- In this week's video, Why Californians are moving to Prescott, AZ, we'll dive into 7 reasons we think they're coming here. California over the last few years has seen the largest out of state migration ever. But why are they drawn to this mountain town in Northern Arizona? Here's just a few thoughts of why.
**NOTE** WE ARE NOT FROM CA. Nothing against Californians, but Both Shawn & Tiffany and I were born just a few hours north of Prescott in a small town of Henderson, NV and first moved to AZ in 1996. While we've lived in several areas and states in our adult lives, we've always considered AZ our HOME even thought we weren't born here :)

Always love your content. I’ve been a CA cop for 23 years and my wife and I are one them. We bought our second home in PV back in May of 2022 with the intent of fully retiring there in the next 2 years. We planned ahead. I’ve lived in CA for the last 36 years and I’ve seen this once Great State become overrun with homelessness, high crime, increases in taxes, cost of living, gas, housing and constant restrictions. If it’s not one thing it’s another. When we make our final move, we will continue to support and respect the people of AZ who’ve made it what it is today.
Just stay where you are. We don't like trolls here.
Hit exactly on all the points we bought our vacation/retirement home in Prescott! Excellent videos and content!
I'm from CA and considering a move to Arizona. So your insights are very much appreciated. When the time comes, I'll reach out.
really do your homework with the medical scene, the hospital is a joke if you need any major surgery etc, youll have to go to Phx or Flagstaff for care
@@livinginprescott yet my dad had back surgery and was killed, double pnuemonia, no ICU, knicked aortic valve, and overdosed on narcotics. 16 years later and the bedside manner and quality hasnt changed, even with primary care providers, my mum was going to Family first care in Prescott Valley and they neglected to adress her failing hips and continued to insist it was her back for 6 plus months until she struggled to walk, 4 plus months later ad she is only just now seeing a cardiologist and cant walk at all now, all because they neglected and declined to prioritize and meet her concerns and needs and also found out she may have had a heart attack, yet when Family first care first did a ekg, all they told her was she had a "sick heart" and never bothered to refer her first thing to a cardiologist for that alone. so sorry but my faith in the medical scene here is dead
@@Bornagain7202 I agree with this 100%! No one tells you this. Very few doctors are accepting new patients so you end up with whatever office will take you vs being able to choose the doctor you want. And you will wait months for that appointment. It's way different than CA.
Just don't vote in the same scum you probably voted in California.
Please no. Stay there.
The truth is the rest of the country saw California on the tv and in the movies for the last 75 years. They came, and along with wealthy foreigners priced out the locals and ruined what was once a great place to live. The newcomers also brought their voting habits with them. I moved out of CA 20 years ago because I saw it was a failing state. So my sympathy is limited when the rest of the country is hostile to and complains about Californians moving in. You all are getting exactly what you gave CA for the last 75 or more years that forced me to uproot my life and move from my home. I am looking at AZ for retirement. I want to be friendly and neighborly and part of the community. But for those that want to hate on Californians and be hostile, that’s unfortunate but we can do it your way too. I much prefer the former.
Where do you live now? Northern AZ Prescott and Flagstaff are beautiful. Phoenix, Scottsdale etc are not(the weather is intolerable)
One of my relatives in Prescott is a retired cop. But my electric apprenticeship is in Tempe. So politically sometimes you have to go along to get along.
What are you saying?
thank you for this video - I just moved here and and am not familiar with the hiking trails that can be easily accessed. It's just me and my dog, could you recommend of couple locations?
Thank you. We ❤ Prescott. It's our retirement dream.
Our pleasure! We love it too!! If we can help in anyway let us know. Thanks for watching.
Freedom is Priceless! Go, Prescott!
Absolutely!! Thanks for the great comment!!
Considering PV, I have a relative who's moved there, and loves it. Bought another home in PV as a rental home. My wife and I are semi-retired, thinking PV is a new chapter in our lives.
Same with us, but to Camp Verde!
