its clean and quiet. Usually there's not a lot of people out walking around (cus hot as hell) and you and your wife would both need a car to live comfortably in my opinion. I would recommend renting a home for more respect for your neighbors as well.
arizona native living in cali here........tucson is where the mountains and hiking is at.....but if your scared of heights then avoid mount lemon(14k ft. ) as the road up goes along high cliffs...........with regards to arizona sports....the pro baseball team is the diamondbacks not the cardinals.....its all good though i know you havent been living there that along....Im going to try postmates out here in l.a and see if anything comes from it...
I definitely won't be doing any high mountain climbing, haha. And whoops, I didn't even catch that I said cardinals, lol. Postmates in LA is definitely busy, but parking and traffic can be treacherous from what I've heard...
+Edward Sonder It definitely could since you have an hour to drop the stuff off. I mean you still get paid even if the hour is up, but that's what they advertise. But traffic or a parking spot could definitely hurt your tip. I've walked blocks just to drop of burgers. I wouldn't dare to do that now though. it's 115 today, haha. I'll be doing postmates tonight though.
We build homes on slab so the incremental cost to build a basement is high compared to cold weather areas where you have to build footers below the frost line so you are partially there already. Plus you can hit a hard dig here if you hit rock or caliche.
@@LifeWitSed basements are super expensive. They offered them in our neighborhood in Verrado but it was at least $60K additional so we went for a big yard instead. It is cheaper to build a 2 story w/ loft than a basement here.
@@amyhayslettrealtor1901 Wow, I would've opted for the yard as well. Everyone had basements back in Wisconsin, but they're more of a safety precaution from tornados.
What about Allergies? I live in Vancouver, WA right across the river from Portland, OR and the closer you get to Eugene, OR the stronger the allergies are. With that said do you see a lot of people with allergies problems.
Lamonte Haynes It probably wouldn't be a good place for people with severe allergies. With it being a desert, there's a lot of dust. Dust storms, dust clouds, etc. There's also a lot of ragweed and the pollen from those fly around like crazy. The good thing is there isn't a lot of grassy residential areas. I'd definitely visit if you haven't been there already to see how well your allergies can put up with it.
Hello Erin, I dont know exactly what I am allergic to, the only thing I do know it my allergies get bad in April and go away in June. I need to go figure out what I am allergic to.
Well good luck to you i honestly would not consider it i was born in az and moved to chicago and honestly chicago is a miracle i live here . Good luck to you!
I wanna move here. I have family there. Yes friends are nice but i want to hang out with my cousins who are my age it's best for me. And i need to move on from the shit where i live. I can get over it here but it's best to move somewhere new to have a new start
Dam now I keep hearing about these non drivers, Im recovering now from a car accident with a broken pelvic so hearing this is turning me off, but maybe I'll catch the bus
Ive lived in NYC my entire life 31 yrs old, and I'm tired lol, I'm looking for a small house with my mom got about 50k cash we are still saving up, we are looking at texas, new mexico, Arkansas, Arizona, somehwre hot!!!! how are the jobs there? what are the most popular jobs? house prizes? rent? save neighborhoods?im sorry if I sound so annoying I'm just tired OF NYC!!!!
Texas is your best bet, lots of job opportunities great living areas and growing cities. It gets hot here but not AZ hot, Its a bipolar weather state but all in all lots of stuff to explore. Prices are good on houses it's why alot of people move here, you'll be paying way less on a house then what you pay for an apartment to rent in New York.
Hi there Brandon, I'm a REALTOR with RE/MAX Desert Showcase, so if you need any help finding a place to live when you get here let me know! 623-252-7275
I lived in Phoenix. What I found most of all is being bored with nothing to do but booze. One day was just as the other, that was all. So I got on my car and headed west. Where was the BEACH the water the good times. You like Az well stay there.
Great video..you are so funny. I have a question. I have a child with Cerebral Palsy and I'm really considering moving to surprise Arizona or goodyear not sure yet. I have never ever been out there. But anyway is there good hospitals, programs and Therapies for my child. so far from doing research it seems there ranked#1 in special needs assistance. what you think?
Jennifer Martinez Thanks! I loved Goodyear and Surprise, even though I've only been to surprise a few times. If you're a more laid back and relaxed person, one of those would definitely fit you. As for the hospitals, I've been to one that was in Scottsdale when someone I know was admitted. I've also been to the Phoenix children's hospital when I was looking for a job. It's huge, everyone there was friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. I'd definitely look into that one if you decide to move to AZ. :)
HellaCrayyVlogs Thanks. I'll def continue to do some research. So far i like what i hear. From the search I've done there seems to be great things for my son. Planning my move for 2019 so I have more then enough time. Thanks again. Take care
HellaCrayyVlogs im just tired of this cold ass weather...i looked up some other videos on youtube and some guy was saying alot of apartments & hotels there in Arizona are haunted & that shit kinda scared me cause me & a friend wanted to come there in may for a week n sleep at a hotel and see how it is there but that shit kinda got me scared...
