We moved to Star, Idaho before everyone else does! • MOVING TO STAR IDAHO S...
I've been in Arizona for 8 glorious years but the time has come to load up the family and the truck and move to another state. Having a baby during the during the covid-19 outbreak has been quite difficult and the 116 degree heat doesn't help the situation. We are leaving family and friends and our dream home behind so this has been an emotional decision to say the least. We are very excited for our next chapter though as we look towards a place with 4 seasons, where you can snowboard in the winter, wakeboard in the summer and mountain bike most of the year. A place where the beer flows like wine (j'k, dumb & dumber reference). We are moving to Boise, ID! The market is booming up there and we're hoping to get in before the rest of the west does! I look forward to future adventures and many more videos up in the potato state!

What's up everyone!? So stoked to have you here at the Active Dad community! My name is Jimmy and I have an amazing wife named Meg. We live in Arizona with our son, Brady, that was born in January of 2020. He such a sweet, happy boy and has learned a lot already. We got him a helmet to fix plagiocephaly around 5-1/2 helmets so be sure to follow along with his progress! My wife and I are both very active people who love camping, hiking, mountain biking, snowboarding, wakeboarding and many others. Probably the thing that I'm most excited about with being a parent, is teaching my kids about all the fun activities there are to do in this world that I love.
We post multiple videos a week and would love to have you follow along on our journey!

We moved to Star, ID sight unseen and we never even visited the town! - ua-cam.com/video/7XQcgaC8vQY/v-deo.html
Lucky!!!
I think you will miss Arizona more than you think you will. It's just as cold in Idaho as it is hot in Arizona. You may find being camped in the house for five months of the year not as much fun as you think. I do hope you enjoy your move.
We considered moving to Arizona but the 120 degree summers and uncertain water situation swayed us. The recent 50% increase in housing prices was final nail in the coffin.
I live in the high desert in Arizona and have been here since 2017.
Never seen it get hotter that 101! LMAO just do some research before you move here!
120° is few and far between....plus, it's a dry heat!!
And get a pool, you’ll be fine
@@greglander5227 no leave it we don’t want that type of ignorance here
@@greglander5227 it's most definitely been hotter than 101😂🔥
We're leaving in Arizona more than 40 years. Every single summer ,we said ...we gonna move away from this hell hole.. . 40 years later we still here.
This is wrong aditut. 😕 After 24 years leaving Europe we moved to LA and Illinois. Smog and earthquake was not for us and the baby. We heard about Arizona how beautiful state it is.This was 47 years ago
and we still live here.😊 We have beautiful winter 7
months and yes ,hot summers we call it our winter. We at least can go outside for walk or swim.Mornings and evenings are fantastic and we don't have to clean the snow or look for tornados or live with earthquake. We love you Arizona!
Did you know that Arizona's education is ranked #46 out of 50? Not great for a young family. Did you also know that in 2020, Phoenix saw a record number of days over 100, 110 AND 115 and that weather experts predict that it could hit over 130 degrees regularly in Phoenix in the second half of the century? Didn't want to wait around to see if that became a fact and watch my home value decrease. Here's a fun read for you...www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings?int=top_nav_Overall_Rankings
@@ActiveDad you seem to be trying to defend your personal decision to move to a location you didn't even visit. Yes, starting out in a new location is exciting when you've decided to hate where you've been living. People live all over the place, so because of personal, business or family (etc.) reasons people live where they live. Many people live in a town, state, region that they don't like but got stuck because of family, job or lack of funds and so on. Hana Vesely liked their decision to move to AZ. I live in a suburb of Chicago and I know what Hana is talking about. AZ is my first pick if I get to finally move from this very low rated state. The Chicago Machine rules and is taxing people to death.
I agree but please respect their choice
@active dad, You're hanging your hat on the "expert's opinion? I've lived long enough to see most of their predictions turn out just a little different than what they proclaimed at the top of their lungs. Just make your decision and run with it. If you have to justify it, you are still trying to convince yourself, and you appear to be trying to convince others as well. Live and let live.
@@Pedro-0839 Gilbert Classic is a phenomenal school. Chandler Unified has some of the best schools for academics and some of the top schools in the nation for HS sports.

Wow so overpriced
Yep
yep that is what I hear too ,west coast vibe fact lot's of west coast have moved there changed it's vibe in several ways cost of living is # 1

@@jeromedenis4754 Arizona
I moved to Arizona from Los Angeles, California in 2007-2009... I’ve been waiting to move back to Arizona. Nothing like Cali BUT Arizona beats it out in the long run. California has been ruined by politicians.
"I can't go anywhere with a baby except to the doctor...... My 10 thousand square feet palace with a closet the size of a garage is just too terrible to behold! After 8 years - wait, Really man!!!!!
My thoughts exactly.
Yep. Talk about a narcissist. Whoa is me for living here, that I need to make a video about how I feel. Sheeesh. This guys’ got it so good. Some people are never happy. Boise is a beautiful place, but he’s gonna find a lot not to like up there as well.
Brother YOUR in FOR IT IDAHO GETS VERY COLD DUDE
Spot on, I live in New England and would take heat over winter anytime and speaking of heat we just went through six weeks of 90 plus degree heatwave and that was with high humidity it’s brutal, I think this guy just hasn’t lived long enough to know better.
