I was born and raised in Michigan, am 59 and have lived in Prescott for 9 years. My husband and I plan to stay here for the rest of our lives, and find it to be a great town. I am a liberal, spiritual but not religious small business owner, and I love it here. Yes, the majority are republican, conservative and nra-promoting, but I have many friends who think more like I do. There is a higher-than-average retired population. It is a very friendly town, strangers wave when you walk down the street, say hello and easily chat in stores. I started my small business here and it is thriving. Yes, it is extremely dry, but at 5200 feet we live in the 'high desert,' so that is to be expected. There are 4 seasons, with winter being fairly mild. Spring and fall are my favorites, with temperatures from the high 50's through the 70's . Mostly sunny (average is 277 days a year), summers can be very hot (into the high 90's at times), the hardwood leaves change colors in the fall, and we get a few inches of snow a few times in the winter. The dry air makes the 'cold' more bearable. Wherever you choose to live, a lot depends on your attitude. This is a charming town with an active downtown and many great community events. I highly recommend it!
