Living In Mesa Arizona Pros and Cons

[@TALONTEDGUY]

As a native from Mesa.. these are the top 3 pros and cons. Pros: 1. Killer money to be made. Tons of jobs and there's no red tape to the hustle. Mesa wants businesses to thrive. Mormon community is solid and they want everyone vested who lives here. 2. Salt River. Tubing, Kayaking, Biking, swimming, BBQ, Fishing..ect. This is a Mesa must in Summer. We live in the water here. The river is becoming overcrowded, but the 6am summer kayaking trips are legendary. 3. Proximity to everything. Watersports, shooting, biking, hiking, Snow in Winter, Sedona, Top of the World, Natural Bridge, Lakes.. not to mention all the food and entertainment. ++ San Diego, Rocky Point, Vegas, Utah are super close to road trip. IMO, spring training is great, but its only like a month long. Mesa loves the payday it brings to the city, but is celebrated by locals as the beginning of the end of snowbird season. Cons: 1. Lightrail in Downtown. Basically lightrail brought the crime in Downtown. I do see it diminishing when ASU starts up because campus police will be everywhere. Kudos to Council for thinking about that aspect. 2. Air quality. Its trash. Moreso toward Phx, but its getting gnarly. Its hot, the landscapers newer stop blowing and if the wind blows, there isn't rain to clear it up. Asthmatics beware. Better have AC Filter budget. 3. Population growth. Its condensing and the sprawl never ends here. Pick a direction. Straight-line monotony. Every 5 miles its the same plaza with the typical 4 or 5 franchise goons. Pro runner up: Bikini Season Con runner up: No rollercoasters Zoner till I die.

Lived in Mesa from 88-97 when it was new. East Mesa by Val vista and southern. Power road was the end of the freeway.Superstition mall was new. Went to visit 3 years ago. It’s so run down now.

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

Hi Mike, I had to chuckle when you said East Mesa at Val Vista. I know when I move here it was the east end too. Now Val Vista is central Mesa. It has changed so much. There are small areas by the mall that are run down as they go through transitions. But other areas have gone through the transition and look great.

You obviously have never lived in Mesa. Downtown Mesa is not only beautiful, but it is also very easy to navigate and bike/pedestrian friendly with numerous parking spots.

Thank you Diana!

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

Thanks for watching Kim!

[@JordanDrewVideos]

I moved out of Mesa in 2021. If you're thinking about moving there, be prepared for 1. Smog and dust in the air 2. Everything being spread out (lots of driving) 3. Terrible roads

[@malena7362]

Where would you recommend living in az then? I want a safe place #1 priority.

[@JordanDrewVideos]

@@malena7362 I would say Sedona, Prescott, or even Flagstaff if you can adford it!!!

[@malena7362]

@@JordanDrewVideos thanks Jordan I’ll look into it. Mesa is just close to my job 😒 . I also have a little weenie dog and I’m scared of scorpions . Should I be worried about this?

[@JordanDrewVideos]

@@malena7362 I never had a problem with scorpions in Mesa, and I was outdoors a lot!

[@malena7362]

@@JordanDrewVideos great news because honestly I’ve heard horror stories. 😬. Thanks .

And Mesa Police Department!

Unfortunately there is drug use in every city. But there are also beautiful areas in Mesa too!

I think this is just video to make content not a personal perspective. I was looking for an opinion

[@frankbayer3787]

Con i was not able to walk to my car in the parking lot after coming out of the Aquarium trip because it was so darn hot 🔥

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

The summer does have its challenges!

[@frankbayer3787]

Ok

Looking for best place to find snowbird rentals

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

Feel free to email or call me with the details. I would be happy to help you with this.

[@huntii]

How is the rent ? I am moving alone to Mesa for work. Will give me $1000 a decent apartment ?

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

Most apartments begin at $1200-$1300 in the Mesa area.

[@iou13504ever]

Awesome

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

Thank You!

[@tazmack]

Mesa police are out of control. Just check out the KZbin videos on them. Even though I am totally law abiding, I would be very afraid to even drive through Mesa, mush less live there.

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

I really believe that the videos are skewed to scare everyone. I have never had any problems. I have not heard of anyone else having problems. I really think you can feel comfortable coming in the area.

[@tazmack]

@@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate Just watch your local news. How many cops have been fired? How many beat detrainees? How many cops are pettty tyrants? Just watch your local news then get back to me. Here is another example of pety, out of control cops kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6iXq5l_irGNqqs&ab_channel=JamesFreeman

Good, they should be hard. Phoenix is terrible. We don't want it like PHX.

[@AA-mi4zg]

That's not a Mesa accent. This isn't Wisconsin.

[@MadMax31577]

What about the homeless population? I live in Seattle now and I want to get out of here, and that's one of the main reasons why.

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

I am originally from Minnesota. But I have been here for 30 years. I didn't think the accent was noticeable anymore.

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

There has been an increase in the homeless population, like most places. But nothing like Seattle.

[@MadMax31577]

@@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate I was in Arizona last week. Compared to Seattle you have no homeless problem

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

@@MadMax31577 Yes, Thank goodness. I hope we never get anything like Seattle is experiencing!

[@frankbayer3787]

Go rent there for a month first

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

That is a good idea!

[@grhtex]

No water , unsustainable growth.

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

The growth has been crazy. Fortunately the state is working on future water solutions.

[@grhtex]

@@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate I have some family in Mesa. Went for a visit in June of 2021 and was astounded by the development east of Mesa and up to the Apache junction superstition area. Seems like the root of the water problem is a diminishing snowpack in the Rockies. Not sure how the state can fix that but we'll be rooting for y'all! Meanwhile come see us in Michigan if you want to see water, but don't plan on any pipelines !

[@EastValleyArizonaRealEstate]

@@grhtex We can come up to Michigan for our "snow fix". Next time you visit your family, you will have to come in winter and take a break from the cold.

[@bigmike9433]

It's funny how people that don't live somewhere are know. Why don't you do some research before you make such comment.

[@lady4191]

Pros and cons from a rich white lady hmmmm

[@caseycalvert9832]

A white lady trying to discredit another white lady's opinion because she's white hmmmmm. You're a fool

[@timmcaleer6024]

Lady Lady don't like white people. How nice 😁. If you won't move to Mesa, count me in. Don't you have a riot to attend?

[@MadMax31577]

How do you know she's rich?? Maybe you think anybody with a job and wears clean clothes is rich.

[@MadMax31577]

And what if she is a rich white lady? What’s wrong with that? Take your mind out of the ghetto