We’re moving to Arizona from Nebraska. Hell no the snow is 10ft in front of my house. It’s 20-40*F from October to April with snow. Too dangerous
Bye snow!!!
I'm doing the same. Currently live in Omaha Ne and getting ready to move to Mesa AZ
instead of having one big house I bought two smaller houses one in Colorado for the summer and one here in Apache Junction Arizona for the winter
Many places in the valley of the sun to live. Gold canyon, apache junction, Gilbert. Love it down there.
Lived in The Valley of the Sun for a few years. I still have relatives from Tucson to Mesa to Pine-Top Lakeside; so, AZ has a special place in my heart. The summer gets hotter and hotter each year. The traffic and the pollution, especially in Phoenix, has become more like L.A. traffic. Yet, one cannot deny the natural beauty of Arizona. Superstition Mountains to Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon, just absolutely beautiful. Though I never thought of Idaho, I have know several of my colleagues that hat have retired and moved there. Have fun in your new state. Keep your goals and dreams in focus.
trumptards will argue about the summers getting hotter
@@jjuanmarin You mean godless liberals people who believe in anything goes? People who think that Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t defend himself? I think you have it backwards
@@jjuanmarin Blieden panty riders will ruin AZ
@@jjuanmarin Has nothing to do with Trump. El Nino supposedly is responsible. So take it up with him🤣. Some years are hotter than others. We had a great summer monsoon last year but the year before was extreme drought. Everyone thinks it gets hotter and hitter but really not true if you look at graphs from back 50 or more yrs
I live in AZ. Decades ago, my employer sent to me up to Boise in October to help figure out why a franchisee was having a hard time. I absolutely LOVED Boise - and that was even a long time ago. The air was so fresh in October that I felt as though I was breathing in a Tic-Tac. The place was clean. The people were wonderful. And what struck me the most, I think, is that Boise was a small city that felt so much larger (in every good way but no bad ways). I hope you like it up there!
That was then what about now
@@oscarrlee18 Hello Tobius (I love the "Onthebrink"). I've seen some UA-cam videos about Boise and all it has going for it, but I haven't been there in decades. I would hope it hasn't changed too much. You might want to enter something like "Boise tourism" in the UA-cam search field and see what pops up (positive and negative).
@@oscarrlee18 I've been to Boise quite a few times, including last year. I've always liked Boise, there are lots of places to eat and drink downtown, and downtown always seems to be hopping. And if you're a motorcycle rider like myself, in fact everytime I've been there it has been on a motorcycle trip, there is some great riding around Boise and southern Idaho.
My so lives there now it's expensive not so Cal expensive but 70 percent. And it does get freken cold
I lived in Arizona most of my life and rarely ever lived in Phoenix. And to tell you the truth I rather live up north than south where it's basically always summer. At least up north, we can Always rely on winter to give us a break from the long hot summer days.
Beautiful home , you Had to do what’s best for your family ☺️
What’s not for you Is a dream come true for someone else. Some people get tired of the heat others get tire of the cold, some get tire of the big cities and others get tire of the small towns and rural areas.
I moved from Kentucky to Oro Valley 3yrs ago, do not regret it at all. Kentucky is pretty only 6mos out of the year, that's just the look not the weather. Let me explain, from October to late April it's brown and dead looking because the plants go dormant from the cold. The other 6mos are green and pretty, but it rains at least 3 to 4 days a week, literally twice as much a year as Seattle lol.
The ground so wet it's like walking on a sponge. The winters can be brutal, -20 degrees windchills, the Summers can be 115 to 120 with the heat index. So I'm fine with the heat which is not as bad as Kentucky to me. You can't get away from the humidity even in the shade back east. Here in Southern Az the weather is awesome almost the whole year, plus there are 9000ft mountains next to us to see snow, and come back down to 70 when you get tired of it. To each his own. Good luck and enjoy life, it's short 😎
I have heard that living in Kingman,AZ is at least 20 degrees cooler than Bullhead city in the very hot summer months!
It all depends on where you are in life (Young, old, retired or not retired). The summer here in Phoenix is hot, no doubt, but the other eight months of the year are beautiful. I couldn’t stand any more bone chilling Wisconsin winters. A few months of heat is nothing as far as I’m concerned. Everyone is different.
I lived in Az for 25 years and never got used to the heat, I bought a house in Kentucky on a lake, it snowed 4 times and wasn’t even that cold . The local people said it was a brutal winter LOL.
The thing you mentioned about the rain in Kentucky. That’s the reason I’m leaving Florida upon retirement within a year or two. Most outdoor activities are ruined by rain! Whoever named it the “Sunshine” state is crazy. Will be heading to Phoenix, Tucson or Vegas and leave The South in my rear-view mirror!
@@PETER394100 Luckily for me I like the rain and I don’t like outdoor activities ( one of the few people who would rather be inside)
I'll take 4 to 5 months of heat followed by 7 to 8 months of pleasant weather over 4 months of pleasant summer weather followed by 8 months of snow and cold.
