That’s most of phoenix. If you want a nice area, Scottsdale or Gilbert are nice- but expensive.

@@Lynn_Nice that’s my view. It’s an informercial. lol

Wow, I'd love to know about that garage door...

I stayed in a VRBO in PV a couple of years ago. Loved the area. Some of my friends from Calgary have homes there.

That is what I DID think until I watched her videos. She is very honest about what living in AZ would be like, she is not doing some less than honest move by trying to gloss over the factual problems that the SW United States is going to be dealing with soon enough. Housing prices will plummet when there is no water flowing from your faucets, and some company will come in with trucks to "sell" you water that will cost five times a gallon than what gasoline costs per gallon today. There will be water wars at some point, precipitated by mass exoduses from the whole SW region of the country.

Yes.

@@donbseaI’m on a well. If the entire valley runs out of water, I can move. It’s not an issue for me.

Spot on, I couldn’t agree more.

@@damonmelendez856 I think you are going to save me LOTS of money.

Yes a lot of very bad development in recent years.

Lots of the 7 Deadly sins being committed daily around the U.S. since Covid-19. Sadly, the Phoenix metro area is one of the many areas wrapped up in this maleficence.

Correct but one cannot stop progress. It was tried in the 70 s everyone trying to stop the squaw Peak freeway. One can see how that went.

Where would you live?

@@shawn.shackelton Oregon Coast. Around Tillamook, Lincoln City, or Newport.

@@SaturdaySportsman Thise will get you away from the sunshine!

@@ericksonsails I used to live in Southern Chile, where it's rainier than Seattle and Portland. I loved the overcast climate. The sun everyday beating down on me 330 days a year just feels oppressive in the PHX desert.

"were" ( subjunctive mood)

Especially leftists.

Nice try….we tried that back in the late 70s cannot stop progress.

I have lived all over before moving here with my family in 1989. One of the reasons that I don’t move back to where the in-laws live is simple, places don’t stay the same. Places either grow or die. I have lived in the, “we’re just fine the way we are,” communities as they watched the jobs, then businesses leave while they were dying. No thanks.

​@margiestevens2384 we don't have the infrastructure (in any area from roads to grocery stores) or the water to keep up with the number of people moving here. I agree with op- don't come here or go back

Yes, I live "near" Cave Creek and I can't remember seeing a horse on the main drag through the town. What I do see is lots and lots of traffic on any weekend but bike week is insane. It's great to visit but I don't envy the people who live there. I don't even know why she listed Carefree as separate. They are kind of the same thing and side by side. Maybe Carefree is a smidge quieter. That's about it.

Back in the 1970s i was in Phoenix. I thought it was way to uncomfortable hot back then!

Phoenix was great in the 70s. Thanks FJB for the high prices

@@chipcook6646 Yeah, back in the 70s there used to be great monsoon seasons. Mostly every day. I was a kid back then. (Jan Griffiths).

Denise, you move to California for cheaper rent and utilities?

Social Security wasn't meant to be a full income.

To many people here now

We own multiple homes, one has flood irrigation. The prices have skyrocketed compared the old days of cheap irrigation. Over 1,000 year now. Plus our water bill with all the added services and fees

Nothing is guaranteed,and public water has far more contamination in it. You people really are city slickers,and need to stay in your utopia cities.

Is there actually a Municipal Water "Guarantee" that's worth anything in AZ?

@@donbsea Yes there is. You need to prove you have 100 years worth of water to develop a property here in certain areas. If you can't prove you have the water you won't be given a building permit. Scottsdale and Phoenix both denied some people this year for what I think was the first time but I could be wrong. The city uses various sources of official data for this and if some of the assumptions for rain fall or water usage in that data were wrong than you could have a situation where that 100 years is actually 48 but most of the data used is reliable. The questionable bits of data are being worked on and my guess is they get it solved because they need to for the state to remain viable. Either way I think it's very unlikely the state government or the federal government would just throw their hand up if the consensus was that Arizona's major metropolitan areas were running out of water. If the government thought population decline was inevitable due to a water problem we would invest in infrastructure to solve the issue. That is where the Central AZ Project canal system came from. Metropolitan AZ is too important to the US economy and national defense to let die off.

Dont count on central canel for the future. Now that the mines started in the grandcanyon area there can toxic dangers area with the water from the Colorado river that feeds it. The is a nice water map on the city of Tempe web site that shows where they get water from. FYI the water table in maracopia has fire retardent chemicals in it. Dont drink water here that hasnt been filtered.

I didn't hear anything about Paradise Valley that would make me want to live there for 3mil!

Tell the democrats to leave!

@pmn2821 Why don't you move?

All the Arcadia neighborhoods are very nice! Great location

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

I just vacationed in Cali and although a lot of it's beautiful, I was VERY glad to be back in beautiful Arizona. I hope we keep our laid back flavor here.

