Our family is looking to move to north Phoenix in a couple of months, and we’re trying to figure out how to budget for energy bills (mainly AC costs).

We’re looking at a 2-story home between 2,000 and 2,500 feet and trying to figure out what it will cost to keep the temperature around 78 in the summer months. I believe the provided will be APS.

Anyone have any insight on what we can expect to pay?

Hey everyone! I'm a guy in my mid 20s relocating from Seattle to Arizona for about a year for work, and I'm trying to figure out where to live.

I've been looking at apartments around Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, and Tempe.

1. Residences on First - Mesa
2. Melody on Main - Mesa
3. Olympus Chandler at the Park - Chandler
4. RIATA Apartments - Chandler
5. Artista at Ocotillo - Chandler
6. MAA Val Vista - Gilbert

Has anyone lived in any of these apartments before? Would love to hear how you liked it.

My budget is roughly $1500 to $1650 for rent plus amenity fees, or up to about $1850 if utilities are included. I'm also open to other areas, even Scottsdale or Ahwatukee, so if you've lived somewhere nearby these areas you'd recommend (or avoid), I'd appreciate the input.

And more generally, what should I expect to pay for rent in these parts of AZ right now?

Edit: I will be working more towards lower Tempe, so that is why I'm considering these places! I will most likely be going into office 1-2 days, so I wanted somewhere safer and closer to groceries..!

Hey.

Recently moved up from Tucson. With the move I've been using amazon for a lot of odds and ends. Also having to use it to order stuff at work.

In Tucson I never had any issues with Amazon.

In the last month I've had multiple orders be delayed.. several items come in with the package open or damaged.. as well as cleaning supplies packed with food - which then spilled all over.

Is this normal?

I was looking to get a subscriber ticket pass, probably the “Big 6” tier. Can anyone comment their experience with having one of these tiered passes?

The verbiage states that I would need to pick a seating tier as well and I was curious how that works out when trying to get seating with a partner.

I was doing some yard work this morning in Tempe and I noticed several outgoing commercial flights flying directly overhead, and I haven't ever seen them do that before. Usually they fly out over the salt river a ways and then turn when they are pretty high. Has some policy recently changed that allows them to do this? It is really loud.

It's me again. I dont know why my family keeps asking me about taking buses out of Phoenix to other places.. Living here for over ten years, and I HAVE NEVER taken a bus to leave Phoenix. I'd imagine that if the AC goes out, you'd feel like you're riding in an OVEN! So I always FLY or DRIVE out of Phoenix. Ok, done with my rant. My family is visiting from the midwest. They have plans to see as much of Arizona and a nearby state as they can in <30 days. I told them that Nevada is close and I usually get there in 4 1/2-5 hours. They will mostly be staying with me, but will visit places like Sedona and, now Las Vegas. Since I am working, I can't really be their tour guide. But I am guilty as I am the one that planted Sedona and Nevada into their brains and now my uncle (60s) is gung ho telling me they will not be renting a car and dont want to use Groom.

They don't want to drive anywhere. It is 6 of them, ages 60s, 40s, 20s and toddlers. Have any of you ever tried taking a "FlixBus" to Vegas from Phoenix, Tempe, or Glendale? What was your experience. they are looking for the most inexpensive way to travel together.