Wow, Wow, Wow, beautiful everything , except the heat, I could understand why you really hate leaving. God Bless your new journey, i will keep you guys in my prayers. be safe and careful love’s.❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Saw your OTHER video first ... it showed up on my UA-cam feed. (The "moving" video.) Your home here in Phoenix IS beautiful and I'm not surprised where you chose to move. BOISE is one of the hottest cities on the market right now. I've lived in Sacramento (loved it) and I also lived in Colorado for 14 years (Boulder & Loveland -- couldn't stand the cold and snow OR the barren landscape). Also lived in Tennessee & Omaha, NE (loved those places too.) I can see why you love this home so much but I can understand the issues with heat and raising a family. Your videos are very helpful for the information you share as well as entertaining to watch. 👍
Thank you Carrie! I appreciate that!
The problem with 4 seasons is that 3 of them are cold.
True dat
wow! You must have one heckuva budget if you can/could afford that much a home at your age. I'm 58 and I couldn't afford that! Especially in this market, your dollars will go very far in Idaho. Hope you can handle the winters!
He is going to be rethinking things after about 3 winters....trust me.
@@davisholman6518 🤣🤣
He's moving because he is downsizing.
Since your 58 you should be more then aware of the saying..."believe nothing you here or read and only half of what you see"
The majority of this crap on UA-cam/social media is bull💩, fake, it's all to views, likes or subscribers
@@Darronsanderson he states that it's because its too hot🔥
I would never sell that house!! You will regret it down the line bro
Had nothing to do with the house my dude
His home in Idaho will appreciate just as well. So many people from CA are moving to Idaho. Hes right , Idaho is shaping up to be the next Colorado.
Damn - if you had kept that as a rental you would have at least 50K more...
@@davisholman6518 Remember the moratorium on evictions? Sure get someone in there who doesn't pay rent for a year. A real money maker!
Correct!
I love when people declare that they are leaving Arizona because they became shocked to discover that it gets hot in the summer. Hot summers in Phoenix aren't a new thing. What'd you expect? Ada county Idaho is very nice though, in almost all categories. It does get hot there in the summer too though, cold in the winter sometimes too. I remember 30 below zero a couple of times when I lived there for 4 years. I'd implore anybody to look up the temperatures and other weather statistics of any town or city that they are considering moving to.
well, this is really mostly an ad for his house....and moving to Idaho is for mostly 'investment' purposes....he already stated that....and you know....Arizona's hot....
Arizona is running out of water. Water..... let that sink in.
@@stayfocused1041 What are you talking about this last monsoon as eason this summer was the most rain Arizona has gotten in 5 years. Sedona is an awful place to live, everyone here knows its overcrowded
@@aidanobrien4987 the Colorado River is drying up.
I think what he’s saying is his tolerance for it is gone good choice
You have to do what’s best for you and your family. Sometimes in life, changes are going to come, we as humans have to understand that life is all about making changes because if you do not change, your life will not change. Sometimes change is good for the soul and it will also give you a peaceful outlook on life because you will understand that fear doesn’t exist in your life because your mindset is all about changing from within to make life more adventurous for you and your family. God bless you on your journey.
I ❤ the architecture here in AZ
The Heat!
Better than the Snow I think.
Same. I came from the Northeast .. nope! I’m AZ to stay! All the best to them tho!
@@LadyLeoASMR Same here. I left Ohio 25yrs ago. Headed out west. The snow looks so pretty(on TV). I do not want to drive in it any more.
Yep I live in New England winters it’s very cold have to drive in ice snow no sunshine for months in the winter I’m over it ready to move
Nah snow it better, that's why I live in Flagstaff 😂
It doesn't have to he either or.
Your house is beautiful. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to make. I'm surprised at all the negative comments. Looking forward to watching your videos from Idaho!
Been in AZ for 14 years. Only 3 hot months. I love AZ and the "heat" will never be an excuse for me to move.
There is a different definition of "hot" depending on one's ability to tolerate it. The very bright sun
and intense heat have affected my health and when l moved to the Valley of the Sun l had never heard of Valley Fever.
🎯🎯 I just made the decision to move back to Arizona. I truly love & miss that heat & sunshine!! 💕
When I lived in Phoenix, I was using my A/C like 6 months of the year since my apartment was small with only one window so there was no air circulation. The summers suck but it's nice 8 months of the year there. Monsoons can cause bad flooding so I hated driving during storms last year!! It was always fun going to spring training and D-Backs games!
Sorry to hear you left AZ!! This is great place to live.
I would take the heat over snow, hurricane tornadoes, earthquake!!
I love the snow! I would take the fresh air it gives better than the hot n heat AZ give you
That is a very nice house! I do understand about the heat tho. After twenty years we are talking about a new destination as well.
Your home is certainly beautiful .🌺
I hope it all works out for you and your family ..🌼.
Yes, it's to damn hot in the summer in Arizona. You made a good choice in Star Idaho
I suffer from chronic asthma. I go to bed wheezing, wake up wheezing, can't go on vacations because I end up in the ER. I am miserable on a daily basis. I have taken two trips to phoenix and after 3 weeks my asthma goes into remission and I am off my biologic injections, rescue inhaler, steroid inhaler, singulair pills, and prednisone. My business is based in NYC and my biggest challenge is getting someone to cover for occasional onsite visits so that I can leave. Few will hire someone in their 50's and with Covid I am not taking any job that requires me to be around other people. It's almost within my grasp but it isn't. You are very fortunate to have no such limitations.
That's interesting. My grandma moved to Phoenix many years ago but had major breathing issues. She was in the hospital every single year. Breathing machine a lot. The whole nine yards. After 30 years, she moved back to NY and she dramatically got better.
