Can anybody tell me how you like Phoenix,AZ?
I am Planning on going there to MMI (Motorcycle Mechanics Institute) next year and need some feedback!
Most all those complaining on here likely reside in the West Valley. I hated it when I lived over there too. All aside, it depends on where you are now.
I grew up in a small town in northern AZ and by comparison, Phoenix seemed like a real paradise. I moved down here five years ago, a week after I graduated high school and loved it. I moved to MS for a year and couldn’t wait to be back.
There is no doubt about it, it gets HOT, but, it’s only as bad as you make it. I drove around the city for three years with no AC in my truck and it got to the point where it was 116 degrees outside but I didn’t break a sweat. You adapt.
If you plan on coming here, make sure you make the investment of finding a nice place to live. The PHX MMI is on the North side of town, and there’s a lot of new development up there. East Phoenix, Scottsdale, the Biltmore area and of course Tempe have hell of culture and things to do. Plus, if you’re in to bikes, The Dunes are just a few hours south, not to mention all kinds of places to ride out in the desert.
One of my best friends moved out here to go to MMI from Maine; originally he thought he was going to the FL one but at the last minute they told him it was AZ or nothing, so he took the drive. He really likes it here, has a house now, etc.
I think the bottom line is you’re either going to love it or hate it. I run into people all the time (most of the people here ARE transplants) from NJ, Chicago, WI, MN, NY, and they freakin’ love it here. The summers are bad, but the autumn, winter, and spring are *paradise*. Cleaning the pool in your shorts on New Years? Done it. Most West Coasters don’t seem to like it here, and I actually don’t see many southerners but people from the Midwest and Northwest really seem to like it.
If you’re a city girl, I mean a REAL city girl, you’ll probably hate it. The industries here aren’t stock trading or finance. It’s cattle, mining, agriculture, technology, and construction; there’s no need for a centralized business district and no one seems to really want one. If you can get the scratch and some time you should take a trip out to get the feel.
Mail me if you’d like additional details on the place…
Cheers!
