Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

What You Should Know Living in Arizona

If I had a choice, Prescott is the town, so cute.

I grew up in the Phoenix North Central corridor however after college I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. After 30 years I decided to move back to the Phoenix metro area.
When looking for a home I wanted to be a bit out of Phoenix and found a beautiful home in North Peoria off the 303 and Jomax. I LOVE the area!!! At night you can hear the howling from the coyotes and at times I’ve seen the groups of burros roaming the area.
Being ~20 minutes from Lake Pleasant is a dream for me.

Jeff!! You’ve been sorely missed! 🥹 so happy to have you back from your travels! You are the ultimate Arizona channel! You create such a magical ambience with your videos! Welcome back home! What’s the name of the country music you played on the into? I’m obsessed!

TY for making this video. Orig. from MidWest; moved to Sedona, which was a lifetime dream; stayed close to a decade & moved on up to Flagstaff to enjoy the COOLER temps! Came for 6 mos. & 8 yrs. later: I'm still here. I keep saying I want to find somewhere else to spend the winters, it sure does get COLD here & plenty of Snow! I stay b/c I LOVE all the Pine & Aspen Trees & the CLEAR FRESH AIR! Sure is expensive tho!

We picked Oro Valley and it’s been great!! Best decision I have ever made.

If I won the lottery, I would pick Flagstaff, AZ to be the best place to live. The elevation and the change of weather makes this location a winner.

I'm a simple man I see Living In Arizona Now videos I hit like.

[jorgealvarez]

A video showing best places in South East Phoenix with no HOAs would be great.

[tomvo]

I love Arizona. It’s the most beautiful place to me ❤️🙏🏻

[sarsbrown]

I miss AZ -haven’t been since 2012. I first came in 1996 and pop was around 1.5M -no 101 no 202 just the I17 and the 51. Its shocking how big PHX is now! I love your vlogs makes me want to come back! 👏😃

Payson 🌲 Arizona is a great place to live. Small town..nice people..surrounded by beautiful forest. Your going to see elk in your front yard. Mild seasons. Rim country is beautiful but it's gotten pretty pricey home wise. 🌲🌲🦌

[donhubert]

Sedona, Village of Oakcreek. Best little community in the high desert IMHO. Thx, Jeff!

[yamrz]

Chandler & Gilbert are both nice towns for retiring or raising a family!

[traveldreamer]

Great video. Flagstaff is my favorite place. Sure would like a video like this for the state of Michigan.

[KrissyBonenfant]

North Glendale rocks! Close to Lake pleasant and can go north to anywhere in Az. Payson is also beautiful. Been here in Arizona since 1976. Have seen it grow. Will never be the same again but as long as we have healthy water, I love having the choice to live here!!

[RacingDen]

11:30 one of my favorite places I've yet to see in Arizona, my best friend used to live there before relocating to eastern US, havasu is honestly a great town and im grateful it made this list

[JBoya]

Thanks I have been to Sedona a few times. Very nice. Scottsdale was nice, but awful warm. Still have Flagstaff on my list of places to visit.

[Cruisetravelers]

We are looking to move from Oklahoma to Arizona and are looking at the Prescott or Flgastaff area so we found this video helpful. Thank you.

[dgrovo]

Would love to see a video on Gilbert, AZ. I hear that it has grown so much since I lived in AZ 15 years ago
