Top 5 Reasons To Move To Arizona
Are you looking for magnificent natural wonders? How about affordable housing? These are just two of the top five reasons to relocate to sunny Arizona.
Do you like sunny weather? Arizona can boast that it has, on average, 300 days (or more) of sunshine every year! Whether you believe it or not, the folks who reside in Arizona will be the first to tell you that the “dry heat” is much better than dealing with the “high humidity”. Ok, so you want to ski and snowboard? Just make a trip to Flagstaff during the winter and you can do both at an elevation of 12,000 feet.
Natural wonders in Arizona are many, but topping the list is the Grand Canyon, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Grand Canyon delivers breathtaking scenery, hiking, camping, and many other activities. Other popular natural wonders throughout the state of Arizona are Monument Valley, Saguaro National Park, the Colorado River and the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert, to name a few. There is even a mountain in the shape of a camel! If you are a resident of Arizona, vacation spots are “right in your own backyard”.
Arizona can say it is the fastest growing state right now. According to Tom Rex, associate director of the Center for Competitiveness and Prosperity Research at Arizona State University, “There are housing developments sprouting everywhere, whether they are on former farmland or in the desert.” Housing is so affordable in Arizona, there are Californians who are relocating to take advantage of the reasonably priced homes.
Due to the fact that there is a phenomenal housing boom, the economy is very strong. With all of the homes being built, there are plenty of jobs, and Arizona is also “a hotbed of in-home businesses.”
Another good reason to move to Arizona is to live in Phoenix, “The Valley of the Sun”. This city has constantly earned top marks for its resort amenities, for its business climate and for its educational institutions. It has long been established as an ideal retirement city due to sun-filled, 85 degree days, more than 190 golf courses, and numerous other recreational opportunities. Phoenix features several health-care facilities throughout the city. Disneyland and the San Diego Zoo are each only a 6-hour drive or 1-hour flight from Phoenix.
A beautiful climate year round, natural wonders in every direction, affordable housing, a growing and strong economy (great job opportunities), and an exciting city like Phoenix are all compelling reasons to consider moving to Arizona. I might even consider it myself!

Living in Arizona helps you appreciate how nice the other 49 states really are.
Better not say that on the application though.

You like rattlesnakes.
You like scorpions
You like rats and mice.
You like living in an oven.
If you are talking about Phoenix area.
you like traffic, and stress, and crowded places.
I took a job and sold everything within 6 months to escape that hell hole.

- less air pollution – some asthma sufferers live there due to the relatively healthy air.
- less traffic compared to LA or SF (though Phoenix is more car oriented)
- lower cost of living
- lower density / more likely to find a suburban-style single family home (good or bad depends on your perspective)
- no earthquakes
- Phoenix has one of the highest population growth rates in the US -> more investment opportunities in the future.

I'd say that you would like to live in an area with better job growth, that the job is a better fit for you, and you still want to stay in your area of the country, the Southwest.

What are some good reasons to relocate to Arizona?
I'm applying for a job in Arizona, but currently live in California. The job itself is a really good fit. But they ask in the application to explain why I want to move to Arizona if I don't already live there. What are some good reasons to give? The position is in Phoenix.
Okay, you are not helpful. I want the job, so I'll go there if they hire me. You may be right about Arizona, but the California Central Valley (where I am now) isn't so great either. I just need something I can write on the application.
I want to send this to everyone I know that lives here. Lots of great ideas to experience even if you’re a resident.
Nearly year-round sun, easy access to plenty of outdoor activities and cheap land on the outskirts makes AZ a great place to live.
Oh, did I mention ASU? That’s pretty big too.
