User Reviews:
1. From "Samantha H.": "I've lived in Douglas for over 10 years and it's been a great place to raise my family. The cost of living is very affordable and the people are friendly. However, the crime rate has been increasing in recent years and it's definitely something to be aware of."
2. From "John R.": "I moved to Douglas for work and it's been a mixed experience. On one hand, I love the small town feel and the beautiful scenery. But on the other hand, the crime rate is a major issue and it's hard to ignore. I would recommend this place for retirees or those looking for a quiet lifestyle, but not for families with young children."
3. From "Maria S.": "I've lived in Douglas my whole life and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The community is tight-knit and there are always events and festivals happening. However, the job market is limited and the cost of living can be a challenge for some. Overall, I am happy with my decision to stay here."
4. From "David B.": "I moved to Douglas a few years ago and it's been a great change of pace. The weather is amazing and there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. The only downside is the high crime rate, which can be concerning at times. Despite that, I still enjoy living here and recommend it to others."

Douglas A desert SCAM to avoid. - 5/4/2019
I have been here 5 years. Came here because of a popular real estate scam. Out in the desert Is a subdivision on Paper. As the lots are sold at tax auction they are listed on EBAY. The buyers are crooks. The secret here is that these properties are WORTHLESS. The sellers show pretty pictures and imply all sorts of cute uses. Why? they want your money. The real Secret is AZ desert land has 0 zero value. You may use it for nothing. No camping rvs etc. Nothing. Call 5203681361 I will explain.

Life in Douglas - 2/4/2014
I have lived here since 1975.I met my wife here, married, raised our family, bought and paid for our home. As I prepare to retire I am saddened that we will probably relocate away from the border. We have been fortunate and blessed here by having been spared the proximity to Mexico's drug gang violence, until recently.
I strongly suspect the move ever closer is a result of the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado and all that implies.
Douglas is nice small town, friendly residents, best weather in the world, and just far enough away from city life to make the trips to Sierra Vista and Tucson entertaining.Medical facilities are poor and unlikely to improve judged by past history. the older we ghet the more it seems we are on the road