Im thinking about moving to phoenix Arizona. But you said some areas have a high crime rate. Do you know which part of phoenix like is it the north part of phoenix or where like zip code wise? Im trying to find a job before I move there which job site did you use to apply for jobs? Thanks alot
I would pull up a crime map. I personally like the once Trulia has. Just Google "trulia phoenix crime map" and you should see it. A good site for jobs is indeed.com. There's a lot of job ads on craigslist as well.
on the driving thing...I think drivers pretty much suck everywhere, I grew up in L.A. and moved to nor. CAL and believe me people drive bad everywhere. I hear its a great place to raise a family?
I moved to Phoenix from Miami, FL two and a half years ago and I could not be happier. It's way easier to get a job, way cheaper, the roads are easier to drive through, and the weather is not as humid. I also love that the people are more conservative and are not all up in your face. Some people complain about the people being "dry" and "boring" but I don't see that. They are quieter but once you get to know them they are good-hearted. People in Florida are loud, annoying, stupid, and crass compared to here. Not to mention all the nasty New Yorkers we have to deal with in Florida. I love that so many people from the Midwest live here too and not too many from New York, although lately the NYers are pouring into Arizona, ugh. The education system here is way better. Now as for the cons beware that there is a lot of property crime here and crime in general is a problem. Be careful where you choose to buy or rent here. The rule is you get what you pay for. Do not rent very cheap apartments because those are full of people who have been through the system and are not the nicest, eg druggies, dealers, mentally unstable, hookers, what have you. There are LOTS of people in this city who have drug problems as well. Also the 3 months of summer are not for the faint of heart. It does get very hot. Other than that if you work hard you can move up here and live in a nice place with LOTS to do and just a short drive from such awesome places like LA, San Diego, and Vegas, or you can go to Salt Lake City or Idaho for a weekend getaway. GOOD LUCK!
coupleofbeers31 Hello there hi I want some tips about phoenix, because I wanna move...
Moving to Phoenix next month can't wait
I've lived in Arizona for 33 years now and definitely ready to move! But don't get me wrong, people love it here if you're not from here ha ha. If I could recommend any city to move to it would be Gilbert Arizona. It's probably the cleanest and most family friendly city there is. Downtown Gilbert is the new Scottsdale FYI! Several new restaurants and bars on Gilbert Road. If you like clean roads, new restaurants and strip malls, fast food restaurants, brand-new houses that all look the same and the sun in your face all day… This is the place for you! You could easily get a three bedroom two bath, 1800 square-foot house with the three car garage and a pool for $280,000 in Gilbert. Not bad right!?!?
Im glad i came across this, im moving from NY to AZ in about 14 months, cant wait to leave the big city and cold weather
I know what you mean. I couldn't wait to leave Wisconsin...lol.
How do you like it so far?
Danielle Cortney hey so am i and my family.. did you move already?
Danielle Cortney I'm thinking about moving have been for a year, I have family there! I'm the type who love to hike and bike and the outdoors! I'm from SC
Liz DeStefano If you want to hike and go outside in general in AZ please bring lots of water. Do not underestimate the heat.
Why am I watching this I live in Arizona 😂😂
Alicia Desamais me too😂😂
Bruh me too
😂😂
😂😂
I'm bout to move there in a month
Holy crap, this video was helpful. I've seen other videos and you had the best one so far. Thank you
Erin Andres No problem! Glad I could help. 😊😊
after watching 113 of your videos, mostly vlog, I've decided you guys rock. Lol. I'm doing a business/ living/permecultural garden on my plot myself. thanks for the videos. always good to see another person's thoughts and learning process.
I'm buying a home in Scottsdale. I'm very excited
B.W. Mckay That's big. Congrats! 👏
Congrats! I hope to move out there end of Summer 2020.
I live in Scottsdale, AZ! Az squad where u at?
Human Ishere Glendale Bro!!!
Here in Paradise Valley!! lol
Xenith! rich bitch
I am born and raised in AZ and the heat is bad in summer but that's only 2 months and winter is amazing there's no snow or natural disasters
Breanna Harris Yeah, it gets pretty scorching some days, haha. I love the weather in AZ though. No snow or disasters is the main reason I moved there. 😁👌

This is a great video. Very accurate 👌I’ve lived here 30years. And I’m in Goodyear also 😁
I’m glad I came across this video because I plan on moving there in May after I graduate from Milwaukee
Small world, lol. You definitely should. Milwaukee has been getting more horrible by the day. You're gonna feel a lot more free when you move. It's beautiful here in AZ
@@LifeWitSed yes it was just a shooting down the street from my house the other day! I’m over it if I could leave right now i would. I have to finish up my internship and I just started applying to therapist positions the other day. Wish me luck! I hope I get a call back 🤞🏽
@@krystalchambers8952 That's what I'm saying. It's crazy and it's neverending. Good luck! I'm sure you got it!
