The wildlife! Local “critters” consist of lizards, bugs, scorpions, the occasional coyote, and depending on where you live, rattlesnakes too!

thanks for all the tips, you are both very chill, i appreciate the advice

Awesome information. I would rather deal with the heat and "wildlife" than deal with Midwest winters. I'm so over snow.

Good stuff! Thank you. You two are fun to watch 😊

Very entertaining and informative watching you guys!! Thanks so much!

You guys are awesome I stayed in Chandler for a year I’m looking forward to coming back appreciate you🙏👍🏽😊

Great content! I plan on moving to Phoenix sometime this year or next year, so videos like these are clutch.

Loved your video! Been in the valley since ‘95. ❤️😎👍 you guys are great.

💕 this video. This was really great info. Planning to move after summer. New subscriber. Thanks y’all!

Thanks for the information trying to move over there from IL.

Y’all cute! Thanks for the info. Moving there this year, can’t wait! 🤗

thanks for the video. Just took a roadtrip from illinois to move to arizona!

“Because we’re white.” ..... “I’m not.” I laughed out loud.

From someone who’s been here 10+ years...people will tell you to “avoid the avenues.” I live just into the avenues, and rent here is cheaper than it was in the suburbs. I’m within 10 minutes of three freeways and the light rail, and tons of shopping too. LOTS of great restaurants in Uptown/Biltmore/Arcadia too, please don’t write off those areas if you’re looking, especially if you want a more urban environment. Scottsdale is very overpriced and touristy (I used to live there). Tempe is GORGEOUS and has the lake and tons of parks and outdoor activities, and cheaper than Scottsdale, just get south of Broadway if you’re trying to avoid the college scene. Laveen and Ahwatukee are nice and still decently priced, and it’s a pretty short drive over to Chandler. Careful in West Mesa...I used to live there and it got VERY sketchy at night. Wherever you live, make sure there’s at least a community pool, you won’t regret it.

We stayed in Gold Canyon for 4 days the first week in Feb. '21.....Loved it so much that we returned Feb. 18-26....stayed in North Scottsdale this time....we have "snowbird" friends that live in Scottsdale (foothills)....cousins in Tempe and SunCity.....thinking about moving here half the year...

Thanks for the Info. I'm thinking of moving to Phoenix.

I enjoyed watching you guys lol. Thank you!! This video was so helpful! Currently living in NJ but looking to move to AZ June 2022!

yay art scene!! thanks for all the information

Charming couple...I'll be back!

I worked at the airport when that happened. But they have updated there charts since then and now they can take off. I agree with the transportation here. You only mention the east side. But there are the cities in the West side. Glendale Peoria, Goodyear, Tollison, Avondale, Surprize, Suncity,. Some of the riches people live in Glendale. You really need a car for sure. I have lived here for 50 years and it has change so much since 1970 LOL The weather...the new have record AZ with the high and the low nation wide in the same day because of the diverse weather here.

Looking to move from Denver to Phoenix! Great info guys!

I like your vlog guys........we are thinking to move to southern Arizona.......keep up your good job.

Moving to Gilbert April 1st from NYC! Super excited and loved all the tips and advice in this video 🙌🏼

Been in maryvale (don't move here) for 2 years since I moved here. Ready to upgrade to Chandler or Gilbert next year WOOH.

This should be entitled "Five Things to Know Before Moving to PHOENIX."

Another Arizona local here, living in Tucson. Compared to Tucson Transportation, Phoenix is wonderful! We have one bus company for the whole city, depending on where you're starting from will take you 1 1/2 to 4hrs to get anything accomplished.

Just moved to Arizona Two Weeks Ago Not Bad Slower Pace.

Great video =)

Cute couple!! New subscriber here!!🥰

You two are just darling!

Good video!

Welp.... just found a new channel to watch now. Yay! I do have a couple of questions: I have heard of an area near Phoenix called Deer Valley, I hope I have that right. When talking about the surrounding areas in the video, where would Deer Valley be considered located? I have read that this is a good area, is that true? I am from Alabama and just received a job offer in Phoenix, actually in Goodyear. I appreciate any input on this. I enjoyed your video and have now subscribed! Keep up the good work!

What you don't make clear about the temperature is 'stated temperature is in the shade', not when exposed to the sun.

I was born a raised till the age of 9 in Az. I’m 20 now and want to move back!!! I visit every other year and honesty I love it there more then here in Houston. How did you guys get your real estate license? P.S. y’all are the cutest couple, I love the energy!

