Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

In 1989 I was a security guard there. There were only 2 homes finished but the infrastructure was ready. I remember the 2 lakes were finished and I would be the only human for miles around walking around them. It was an amazing project and I'm humbled to see its success.

[@Lavender-doll]

Such a wonderful drive....I appreciate this....loved this!

[@trubadorphotography2541]

My friend (and former dog groomer) JUST move to Goodyear with her elderly mom three weeks ago. They love it there! 😎

[@rachelt2482]

Really enjoy the tours! Hoping to find a place in the next year or so. My sister lives on the west side, the jet noise is frequent during the week but evenings and weekends are quiet. Thanks Jeff!

[@jaybee608]

Simply beautiful! 👍🏽👍

You shoot the best videos! Very much appreciated!

Thanks for sharing! Moving there and this is exciting!

Fountain Hills 💦💙but that’s also a Park I’ll check out. Great video 👍🏻

[@cyndigirl418]

Very pretty!

[@joahash7411]

Great video Jeff!

[@NOT-WOKE-007]

Just an FYI. The Gila River is still very much alive. It may look dry, but the water still flows under the ground. Also, when it rains, it is very full. I live here.

[@exploringwithbellanoche1286]

Thanks for the upload video, make want to leave Seattle and move to Arizona!

[@scelzitimes]

Thank you for this tour. Was not aware what this “west” side of Phoenix looked like. Would enjoy those fighter jets flying over anytime as a reminder of our pilots and their crews who go above and beyond normal to be the best.

[@ericgamez8213]

I moved from California to Goodyear 5 months ago. Now I'm currently having my house built in Verrado. Move in next month. So far I'm enjoying Arizona as much as possible nowadays.

[@BreezeWithAfrica]

That’s what I want to do. Move there from California.

[@Moco925]

I'm looking into moving to AZ from CA as well

[@DD-ee2nv]

@@Moco925 Why is everyone from California moving to AZ? California is gorgeous.

[@280zone]

One thing to keep in mind about Goodyear is that Air Force base is active (in normal times). Meaning you need to remember there are fighter jets flying around frequently. Many people move there and then start complaining about the noise.

[@kevintunaley5079]

That is the sound of freedom !

[@chrisllang8055]

Also Goodyear is a good 8 miles away from the flightline. I used to live right across from the runway in Litchfield Park and it was not a bother, especially when it comes to feeling safe and FREE. I live in Goodyear now and we can hardly notice the air traffic from Luke AFB.

[@mamatemari6061]

My dad and stepmother should move out there when they both retire

[@YesIwrotethat]

Hi, not knocking that area but lived in Estrella Ranch for about a year. Worked in Phoenix and felt like the community was too isolated and took 20 minutes to get to the 10. Ended up buying a house in Gilbert. East Valley is more developed and there are more highway options to get to Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe etc..I did like that the neighborhood had block parties and people wanted to know each other. People keep to themselves in my new neighborhood.

[@caesarminor482]

I don't know if I like Goodyear or queen creek better. What would be your choice between the 2?

[@xvelmateo1659]

Surprise is good place too

[@davidparnell3241]

My birthdays next thursday!

[@mamatemari6061]

My Aunt and her 3 boys used to live out there until she passed away in 2008

[@TomMack530]

Hey I live in a RV you need to do a video on that , thanks

[@zayala2601]

How far is the Estrella Mountain (communities) from Gilbert/Mesa/Phoenix?

[@chrisllang8055]

15 miles from Phoenix, approx 35 miles to Mesa.

[@OCWatchCatMEOW]

You missed CantaMia

[@cjmcclellan4371]

Made me want to put my next duty station at Luke Air Force base

[@Pro4xexpeditions]

When you doing surprise!

[@shastafog2516]

Yikes, paranormal sightings of all kinds Phoenix lights delta came from that mountain range Cattle mutilations and strange reasons for fighter jets to chase UFO's American Indian stories of that mountain range and portals. Scary.

[@zeppusa]

I live their I don’t feel bad energy

[@DD-ee2nv]

Great tour. Beautiful area but WAY too far out for me. I need shopping areas all around me.

[@miketreadwell5654]

was this ranch owned by the TREADWELL family in 1863?

[@JH-in5oq]

My wife and I can’t wait to get to Phoenix. We plan on buying a house in a year or so. Goodyear looks great!