Interesting - NYC is in a cloudy area and you felt better in the sun. Ever have your vitamin D level checked? You get vitamin D from the sun.
Just curious as to what type of work this guy does to afford such a beautiful home at a young age with a wife and baby. My small house is a dump compared to this and I'm sixty but it's paid for. I live in the south, the summers didn't seem bad when I was a kid, but now the high humidity keeps me indoors most of the summer.
Probably something in tech.
8 years ago that house was affordable in AZ.. what’s not spoke of here, he made a killing on selling that place, probably tripled his money. Idaho will soon turn into places like they’re moving from because of ppl with this mindset. The best affordable place to raise a family is the Midwest, hands down but being tired of the cold, AZ is the next best thing 🤷🏻♂️ but all personal opinion and perspective… actual AZ suuucks DO NOT MOVE HERE!! lol
THANKS for let me know about Arizona weather.Love your video.And your home is beautiful.
Beautiful home. You must do & go where it’s best for you & your family. Wishing you luck & blessings in your new endeavour.
We just sold our house in Fountain Hills with a beautiful backyard and beautiful diving pool, we moved to Eastern Europe, I really miss the architecture, the colors and peacfullness and sunsets in Arizona! Ah, really beautiful💓 I hope you find your new cozy home:) All the best!

Ya buddy! Fishers Landing Resort! I spent the winter there in dry camp.
Wish you and your family the best in your new journey. 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience
God Bless
I don't want to live in a gloomy weather like the rest of the country. I love AZ it has the most beautiful & diverse landscape of any state.......the sun will always light up your day. Drive up north for 2-3 hours during the winter and you'll be skiing or snowboarding. Coming down to the valley, you'll be met with a beautiful sunny weather in the 70's.
Idk man. I’ve been depressed ever since I moved here 7 months ago. The sun is just too strong here. White people aren’t built for this climate lol
It is very sunny in the Boise area of Idaho. But, not hot like AZ.
@@caroleanne8529 I've actually been thinking of moving to Boise
@@ianhop If you are going to buy, you have to spend some time in a place to know what you are getting into.
Man I lived there there for 22 years tooo hot yes it gets depressing in summer moved to san antonio you can do any outdoor activities day or night humidity here is alright 👍🏼 not like az 118 degrees..
I also wanted to moved out of Phoenix because of that unfair heat weather. And not only that, I also hate Phoenix because the neighborhoods. Especially Maryvale. The reason why Maryvale may suck is the neighbors. They stare at me, they yell or sometimes they even try to be your boss which seems annoying. Another two reasons why I hate phoenix is because I struggle to get friends, I feel like I'm the dumbest person in this city because I don't really communicate with no one because of the extreme shyness. Also I remember that I was the most bullied student in 7th grade. Also my family seems to act like if I wasn't even human. I feel like I wasn't even a skilled person in Phoenix because I didn't dare to join clubs in school. The reason why I didn't join any club in school because I feel like I was just a noob like i was never going to be able to practice even if I was focusing.
Sometimes I was the wrong one. I remember that I used to take my dog out without the leash and so that's the only reason I agree why are the neighbors getting scared. And one more reason why we hate Phoenix is because we're one of the most stressed out families in Phoenix Arizona. and again because the hot weather doesn't even let me take a walk at the noon. I feel like I'm locked in the house for the whole day because of the hot weather, The neighbors who yell me for everything for little to no reason, and the pandemic that also sucked here because there was nowhere to at least cool down such and pool or stuff.
I love Phoenix, but I'd recommend living in the suburbs such as Chandler and Gilbert. Maryvale is not really a good area. Phoenix is a lot friendlier than Tucson, will say that.
Healthy Super Edurado Don't sound like a Phoenix problem sound like you got personal stuff going on.
oh wow thanks for making this video. I have thought about moving to Arizona but it seems like all the complaints are coming from the weather being so hot, so i think im going to go ahead a pass on Arizona and stay here in Georgia for now.
Great video. Hope you are enjoying Idaho. I have heard a lot of good things about it up there. I want to visit the eastern part. I use to live on the east side of the valley of the sun and greatly miss it. I call Arizona my second home. We truly had a great time living there. So much to do in Arizona, nice weather. I do not like the cold and love the heat.
Stories about the heat is scaring me. Just moved to Arizona from Minnesota. I just hope I don’t regret it. So far I’m loving it.
It’s hot here in Phoenix but I think of it as the opposite problem of freezing cold in the Midwest. You stay in your a/c during the hottest months and then enjoy the beautiful weather the rest of the year. Midwest is chilly to downright deadly cold six or seven months out of the year, then hot and sticky in the summer. I lived there for sixty years. Arizona is better by far.
It beats the Midwest I’m sure, but not the Northwest. I’m missing Washington after a few months here.
@@ianhop I have never been to the PNW but hear it is beautiful. People do talk about the grey, rainy days though. Is that an issue?
Initially I found the heat more tolerable than the winters in the Northeast. However, as time has passed the summer heat here seems more extreme and I have become less tolerant. I wouldn't mind a place with more balance, if I could find it.
@@brucegoolsby1470 I'm from eastern WA for the most part. It's dry and sunny there. You still get snow is the winter though (most years). Western Wa can be gloomy, but at least you're not battling snow for months on end. Just lots of rain in the winter. Makes everything green though. Summers are so nice.
