Grew up in Chicago suburbs and moved to Phoenix area at 21 in 2019. Chicago is far more busy compared to Phoenix. I started in Tempe and now live in downtown PHX. I’ve liked every area I’ve lived here. Are there any specific comparisons you’re looking for?

Weather: Illinois has what feels like extremes of everything while Phoenix is more consistent and just has extremely hot summers (but the heat doesn’t feel as sticky)

Driving: Illinois has more traffic but I feel like people in Arizona drive worse despite significantly better weather conditions. I also prefer the highways out here.

Suburbs: Chicago has like 200 suburbs while Phoenix has just a handful of suburbs. Phoenix feels pretty similar to most of it’s suburbs.

How would you compare costs of living?
And are people pretty similar?

Definitely more aligned. There’s great hikes out here (I should really go on more) and I’m sure you can find a good tennis spot.

If you don’t want to get shot, i suggest living in PHX