@@thnkr0917 Californians are moving here, as are others. Our housing market? "Likely to increase as mortgage rates stabilize. Home Prices: Set to continue rising due to the low supply-high demand dynamic. New Home Construction Sales: Expected to increase by 3.5% in 2024. Buyers: May continue making lowball offers due to market struggles."

More come from Chicago than California. This old trope has been going on since the 80's. Probably earlier than that, but I cant remember further back.

Thanks for watching and the comment!

Thank you. I only live in a house for NMT 13 months. After that time I use it as a temporary vacation house until I get bored. Most of the time I keep them (house) and only sell when my tax man directs me. This strategy is brought to you by the morons who write the LTCG laws and policies.

Glad it was helpful! I have not made a video about the Deer Valley area, but happy to answer any questions you have about the area. Just give me a call.

i like arizona city

Glad you found a place you love.

There is lots of water Just too many people moving here.

You people are really brainwashed. Pleeeeeeease stay where you are.

I have not heard about this, thank you for sharing.

@@shawn.shackelton You're have to be living under a rock not to hear of it. Scottsdale Road is littered with popup venues and signage announcing them. Phoenix Magazine has ads. There's maps distributed directing you to the different "studio" homes. On the weekends where the event occurs, there's small signs (not unlike your realtor open house signs) dotting the thoroughfares.

No mention of homes in central Phx. Loved living in that part. Probably a 50’s home Maryland & 16th, some mid- century, flood irrigation. Close to Heard and really OLD PHOENIX. What availability now?

Yes to Moon Valley! The cookie cutter tract home new builds are just awful. Even the super expensive places in Scottsdale don’t have much charm. MV is great. My house overlooks MV.

Moon Valley is fantastic. Beautiful and unique homes, super quiet, very safe, nice country club. It's the best kept secret in PHX.

@@timford5390 fireworks on the third this year . Driving to see luminaries on Christmas Eve is my fave current tradition.

Fountain Hills is a great place to live!

Thanks! 😊

Was that recently?

I looked there in 2016-2017 when I was buying. There wasn't much that wasn't that range. I opted for something Carefree Hwy and I-17. /Anthem Daisy Mtn area. Way cheaper, close to a major highway and still a short commute to enjoy Cave Creek and North Scottsdale without paying those prices. Plus I can be in Sedona and Prescott easily, as well. Win-win My only concern is what the chip plant is actually going to bring into my neighborhood.

@@thnkr0917 !7 is going to be horrifying when that chip plant opens.

Right. That is what I was looking for.

WOW, crazy! But not that surprising 😊

Some of us can only afford this part of Phoenix lol

all the ghetto folk moved into the new housing

Nice!

It is a great place!!

The flood irrigation is great.

Downtown crime and helicopters constantly at night.

I live on salt River flood irrigation. My neighborhood mostly handles our own irrigation valves. I rarely see a Sanjero come in to run them. It's every other week in the summer and 1x a month mid fall through mid September. Irrigation is a huge blessing. It's very inexpensive and allows you to grow things you would never dream of here.

@@radtechg9 Absolutely! Some interesting videos that I have seen opening the valves and whatnot. Are you allowed use any of that water to fill a pool? There was a fascinating article that I read somewhere about the life of the rubber booted zanjero going from one property or another at the correct times of the day and night. One can definitely see the various fruit trees and such in those Phoenix neighborhoods.

@kennixox262 some of my neighbors do pump the water from one side of their yard to another for better filing. But I doubt anyone would want to use it in a pool. It's truly river water, not clean. I've had fish come through my valve before.

@@radtechg9 I did not know that. Thank you for the info on it. Still a fascinating subject - flood irrigation in residential yards. Seems odd but I find interest in unusual things like that.

Why would you include that area? Curious

​@@shawn.shackeltonShopping and upscale restaurants.

Some HOA's can be tough to deal with for sure!

The Anthem HOA has a reputation as being one of the toughest in the entire metropolitan area. They really loath palm trees of any kind and are known as plant nazi's.

Thanks for sharing this... I've never heard of anyone I know living in Arcadia having a scorpion problem.

Happy to help, give me a call so I can better explain the filters.

People move for jobs mainly. Most people have to work.

@@gusgrizzel8397 I can live anywhere with my job. I love Phoenix. I won't move any time soon.

@@thnkr0917 Yeah, I think if you have a decent, well paying job, one can live just about anywhere. There are nice areas in every city.

Many Canadians buy in the North Scottsdale area where the golf is everywhere and lots of other things to do as well. Give me a call if you'd like some help!

@@shawn.shackelton The Kierland Area? or north of the 101?

