Review of Prescott, Arizona


LOVE PRESCOTT 15 yrs. now!
Star Rating - 2/26/2015
Best little town to live in and RELAX! I bought a home with gorgeous views of the gorgeous mountains near the Courthouse and it's non stop activities and all the great restaurants and shops. Super Organic Food Grocery stores, Yoga, I played tennis at Yavapai College where I also take classes. Made new friends at the bank invited me into their Bunco group, such fun....Weekends I love going to the Prescott Valley Flea Market, well known all over the Southwest for some amazing finds, take the dog everywhere, so dog friendly....Parks, hiking trails, great location 1 1/2hrs. to Phoenix, 4 to Las Vegas. NO big Airport to smog up the town. Art Galleries, friendly people, I met wonderful others from Ca. and Washington, Boston and New York, all delighted to find the quiet Bliss of Prescott. The History of this area with photos of Wyatt Earp on Whiskey Row, great upstairs saloons for Seniors like me to dance the night away. Plays, movies, good doctors, no traffic, freedom at last. I felt it was the place to settle out all my stresses, but I bought a great Commercial place in Prescott Valley anyway it was so perfect. Driving to Chino Valley, to Skull Valley and it's famous grocery store, there are still great parcels of beautiful empty land in this gorgeous state. The Weather in Prescott is divine, with all four seasons, but only light snow...clean air and sunshine. Prices are very good for Real Estate, food, etc. and the relaxed life style was only on my Bucket List before I found Prescott. My dog can't wait to get out and play and walk the Courthouse park with all the other canines and friendly owners. Tourists show up in the summer adding a nice mix of new happy faces, and helps the local economy. Great place to live if you work in Computers or other work from home businesses. Prescott is a slice of heaven to me. There's a great Adult Center with exercise classes, the Sunday Buffet on top of the mountain overlooking all of Prescott is a must. Being grateful for all I am and all I have here makes me want to greet the day every day with a big smile.

This is a beautiful tribute. Alas, most of this description no longer applies.

What a wonderful review. This sounds like my kind of place. I am living in southern California mountains and need a tax friendly state to retire in a few more years, God willing. Your review is a positive influence and I thank you for taking the time and effort to write such an informative review as well.
