Review of Phoenix, Arizona


Love it!
Star Rating - 7/31/2019
I've been here for 3 years. I have lived in California and the midwest. Cost of living is actually very similar to the midwest. My apartment when I first moved here was actually less than what I paid there by $50. I got paid a lot more too! I make about 23k more than what I was making in Kansas. I love the active lifestyle, a lot to do, a lot to see. Day trips are everything. I have never seen a rat in AZ like the other post. Only negative is when school is back in session the traffic seems to double. Finding a place to live will generally take you 3-4 months since housing is in high demand so start looking in advance! Worth the move, I didn't know anyone here and now me and my children call it home.

Wow...it's amazing how people can have such different perspectives. I moved here from the Seattle area and the cost is similar to that...unaffordable. I pay more here for rent than my condo in Seattle. The heat is so awful you can't do an anything. I lived in Vegas and this is ten times worse. The humidity here is awful, like being in the deep South with temperatures 20 degree hotter. The drivers are so agressive that it makes me nervous to drive. Pay is the same as you would get most places, depending on what you do. Kansas sounds really good to me!!!