Funny, when this video came out I was in the process of moving from Idaho to Phoenix
@Jake295A, Can you share your considerations? From Idaho to Phoenix? I think for me, Arizona and the heat, would be welcome. Seems like the cold brings body aches, but could just be me, lol.
Beautiful Home! God bless! Be well and Happy in your new home!
MY Husband and I also left and moved to the Midwest until our children Graduated from Highschool and after moved back to Arizona to retire. I don't regret our decision. Good Luck!
Awesome piece of property! I wouldn’t let it go unless it’s financially straining
I know how it is to leave Arizona (where I was born and lived for 42 years). It was everything I knew, but had been visiting my childhood friend who moved to Middleton. So when I decided to move, I had one great friend here! We visited Star so many times. Bought fishing licenses at the Star Merc! Her husband taught me to fly fish and we fished down by the Star bridge! Go to work, and come home and go fishing! Such a great lifestyle. I left AZ for the same basic reason you did....could no longer take the heat (and traffic and commute to work). My sister's a realtor, she has sold a few homes here sight unseen by people (from OR, WA and CA and AZ).Your house in Mesa was gorgeous.... had you ever had scorpions? I have never seen a scorpion here yet! Bonus!
I'm out by Bullhead and it is the hottest part of the state. My neighbor decided to go grocery shopping in 120 degree weather...he was wheelchair bound. He couldn't make it back up his ramp, fell out of his chair and died. I found him. I'm old too and walk with a cane. After 30+ years of living here I am very afraid and dread the summers.
Hey why not move to a more pleasant cooler city or town, live among Seniors with a caregiver to assist you as you age?
Denver is a mad house from what I hear from folks who live there .
Sorry, video made me laugh, we moved to Casa Grande in April. Lived in Boise, born in Mtn. Home, hated it. Lived in Denver, Aurora, hated it. Spent most of my life in Cheyenne Wy oh Wyoming. Hated it. Love AZ, the heat is brutal but nothing compared to 40mph winds with snow. That wind chill gets in your bones and you are reminded that you are getting older every year. Someday I will leave AZ and you never know it might be Wyoming again or FL or Saint Croix, lol
The temperature in Aruba never gets below 80 degrees!
I’m sure that it would apply to the other Islands nearby.
Pick your poison. Threats of hurricanes every year in Florida and the Caribbean.
I move from winnemucca nevada to vail az area.
@@robertrivera5597 Yep - homeowner’s insurance because of hurricanes is high.
Heat outside is really not a option nothing you can do about it , cold you can go out outside dressed right .
We are actually moving from Colorado Springs to Phoenix...more Mesa area. You will miss the heat. Also snowboarding in Idaho is very average. Shoulda came to Colorado Springs for the things you listed.
115° isn’t for everyone. But honestly it’s getting better in terms of public transit, nightlife etc. and we are a short drive away from California. I’ve really grown to love Arizona but the heat is soooo brutal.
Get a car with remote start, this will be a wise investment even if you take the bus! On days I take the bus I will open my cars app when I’m a few stops away, and start it. Boom cold bus to cold car to cold home. Also useful for the grocery store.
I love this state but the heat I don’t know how much I can take. I only have these unfortunately expensive workarounds.
Born and raised in ca not ever leaving I have beach,snow,beautiful mountains all within mintiest drive :)
Yeah, but California has turned into a 3rd World Sh#thole. I lived in Thousand Oaks most of my adult life. Moved to Sedona, Arizona 2 years ago.
I said the same thing, moving at the end of the month, can’t stand it here anymore.

@@tuw2528 LMFAO, I am an stationary engineer for a water / wastewater utility. I lived in Thousand Oaks, one of the best cities in California. Obviously, you don't know very much. Sedona is one of the most exclusive cities in the United States. Rich people by the hundreds are moving here because of how bad life is in California.
@@douggzilla5620 so Thousand Oaks is a 3rd world country? LMFAO I wouldn’t call Sedona exclusive, go to slide rock and see lots of trashy people there.
Plus fresh drinking water is fast becoming a problem so with all the other reasons it is a good choice to get out now!
the south west is in water crisis right now, and not looking to end anytime soon...and the water so mineralized it clogs home water regulators...
I am from The Seattle Surburb and have been thinking about relocating to Arizona because I got tired with the rain and cloudiness. Your video makes me rethink lol.
I've lived in Phoenix and Seattle. Stay put, my friend. I live in Ohio now and I love it.
Gu tu Quan Make that move from Seattle to Arizona you will not regret it. Seattle and Western Washington suck ass.

lived in 9 states because military. Arizona is my favorite by far. But I personally hate cold weather and clouds. outside of short vacations. all perspective i guess.
Lived in AZ in the past I love the heat, now I feel like going back
Looks like a great property! I live in Tucson and would never go to Phoenix due to heat although some go there FOR the heat. Incredible. I’d need a full time gardener for that property though. Good luck and good for you for daring to do what you love.
Hows the crimes in tuscon? Especially vehicle theft
@@Carnage6.0L Up 84% but equal to the national average.
Wow. You have what every family would dream of a Paradise Home. I love AZ but I am 61 yrs old and no kids. My Fibromyalgia gets bad in Ill where I live now and my whole life but the hot dry heat does well for my Fibromyalgia. I do understand your feelings and all and with raising a child too. You seem like a very smart and highly intelligent young man and you research everything before you do it. All the Best to you and your family.