I've been livening here for about 2 years now and bought my home 4 years ago when prices were reasonable. And yes, I was from the left coast. I think one thing that wasn't mentioned is the people. The people here are very nice, considerate and caring. A big draw for us. I'm a big hunter and off-road enthusiast so I'm in heaven. Leave your politics where you came from and come and enjoy freedom. The one thing that sucks is the builders and relators have driven the housing prices through the roof. Pricing any locals right out of the market.
Sooo... you like to kill animals for fun. Hunting is cowardly, bro.
Why blame realtors? Sellers want highest price they can get!
@@desertrat2021 Only the ignorant think that realtors have anything to do with home prices.
"The one thing that sucks is the builders and relators [sic] have driven the housing prices through the roof."
Please explain to me how "Realtors" drive up home prices.
over the traffic and city living except the more people move here we are gonna end up being overcrowded
its not relative for the locals
Every city in the USA is getting overcrowded thanks to open borders.
The cost of living, rent increasing in Prescott is because of the Californians! And im not alone in my thinking. Their ploitical views are another issue. Housing has become an issue for almost everyone i know in Prescott and i blame Californians!
How about everywhere in the nation has gone up on everything pretty ridiculous you blame that on people from California, most of the people from California are leaving to get away from all the bullshit and not bring it here but assimilate to the way of living here
I watch all your videos…you guys are awesome! Thank you for the helpful information! I hope to be calling you someday! Kim (in CA)
Are there bigger lots of land for sale in Prescott or do you have to drive further away? like Chino valley?
Yes there are lots in Prescott including Williamson Valley area about 15-20 minutes away.
Yes, you will save some on gas but you will be drive two or three times as much because nothing is close. I guess people will just be running from state to state and things deteriorate. In California my market was one block away and others were 1-3 miles away. All of my doctors were within 10 miles and I could see any expert specialist without a referral in Los Angeles. The hospital was 3 miles away from my house and I made several trips there (unfortunately) and was able to be seen right away. DO NOT have an emergency here or get sick.
@@livinginprescott Nothing nice available at this time. Housing around shopping is either $1MM or old and run down. I've been all over Prescott and PV. Just warning those in circumstances like mine. Wish I could turn the clock back.
@@livinginprescott Little houses. To get something comparable to my house in California I would have to spend $1MM. And if you buy something to upgrade there are almost no skilled tradesmen here. Tons in California. Nope, Prescott is good for some but people need to live here 6 months to get the truth about Prescott.
@@lindamerrickkasko2385 not realistic view at all in my opinion.
Houses in my neighborhood are going for 750-800 k and that is on .75 acre and 10 minutes to Hospital and Grocery stores.
As far as the trades go- A craftsman is not going to remodel your house for 25 or 30 a hour.
As in California- craftsman are in high demand- and get California wages
@@DaveEPie I restate. Just come and live here at least 6 months before you make the move. Always good advise. Don't look back in despair.
Costco gas in So Cal was $3.89 this week not $1.00 higher and eggs are $7.99 dozen
Perfect, no reason to leave so cal
We're moving from California to Arizona on Sunday (YAY 👐🏻😃👐🏻) for my husband's work; any info you might know on Tiny Home placements in Prescott?
Thank you 😊
@@livinginprescott thank you so much! We will be looking around once we're up there next week... if we have any questions, we'll be sending a comment your way 👍🏻
@@chercatzizzle So, what did you find?
@joevarga5982 nothing so far, but we are continuing to look... hopefully something come about more towards the Early Fall?
@@chercatzizzle What are you looking for exactly? A tiny home? A vacant lot for a tiny home? What's a "Tiny Home placement"?
@joevarga5982 We have a tiny home already, looking for land to put it on, primarily with septic system already there.
In the 90’ & 00’s, it might have hit high 90 degrees- never 100
Wish we could say that for this past summer! We had some record heat this summer. Many days over 100 🥵
Ca has everythng without the heat! california ferrari arizona is a mini van!
Yeah but mini vans can be so much more practical, and I am not a mini van fan. Plus Prescott has cooler temps fun fact Los Angeles had a higher high temp last year than here. Think I will stick with Az! You can enjoy Cali. Thanks for watching.
