Review of Sierra Vista, Arizona


It's a "Screw You" type of town
Star Rating - 1/14/2006
You can tell that it's a military town - everything is overpriced! After living in a beautiful large 1 bed apartment in the Midwest that was only $300/month rent plus utils, we were "lucky" to find an apartment here in SV (that's 1/2 the size, without a bedroom) for $415 plus utils. It's almost impossible to find a job if you aren't a military contractor, and/or if you aren't fluent in Spanish. It's terribly boring, with nothing to do unless you drive 1.5 hours to Tucson. Overall, it's ugly, boring, and overpriced, and I don't recommend living in SV unless you HAVE to!!

I'm 24 years old and I agree it's a very boring place though the locals are very laid back, at least some of them anyway