My wife is from Idaho and I’m from Southern California. I lived in Idaho for four years and believe me the winters are long and cold. Housing prices have been driven so high by people like you moving there. The cost of housing has been driven higher than what the average Idaho worker can afford. If and when the housing bubble bursts you better like living there and you better like the house you buy.
Housing prices are high for multiple reasons... Shortages on wood and other things to build houses, inflation, and Millennials who make up the majority in the US are leaving cities and flocking to cheaper places because they want to buy houses. I'm from southern California too and everyone keeps saying how its all our fault but like I stated there's multiple reasons as to why the prices on homes are sky high.
Agreed. After watching it snow May 1st many years ago in Coeur d' Alene I said to myself, I have to get out of here. At that time jobs didn't pay shit, and I suspect they still don't. Even healthcare wasn't common. And here's the thing many may not think about. Your income in your working years affects your social security in retirement. So it affects your entire life. I moved away to an area where I could make much more money, and as a result I will also receive much more social security.
@@kassie4426 but a lot of it is the fault of Californians, and I say that as someone who grew up there. California has some of the highest housing costs in the nation, so a Californian can sell their home, move to another State almost guaranteed to have lower housing prices, and they can pay cash, even bid up homes they really want, often far above what locals can afford. Too many expats in areas of Mexico for example have done the same thing, drive up rents, and home prices because they have more money than the local people do.
@@dh2392 And how do you think California got to be so expensive? Everyone from other states and other countries came here in huge numbers for years. I understand that California is playing a part in AZ home prices rising, but that's because Californians can't afford it here because everyone else drove up our price of living. There's a lot of factors as to why Arizona is becoming expensive. California is just a fraction. People from all over the US are moving to Arizona because the majority of the country are Millennials who can't afford homes. Inflation is another problem. Houses are expensive everywhere right now. The snowbirds are also a problem since they buy second homes in Arizona.
@@kassie4426 as far back as I can remember, California has always had some of the highest housing costs in the US. Why? The weather of course. If I could afford to live in San Diego, or Santa Barbara, I would, but for a couple of the most expensive cities in the US, they are not also some of the top paying cities in the US.
We moved 40 years ago from Amsterdam to L.A. it was our dream after visiting CA many times, after a couple years the dream ended when we discovered Arizona and a new dream started. We moved to Carefree AZ 3000 ft and after 36 years we are still happy, although a little bit cooler than Phoenix the whole valley of the sun is great to live and affordable also the schools are very good if the zip code is location, location stupid. ASU. Anyway good luck with y’r blind move to …Dad.
Who told you Phoenix was affordable and that the schools were good?! 🤨😅🤦🏻♂️ Fake News! We’re last in the nation in public education, and PHX is one of the most expensive cities in the country.
Los Angeles is terrible crime everything is expensive and it's definitely a homeless sanctuary.
The altitude in Carefree is actually 2400 ft., not 3000.
I love how all the commenters are hating where they live....Please don’t come to San Clemente. It’s Paradise. Not moving nor complaining. Thankful everyday! Peace out ✌️ People. Enjoy your life on earth 🌏 because time is short.
Moved to AZ from upstate NY 30 years ago, never leaving..! Had a dream one time, had to move back to the cold, was more like a nightmare. Good luck…
Arizona's probably the best place to be during covid If you're not born in Arizona you're never gonna get used to the heat Arizonans are just tougher than everybody else
Gorgeous property. Well done video. I have a million things to do and yet here I am watching and commenting 😆
Love your video, what an absolutely gorgeous home! My dream is to retire in Mesa Az. May I ask, what do you do for a living? Just curious, thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us!
Yes it was an amazing house! I was a senior estimator for a construction consulting company but have since stepped away from my career to watch our kids part time while my wife works and I work on my video production business.
Really made your dream a Reality!!! Love this ❤️
Best of luck to you and your family!
Where is this house and the location in Arizona?
Best of luck to you! I love Arizona because it’s my home state and I love visiting my family there, it truly is a wonderful place…but I haven’t lived there in 15 years. It’s not for everyone. Hope Idaho is a better fit for you and your family.
So I agree with this video a ton and I'm also looking to leave the area. Goodyear has been good to be but its time. Thanks for this video although it was from last year.
Built a home in Moon Valley section of Phoenix, Az. Lived & worked there 20 years. 1976-1996. It is so dry hot. Once 122 degrees. We had aerators on our giant pool yet still very warm, lemon trees & lush backyard near a park. Now, living west coast Florida 22 years in a gated 55 + community. Air like velvet, less dangerous, less crowded. Just remember you sit in a sauna but you don’t sit in an oven.
Phoenix heat awful. My father summed it up on a visit from Massachusetts in August. On landing @ Sky Harbor, as we left building, he said I have landed in hell. Jeanne
My sister also came out during the Summer to visit us in Phoenix area - I tried to talk her out of it and come in fall or winter. Too HOT for her. I laughed at her. Where are you going when a Hurricane hits Florida???
😂 hell is accurate
BOISE IDAHO!?!?!?! LOL I was completely surprised good for you I hope everything works out for you and your family! We are getting ready to be snowbirds ourselves ☺️ I love living in Arizona we will be here in the winter's and Summers we will be elsewhere who knows maybe Boise Idaho? 👍
Definitely don't snowbird in Boise during summer. Gets super hot in the summer. I'd consider Seattle's Eastside. Or Minneapolis suburbs. Vermont maybe.