[@kaithillmann3202]

At 7:23 in the video he shows the Lucero homes from Pulte homes. We just signed on the vacant lot you see that is farthest away, next to the last complete home. Was one of only a few left so we bid and won last week. Decide on Estrella over Verrado mostly because of costs. Verrado is very nice, but homes are a bit more and golf is DOUBLE the price! There are more homes being built in Estrella deeper in the neighborhood.

[@DD-ee2nv]

@@kaithillmann3202 Pulte homes are very low quality...be careful!

[@kaithillmann3202]

@@DD-ee2nv I wish we had a choice. They definitely would not have been my first choice but the builders monopolize the developments.

[@Goldnmom]

This is our pick when we move out there! Loved the video! We were out there checking out places and fell in love with Goodyear. We wanted to go out again just to see more places but now with COVID it will be a while. Wanted to see Peoria and Gilbert, how do they compare? What’s your feedback?

[@kevintunaley5079]

Estrella Mountain Ranch is likely the nicest looking area in Phoenix metro, Lots of people sit near those fountains around dusk and watch the sunset. It is still kind of an island of its own which is one of the best parts of the place, yes you do have to drive a bit more but once your out there it is a lot more peaceful. When no covid19 stuff they have their own firework display, they also do food truck nights and car shows near the big community center with the pool. you will love it if you can handle the driving

[@kaithillmann3202]

Catherine, we just bought one of the vacant lots you see at 7:23 in this video. Moving from Oregon. We toured Chandler, Queen Creek, Gilbert, Goodyear (Estrella only), Verrado and Litchfield Park. We wanted a quiet neighborhood away from Phoenix but plenty of things to do. Estrella fit perfectly for us (empty nesters!) Some things to know about EMR. They have a $13,219 tax lien on every lot. That means it's a tax for you if you buy in EMR. You can pay it bi-annually for may years, pay chunks, or pay the whole thing off when you want. It's really not bad and didn't keep us from buying when we see what you get from EMR. HOA is $111/mo but you get all access to the gyms, clubs, water park etc. Golf is also a very good deal for such a nice course. Full annual pass for a couple is $4500. Verrado was about double that.

[@VanEssa-56]

@@kaithillmann3202 is this what they call the CFD tax? (some people refer to it as a Mello-Roos tax)... I’m close to purchasing in EMR; the sales agent told us we will have an additional (CFD) tax and that we’ll be paying about $3,500 in total taxes a year. Any info you have on this is much appreciated. Thanks.

[@kaithillmann3202]

@@VanEssa-56 yes exactly. CFD tax. It's $13,200 over 24 years. You can pay on it however you like. Pay extra, or pay off early. Our house is in the Lucero neighborhood. Will be done in June!!

[@VanEssa-56]

@@kaithillmann3202 good info, thanks! We’re looking at the Montecito neighborhood :-)

[@shamlove0]

Nice Jeff I want live there

[@jongallant6054]

Lots of cars on the road with air conditioning. If you have to work outside to make a living. You will turn into a angry person over time. The Jets are being converted to freighters.

[@russliberti5879]

What does that even mean lots of cars with air conditioning?

[@path6598]

so are these little lakes just for viewing, never see any action on them.

[@kaithillmann3202]

Oh no! You can kayak, paddleboard, sail and even fish!! (catch and release)

[@280zone]

The airplanes are parked for Covid 19. A lot of airports are parking lots. Oh and they are Tract homes not Trek homes.

[@lukeplassmeyer5942]

No it's not that type of airport..I go past every day..the huge planes are always there..only little two seaters take off from there..

[@280zone]

@@lukeplassmeyer5942 You are correct, Goodyear Airport isn't an AirForce base, Luke Air Force base is on the Northern edge (Flight path) of Goodyear. I have an ex-Air Force friend that lives way South of the Air Base (Estrella Mountain Ranch), and loves the sounds of freedom but has mentioned a lot of his neighbors aren't big fans. I only mention it so prospective buyers are aware.

[@Peakbase]

I fly out of Goodyear 2-3 times a week and the parked planes has to do with COVID. The planes are parked there because of the Aersale company which is an Aircraft maintenance, parts and refurbishing outfit based at KGYR.

[@chrisllang8055]

Actually this aircraft is there all the time, Goodyear Airport is mostly a maintenance facility and some storage for aircraft. Lots of light airplanes fly in and out of there as well.
