Review of Prescott, Arizona


Phoenix to Prescott?
Star Rating - 7/22/2012
My fiance and I moved from California to Phoenix, AZ last year. WE can not stand it and surprise, surprise we are now expecting to have our first child at the end of the summer and our lease goes up shortly after that. We have learned we are not desert people at all, we miss the deep greens we saw in Cali and the nice weather and high elevation. We can not afford to move back with the crazy cost of living and found out that there is mountain like town here in AZ!!! We took a drive up there just yesterday and thought it was really cute and loved the weather and the look of everything. I am now skeptical reading the angry NY's post, As far as intelligence I don't think it could currently get any worse. But the drugs worry me, I just want to be able to move somewhere that is cheap because we do not have a huge budget at the morning but is also a great place to raise a child. When we took a look I saw kids playing everywhere outside, which I do not see here in the metro areas of Phoenix so I assumed it was a safe family oriented town. Is this place an upgrade from Phoenix? I just don't want to spend another year in a place I hate.

California is abbreviated as CA (according to the US Post Office, or Calif.) Cali is a city in the South American country of Colombia. Now please get back to American English, the unofficial language of our country. All this abbreviating 'slang' is destroying our native tongue.

No! Prescott is not a good place to raise young people. Do real homework on median age, income-COL disparity, violent crime (has now exceeded national averages), and—especially—meth and heroin use among young people. Sorry you didn’t know the truth about Phoenix. Here is some about Prescott.
