SperlingViews - Chino_Valley, Arizona

Chino has a very good climate, lots of shopping within 15 miles, many good eating places with in 15 miles. We have lived here 24 years and it is getting much more crowded, many more rules and restrictions, water which was very plentiful when we moved here is now getting scarce and restrictions are being talked about. Air quality is not near what it use to be. It's losing it's small town atmosphere, quickly.[read more...]

Chino is all together too full of very conservative authoritarian followers. It also has way too many police. The town itself has only twenty thousand or so people but over thirty cops. Which means that usually they are just driving around waiting to cite you for driving over the 25mph speed limit that prevails throughout most of the town. Aside from that there is very little culture or entertainment. However, it has a great winery!!![read more...]

This area is growing fast. Those who were trying to get away from the rush, from California and Phoenix for example, are now pushing north. The area is developing fast. Moderate climate here. In Chino Valley and Paulden areas, usually snows some during winter but rarely sticks around. You'd have to go 25 miles south the Prescott for slightly longer term snow. Flagstaff is a little more than an hour north of our area, Phoenix is about 1 1/2 to 2 hours south and Payson is about 2 hours east. Laughlin, Las Vegas and Kingman are between 2-4 hours west depending upon where you're headed. Nice central location for experiencing various areas and climates.[read more...]
