Moving from Arizona to Illinois

Chicago’s world-class urban amenities and distinct seasons attract Arizona residents craving cultural sophistication and climate variety. Illinois offers the metropolitan opportunities and career diversity that Arizona’s smaller cities cannot provide, particularly in finance, manufacturing, and transportation. The dramatic seasonal changes and beautiful autumn colors provide visual excitement and outdoor activities impossible in Arizona’s monotonous desert climate. Illinois’s Great Lakes access and water recreation opportunities contrast sharply with Arizona’s water scarcity and limited aquatic activities.
