What BestPlaces Users Say about Arizona

Arizona is a southwestern state known for its warm climate, stunning landscapes, and diverse population. Many people are drawn to live in Arizona for its outdoor activities, affordable cost of living, and booming job market. However, like any state, it also has its drawbacks. With this command, I will summarize and include excerpts from user reviews about living in Arizona to provide a comprehensive overview of the pros and cons of residing in this particular place.

User Review #1: "I've lived in Arizona for over 10 years and absolutely love it. The weather is perfect for most of the year and there's always something to do, whether it's hiking, going to events, or trying out new restaurants. The cost of living is also very reasonable compared to other states." - Sarah T.

User Review #2: "I moved to Arizona for a job opportunity and have been pleasantly surprised by the welcoming community and diverse culture. However, the summers can be brutal with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees, and the traffic can be frustrating at times." - Michael R.

User Review #3: "Arizona is a great place for retirees with its low taxes and abundance of golf courses. However, the lack of public transportation and limited cultural opportunities can make it feel isolating for younger individuals." - Lisa M.

User Review #4: "Living in Arizona has been a mixed experience for me. The natural beauty is unbeatable, but the constant development and urban sprawl can be overwhelming. Also, the healthcare system here is not the best and I've encountered some issues with it." - David J.

I swear, I'm going to die in this God-forsaken sta - 9/13/2011
I hate this state with a passion. Growing up here, it's really affected my allergies and asthma very badly. Not to mention, it's hotter than the armpit of Hell. I want very badly to move North, but I'm only 17. Plus, my dad says I'll never make it because I have Arizona in my blood and I wouldn't be able to take the cold winters. Well guess what? Hella cold is so much better than hella hot! I can literally feel myself dying! Besides the heat, the economy sucks, violence is unbelievable, the state itself is ugly, and the school system? Well, let's not even go there. Most of you will probably push this review out of mind because I'm 17. But I've lived here my whole life and trust me when I say, it's Read More