Too late. 72c Cdn Peso makes buying in the US a complete throwaway of cash. Buy in something like Belize. I'm from Calgary, I bought in 2011 when the Peso was 1.10 USD, my Phoenix house is worth 5x what I paid for it 😂

@@mikej238 It isn't a throwaway of cash. One day, I will sell the home when I'm too old to go.

I am really tired of this trite statement. Grow up.

@@willchristie2650 I am a grown up. That is why I do not move from a liberal state that is destroying itself and move to a state that is better to live in and proceed to vote the same way (liberal), hoping that things will be better this time.

You are right, there's a lot of septic in Paradise Valley too. If people have never dealt with septic it can be a turn off. Most people I know that have had septic have not had a problem.

@@shawn.shackelton The Corrigan family owned almost all of northeast Scottsdale. Their grandfather was Kemper Marley.

@@shawn.shackelton Corrigans owned all the land under DC Ranch and if you are north of the 101 where your house is was theirs also.

@@erikthorne I know this all too well. I worked for DMB for 10 years and sold at DC Ranch and Silverleaf & have met some of the family.

We are on septic and are on a hill (not in PV) I’d guess a lot of people who have hillside properties even in non rural areas on septic. Septic is definitely a big cost (neighbors had to get a new one for $20k), but my house can’t be beat.

Troon is beautiful!! I plan on doing a video about the area soon especially because so many get confused by Troon and Troon North

I wouldn’t call it an infestation… they have them & if you don’t keep trees trimmed away from your roof they could get inside. But I know many people that live there & have not had a problem.

@@shawn.shackelton They can crawl staight up a wall.

HA HA HA, kinda of true :-)

Why do you say that?

HOAs? Wonder how people start these businesses...

I've done full videos on most of these places. What others would you add?

@@shawn.shackelton For places some would avoid. I instantly think The Square, Sunnyslope/Metrocenter, Alahambra, Maryvale, Laveen, and North Mountain. All of these areas have reasons that some would avoid them but others would love them. For example, parts of the Sunnyslope area are gentrifying nicely and have some amazing homes.

Thank you, means a lot!

Sounds like you would love LA

The North Scottsdale desert is very lush, it's really beautiful with the mountains and vegetation.

Nobody is forever stuck? If you’re suffering that much then so is your mental health. I can’t imagine staying somewhere that you aren’t happy… for 31 years? Seriously. Either make a change or eventually change will make it for you.

Certainly there are lush areas. What about Central? You would never dream you are in a desert with all the trees and lawns. I find it very wasteful of water to create the illusion of being in the Midwest, but it is lush. I consider palm trees lush, and there are many areas with many palms. I consider Arrow Head lush. And of course, Paradise Valley is very lush. Do you drive?

Fountain Hills is a great city!

What can you get for 300k???! LOL this is 2024 brother! Maybe buckeye/maricopa or west side phx. People can get upset and get riled up over this… but everyone that’s from Phx valley area knows that East Phoenix and East valley is superior in all ways to west Phoenix.

In 2024 probably. I bought my house for 230k in 2017. If I sell it now, it's about 500k give or take. I wouldn't sell, because rent would be way more than my mortgage and my secondary together.

@@mr.kingman7972 Thanks, but I knew that ! Add in far North West valley as nice…….Just using an arbitrary number……I lived there thirty years ago….possibly in the South and North Dakota, it’s cheaper…..still making a guess….

True

Better yet avoid politics!

@thnkr0917 that only works if you want to live in a socilist Dumpster fire

Yes dont move here. Dont move to cave creek

Don't move to Carefree either. In fact move to California

Is it really possible though? All the HOA-less neighborhoods we looked at were total dumps. :/

Generally, if you want a nice safe community with amenities and gates that you don't have to maintain yourself, you are going to also get an HOA. No one really wants an HOA. I surely didn't and I still don't love them, but I do love a maintained pool, hiking trail, park, basketball and tennis court, playground and all the other amenities I get. I figure the notice I get mid spring for "weeds" or for a garbage can being on the street too long when the city doesn't show up until 6pm to collect is just the price I pay for the pool. LOL! But you aren't wrong.

Ha ha ha Maryvale is one of the crime written neighbors neighborhoods of all of Phoenix in Glendale ha ha ha ha ha ha nobody with any common sense should move to Maryvale or it's kind of close to Grand Canyon community college or Grand Canyon college. I wouldn't live in that area either where it's become Fry

I grew up about 10 miles from the San Andreas fault in So Cal.... and have experienced my share of earthquakes, which is one of the reasons I left CA. Never heard anyone say that the fault is also in AZ.

Please, you should be the first person to pack up and move back to California

@@pmn2821 not from Cal. Going back east, only place.

​@@shawn.shackeltonI'm from Phoenix and now live in LA. I can vouch for the first twenty years of my life I never once felt an earthquake, but in thirty years in California, I have felt many including the 94' Northridge quake which is still unmatched to this day.