50+ year old native Arizonan here (Phoenix area), welcome to Arizona and good video. Thanks for defending dry heat, it IS REAL. What I tell people is that if you can get through July and August (heat plus humidity) you've got it made. Even July and August can be a wild card and decent for periods of time depending on whether we get rain. Also there's some good stuff to see in the southern part of the state, lots more saguaro cacti in the Tucson area and further south.
Dean Kennedy Definitely! I'll have to check out Tucson. Haven't been there much.
I heard part of the reason there are so many accidents in the Phoenix area is because of the grid layout of the roads. They are very wide and straight and people tend to drive faster than if the roads were more narrow and winding. People still need to drive more careful.
Could be. Seems like more room would keep everyone away from each other though, lol. The way they have the arrows and regular lights can definitely be confusing. I see a lot of people go on the wrong lights. Where I'm from, they keep the regular lights and arrows in one box. Seems a bit easier.
I've been here for 5 days & can tell the mechanics are busy with brake work. Everyone flies down the road just to have to brake really hard & fast when they need to stop. The way the on & off ramps are is ok, but always room for improvement. This area is really spread out & it takes forever to get anywhere.
I appreciate all the time you took to make this video. I maybe moving to Arizona due to a job transfer and i know nothing about arizona or places to visit or food which is served their. Your video helped me alot.
I've decided to move to AZ within the next year. I just visited there last week, my fifth trip there in about 10 years. Your video gave some insight. I won't be moving there with a car, which is why I'm likely to settle down in Tempe until I'm situated and then move into Phoenix. I just need a smaller city, or community, to settle into first before moving into the big city.
NWguy That sounds good. It'll be easier to commute in Tempe. Lots of areas where everything is in walking/biking distance. Especially near the colleges.
I'm currently in a process of buying a home on Arizona. I currently live in Chicago
Nice man! I wish I was able to buy a house. Too poor right now, but I guess I will one day...lol.
+HellaCrayyVlogs Hahaha it will happen dude. Needed to push the reset button in my life. Only got 2 friends out there. Need a new environment. Last year alone I visit AZ a few times and loved it. So it's gonna be a new experience for me.
+Sergio Flores Same here. Visited last September (I think) and moved here 3 months later. Love it here so far. 👌
+HellaCrayyVlogs How's the experience been since the move? Any other advice?
+Sergio Flores It's been good so far. A lot of people complain of the heat, but it's not that bad. Of course there's days when the sun is out more than others, but other than that, it's been cool so far. I don't see my self moving away anytime soon. The only thing that bothers me a bit are the drivers here, but I think I explained that in the vid, lol. They're so careless. If I come up with anything, I'll let ya know.
I have lived in AZ for about 8yrs and I love it. I lived in the Midwest for yrs. hated the cold and the parking in the winter is terrible also driving. I'll visit other places but my home is here in the good old AZ. area:)
Congrats on making such a huge life change, moving never easy!
Thanks for this video man, I am also from Milwaukee and Im moving to Arizona in a week, this will be a big change for me, but I am definitely up for the challenge and new lifestyle.
really considering moving to arizona in 2018 thanks for this information!
CieraMariee No problem!
HellaCrayyVlogs im also moving soon god willing with my family.. most likely scottsdale...
CieraMariee I'm moving there in the fall 💖
CieraMariee same that or texas
CieraMariee SAVE YOURSELF DONT MOVE HERE ITS BORING AND HOT ARIZONA IS JUST THE STATE OF INTROVERTS WE DONT GO OUTSIDE UNLESS WE SWIM AND IT REACHES 122 FRICKIN DEGREES I WANT TO MOVE TO CALI AND WE HAVE WEIRD NAMES FOR STORMS LIKE HABOOB AND MONSOON
This video really helped me, I’m looking to move to Arizona from Boston!!! Sooooo Nervous about it I’m coming to visit in may. Anymore Advice you can help me out with???
I’m actually native to Arizona and it is amazing her like you are aloud to free hold and it is amazing because it’s the West out here and we still have our West laws it’s awesome :)
@Idkgirl07 Msp wtw is free hold? I had an old military buddy that lived in Tucson, AZ. We lost touch after moving there.
cool video and my family and I planning to move to AZ in a few months coming from N.Y.C...
Great video and awesome personality! Thanks for the tips, might be moving there in the next year!
No problem! I think you'll like it.
HellaCrayyVlogs my job will be located either in Glendale or Scottsdale. Any suggestions on places to live? Would like to live where I work to avoid commute especially since I won't be too familiar with the area yet. Looking to rent the first year.
The more budget friendly areas of Scottsdale are probably South Scottsdale and the Arcadia area. I'm not too sure about Glendale since I haven't been in that area too much.
@@LifeWitSed Have u ever been Rockhounding in Az?
@@evessawallace174 Nope! Never heard of it 🤔
Thanks for the info. The husband and I just made the crazy decision to move to AZ today. We want to move mid March 2017. We're both from CA & we just moved back to CA from Las Vegas, NV. So hopefully AZ Is good to us.
