Top 10 Things To Love About My Arizona

Arizona is a state that offers something for everyone. I moved to the Valley, also known as the Greater Phoenix Area in 1991 when there weren't even any freeways! Today, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and a dozen other cities that make up "The Valley" are thriving,  hustling, and bustling. We have nearly 155 people who move here every day. As a Realtor I love the positive energy of not only the region, but the people who visit from blustery Chicago or crowded and expensive LA.  You can't help but be happy here any day of the sunny year.   Whether you are a buyer, seller, or someone looking to embrace a new lifestyle, here are the top 10 things to love about Arizona.

1. Outdoor Adventure: Arizona is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. From the Grand Canyon to the beautiful desert landscapes, there are countless opportunities for hiking, camping, and exploring nature.
