Review of Prescott, Arizona


SUPERIOR PLACE TO LIVE
Star Rating - 4/25/2019
My wife and I have lived here now for almost 15 years. We moved from Scottsdale (Phoenix area) and have never looked back. Here's why Prescott is so good: Mild four seasons; easy access (1.5-2 hours) to a major metropolitan area (Phoenix) by freeway all the way; friendly people; decent enough shopping and restaurants and not expensive; conservative (generally) populace; no nonsense approach to crime and, therefore, there is little of it; laid back attitude; most people here don't care too much about what is going on politically in DC nor have any fear of unrest. Suffice it to say, this is a great place to live and do your thing; enjoy life the way you want to; without anyone questioning you.

Does Prescott suffer the same problems resultant from the influx of illegal aliens as Phoenix and Tucson do?

Good to know. Sounds like the kinda place I’d like to consider retiring to.
