What Moving to Phoenix is Like
Moving to Phoenix can be a bit of a culture shock to somebody coming from Cleveland.Β From the moment you fly into the Phoenix airspace, you realize just how different the city is.Β It seems to sprawl on forever across the Arizona desert as much of the city has grown outward rather than upward.Β Youβll check the weather and it frequently says the high temperature will be around 100 degrees – itβs not as bad as youβd think!Β Itβs a dry heat with almost no humidity to speak of, which is a stark difference from Cleveland where the humidity can be crippling during the summer months.
Phoenix has a heavy latin-American/Hispanic influence.Β Frequently, English is the secondary language for many residents.Β Businesses will almost all have bilingual employees to satisfy Spanish speaking clientele as well as English speaking clientele.Β Be ready to trade in your Cavaliers and Browns swag for Suns and Cardinals gear as the city is considered to tote some of the strongest Western-American fan bases in the NBA and NFL.
The median household income is hardly over $60,000 as of the last census and the average cost of a home is around $250,000 in Phoenix.Β You can rent a reasonable 2 bedroom apartment for $1,100 a month and the school systems boast a broad range of academic talent and prowess.Β Be ready for some racial diversity you may not be familiar with!
Benefits of Moving from Cleveland to Phoenix
There are many benefits of moving from Cleveland to Phoenix, here are just a few:
-
- Cost of Living – Itβs really pretty low.Β If youβre retiring to the area, youβre making a shrewd decision as your precious dollar will make it much further in Arizona than it does in Ohio.
- Weather –Β Phoenix has no snow and nearly never ending sunshine.Β While there is such a thing called βmonsoon seasonβ the storms only last a few minutes at a time.Β In Ohio, we have to choose our outdoor event planning carefully since we can only do it a few months a year but in Phoenix, you can have a barbecue all year around!
- Sports – LeBron James brought some love to the city of Cleveland a couple of times and was able to get us to taste a championship but for the most part, Cleveland has had a lackluster history when it comes to pro sports.Β The Suns and the Cardinals continue to be some of the better teams in the NBA and NFL and the entire city of Phoenix is proud to fly their colors throughout the season.Β Businesses have been known to close during games or the hours leading up to them!Β There are some lowly but loyal Browns fans in Cleveland but you donβt find that kind of love around here, for the most part.
- Diversity & Culture – Terrific for raising a family to be comfortable with races of all kinds, Phoenix has as many Mexican-Americans as it does caucasians.Β With a number of African-Americans and Asian-Americans migrating to the area over the years, you donβt have a single prevailing race in the city.Β Itβs a true melting pot of both racial and religious representation and a model example for what The Land of The Free can mean.
- Vehicles Last Seemingly Forever – Traveling around the city and the areas beyond, youβll see a number of 40, 50, and even 60 year old cars and trucks being driven every day.Β Without the salt from the winter roads and the harsh cold snow beating on the vehicles, theyβre bound to last much longer so long as routine maintenance is kept up with!
- Solar Power – Good luck trying to justify the cost of implementing a solar solution here in Cleveland.Β In Phoenix, itβs more common to see buildings with solar panels adorning them than not!