We moved here from SF area last year and it was 116 degrees. 116 DEGREES!!!!! LOL. You need a car here. But I sold my gas saver for a full size truck and pay two bucks a gallon. Food compared to the Bay Area SUCKS!!! LOL. I can't find a great Thai place let alone good Chinese . Mexican food in some places is great. Of course we are in the Surprise area and maybe that's the problem on good food. Scottsdale is my favorite part of the area here, But pricey. Cost of living. This is what I notice. Labor around the house or in is about the same as California, expensive and many times unreliable. Food about the same costs. I paid 75 bucks for breakfast for the wife and I and I thought that was crazy. Housing here is more reasonable here than the pricing in the Bay Area. You can get a beautiful place for 300K or a fabulous place for 500K. Property tax is real low. Property insurance low. Gasoline low. Utilities are about the same as California. Car insurance was less than one half then what we paid in California. I love the freeways here because not much traffic and the diamond lane is free. No FASTRAK!!! Great! No parking tickets here compared to California. Don't leave animals in the car at all. There is actually a law on leaving your dog in the yard after a certain temp. I think it's 90 degrees. SADONA is to die for!

Change your headings from moving to Arizona, to moving to Phoenix. There are major cities with their own systems across Arizona. Metropolitan Phoenix, Metropolitan Tucson, Metropolitan Yuma, Metropolitan Prescott, Metropolitan Flagstaff, Metropolitan Lake Havasu, Metropolitan Sierra Vista.

Enjoyed your video! How bout your thoughts on other Phoenix Valley cities? Maricopa?

I want to move to az but the heat part just scared me...

I need to get a job out there first before trying to find a home to accommodate my wife, 2 kids and mother in law do u think 250-300k is good enough to live in a nice area for a family, I just want to work and be able to afford a home and spend time with the family! sucks California doesn't offer that unless you live far away for the city and even then area might not be good...

Hey, about the dust storm..do they affect your breathing or send people to the hospital????? How bad does it get in your house, can you keep the air/heat on?

No mention of the West Valley. What about Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, the Sun Cities, Buckeye? The West Valley is the newest area with more people moving here every day! Surprise alone has 150,000 people and is still growing, as is Peoria. The Northwest Valley, in particular, is growing immensely. This is going to be the new "Scottsdale."

When its not 120....lol....the summers suck here..from June to almost November now..

Why would you think 115 is not a hot one. Its that 100 in the shade compares well with 90 in florida and south

Could you touch on any encounters you have as an interracial couple? Treatment, etc ? Or does that not exist for you all? Thanks for the video…

Seriously considering moving to Phoenix area this year. I have a few questions. Do you have an email that I can communicate with you?

Y'all are too cute! I'm moving out to Gilbert in March or early April, thanks for the tips!

Close your windows, close your mouth 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where about the surprise area?

Subscribed! How does one date here😑

Thank you for a pretty objective observation of the area. I do question though, how so many people say the cost of living is less. Housing....definitely, renting not so much. Example, paid 2400 per mo. West LA, and equivalent Phoenix Apartment would cost 1600-1800 in same cultural district. I'm a nurse, and the pay scales here have not increased along with the rise in housing costs. Utility bills, when factored in....not cheap. For a full time position, pay cut of nearly 40K per year when I moved here from LA. Having said that, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LIVING IN MIDTOWN! I have a studio, cut expenses, and get outdoors, and walk every where when I can, and time errands with weather (groceries early am & night time in summer). Even in summer (prior to Covid) we only ate at restaurants for happy hour, took a Lyft there & walked back. With bikes...world is your Oyster! Plenty of places in Down Town/Mid Town. Spend less, work less. I would not suggest living here if you work 9-5 & choose to commute long distances. Driving in the heat during rush hour, with hot angry people can be a nightmare! A remote worker, with flexible schedule, or someone willing to work weekends, and do nature during the week...LOVE IT HERE. I think being happy anywhere might benefit from re-thinking what you really need, and maybe adjusting for more free time...less hours working. THANKS AGAIN FOR THIS VID!

North Peoria is the new Beverly Hills

Arizona or just in Phoenix or Tucson , isn't not that hot north Arizona .. you guys need to explain better that the whole Arizona isn't hot cuz in Prescott and Payson get snow and a full winter , it just Phoenix that doesn't snow ..

Is auto insurance expensive?

Why couldn’t she say you guy’s are realtors? I’m watching several other channels of local realtors in the area and they’re actually driving around the different cities their.

Is Phoenix a good area for families?

THE BUS ARE HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE HORRIBLE, WORSE IN THE SUMMER

As a Proud Native Arizonan I recommend you stay as far away from us as possible!!! Please stop coming here!!!! Especially if you're bringing California values!!!

Housing is still overpriced, especially north of Phx. And south in Maricopa and Pima Counties, where it's getting so badly overpopulated (thanks to the bi-partisan over immigration conspiracy), water is going to get a lot more expensive when they either are going to have to pipe it from the Mexican coastline and purify it or employ next gen methods of extracting it from air.

1, don't

You would think he would have told her that she has something hanging from her nose.