Thank you man for this video. I might be moving there in couple of months. I sure did thought its gonna be hot as hell, but I am moving from India.
Romit Jha move to flagataff its 80 in summer year-round
I might be moving to Arizona from Ohio in a couple of months (April).
Enjoyed your video
Ron Echols nice have good luck i did it last year it was so nice
@@atlantis5931 where did you move from?
Ron Echols UK
Thanks for making this video because your video makes me want to move to Arizona.................. well in the future😅
Glad I could help! I love it here so far. It does get a little hot, so it might not be a good place to move if you don't like heat. I haaaaate the heat, but it doesn't bother me all that much. Now if I was a outdoorsy type of person, it would suck. I'm lame and I'm not out much though...lol. But as long as you're not standing in direct sunlight for too long, you're good.
Well done! Youve covered a lot. And good humor
I was born and raised in Arizona
dont complain its too hot you'll get used to it.
HermioneAdor That's true. I like it better than snow, haha.
lmao ive been to india 10times in the summer. summer in AZ is going to be fooking nothing for me
It's May...in the coming months it will get hotter and reach about 116-118. One year it went up to 120! I been here close 27 years now. I do love the winter months. As far as the scorpions/snakes it depends on where you live the more remote you live the more you will see those critters. Welcome to Arizona!
May god be with anyone without an A/C, lol. 😁
lol
its not funny people are dying there should not be a city here
Jake Koontz People just need to limit the outdoor activties. Especially older people. It's like that everywhere. It's either really cold days or really hot days. Can't escape it.
You are such a honest homeslice. Real. Thanks for the vid.
Algea Biofuels Yeah, no problem! 😁
i want to move to there from the uk😂 i would probably die with the heat because im used to such cold weather😂 you could wear sweats & a jumper in the summer where i live😂 the highest weather in the whole year would probably be like 24° (75 degrees)
Why would you move from the UK? Seems cool there. Plus there's all of the cool accents, lol. I never knew it doesn't get that hot there though. It's been 120° here...lol.
I'm living in ireland and planning to move over to arizona for a year or two after college but I'm afraid, I'm more productive in bright warm places but I'm also afraid I'll die of he at
You really get used to the heat my husband is from Estonia which is constant rain and they have really heavy snow..now he can barely stand Arizona winters :/
Lucy Nicole cold is crazy there lol
you want die of the heat...we have a central air and lots of fans to use, plus we have aircon in our cars...lol... here...I am from the uk and live in wisconsin, but may move to AZ
Thank god I came across this video. I'm moving to az in a couple days. I have visited in the winter but this will be my first time coming up in the summer 😁 i have had my doubts of moving because of what ppl say about the heat but yes I have ppl say it's not that bad. Mainly moving because cost of living is cheaper and traffic is way better than Hawaii. Thanks for the video😄
No problem! I've gotten used to the heat and I'm usually in my car or my apartment, so I'm not outside much anyway. Just be sure to get a windshield sunshade if you have a car. Otherwise you'll melt as soon as you hit the seats or touch anything, lmao. :D
+HellaCrayyVlogs yea I just shipped up my car the other day and did put 35% ceramic tint just to be prepared 😂
+iLoV3HeLLoKiTtY That's good. You don't play around, haha :D
I am considering moving from Cali to AZ. I've lived in Flag for 6 years total. Practically grew up along the Parker Strip over the summer and I cannot pay the outlandish rent in CA. I miss AZ. Thanks for the hot top, and Congratulations on being an Uncle 💕💕.
I love Day tripping in AZ!! Park RV in Payson (middle of the state) & day trip in each direction...good times. Phoenix too big lol. Getting shot, kinda like Milwaukee.
That sounds fun! I've never been to or heard of Payson.
Great video man. Plan on moving to Phoenix soon. How's the diversity and the nightlife there?
Have anyone else notice people in Arizona are in good fit like this guy on the video from sweeting all those calories in summer
This was informative! Thank you! We might be moving there in June.
lindseys lifeNstyle No problem! What part are you thinking about moving to?
HellaCrayyVlogs hahaha that's my wife's comment! I guess she watched this video before me! I just found your video today! We're moving to the West valley area. Leaving this week! 😂👍
Hello fellow Cheesehead!! Grew up in Lake Geneva, WI about an hour from Milwaukee, WI. I live in NM/AZ now. Love the high desert regions & 4 mild seasons. Love me some mountains!!
I live on the west side of Phoenix and honestly it’s not that bad when it comes to crime as long as you’re nice to people and don’t hang out with the wrong crowd you’ll be good
celena chavez Yeah, I lived in west phoenix too. Wasn't too bad. It's mainly south phoenix that's bad.
Love your videos....so informative. I'm moving from Chicago to Chandler this month. I was going to have my car shipped but the price quoted was crazy. ($800-$1200) So I've decided to drive but now scared as heck regarding driving threw flagstaff. :( Thanks so much for the heads up. I needed to see/hear this video. Peace and blessings to you.
