The Arizona market
The Southwest is full of amazing natural beauty that is unlike any other region of the U.S. While the thought of Arizona may conjure up images of endless open plains dotted with towering cacti, the state is well-developed. Arizona is a vast corner of the Southwest in which visitors and residents can enjoy a hike through the desert and a ski resort vacation within the same state. Arizona has some fantastic properties, unlike those found anywhere else. The state has its own individual style that matches and harmonizes with the surrounding geography. In addition to diverse landscapes and climates, Arizona offers a variety of different housing opportunities, whether for residents or investors. There is affordable family housing near major universities and employers and luxury housing amid some of the most beautiful landscapes in the U.S.
Large cities in Arizona include the capital city of Phoenix, as well as Tucson, Mesa, and Chandler. Numerous luxury properties are available in other well-known cities, such as Scottsdale, and much less populated cities such as the aptly named Paradise Valley. Much of the state is pristine wilderness, as in Arizona’s vast state and national parks. There are large rural farms where livestock is raised, and crops such as cotton, citrus, and grains are grown. Much of the state also contains Native American reservations. In total, Arizona is a fascinating mix of urban, suburban, and rural developments surrounded by breathtaking expanses of wilderness.
Perks of living in Arizona
Newcomers will be surprised by the diversity of the climate and geography of Arizona. For those who want to avoid having to live through anything that could properly be called “winter,” southern Arizona is a great place to live. This portion of the state includes much of the classic desert landscape that is typically associated with the American Southwest. The summers here are hot, and the winters are minimal.
To the north, however, Arizona gets more snowfall. There are several ski resorts in the state, allowing those who love the outdoors to experience snowy winter sports and desert landscapes in the same state. Aside from the comfortable dry heat, Arizona has some stunning natural features such as the Grand Canyon, as well as beautiful evergreen forests and open plains.
Other renowned national parks include Petrified Forest and Saguaro National Park, and there are gorgeous state parks where visitors can enjoy everything from historic sites to cave tours. Arizona shares borders with several other states, as well as northern Mexico. Day or weekend trips to Southern California are feasible from much of the state.
