1. WHY THE GRAND CANYON STATE?
For each individual, the decision to move consists of many factors. Whether it be for a new job, better place to raise a family, growth opportunities, do-over or even retirement, confidence in the final decision comes from reviewing moving to Arizona pros and cons. For those considering moving from southern California or the Pacific Northwest to the great state of Arizona, the following are a few highlights:
- The cost of living in Arizona is 5% lower than the national average. 1
- Arizona employment opportunities have risen with a pre-pandemic growth rate of 2.7% making Arizona the 3rd among all states in job growth. 2
- Arizona is one of the top 10 states to start a small business due to its tax climate, consumer spending within the state, labor costs and climate. 3
- Sunshine nearly all year long with a dry climate lends to low moisture for improved respiratory benefits. 4
- Recreational activities in Arizona range from hiking, biking, boating, fishing and golfing just to name a few. A few notable highlights include the Hoover Dam, Monument Valley, and the Red Rocks of Sedona.
2. COST AND BUDGETING
When you begin exploring which moving options are the right fit for you, a few important things to consider are timing, availability, and cost. At Get Simple Box, moves are broken down into 3 categories: local moving, region to region moving, and long distance moving.How Much Do Moving Containers Cost?
3. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO MOVE TO ARIZONA?
Moving across states can be done during any season. We generally recommend a spring/fall move when trucks are more readily available and the temperatures are cooler. July and August are typically very busy months with school starting up and Monsoons that occur at times. Because of this, these two months are generally a more difficult season to move in.4. CITY SPOTLIGHT
When you think of Arizona, you likely think of the capital, Phoenix. However Arizona’s beauty transcends to numerous cities.- Phoenix. The state’s capital for all the fun reasons – large size, plenty of things to do, especially for the ultimate sports fan with 4 professional sports teams.
- Tucson. Mountain views. Cleaner air quality. Plenty of recreational activities from running, biking and even to rock climbing.
- Scottsdale. Milder winters. Better Public Schools. Numerous golf courses. Scottsdale is a place to call home.
- El Mirage. Home to our Simple Box location. We love El Mirage because it’s near the Sonoran Desert with affordable real estate. But what we really love about El Mirage is the community – it’s a friendly community that is a quiet, safe place to live and work.
- Buckeye. Fastest growing city in the country. Residents love Buckeye for its quaint nature and slightly lower housing prices. Looking for things to do in Buckeye? The Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce is a helpful resource for local business news and things to do in the area.