Property taxes declined two years in a row now.
Doesn't anybody in Prescott work for a living? It's next to impossible to shop downtown. There are virtually no open parking spots available. Who wants to park a mile away from a store and walk?
Nobody works here because the average age in Prescott is, dead. The cars downtown belong to PHX weather refugees. They clog Prescott once school is out and temps hit 100+ down there.
@@livinginprescott I think in this case it may have been the Rodeo Parade and the firefighter events just before the 4th.
@@GulliblePrescott-cj3gv Oh. Crap.
Maybe the walking will improve your negative attitude and get your mind in shape.
@@maxfit68906 I'm not the one trolling on here. YOU are, fool. Maybe get a life.
Reaganite living in filthy CA and working in the tech industry. Have had my eye on Preskitt for a while now. Looking for 1 or 2 acre property. Tired of having neighbors so close eventhough we live in a single home. Looking to spend the 2nd half of my life in more semi rural area, but with amenities like hospitals and such. Preskitt seems to check all the boxes. I've been getting a lot of my info from you guys. Thanks for all the great information I really appreciate it. We plan on visiting Preskitt and the surrounding areas in spring time. Maybe we'll hit you guys up if you are not busy. Been also looking at NV Sparks,Carson city. Hoping the housing will drop as all the analysts say. If I didn't work in tech we'd be out years ago. Things once a convenience is now an annoyance. Thanks
Western South Dakota is better, check that area out. Rapid City, Spearfish, Deadwood.
🤓 stay in California
If they vote blue remember what that has brought Kalifornia & why they running.
We're moving to Arizona and PRAYING it's mostly RED... Leaving Commie-fornia because of the disreputable BLUE ideology 😣👎🏻... have had ENOUGH!
@@chercatzizzleGet your license plate changed asap - we hate nothing more than seeing those cali ones. Also your plate frame if you have one. And get an American flag up too!
Thx 4 info. Coastal Cali Gang.
Great, AZ is CA 2.0 , and that is not good. Unfortunate that Californians have ruined this State.
I think Prescott if far different than Phoenix, Tucson or even Flagstaff. I personally have seen change I don’t care for down in the valley but haven’t seen it in our area other than the growth.
You ruined my state in the 80s and 90s stop coming to our beaches and anmusement parks!
fixing voter fraud is the key especially in maricopa county. you'll have a very different opinions after that. i believe most Californians leaving are conservatives ( PPIC Statewide Surveys) . I'm one of them & coming to Arizona soon with my MAGA hat 😂
this place sucks for retirement. Peope need ot start doing their homework, the medical scene is a joke and the Hospital is lousy at best. too many peopel are moving her and yall are casuing the same thing that happened in California with cost of living to occur here
@@livinginprescott that either makes them lucky or they have a lack of standards. I have been here since i was 4 since 99' and since 2005, I have been very much aware of how this town has changed and how poor the medical scene is ! new residents arent really a good judge of character or good reference for the area when they really dont know it like locals do
I am too young for medicare and I have BlueCross/Blue Shield insurance, as it was one of the only two choices available to me since I do not get it through employment. So for me, the healthcare situation IS an issue here. It is hard to find a doctor who is even taking new patients, never mind my insurance, and the wait for an appointment can be months. There isn't much choice when it comes to specialists, you will probably be driving to Phoenix. Same with veterinarians,, same with dental. It is the only thing I really hate about living in Prescott.
@@SlapDashSnap the medical staff here are mostly incompetent too or just dont care and care more about making money than for the real reason they got into teh profession
Right on! Wish I'd done my homework. Do not come here if you have medical problem. You will be driving the 17 at 90 miles an hour to keep up with traffic to see a doctor in Phoenix or perhaps Scottsdale or Flagstaff. I have spoken to two people since I moved here that had horrible problems from surgery here and had to see doctors out of state for repair. I only see doctors here for the most basic stuff and just see whoever is available because a doctor appt takes 4-6 months. It is a money saving state but you'd better evaluate how much it will actually cost you to move. If you are older you may never get that money back
