Great video. The Regional Park is awesome! I love to play Pickleball and the courts are world class. Will be spending more time there next winter and beyond!

[@EscapeToArizona]

Thanks! I love playing pickleball there as well. Can't wait to see the additions over the next few years.... not sure what's going on with the waterpark now :(

Fabulous video! I LOVE your Gilbert background! I hope to half as well when I do my video of Bethlehem, PA

[@CeboAquatics]

Thanks for this video. relocating to Gilbert with my job and there is plenty of negative news about the recent spikes in coronavirus. ... nice to remember back a few months ago to all the great things to do there.

[@EscapeToArizona]

Hey! My pleasure!! Let me know if you need any help renting or buying. In my opinion it's not as bad as the media is making it out to be. Something tells me this will all be over in November. But still, it's smart to be vigilant!! If that's the term...

[@cyndigirl418]

Great video! I'm planning to relocate to the Phoenix Metro area next summer. So far, I really like Chandler, Peoria, Ahwatukee and now Gilbert since I've seen this video!

[@EscapeToArizona]

You should! Great areas!

Small world ! I had a class with you at UIC and a commercial came on KZbin with your mug haha. I wholesale real estate in the Milwaukee area. Basically I source off market properties and sell them to investors. Arizona is the place to be for reale estate / wholesaling ! Congrats on the channel and your move to Arizona.

So glad to hear this , because I bought an investment house there in 2015 , looked at it for 5 minutes , bought it , never been back. Been rented steady ever since, tenants love the area Now that I hear this , Im considering what I never did before , which is try living there to see how I like it. Sounds like it would be great!

[@EscapeToArizona]

2015 was a good time to buy! If you have any questions let me know ;) [e-mail]

Gilbert Arizona is so Wonderful

[@EscapeToArizona]

It's a pleasant place to live that's for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Cakeenerdd]

Currently live in Los Angeles, looking to move into a more affordable home. The only thing holding me back is extreme nerves. I have an autistic son, so schooling is always a nerve wracking thing for me.

[@EscapeToArizona]

Hey Reanna, Sorry for the late reply. I have a few friends in the same boat that live here. LMK if you'd like to chat w/ them.

[@paulineturski1476]

What water areas can one take out a kayak?

[@EscapeToArizona]

I have a video on this coming up within the next two days!

[@gemini6828]

I've been to Scottsdale, Tempe and of course Phoenix. My husband and I love the desert. My only concerns about moving to this area are the black widows and tarantula's. Also have two dogs, a lab and boxer/lab. They're used to a nice fence in grass back yard to run around and lay on when they're hot. Most homes in the desert don't have grass but rock. I"m curious how people with larger dogs play with their dogs other than having to walk them on a leash or take them to a dog park.

[@EscapeToArizona]

Hey Gemini6! I totally understand. I'm happy to address. I've seen a few black widows outside near our AC units. I have not seen any tarantulas since living here. A lot of the newer subdivisions do indeed have grass and there are a TON of dog parks here. It really is a great place! Feel free to reach out with any other questions. [e-mail] Have a great day!

[@jimpurnell1117]

There are always tarantulas, snakes, scorpions black widows in arizona don't kid you're self, some areas more or less than other's ! Good luck

[@StevenzGuitarCovers]

Curious how you feel about all the apartments being built in the area and the rezoning to accommodate more medium density regions over low density houses and commercial buildings. Gilbert has changed a lot over recent years and a lot of people are speaking up in outrage. All the farm land is disappearing.

[@EscapeToArizona]

Growth doesn't look good to a lot of people. More housing is needed here and they are finding ways to accommodate. I'm fine with it personally but totally understand those that are opposed.

[@StevenzGuitarCovers]

@@EscapeToArizona Where people are upset is the rezoning for Aprartments. Less houses and commercial businesses going up, loads more apartments everywhere. Builders aren't sticking to their master plans in favor of profits.

[@EscapeToArizona]

@@StevenzGuitarCovers Right.. guessing you're specifically talking about Morrison Ranch? That would definitely be a bummer if you bought a million dollar home. I'm seeing a lot of new build communities opposing even commercial and gas stations being built by them.

[@KS-op5hb]

Where can I research prefab home communities ? Looking for my mom who is close to retirement . Curious if any are 55+ focused and avg purchased costs ?

[@EscapeToArizona]

Hey KS. You can find some manufactured and mobile homes in MESA that are 55+. Shoot me and email to [e-mail] and I can fire some off to you. There's also some in Chandler that are nice as well.

[@DM_Kat]

What is the closest large body of water - like a river or lake?

[@EscapeToArizona]

Hey K.B. There's the salt river nearby. They control the height with various dams. My kids "wade" in that often. There's also Saguaro Lake and Canyon Lake. They are about 45 minutes away. The drive from Gilbert is stunning! It's an easy expressway drive to the mountains and then about 20 minutes INTO the mountains. Lake Pleasant is about 1.5 hours away if you're looking for something with wind sports as Canyon and Saguaro Lakes are surrounded by mountains (makes for a great view when kayaking) :)

[@pappynotpapi2070]

What’s the temperature like there? I’m from yuma and it’s crazy hot in the summer, so I’m just looking for a place that’s a little cooler.

