Moving to AZ - research thread

Thanks and I bet we would get along great , just has to look past this gen 3 thing , ha!

 

I’ll have to find a way to turn down the boost , ha!

 

Speaking of traffic stuff, for a state with 7 millionish people, I was always shocked at how many fatal accidents there were. There was an intersection where I lived in Surprise, Reems & Greenway, that felt like there was a serious car accident there on a weekly basis. I don't know if it was the retiree's, snow birds or people just generally driving drunk but it seemed to happen a lot.

 

My parents moved to Prescott from L.A. in 2018, the weather was great but every time they needed a Dr, they were in my house. I was shocked that my Dad, a guy who researched everything forgot to look into the availability of medical services for over 70 people.

 

that kind of stuff is a concern, as I will be bringing my mom out with us (lost me dad recently). I was thinking I would build her a little side building type deal on my lot.

 

Definitely the nicer part of town. Plenty of shopping, food and a nice hospital there (My Mom just retired form working there).

You have Catalina State Park and Mt Lemon to the east of you There isn't a whole lot north once you cross Tangerine Rd, just couple of nice golf communities.

 

Sorry for your loss, he died in '20, she a year ago the 29th.

 

It is pretty true that certain doctors (urologists, pulmonologists) are hard to find and way booked out in Prescott. But the area is growing quickly and it seems that is getting better over the past couple years.

I'm fortunate to be a Veteran and use the VA up here which helps me. But my retired parents here do have a few doctor's visits a year down in Scottsdale which is approximately 90 min away. They still seem to feel it's worth the drive to enjoy our weather all year, versus living in the hellscape that is Phoenix, to save drive time for doctor's visits.

 

you too man, lost my dad in 2022, I won't be the same again, we were tight.

 

Dad was a vet, he used the VA for basics but he was 85 when they moved there & most of his needs required private Drs (he died of lung cancer) he sold health insurance for 60 years so had great insurance but obviously, the Drs are where they are.

 

thats the case in a lot of areas, even around here which has everything you can think of and shit load of it.

still hard to find specialists at times, etc. its an overall health care system thing at the momnet

but I don't want to get too far into the weeds with that, but that was a good thing to bring up for my search in making sure there are hospitals and some doctors near

thanks guys

 

I look past third gen’s all the time…

 

Record heat in Phx this week.

 

blast furnace

from what Ive seen and you guys have said so far, Phoenix is out, just too much

 

Was talking about my dad today. Its been 7.5 years and in some ways seems way longer - in most ways still feels fresh. He only got to see the truck in stock form - he would dig where it’s at now. And call me a dumbass for all the stupid shit we do with it.

 

really sorry to hear about your loss ,I’m deeply deeply saddened over mine so I know how guys feel when they lose their dad when they were super tight with them

if and or when I make it out their first round on me cheers to the ol man (s) we miss

 

I’ll drink to that.

 

Sorry for your loss, my Dad thought vehicles were transport appliances, never understood my love of modding/cars but we connected elsewhere, coming up on 4 years in October. I miss him, still when I see something he'd like & for a split second think of calling.

 

Any feedback with rincon valley

east of a Camino Lima Alta road?

 

Camino Alta loma?
My buddy lives out there and really likes it. “Vail” area and school district

 

The Vail area is very nice. Great school district if you got kids. I moved out here over 13 years ago from Illinois as well. I looked at that area then, it's very nice. Larger lots and beautiful homes. It was a bit more than I wanted or needed at the time, I ended up about two miles west of there across the wash. Be advised that this area is growing quickly, both residential and commercial. And Tucson keeps expanding E/B into the Vail area. Lots more homes and traffic now but nothing like Marina, OV. The plus is two new hospitals within a 20 minute drive and all the connivences that you are used to in Illinois (almost). Southern AZ is nice. Still in shorts and t-shirts. Good luck.

 

Thanks guys

ya traffic won’t be a problem for me, no commute , but hell nothing compares to here either, you can’t move here at all in the am going east

 

I’m starting to see homes sit more and price cuts more and more , I wonder if things are cooling off , not the weather lol, ha!

i look at that forecast of sun everyday and dream, the grey blanket is here now and it blows , also way too cold right now

 

ya that was it , i duffed the spelling

saw a nice crib for sale today and was just doing some poking around

 

It's a great dump lol

 

My dad has been here this week and is not missing the bullshit back in Northern IL lol



Yesterday was a nice one down in the northern Tucson valley

 

ya down to almost single digits tonight , I just don’t want to live out the rest of my days like this, no sun for 6 months , it’s like life ends in mid October and doesn’t start again till late May, then humid as shit July and August , I’m not getting any younger here

 

I see a bunch like this tighter to the city, 825k and your neighbors are right up your ass, no thanks

it seems if you go out a little bit more on the outskirts you get more for your money and way more space

.25 acres for that much cheese , wow