I agree I'm in Tucson. Can't stand the summer heat
Kids are grown. Soon as my condo sells. Ozarks of Arkansas here I come
Boise is a nice choice also
I saw you commented another time but may have deleted it but it's funny to see all the salty people commenting that Arizona heat isn't that bad. I assume these people grew up or live in Arizona so I get it but I bet there isn't one person who doesn't live in Arizona saying, "Oh I bet 50 days of 100+ and 90 degrees in March isn't that bad." I don't know if everyone realizes that in 2020, Phoenix not only hit the record for most days over 100, but also most days over 110 and 115. Weather experts predict that Phoenix will be unlivable as early as 2050.
@@ActiveDad returdicans say is a hoax
It's the best movie you guys could ever made that's from someone that's been here since 1979
Moved to phx in1952, I was just a kid, nothing at all north of sqwaw peak mtn. Now retired 100 miles north, mild winters, about 17 degrees cooler than phx here at 5k ft. About 45k people.
Winters are great here. Summers suck! Hope your enjoying Boise!
I wojld have totally agreed with you for the 8 years i loved there but now that it snows where I live, I wouldn't have winters any other way! It actually felt like the holidays this year
@@ActiveDad not missing Arizona?
@@Mav0585 not one bit
That’s a beautiful property! I moved to Arizona from the NY/NJ area with my family. We stayed in a apartment for almost a year before buying our home. I was very surprised at how you get way more house for your money. Especially compared to here in NY. Well we bought a house and I loved the house! But I began to really not care for living in Arizona because there was not a lot of diversity, I miss having different seasons, it was extremely hot and it just wasn’t what I really wanted. My family and I ended up moving back to NY and we decided to move upstate Ny, which was the best decision ever! We don’t have all the space that we did in the house we had in Arizona but we are much more happier that we weren’t afraid to say this isn’t it and not be so attached to a house. I wish you and your family the best!!
Congrats, all you eastcoasters who come to the southwest are really just searching for you peace and happiness, but like I told my friend who was a transplant from New Jersey, happiness is where your heart is, your family, your roots, you choose to make New Jersey your personal hell so you can also make New Jersey your heaven on earth. It is all a state of mind. My transplant friend was a white guy living around all Mexicans , he just never fit in no matter how open he was. He was here all alone with his girlfriend, they had no friends, no family no roots in Arizona all they came with was a pipe dream. I’m glad my buddy decided to go back home to New Jersey, he is much happier now and looks more calm, I miss him but I would rather him him work on himself were he’s from then in some foreign town with Mexicans who he never lived with . You don’t need to leave the east coast to find your peace of mind. You need to fix yourself from within and you could live on the moon and be happy good luck
@Tasha Rogers, I appreciate your story. Living life includes trying new things and sometimes it doesn't always work the way we think it. Nothing wrong with that. I like that you all were honest and realized Arizona was not the place for you. Many people get stuck and bitter in situations like that. You were able to move back east because you realized it is a better fit. Upstate NY is a nice spot to land. Enjoy!
Glad you left!
Everything is an adjustment especially going from the east coast to out west. I lived in colorado, moving from NY, culture shock but I adjusted fine. I’d adjust well to AZ, cos the winters in NY suck, its overpriced here. And not a great place to retire not for me. But the Midwest, southwest is a lifestyle a huge adjustment for a NYer. Florida is getting overrun with ppl from NY so AZ is the next best thing
The citrus trees are what had me. A beautiful home indeed looks like my dream home but not my location always loved the idea of Arizona but between the bugs and heat 😩. Still a great place tho good luck on your endeavors
I went to Boise for the recent solar eclipse. It was August and the weather was really nice and probably in the low 90's. I couldn't get over how green that area is, but they have water everywhere so that is a blessing. However, I would only live there if it was the moderate summer months, as the rest of the year, it's brutally cold. I would take the dry heat over freezing cold weather, because at least you can get out outside all year long and be comfortable. I hope they love Boise, beautiful place(summers).
The weather in Phoenix is like Death Valley, torturous.
Try winters in the Midwest. Your fingers and toes go numb in a matter of minutes.
@@7775Kevin I grew up in Massachusetts and can definitely relate. I remember waiting for the school bus in my parka coat in 2 degree weather.

@@ActiveDad thank you
Born and raised in Arizona
Currently a Peoria Az resident....
I wanna say Good bye thank
You for your visit. Take care.
In Arizona I remember as a kid running through the sprinklers, getting soaking wet, and even my long, thick, curly hair was dry in ten minutes. Temperatures of 100 to 120, six months out of the year, and the only place with AC back then (the 50s) were the stores. We'd go in the stores while walking home from school, just to cool off along the way. So, yah, Arizona is hot and always has been. It's a desert. Leaving your support system might not be a good thing. I made that mistake once (Denver) and moved back. It was a very expensive lesson. But, everyone is different so good luck and hope you do love your new home.
Left Oregon 22 years ago, no regrets, we love the sun. Covid? I've given it as much attention as any cold and flu season, none.
Getting vaccines is more of a selfless act to help protect the people that are more vulnerable than you.
