BORING

I have lived in prescott valley most of my teenage years and spent my twenties here. Most of the reviews on here are correct.... This is a low scale, quiet, boring town. It's incredibly hard to meet people here unless you're a bar hopper. The job choices are horrendous. Unless you love working the food or retail industry, finding a job is near impossible. Our mall is a ghost town. Old people go there to walk out of the heat. The streets are in horrible shape and are growing terribly overcrowded as the population here grows. The drivers here are infuriating. They drive so slow! It takes forever to get anywhere. For how low key it is here, housing is way too expensive. I pay one thousand a month for an upstairs apartment that I was on a waiting list for six months to get into. Unless you can afford an actual house, your only other option of housing is a duplex. P. V. is littered with duplexes and over the years I've lived in plenty of these. Every experience in a duplex I've had was horrible. Loud neighbors, thin walls, terrible landlords, overpriced. The education offered is extremely limited. There's one community College in prescott that offers almost nothing. The classes are so crowded that you have to be on the computer at midnight when the classes open to register or they fill up too quickly and you will have to wait for next semester. After two years of disappointment with my daughter's elementary school, I finally buckled down and enrolled her into a different one this year. Hopefully she won't go through four teachers in one year with this one.
There are no sidewalks or streetlights. There are no clubs. There is no bus system, which is ridiculous being that everything here is so spread out over the desert. There's slim pickings for shopping.
The weather is ok. You got to be able to deal with the heat and wind, it's constantly windy here. The winters are just cold and dry.
Needless to say, my family and I are looking elsewhere to live. I don't know why anyone, except for maybe older people, would actually want to live here.
