so im thinkin about moving to arizona
 

in the mesa area.. anyone know any cheap apartments around there?

so far ive found a 2 bedroom 2 bath, 900 sq ft for $460.. much cheaper than where i am at now.

but anyone local have any info for better deals out there? :)

$460 for a 2BR in mesa is a really good deal...although some areas can be kinda rough. South Scottsdale is cheap but safer.

Also remember if you are only paying $460 a month - so are your neighbors...you get what you pay for.

my neighbors here are pretty shitty, but so are my roommates

i could handle it :winkwink:

Also consider if you are living in Ohio you'll meet some new 'creatures' that tend to live in those older apartment dwellings. Scorpions for one. You can get a new apartment in a good part of Scottsdale for $900 a month.

If you want some help ICQ me.

shit, you had to remind me about scorpions... wasps and scorpions are the only 2 things i cant stand

you are going to get stung so bad

use to always get wasps in my car while i was driving, lol

thats the worst.. swurving to the side of the road cuzz those shits will sting you when they realize they cant get out.

also bought a car once that came with a hornets nest hidden in the passenger side door.

was about to deliver a pizza when i got swarmed by about 30 or 40 of em.

shocked i havent been stung yet

Don't forget wolfe spiders, tarantulas, bark scorpions (the kind that climb vertically and check you out from the ceiling while you sleep), rattlesnakes, wasps, mountain lions and killer bees.

Welcome to Arizona...enjoy your stay!

LOL

Seriously though all those things do exist, my pest control guy comes to my house (I live in north scottsdale) and sprays once a month. Other than a cricket here or there I have only found one scorpion in the past year, and it was dead near my garage door.
Part of the reason is my house is new (no cracks or leaks for insects to get through) and I have the guys spray the hell out of my house every month.

cali is sounding better already :1orglaugh

LOL this is why I don't work for the visitor's bureau.

I came from PA...bugs and all nothing beats throwing out your winter coat.

very true

even in this apartment i hafta deal with pretty big spiders.

i guess their big, little bigger than quarters.

but scorpions and wasps look too much like aliens for me to be comfortable with :1orglaugh

Keep in mind that it's FUCKING HOT in Arizona.

Those are small spiders. Move to the desert, you'll see. :)

:thumbsup

Lol, I'm building a new house on some agricultural land in Gilbert and now you got me freaked. I went ahead and got the pest control tubing put throughout the walls so I'll see if that helps. Will be a fun transition moving from La Jolla.
