Review of Prescott Valley, Arizona


Worst place to live EVER!!!
Star Rating - 8/10/2012
The speed limit is 25 miles per hour throughout the whole town you have to plan a day trip to get to the grocery store. on top of the ridiculously low speed limit, everyone seems to want to drive ten miles under the speed limit due to the speed traps all over town. The police force is completely corrupt. a cesspool of dirty cops. I personall have been pulled over for not turning into the "proper lane" also for not using my turn signal, not going fast enough when the light turned green, my tint on the BACK window was supposedly too dark, and one license plate light out. the place is crawling with cops who will pull you over for quite literally anything. the main travel route to prescott is 45 mph the entire 15 miles uphill, and riddled with stop lights. not to mention the dating scene. there is absolutely no where to meet anyone other than the bar which is not a savory place to meet the "man of your dreams". Also there is absolutely no where to take your kids to have fun. The zoo is tiny, many of the parks do not have baby swings and the ones that do, only have one baby swing. the only public pool in the town would not let us take our children swimming at 3 in the afternoon in the middle of summer because the highschool is so small that they cant provide their own pool for their swim team. How can a town full of fast food restraunts not have a single play place? There are plenty of restraunts that are not up to code and should be shut down with disgusting food and filthy dining areas. I once sat at a booth and looked at the wall next to me and there were boogers all over it. Needless to say i walked out and now do most of my cooking at home. next topic: shopping. half the stores in the mall are closed down and whats lefft sucks. everybody has decent cars and homes (which are over priced by the way) but theres no where to buy decent clothing. pretty much we got walmart, kmart, ross, and target. and the ross is tiny. all the kids around here end up partying or on drugs because there is nothing else to do. plus teen pregnancy is outrageously high here so you would think that they wouldgive us a place to take our kids to have fun but theres no where. so basically this is a horrible place to live also ranking in the top ten for worst cities to be single in the country. dont move here you will regret it!

Agree with everything you said. Planning to leave as soon as I can. I honestly think they are in read here. Lol. Lot is stupid people. No bookstores, no shopping, nothing pleasing to look at, and going to the grocery store is like the lane of misfits.
