A lot of opinions on here. Do as you please people. I’ve lived at 52 degree north latitude in England, 7000 ft in the mountains, the pacific NW, Southern California and South Dakota. Have any of you truly lived in a cold climate? If you have, you’d understand why the heat and a state with so many terrains like AZ is so desirable. My wife and I have a final destination and it’s AZ now. We’ll be in touch with your channel 😊
Went to Phoenix for the first time last year and it’s very similar to the San Fernando Valley. Interestingly, both Phoenix and San Fernando Valley have a population of about 1.5 million people. I think LA folks will get a déjà vu feeling.
I live 1 mile from the ocean in NJ. so, we might miss it. one of our concerns is that the flight is so far from going back to visit the east coast..... LMK how you feel about being that far away.
I moved here in 2010 from MI. I HATED MI. In MI there were 2 nice months where you could be outside and enjoy nice weather. May and Oct. Summers were too dang hot and humid during the day, and too many bugs in the evening. I spent my whole life. Sitting inside staring out wishing I could at LEAST SEE sunshine. Nope. It is cloudy there from Oct to April almost every day. There may be a few clear and sunny sky days in the winter, but those were soooooo cold! And bright. Sun reflecting off the snow is so bright you can hardly open your eyes. Down here we rarely have cloudy skies. Those are days when we might actually get rain so we get a little excited about them. But no matter how hot it gets, you won't have to shovel it. And you won't slip on it and break a hip or slide off the road into a ditch. You go from your 75° car to your 75° house. You can sit in your cool home and at least see sunshine outside. And for me (I've been here almost 15 years now) I am acclimated to being outside (in the shade) up to 109°. At 110 I stay inside. So there may be 3 months where I don't play outside. In Michigan there were 2 where I COULD! I live in a bedroom community SE of Phoenix proper. I love it here! People are friendly; climate is dry and easy to breathe; even our "small town" has all the big stores (many of them - several malls, etc...); world class healthcare; and a LOT of things to do. I do wear light weight gloves in the summer to protect my hands from hot steering wheels and door handles. Most businesses cover theirs. Monsoons are over touted. Less rain here DURING the monsoons than in Michigan in spring! LOL this years we had a Non-soon - no rain here at all. I lost track but it's been more than 155 days without rain. Dust storms - maybe 3 or 4 per year. Not everyone sees them, and you just stay out of them! I Always keep a mask in the car (I have lung disease) so as soon as we see the cloud coming (they are obvious) I don a mask. Have you seen pics of (Usually Mexican Men) under a tree with bandana around their face? Those who work outside here do also. Dust is bad for lungs. When I go back to MI I'm like "It is sooooo green here." That's a real thing. But It's the least of my concerns. I have a monthly pest control service that keeps pests away. If you hear crickets here you immediately call them. Crickets chirps are a dinner bell for scorpions. I have never seen a big snake. I pretend they are other places. LOL NEVER let small dogs or cats out to play by themselves. Large owls and eagles will swoop down and snatch them up before you can grab them. Keep a leash on them is your best bet for saving them. The food??? I find the food here very good. Many good restaurants and bars with good food. But I live in Gilbert... LOL
Yes, we will likely hit 100°F on some days in May and October. I’ve heard they have plans for water, and Arizona seems to be managed better, with a focus on planning ahead.
Plus the urban heat island effect, skews the records. Just take it away from concrete and it’s damn hot obviously, but in the desert it’ll be 110 for those months. I’ll take the sun over the clouds because taking Seattle and England and the arctic cold of South Dakota. Trust me. Try those climates for a period of years not just visiting.
The one thing that bothers me most about AZ (and NM) if you have to either have a VERY expensive filter in your house, or buy drinking water. NEVER DRINK TAP WATER IN AZ. WE have both an R/O system under the kitchen sink for pure water, and also the machines that you put big 5 gal bottled water in. It's pricey either way.
You tried real hard to sell Arizona. The worst thing about living in AZ is all the people that have moved here in the the last 40 years. It used to be a great place to live until you all arrived and drove the prices up. Now, more Cali people are moving here. Go to New Mexico.

Yes it is! Only difference I would say is Phoenix metro is newer.
Do you do rental properties? Or can refer any rental realtors?
Hi! Yes send us an email at shantjhomes@gmail.com. Thank you
No water

Similar to my brother who lives in Atlantic highlands.
How often would you go back and forth?
Yes you are in the same situation as my brother who lives in the Atlantic highlands - How often would you fly back to NJ?

Phoenix is running out of water. Also, the earliest 100 degrees ever recorded was in May the latest was in October.
Yes, we will likely hit 100°F on some days in May and October. I’ve heard they have plans for water, and Arizona seems to be managed better, with a focus on planning ahead.

Besides the heat,I find the desert ugly and depressing..
Really?!? What landscape is your favorite?

Totally understand your concern of all the people moving!
