Love it -
5/30/2022Moved here about 6 months ago from Temecula Ca. Overall…..love it! Low stress easy lifestyle. People are really nice here, very polite and kind. Not the prettiest people but…really nice. Bought a nice home in the Hualapai’s and the weather is perfect for me. Lots of nature. Town is older but it’s pretty clean no graffiti. Panhandling on the corners is common as the drug problem exists here like anywhere but it’s easier to see. I feel way safer here than In California. I always carried my gun in Ca here I don’t really worry about it. Much safer small town feel. Much cheaper to live here than Ca! $ goes further and far less stupid rules to live by. So far I’ve found pretty much everything we have needed for shopping. It’s quieter here and peaceful. Yeah lots of out of shape smokers but who cares that’s how they want to live none of my business. If you want to live in a nanny state this isint the place for you, if you want to live like it was in Ca in the 60’s than you will like it here. People drive the speed limit here much less of a rushed pace. Don’t get involved in local politics and drama and you won’t need to worry about much here. There is some resentment and whining towards people coming here with $ to retire and driving home prices up, boo hoo welcome to the real world. I only went 4 stars because infrastructure needs some work but it’s happening as money is flooding into Kingman. Businesses are doing well and it’s growing. Investing in real estate here is a good idea values are going up rapidly. I have to say the people here are the best. Honestly they may not be as polished as your used to but they are honest and helpful and kind. I hear people complain about the schools but….had to take my kids out of public school in Ca because of rampant drugs, crimes and racism with no penalties since Ca no longer enforces laws or suspends anyone.
Being a conservative law abiding respectful person I find that this is a really nice fit for me and my family.
