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.

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.

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. 🌵👍

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 😃

@Moon Shine Canadians can't just move there and get a job like Americans coming from another state. Canadians can visit and stay up to five months, go back for a few weeks, and then go back to AZ again for another 5 months. As long as we aren't taking jobs, we can buy property and enjoy the state. The only reason we have to come back to Canada is because of insurance and health insurance. If you leave the province for more than 5 months, they consider you as leaving the province permanently, and all the insurance gets canceled.

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.

@Moon Shine public transit would be a good idea if made cheap efficient and above all safe. I rode light rail in Sacto region for many years, at first it was all of the above, but over time it devolved and was less so in all categories. They had transit police who threw free loaders off the train in the middle of nowhere at first, but later city officials found that "cruel on the homeless" and then folks slowly stopped riding and found other means, like carpools to get to and from work. The fairs had to increase due to lower ridership and this spiral continued. I'm far from there now and don't use it but have not found any reports on its status. Same with BART, I used it when brand new, it was great, but now it is deemed unsafe by many folks, like the NY subway system. For the reasons stated above, homeless and criminals using it.

[@ronschlorff7089]

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

Is Bullhead City better to live than Kingman?

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

[@johntalbot119]

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

What is it like living in lake Havasu? Are you happy do you feel safe?

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.

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

[@ademircacique]

I love living in Arizona

[@kellyrutherford2147]

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

[@ronschlorff7089]

As you know big cities have the nice restaurants, some on the top of big buildings with bars and such, pretty nice but a cocktail, not that special, will cost you 14 dollars. That's twice now than what it was two years ago by the way, Thanks again, old Joe!! LOL

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

[@ronschlorff7089]

we are digging is trench from CA, we'll have plenty soon!! ;D LOL

[@rayk.1548]

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.

[@kristianx20]

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

I do enjoy your videos Just wish you wouldn’t compare housing prices etc with California. That’s a given as is Chicago & other obvious cities or states

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.