Meandmy2 only Yeah, it's definitely expensive to have a car shipped. If you're afraid of heights and steep mountains, I'd definitely avoid the Flaggstaff route, lol. Thanks!
I was thinking about living in the Southwest just for the winter. Recently NYC winters have been mild, though.
+MrUndecidedVoter I'd make a visit first if you're not used to the heat. I love it here. Much better than Wisconsin..
You made this the 2nd week of May. What do ya think of the weather now, after your first summer?? LOL! Spent 4 years in the 602 & loved it. Will be returning to the state soon. This is my final Wisconsin winter...DONE! lol
GunClinger Honestly, the super hot months go by so fast, you barely notice it. if you're an outdoorsy type of person or if you work outside, then bless your soul, lmao. As long as your AC is good in your home and car, you'll be fine. I'm actually in Wisconsin right now too, haha. This snow is annoying already, lol. Going back to AZ in April. 😁
GunClinger Which city are you in?
HellaCrayyVlogs Oh, no chit? I'm in Milwaukee, will be heading out March-April as well. Yeah, its hardly stopped snowing since it started on the 4th, ay?? It's giving a nice send-off to remember lol.
My job in the 602 was 10 miles from my house, and I commuted probably 85% by mountain bike, the other times by Valley Metro. It was semi-outdoor work, being a warehouse with all overhead doors open through the summer, driving fork-truck out under the sun just to stage finished orders for shipping.
The bike commute was always interesting. Saw an accident about every day. People never look to their right when pulling out of shopping centers, a lot of blown red lights and wrong way and drunk drivers. Gotta have your eyes all around you for sure.
The general rule for water intake is a quart or so an hour, so if ya get thirsty, it's getting to be too late. Water bottles became like jewelry to me LOL.
GunClinger I lived in Milwaukee before I moved to AZ. I'm in Menomonee Falls for now. I probably would've died on bike, lol. Me and heat don't get along too much, haha. I can definitely say the same about the drivers there. I've never seen more accidents in my life. Even got hit twice within a few months...lol.
lol....i am getting fed up with Wisconsin snow too....may be moving to Georgia or Arizona i am comparing weather and cost of living..next summer 2019
Rachel Schwartz Gets pretty nice in Georgia, but they get a lot more rain than Arizona does. If you can withstand the head, you might love it.
what i am thinking about GA is the storms they get....
My family and me are thinking of moving to Arizona from the UK. My dad is a service engineer and is currently working over in AZ and we hardly see him, and he really likes it there so we were thinking of moving for many reasons.
Im actually thinking about moving there to phoenix from Charlotte nc im ready for the nice weather all year around its cold as hell here in nc its crazy ive never been out west but ive heard so many good things thanks for the video
Rahmad King Yeah, it was the same way in Wisconsin. It's 77 here in AZ rn, lol. 🙌
HellaCrayyVlogs lol man its like 35. Here im just ready to get there
They have guard rails at the Grand Canyon. You may want to visit to Sedona. Enjoy AZ.
So ironic ! Im as well moving to Arizona from Milwaukee haha
Nice! No one wants to stay there, lol
Love Lana heyyyy I'm moving to Arizona in the fall! Are you already there???
I'm in Milwaukee and I'm moving in March
@@LifeWitSed right I'm tryna get out now and may need you
We have looked at some homes in AZ and were wondering about all the concrete walls around the yards? One person told me it was for the dust storms and for keeping flash flood water out of your yard, flood water! So we have only looked at homes that are elevated. We use Google Earth to find lower drainage spots and avoid them. Are some parts of the state more prone to flash floods?
BulletSpoung I wondered the same thing before I moved here. I read that it was just for privacy, safety and to keep fires from spreading. They started the brick walls in the older parts of Arizona, so I guess they just kept the scheme.
As for the flooding, there's a few maps that show the areas that are more prone to floods. Here's one: www.abc15.com/monsoon
i have been in Arizona for 17 years and you would be surprised; I just found out about Phoenix last year but have lived in backwoods aoutheastern Arizona like Bisbee, Sierra Vista, St David areas. Hella better weather out there than northern Arizona up by Phoenix which i call Nevada's blood brother it's that fiery hot. Tucson is a little better city than one would expect, rarely getting over 95 degrees tops. Very temperate in southeast Arizona fo sho
Good to know 🔥❤️
Hubby and I are gonna be westbound in April 2020..😀(his plan was to retire April 2019..)🤔..THEN we went to AZ to see our grandson this past Christmas.😃
..after we took a drive to visit Tombstone ..
