Need To Know Costs Of Living In Arizona 2023

You are so right! I moved to Phoenix from Colorado end of 18 and lived there until January 20. I’m in shock at how high Colorado is. You can’t find a decent apartment for under 2000. I’m moving back end of August and can’t wait! Colorado isn’t what it used to be. The cost of living and life style of Phoenix is so much better!

Phoenix and Tucson apartment rentals are still VERY high. I'm retired and would love to move to Phoenix where I have some old friends. But. . .to get a similar size apartment to the one I'm renting in Wichita, Kansas, I would have to pay TWICE what I'm paying now. TWICE! So, it looks like I'm not going to be able to move out there after all. VERY depressing since I really need a change of scenery. But rent for a decent place out there is VERY high. I don't know who these people are who say it's very affordable out there. If it was I'd move ASAP. . .But it isn't, and I can't. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the informative video.

Gas is $1 more a gallon basically here in Cali

When you calculate the low wages combined with the highest utility bills in the nation, and the 2nd highest gas prices - you may want to reconsider. Five months is is very hot plus the nights are hot, too. The winters in Metro Phoenix area are much colder than, say, coastal California. High temps are 50 - 65, and nights are 24-43.

My husband just got his greencard, we’re planning to move to Arizona. After watching this video I’m certain we can afford to live in AZ since Canada is ridiculously expensive to live in! edit thank you for breaking these costs down, googling gave us such contradicting information but hearing it from someone that lives there helps plan/budget!

This girl is full of it. This place is ridiculously high. I have a 500 sq foot studio. In the summer my electric is 200$ and there’s no HOA that’s 150 a quarter or 80 a month. I’ve been shopping 3 years. Least I have seen is 200 a month. Talk about desperation to do the bait and switch on you.

How did Arizona go from reasonable to expensive? You are still a 🏜 dessert, right no trees or tall mountain peaks swamps so where's the money going to. I'm guessing the invisible people..

While this video isn't that old I am surprised that anyone would think the Phoenix area is affordable. Our gas is high, groceries too and the rent is high too. We are more online with Colorado than not as I hear it from people about town.

Moving from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Phoenix, AZ in January. I just got a job offer there. I’ve been looking and everything is so much better priced than it is down here.

How much money you gotta have to buy a house to how much your rent gonna be and how much would you charge me to buy one?

hi, what about Yuma Arizona? can a family of 4 can survive with a 12.80 usd per hour?

Hey I live in Alabama and our electric bill was $735!!!

I really enjoy these types of videos, along with the home tours. One thing I would point out in addition to all of the helpful things you mentioned is that people need to keep in mind the cost of a roof replacement if you have solar in Arizona. I believe the cost can increase quite a bit if you have solar and need to replace your roof, because they will need to remove the panels, replace the roof, and then reinstall the panels. And you may need to hire a separate company to remove and reinstall the solar panels. All of that adds up in a hurry.

They moved too much there yes it was dirt Cheap before corona hit !

When I first moved to AZ, I was in a one-bedroom luxury apartment for $695/month. I looked the other day, and that same apartment is now $1825/month. Let that sink in.

FYI: That was about a decade ago. Thankfully made it into a house.

Is Scottsdale housing more expensive.
