Affordability
Arizona has a cost of living index of 107, on a 100-point scale where scores below 100 are more affordable than the national average. Home values average $428,711, and the average rent is $1,308 per month.

Arizona residents earn an average of $72,581, with higher earning potential in more metropolitan areas.
Entertainment and Recreation
No matter what you're into, Arizona provides plenty of opportunities for exercise, fun, and cultural enrichment. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Canyon de Chelly National Monument, Sunset Crater & Wupatki National Monuments, and Petrified Forest National Park, and sports fans will enjoy cheering on the Arizona Cardinals (NFL), Phoenix Suns Basketball (NBA), and Arizona Diamondbacks (MLB). For arts and education, Arizona has numerous museums, including Musical Instrument Museum, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Commemorative Air Force Museum, and Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park.
Climate and Weather
Arizona may be on of the top states where your move is least likely to be affected by climate due to the unlikelihood of extremely cold days and natural disasters. Average high temperatures reach 99°F in the summer, and winters average from 34°F to 61°F.
Education and Demographics
Arizona invests in education at every level. The state's 32.43% college graduation rate reflects a well-educated population, and institutions like Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University draw students statewide and beyond.
Making Your Move From Arizona Easier
Moving long-distance takes more than a truck and some boxes. It takes experience, planning, and a crew you can count on. American Van Lines has been providing that in Arizona since 1967.
There's a reason we've consistently been recognized by multiple national publications for our customer service, and why major corporations like Prudential and Progress Energy have chosen American Van Lines as their corporate mover.
We have decades of experience with long-distance moves across the continental US, including Arizona, so we know how to coordinate and troubleshoot moves of any distance, size, or complexity.

What to Expect When Moving From Arizona
Here's a quick look at how we handle your move from start to finish:
Start With a Free Quote
Getting started is easy. Request a free quote and we'll ask a few quick questions about your inventory, schedule, and destination to create a detailed flat-rate estimate.
Get Guidance From Your Coordinator

Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Arizona
- Book early. Secure your mover at least 4 to 6 weeks out, especially if you're moving in summer or at the start or end of the month.
- Declutter before you pack. Every item you get rid of is one item fewer to pack, move, and unpack. Go through each room before you start boxing anything up.
- Label every box. Write the destination room and a brief description on each box. It makes delivery day faster and unpacking less chaotic.
- Set up utilities before you arrive. Contact your new utility providers ahead of time so power, water, and internet are ready when you walk in the door.
Arizona may be on of the top states where your move is least likely to be affected by climate due to the unlikelihood of extremely cold days and natural disasters. Average high temperatures reach 99°F in the summer, and winters average from 34°F to 61°F.
- Account for statewide logistics. Moving out of a large state like Arizona means routes and timing vary significantly by region. Your move coordinator can help you plan around local considerations.
