House is for sale and looking to make a good move. Does anyone live in Prescott Az? I'm looking for a decent sized city (under 150,000) with a good overall climate, decent access to car hobby activities etc. Job opportunities are not a factor.

Nice area.
Great location between Sedona and Phoenix.
I have a friend who is a real estate broker in the area. PM me if you want a connection.

Arizona over California any & every day. Prescott was really pretty last time I was there, but fairly far from the population centers if that matters.

For relocating, I always recommend that folks 1st do some homework - Google, looking at maps, elevation/resources/taxes & etc. Then, rent a place in the proposed location and learn the area, check the "fit" so to speak. Only then, after you know you're Home, put down roots.

Prescott is ok most people live there because it's cooler temperature than Phoenix. However Prescott is higher in elevation so you bake quicker and you have humidity from the lake.

There's full shopping there Costco, Wallyword etc with plenty of places to eat. Whiskey road is cool and there is always something going on in the square.

We go to the swap meet and car show in the park which has always given us something to buy.

If I had a choice between Prescott and Phoenix I would go Phoenix just because of the amount of events in the winter months. Look at New River or North Phoenix depending if you want an acre of land.

AZ is great, my dad lives there. But if I was going to move, I'd strongly consider the Gulf coast of Florida. The car scene there is amazing; tons of shows, swap meets, cruise ins, drag strip and circle tracks galore. Plus it doesn't get as cold at night as AZ and there is no state income tax.

Too many kommiefornians moving east...its not as nice as it was, prices have skyrocketed for homes over the last 20 years. Look at some places like Mesquite, its only 100 miles from Vegas and the altitude is under 1000'

Chino Valley
I live in Chino Valley (to the North) and work in Prescott Valley (to the east).

Older conservative area with a bunch of car and 2A people.
Prescott is expensive real estate. Outside of Prescott is cheaper.
Check City-data.com for stats.
Look at trulia and windermere for housing, they both have good internet interface.
Temps are between PHX and Flagstaff, just as the elevation and map would indicate.
With the smaller population, you are not going to have the same ANYTHING as a large Metropolis like PHX. Not as many car clubs and swap meets, but also not the traffic.

IT'S DRY. Many people have no problem acclimating to it, but it is below 15% most of the time. You see pics of trees, but it's still the southwest.

You can move in with Moparpollock. I’m sure there’s you in the back seat of some of his junk.

I have spent a little time in the Chino Valley area and like it, I looked into the Prescott real estate and I couldn't afford it, Chino Valley looked affordable and close enough to the shopping areas and some decent restaurants. twocents

I'm on east coast Florida and sick of the Hurricanes. When I'm retired (if I live long enough) I would really like to relocate, if for no other reason than Hurricanes. Even without the Hurricanes, the salt air and overall high humidity in Florida. I've lived on Florida's coast for most of my life. I'm speaking from experience.