It didn't take long for us to seriously think about making a big move and live out our final years together.(32yrs in May)😶😥 So hopefully ..🤔we have another decade🙄lol ..so why not live our final years there? 🤔I live with 3 digit temps too...and being close to Savannah..I can assure you it's the humidity here that kills you!😓😫😩
SO gonna trade these Rainy nights in Ga for Dry heat and Beautiful Sunrises & Sunsets. In fact those are just a few of things that make Arizona so beautiful. We totally fell in love with it. Plus I like rocks!😁😂🤣and can take drive anytime up to the Phoenix area to see our family too 😊
That was fun to watch! = D
Can't wait for my upcoming move in two weeks. : |
R. A. Hopefully I helped you out a bit. 😊😊
what I like about AZ you loose weight fast from the heat recommend fat people living in cold states to AZ shit you loose 100 pound fast in those fuckin hot summer months
great video. I'm bringing my family at spring break to see. I teach automotive, also a certified mechanic. Really curious about the job opportunities.
Definitely, was planning on moving to Phoenix. Damn, the cost of living up. I currently live live in Denver Colorado. where the rent is ridiculous high. Definitely can't afford to live here anymore. So I'm heading back to Florida. My brother lives in Chandler.
Antonio Miller It's pretty affordable in most parts of Phoenix. How much is rent where you are?
Well next year I'm either moving to Texas or Arizona so I'm a little excited.
Texas is great...just don't move there if you are a Democrat. They won't like you and they will let you know that they don't like you.
Thanks for the review. You really should reconsider visiting the Grand Canyon. Most amazing please I've ever seen.
David Wood I'm terrified of heights, so I can tell you now that that'll never happen. I'm fine with seeing pictures, haha.
Wow, I'm from green bay thinking the same moving the family out to AZ!
there are pros and cons to every state.Im from cali but i moved to az back in 92.I love it here and id never move back to cali! We have everything here i guess it depends where you actually live..I have lake pleasant,45 min away.We have sedona only hour half from me.And flag 2 hours from me..Sure summer is hot no doubt,but you usually do more at night..I use to always hit the lake..Westgate is cardinal stadium..They have everything there! bike shows,car shows, movies,clubs,restuarants, free bands playing every weekend.Arizona isnt all cactus and tumble weeds..lol
I ran across this...i been thinking about moving there from Michigan...
Felicia Hart You'll love being away from the cold and snow, haha
when u said Minnesota, i automatically felt your pain about the weather I'm from the midwest so yeah, snow sucks.
Dry heat, humid heat, when it is 110 degrees it is all miserable.
Matt Nelson Humidity adds another 20. It was 112 the other day and it wasn't that bad. Now if the sun is out, then it's horrible.
HellaCrayyVlogs, there are a couple things to do in phoenix in the summer, go to a baseball game and go to the salt river and go tubing. I lived there for 10 years and moved away 6 years ago.
I do not miss the high temps and the 6 month summers. But going tubing is a blast. ruclips.net/video/1LN55CuXX_c/видео.html
Matt Nelson Aww, that sucks. Tubing does look fun though. I'll have to try it out sometime. 😁
I live in San Diego and the past few years ,we have reach 100 degrees in summer time. So Arizona won't be that bad.
Anyone that says it's a dry heat and it's not that bad is having heat stroke and are delirious
You mind doing a video tour of AZ? Kind of a day driving around the streets in your area? that would be awesome! #nohitandruns lol
i've been living in Tucson Arizona For like around 11 years lol and im almost 13 i was born in mexico tho
How’s the life style in Tucson?
My opinions:
Pros- Best desert beauty in the country, has a few of the best cities in the country, HOT Summer, has forest, fairly cheap, good mexican food, diverse weather for those that can't stand the heat, good Winter weather, snows in Northern AZ, lots to do, has major sports (but only the Cardinals are good), has a few major universities, good places to golf, Grand Canyon, good places to hike, good places to explore, cowboy and indian history scattered through the state, good fast food, has pretty decent concert venues, lots of hidden beauties like waterfalls and secret creeks or lakes)
Cons- HOT Summer everywhere but Northern AZ (which is still hot, but slightly bearable), pretty conservative people, lots of illegals (not that it will affect you much), rattlesnakes, scorpions, centipedes, dust storms, very mediocre education in general (although there are some great, beautiful high schools in the nicer areas)
Top 5 best places to live:
Gilbert (Phoenix suburb) - one of the countrie's best
Chandler (Phoenix suburb) - one of the countrie's best
Scottsdale (Phoenix suburb)
Anthem (Phoenix suburb)
Flagstaff (Northern Arizona) - best in Northern AZ
Sp0ck Agreed!
The Diamondbacks are actually good this year as well
Is Tempe a good place to live?
Nope but I am biased because I am a U of A fan. Don't even consider living in that wasteland. You can live in anywhere else in the Valley though
Cap'N Crunch Tempe is the only place to live
I'm moving in January 2018 I can't wait. Boston is winter like 8 months of the year
ValcanoTree Nice! What part are you going to? Phoenix? I'm back in Wisconsin and I'm so sick of snow and cold, lmao.
