Not a good place to live
I lived in Kingman since 1978 and Kingman has grown quite a bit but not in a good way. It’s a horrible place raise children, housing costs tripled but not the wages. I will start with why this town isn’t good for raising children, after all the years there is still no activities for children, unless your wealthy enough to buy toys such as horses, ATV’s otherwise the only other activities are playing softball in 100+ degrees, church activities. A family can’t even go to the lake without it costing to go, it was $ 5.00 a car load to go to Lake Mohave now it’s $20.00. We cannot even enjoyed the nature resource of the Haulapai mountains without a cost, who ever heard of charging a fee to get cool in the mountains. The wages in Kingman are a joke along with the costs of housing, how does a family afford a decent home when their wages at most is 50,000 a year with both spouses working. People will say Arizona & Kingman is cheaper to live, it’s wrong, it may not costs in property taxes, but it costs in so many other ways. As soon as my husband & I can move we are going to. I encourage any young educated person to move out while you can before you are stuck like I was.