Get vaccinated. I have lost people to covid. It is NOT the flu.
You left a fantastic beautiful piece of property most people can only dream about. There is a reason Idaho has never grown. I don't get this love affair with Idaho that had recently happening. Some people have to go over the border into Washington. I remember when everyone was rushing to Seattle and Portland. That got ideally old when depression set in from the rain and gloomy days. I knew a lot of ones that moved there. There is snow everywhere. Up there work may be hard to find too but maybe you won't have to work with the money you got from that gorgeous piece of Arizona property. Sounds like you are a kid in a candy store with all that snow. Enjoy it why you are still young and able to shovel it. Life is short and you are blessed to be able to live where you want😁👍🏼
Ever heard of a snowblower? Canadians deal with long winters every year. I don't think Americans are much weaker.
@@leeham6230 Did you ever here of Canadian Snow Birds who Rush to American warm States in the winter if they can afford it. Probably a lot more would like to come but because of the expense and other reasons they can't. Just the other day I heard Florida a were complaining when the Canadian come rushing in they raise the price of the golf course and it gets so crowded they rarely can get on the golf course. I grew up in the bone chilling cold Snow and rain. I couldn't wait to grow up and move somewhere warm and I did and I never looked back. Eventually my family followed me. Life is precious and short. I don't want to spend one moment digging my car out of snow in freezing wind. Good for you and all the strong people who love to do it.. I'll just stay in the sunshine where I love it 😁
@@kimhicks4781 Again, have you never heard of a snow blower?
I have the best of both worlds. I live in North Idaho eight months out of the year and travel down to Phoenix during the winter months. I live in both places and prefer North Idaho. Less traffic, smaller population and less crime and less homeless people running around. With Biden opening up the southern border, he’s looking to destroy Arizona and Texas. Not sure how many more winters I will be able to go down there because of what the idiots are doing that are running this country now.
@@BANDIT2DAY Right. From the border they scatter everywhere. Don't get why they are doing this. Especially when some have Covid. In Brownsville they tested just over 1000 and just over 100 tested positive that was released in their community. Heard on Fox news the other day.
I like four seasons to that's why I live in Arizona you can go up north to see that but then be back in the 70 degree weather in the winter time. I wish there was more people that thought like you because the traffic is crazy.
I love northern Arizona...Prescott area...cooler in the summer 😍 some snow in the winter.....a slower pace of life.....its a beautiful house...and will sale fast...
I think you’re capitalizing on the real estate boom and advertising your home on UA-cam. The heat only lasts 4 months and if you have A/c it’s no big deal. This is just a real estate video to capitalize on the excessive price in AZ right now
No real estate video needed, house sold before I even posted this video my dude.
AZ is overrated CA is still the best place on the mainland but too expensive if that wasn't the case no one would move to AZ except retiree's.Beautiful state AZ but it's people that make the place great.
Stumbled upon this video, ironically. I'm a 35 year resident of Arizona, my husband even longer. This house looks like a TWLewis home, really similar to ours. We have 1/2 acre, we built it and it's gorgeous. However, it's too large to care for and....the heat. A few years ago, we bought a summer home in northern California and we're preparing to move there fulltime. Mild weather, regular neighborhood, tons of outdoor activities and, oddly-enough, going to be cheaper to live there. I'm purging and packing and crying a lot. I get it. I will miss so much about living in Phoenix. You've got to make the right choice for your family and I hope it's all good in Idaho.
Enjoy your new home in northern California! We looked at some small towns over there pre-pandemic where we toyed with the idea of moving.
What part of northern calif are you going to move in? Some places like Chico, Redding, Sacco, etc,… are Hot too. Just curious. I am living in the Bay Area, weather is really nice year around. My daughter is in Boise and we plan to live there when I retire soon. Enjoy your new place
Sold out at the top and left AZ, got a house for cash in the midwest and not missing it much outside the sun but as a whole calmer life and HUMIDITY.... My nose works again, I can actually breath being away from the haze and dry air.
Excellent location!! It's a beautiful area! Best of luck!
I love Arizona and yes, its hot during the summer but the rest of the year is great! better than deal with snow for months. I didn't know a newborn needed to go out all the time in a pandemic, like any other state covid have been a problem but no like to move out of the state, people from other states are coming here because there is no a better life in other states either, but if that makes you happy, just enjoy your life!
Who said anything about dealing with snow for months? And who doesn't want to spend the majority of their time outside!?
@@ActiveDad What snow, huh? Just because we have snow in Sun Valley doesn't mean Boise is snowed in.
You will return. This is the pit, you fall in and you don't get out. I and my family caught covid like 3 times and we recovered. Well? See ya. Wish you the best. It's hot but rest of the year is amazing. From dry heat to humidity? Nope I will not trade it. Duces✌️
Not humid in Boise - not hot either.
I would have just stayed at the crib in Arizona smh you can tell the vibe is nice and laid back too
How much is the house? Informations? How much it costs your monthly utilities? Taxes? HOA, etc…Thanks
If there’s no jobs available in AZ then it would definitely makes sense to move to economically healthy hot spots like the Treasure Valley area in Idaho; and Provo-Orem,UT!
Arizona rocks.
The heat is real but , homie, that house is a dream home for sure! I would love to buy it
Just back from San Diego a day ago...my 8th week for this summer. Only way I can live here in the heat. Don't blame ya for moving!