HellaCrayyVlogs
I moved from Connecticut to Ohio five years ago and I ready to leave now that my last youngest son has graduated from High School, I'm ready for a new life...so done with the dam snow
Im glad I found this. I'm coming from the same are you did. so its a good perspective
chris fisher Glad to help 😁
Thinking of moving to Goodyear, my grandparents live there. What are the typical jobs people have there. I know Wells Fargo is a big one. Also I see most people have metal doors on their homes in addition to the regular front door! What's that all about lol. Is it that bad even in the Goodyear/ Surprise area?
I see a lot of call center jobs everywhere. I haven't seen any security doors at all around where I live, lol. Goodyear is the most quiet city I've been to in Arizona so far. I haven't seen much of surprise, but the parts that I've been in were nice. I wouldn't mind staying here in Goodyear.
i'm moving from minnesota to arizonia. the summers in minnesota have been extremely humid and it is not worth dealing with an extremely cold winter and extremely humid summer. i would prefer the heat over the cold though
i know this is 2 year later but how has it been so far? Im moving out to AZ in Sept
Thank you for sharing this. I run a company in Oregon (cool climate and very green) and will be opening a touring company in Arizona. Any thoughts as to what is the most touristy locations?
The Grand Canyon is probably the most popular. The Hoover Dam as well, but I wouldn't step foot on the bridge due to the height, haha. Sedona is a really amazing looking city. Lake Havasu is really stunning as well. There's loads more though that I haven't been to, so I'd look up some. :)
Expect to drive 45 mins for a decent job unless you live in Tucson or Phoenix
Hopefully I can convince my parents to move to Tucson😂, I wanna go there for my birthday in October, anyways, nice video
The God Harambe Only been down there a few times, but it was nice. Good luck, haha. And thanks. 😊
Wowww A throw back on they Azz💕💕
For real 😂
Very informative, thank you.
Paula Warner No problem!
Thank you for video it’s helping
I’m a teenage actor in Chicago and soon I’m moving to Arizona, I’m excited as hell cause I’ll be five hours away from Los Angeles (in car) 🖖🏾
please could you do more videos in AZ. My wife and I was looking at Gilbert area. We need a 3 bedroom but skeptical of renting apt because we have 3 children and sometimes like any other children's they like to run around at times and I just want to respect my neighbors much as possible. So a home would be great.
Hey I grew up in Gilbert. I think its a great place for a family, its stupid hot in the summer so be prepared of that like you will be angry at the heat I promise, but lots of jobs. People are mostly to themselves, its clean and quiet. Usually there's not a lot of people out walking around (cus hot as hell) and you and your wife would both need a car to live comfortably in my opinion. I would recommend renting a home for more respect for your neighbors as well.
arizona native living in cali here........tucson is where the mountains and hiking is at.....but if your scared of heights then avoid mount lemon(14k ft. ) as the road up goes along high cliffs...........with regards to arizona sports....the pro baseball team is the diamondbacks not the cardinals.....its all good though i know you havent been living there that along....Im going to try postmates out here in l.a and see if anything comes from it...
I definitely won't be doing any high mountain climbing, haha. And whoops, I didn't even catch that I said cardinals, lol. Postmates in LA is definitely busy, but parking and traffic can be treacherous from what I've heard...
yes the parking and traffic are awful for sure.....im not sure if that hinders a postmate like type job?
+Edward Sonder It definitely could since you have an hour to drop the stuff off. I mean you still get paid even if the hour is up, but that's what they advertise. But traffic or a parking spot could definitely hurt your tip. I've walked blocks just to drop of burgers. I wouldn't dare to do that now though. it's 115 today, haha. I'll be doing postmates tonight though.
I will take the heat over the snow but I wished we had more basement homes here.
Same here! I've yet to see a basement home here.
We build homes on slab so the incremental cost to build a basement is high compared to cold weather areas where you have to build footers below the frost line so you are partially there already. Plus you can hit a hard dig here if you hit rock or caliche.
@@LifeWitSed basements are super expensive. They offered them in our neighborhood in Verrado but it was at least $60K additional so we went for a big yard instead. It is cheaper to build a 2 story w/ loft than a basement here.
@@amyhayslettrealtor1901 Wow, I would've opted for the yard as well. Everyone had basements back in Wisconsin, but they're more of a safety precaution from tornados.
@@LifeWitSed Right!
It's pretty dope!! I do have my reservations tho
Its awesome your a hard worker.
Boom ! Nice job dood !!
What about Allergies? I live in Vancouver, WA right across the river from Portland, OR and the closer you get to Eugene, OR the stronger the allergies are. With that said do you see a lot of people with allergies problems.
Lamonte Haynes It probably wouldn't be a good place for people with severe allergies. With it being a desert, there's a lot of dust. Dust storms, dust clouds, etc. There's also a lot of ragweed and the pollen from those fly around like crazy. The good thing is there isn't a lot of grassy residential areas. I'd definitely visit if you haven't been there already to see how well your allergies can put up with it.
Lamonte Haynes Depends what your allergic to. some people that would you come here and think it's great others not so much
Hello Erin, I dont know exactly what I am allergic to, the only thing I do know it my allergies get bad in April and go away in June. I need to go figure out what I am allergic to.
