Sedona Sheep - 2/24/2010
I recently moved to the Verde Valley and landed a job in the Tourism industry to help pay the bills. I have never had to give up so much self respect in my life to land a job.
Sedona is the most evil place on earth, there is nothing spiritual about it.
These modern day sweat shops don't supply even basic neccessities for their employees. You must pay for your own training, certifications, and be expected to work for nothing unless you book a sale or a tour. These companys are hiring those of us that are so hungry we can't say no. If they continue to stifle the employees crime is only going to go up. People I work with must work 2 or 3 jobs to try and get by. The people that serve you in Sedona are peasants. Shame on all of you. Wake up and demand that the businesses you patronize pay their employees a fair

Fragile beauty - 12/31/2009
Sedona should have been a National Park. It is in a transitional phase in danger of being wrecked by business and developers, or protected by environmentalists. We shall see what the outcome will

Paradise on Earth! - 11/13/2008
Sedona is the most beautiful place possible for a first or second home. Residents are friendly and welcoming, well educated, active in the community and just simply happy people! The envoronment is exceptional and promotes a healthy lifestyle. There are many organizations and activities that appeal to almost every interest, cultural events are plentiful and the weather allows for outdoor activities (golf, tennis, hiking, etc.) 12 months of the year. Artists as well as retired CEO's love it here. Many other amazing places in the west and our most beautiful national parks are within a day's drive. The cost of living is low compared to some other popular places in the west. Phoenix, Scottsdale, Flagstaff and Prescott are a short drive away, but what a treat to then return to the serenity of home in this little Grand Canyon of the

Sedona is a tourist trap - 5/13/2008
I loved Sedona many years ago when it was truely spiritual now it is just a new age over priced tourist trap.Sedona's nature is absolutely beautiful which is why many move there but they soon realize it is a great place to visit not to live.The town is full of locals that are in religious cults(I'm serious) and if your not in their group they will not be friendly towards you.I would say take a long vacation there and really feel out the vibe before moving

Wonderful Southwest Climate in Sedona - 3/30/2008
Having lived in 10 states and 3 countries, I can honestly tell you that Sedona has the best climate of anywhere I've lived. We are located at about 4000 ft. above sea level. We do have 4 seasons, but they are on the mild side for the southwest.
Sedona gets about 2-3 snowfalls a year, which is absolutely spectacular on the Red Rocks, but it has melted by the afternoon. No snowplows necessary. I believe we have about 10 days over 100 degrees/yr. Whatever you see for Phoenix temperature on the news, figure we are 10-15 degrees cooler and we are about 10 degrees warmer than Flagstaff. July is the hottest month with average high being 96 degrees. Our coolest month is January with the high average being 52 degrees and average low being 37 degrees.
The highest himidty months are mid-July through mid-September which runs with the monsoon season. Some years the monsoon brings frequent rains during that time, and other years it doesn't produce the rains we'd like.

flat market - 3/26/2008
Sedona house prices approximately doubled between 2003 and 2006. Since then they have stagnated and come down a bit. The market is really quiet, but land and housing will always be scarce here due to lack of private land and use

Rimrock - 2/5/2008
Rimrock is a small country town approximately 5 miles north of Camp Verde, 25 minutes from Sedona and 45 miles south of Flagstaff. It's quiet, safe and the climate is moderate. Hotter than Flagstaff but cooler than Phoenix. It has a lot going for it. Close enough to Sedona to enjoy but a whole lot less expensive housing and cost of living.
Very low crime and easy, relaxed living. Lots of historic native american ruins/sites. Hiking, nature, absolutely great place to live.

Weather Sedona - 11/4/2007
We have lived here in Sedona for 12 years which would categorize us as old-timers. If a person is active, loves the outdoors and takes advantage of being in a place where hiking is out your backdoor than this might be the place. It is remote in that medical facilities and specialists are not too numerous so state of health might be a factor in choosing this area as a place to live. Also shopping for major purchases might take you to Flagstaff (a beautiful 45 minute drive north) or to Phoenix (a two hour drive south) Summer temps are typically high 90's to low 100's June - September. Depending on your tolerance for heat, this should be a consideration, especially if this is your primary residence. Many folks migrate elsewhere in the

Bring 2 million leave with one million - 10/15/2007
The price of food, housing and entertainment is very high in Sedona, The pe locals who used to be down to earth, are becoming very snobby.
The others are the second-home buyers who are very much the Palm Springs crowd.
It is a city of beauty and spiritualiy but it is overbuilt and destroying the red rocks for resorts and shops. Wages and benifits are very low. It is a beautiful place to visit though on the way to the Grand Canyon.