[@EscapeToArizona]

Hey Pappy. It's pretty hot. I'd say look a little further north. Maybe Prescott. Email or text if you'd like to chat. [e-mail] / 480.612.2219

Relocating there to open a new office. Let me know if you have any insight on new construction Homes. I am considering buying instead of renting an overpriced apartment in Scottsdale

[@EscapeToArizona]

Hey Jesse! There is definitely new construction available. Different price points and home styles as well. Definitely worth a look! Shoot me an email or a text and we can go from there! 480.612.2219 or [e-mail]

[@jimmyperullo947]

Great information, thanks for sharing! I would recommend you do something about the audio quality though. With headphones on you get a lot of fuzz in the background. Might even be able to keep using the same mic and edit out the white noise somehow.

[@EscapeToArizona]

Jimmy.. thanks for the heads up. I'll try swapping the audio. I should have used the denoiser in premiere :(

[@gdogg98433]

HOA? All the houses have them?

[@LisaSabala]

Gilbert really seems like a family-friendly, kid-friendly, and biker-friendly place! These are amazing reasons to move there! Thanks Ryan!

[@EscapeToArizona]

They are! It's a great town to live in!

[@chris7285]

I know it’s ultimately my fault that this town isn’t compatible with me but I really do like this town. I am proud to have been raised in Gilbert. Gilbert will always be my home but it’s not very easy to live on if you messed up and made some mistakes in your past as a younger person. “Successful people” come to live here or stay to live here. I lived in a nice house in Gilbert as a child but my family was dysfunctional and ultimately ended up breaking apart. The house was big and I had all these materialistic things but I lacked a stable family. I don’t mean to sound like a victim because I’m not but I do wish Gilbert had some options for young people like me who didn’t quite have the right caliber growing up. I worked with what I had and I still came up short. I get ostracized for my shortcomings in this town. Gilbert just doesn’t feel like a place where I can support myself financially with its lack of public transportation and lack apprenticeship opportunities. Tempe and Chandler have the jobs I want in manufacturing and lots of opportunities for losers like me who didn’t follow the blueprint properly. It’s easy to assume I was just some punk who has no moral compass but I was actually quite well known for being very kind and generous but I think I grew up being TOO Generous and kind. I was bullied a lot at school and abused at home by my father.The suffering never ended until I finally moved out. But now I am left with nothing. No car, no college degree, no friends, no stable job that can support a single person like me. The only way this town could work for people like me is if it had more public transportation and more apprenticeship programs. Until then I will be hanging out in Chandler or Tempe where I can find better job opportunities with lots of overtime. I will have to live in a town with thieves, crackheads, thugs, etc for now all because I was too weak.

@@EscapeToArizona Chicagoland! Western suburbs to be exact!

[@EscapeToArizona]

@@patricklee4316 Ugggg... i was in brookfield.. went to LT and RB.. and SE Gross in brookfield... Let's put it this way... i think the schools here are comperable.. My GF / Baby mama was a teacher at OWEN school in Naperville. We sent our kids to the best school in the Western suburbs as well. at the end of the day it depends on the parents. There are plenty of great schools here and charter schools. you have to find what fits your kid...if you want someting with no sports and all academics.. there's BASIS. otherwise a lot of great other schools that will do the job with good parenting. It's tough to realize, but if you keep on your kids in IL or AZ they will do well.

[@EscapeToArizona]

[@patricklee4316]

@@EscapeToArizona such a small world! I love how many Chicago transplants are in the desert. We have visited twice in the past year and have called in love with the area. So we actually don’t have children, but my fiancé is a teacher. She currently teaches in the Oswego school district. So not only would she be worried about our future children, but her own career. And I totally understand that. We would probably move right away, but then she saw where Arizona is ranked in education. We would love to move chandler or Gilbert though.

[@Keewi3]

Please stop grouping all of us Californians as a collective. I'm a registered republican who lives in California, and with all the BS that's been going on lately. We have been researching into Gilbert, AZ extensively. We have 3 little ones that are growing up fast, and family values is very important to us. Not all Californians are Libs, and not all of us share these far leftist ideologies either.

[@EscapeToArizona]

Thanks for watching guys! Hopefully we can all just get along and live happily ever after :)

[@alexmorales3484]

Gilbert is great for Families. Don't move to Gilbert if you are young, single, Gay and Black. You won't fit in. And the people that live in this area will make sure of that. People around the area tend to lean Conservative. It's not a very diverse area and it lacks that community cultural feeling you get in East Coast Cities. Gilbert is beautiful but what's the point of living there if you can't enjoy it because people are racist and homophobic.

[@EscapeToArizona]

I haven't seen that kind of hate here. If you've experienced that I'm definitely sorry that happened to you.

[@fkylw]

No, don't come here.