The Grand Canyon is filled with water now though, right?
no just the Colorado river
Rents in Arizona are as high as the Bay Area in California, lots of people moving out of Arizona due to greedy landlords
Peggy Shahan I see a lot of people from Cali that live here now. I know a few people from Cali and they say they're much more comfortable here.
You're funny 🙃. And maybe there will be "buxes" one day.
In from Wisconsin too.. wanting to move to Arizona in 2018 🏜
Taylor Rose Nice. I'm currently back in WI. Can't wait to go back. 🙌
Well good luck to you i honestly would not consider it i was born in az and moved to chicago and honestly chicago is a miracle i live here . Good luck to you!
I wanna move here. I have family there. Yes friends are nice but i want to hang out with my cousins who are my age it's best for me. And i need to move on from the shit where i live. I can get over it here but it's best to move somewhere new to have a new start
Dam now I keep hearing about these non drivers, Im recovering now from a car accident with a broken pelvic so hearing this is turning me off, but maybe I'll catch the bus
Ive lived in NYC my entire life 31 yrs old, and I'm tired lol, I'm looking for a small house with my mom got about 50k cash we are still saving up, we are looking at texas, new mexico, Arkansas, Arizona, somehwre hot!!!! how are the jobs there? what are the most popular jobs? house prizes? rent? save neighborhoods?im sorry if I sound so annoying I'm just tired OF NYC!!!!
theres a lot of partime jobs
Texas is your best bet, lots of job opportunities great living areas and growing cities. It gets hot here but not AZ hot, Its a bipolar weather state but all in all lots of stuff to explore. Prices are good on houses it's why alot of people move here, you'll be paying way less on a house then what you pay for an apartment to rent in New York.
im in NY too, im moving to AZ
you ny people are going to be breathing like fish with no water in this heat lol
I'll be fine, I'm an endurance runner, and I was born near the equator my body is built for hot weather
I'm moving to Arizona from Wisconsin in a few months! how was the drive there?
I'm moving there between April and June so I have about 6 months!
brandon shattuck Nice! I'm in Wisconsin right now, but I should be back there around April as well.
Hi there Brandon, I'm a REALTOR with RE/MAX Desert Showcase, so if you need any help finding a place to live when you get here let me know! 623-252-7275
+Brian DeFord I'm looking to buy can you help
I lived in Phoenix. What I found most of all is being bored with nothing to do but booze. One day was just as the other, that was all. So I got on my car and headed west. Where was the BEACH the water the good times. You like Az well stay there.
Great video..you are so funny. I have a question. I have a child with Cerebral Palsy and I'm really considering moving to surprise Arizona or goodyear not sure yet. I have never ever been out there. But anyway is there good hospitals, programs and Therapies for my child. so far from doing research it seems there ranked#1 in special needs assistance. what you think?
Jennifer Martinez Thanks! I loved Goodyear and Surprise, even though I've only been to surprise a few times. If you're a more laid back and relaxed person, one of those would definitely fit you. As for the hospitals, I've been to one that was in Scottsdale when someone I know was admitted. I've also been to the Phoenix children's hospital when I was looking for a job. It's huge, everyone there was friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. I'd definitely look into that one if you decide to move to AZ. :)
HellaCrayyVlogs
Thanks. I'll def continue to do some research. So far i like what i hear. From the search I've done there seems to be great things for my son. Planning my move for 2019 so I have more then enough time. Thanks again. Take care
Jennifer Martinez Anytime! :)
I live in Tempe Az
Enrique Ontiveros Nice 😁

HellaCrayyVlogs im just tired of this cold ass weather...i looked up some other videos on youtube and some guy was saying alot of apartments & hotels there in Arizona are haunted & that shit kinda scared me cause me & a friend wanted to come there in may for a week n sleep at a hotel and see how it is there but that shit kinda got me scared...
HILARIOUS VIDEOS I hate the cold too. That snow is coming up, lol. I've stayed at a few hotels in AZ. No ghosts bothered me. 😅
Neither of my apartments were haunted either. Don't listen to that fool, lol..
Im thinking about moving to phoenix Arizona. But you said some areas have a high crime rate. Do you know which part of phoenix like is it the north part of phoenix or where like zip code wise? Im trying to find a job before I move there which job site did you use to apply for jobs? Thanks alot
I would pull up a crime map. I personally like the once Trulia has. Just Google "trulia phoenix crime map" and you should see it. A good site for jobs is indeed.com. There's a lot of job ads on craigslist as well.
Thanks alot for the help
+Ending Streak No problem
Ending Streak most likely wherever low income housing is that's true for every city and state ...wherever there's low income there's trouble.
Neighborhoodscout.com is helpful
on the driving thing...I think drivers pretty much suck everywhere, I grew up in L.A. and moved to nor. CAL and believe me people drive bad everywhere. I hear its a great place to raise a family?
Yeah, I can believe it a bow LA. Way too many people there, lol. I definitely wouldn't mind having a family in AZ.
