This video is from our time living in Arizona and our channel was known as "Arizona Dreamz". We have since moved to the Midwest. New state, new channel name! We no longer make AZ content, but now focus on family vlogs of our life in Michigan.
Go noter dame hahaha hey where I been? How's the family
Being from the Prescott area I do highly recommend this area for retirement. Great place to live.
I live and work in Prescott (prounounced Preskitt like a biscuit). I have met some wonderful people from California, and I have met some snooty, non neighborly people. If you are going to relocate, learn the way the locals are and not impose upon us your way of life. BE NICE!!! That being said, Arizona Dreamz, if you would of stayed on 69 you would have seen a whole different side of Prescott. After you passed the Walmart on 69 you would have crested a hill where you can see Granite Mountain, Thumb Butte, and Buckys Casino which is lit up at night. I hope you were able to explore with your family as it is very picturesque. Great video.
Thanks for watching. We might have to come back and show some more of Prescott!
Im a friendly conservative from CA and was looking at Prescott! Are there anything someone should be aware of before relocating? Just wanting a beautiful, friendly, conservative, not too pricy compared to CA town. If you are able to answer that would be wonderful! 🤗
Great video! I'm glad you pointed out how the cost of homes doesn't match their true market value, especially for the income in the area, or job availability. Austerity... and Real Estate Greed. It's a setup for failure. You cannot have homes those prices if people aren't making enough to afford them. Right now it's like a grab bag where Real Estate agents are trying to take as much as they can before the housing bubble bursts again. Not to mention, it destroys "communities" when the people who live in the region (or people native to the region) can't afford the homes in their own hometown, only outsiders can afford them.
Yea!! Prescott!! Been there cars do drive much slower up there lol! Its a great place! That hotel you passed in the beginning I think I've been there!! And our church is up there the potters house Christian Fellowship!
LOVED THE TOUR
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
We have a large homeless population in Prescott Arizona...there isn't a lot of high paying jobs here... we have no industry to say social service jobs minimum wage and little bit above... there was rumor that they're building low-income housing here all the houses are quarter million dollars...this year we got over 3 feet of snow in one winter storm...the streets are crowded on the weekends primarily, really crowded visitors coming from all over the state and the country...if you come here to do some summer camping call three to four months a head... everybody wants to come here to tent camp in the national forest around Prescott...the lakes are all polluted they are off limits to swimming of any type... water table is very low here... we have been in the drought for about 15 years...With the increase of Californians moving here are water reservoirs are low at all times.
Funny, I just left a comment, where it reminds me of living in California. Very tight living, for a high price. I, personally, want away from that.
Spread the word . we need the population to stall or even drop id that's possible. To many folks are moving here. Willow creek road is miserable to drive as well as hwy 69 and in general most of downtown.
Great video!! Makes me want to explore Prescott even more now...I visited Arizona for the first time this year. I got to see Scottsdale, Sedona, Flagstaff, and Page. Now I want to move to AZ. Prescott and Payson were on my list but there wasn't enough time to see and do all of the things I wanted to
Well hopefully you’ll get to check out Prescott and a Payson on your next visit. Sounds like you got to see a lot of beautiful areas though. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your reply :) I applied for positions at a few hospitals in Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale and got an email back from (HonorHealth) Deer Valley Medical Center. Couldn't find much info on Deer Valley other than their wiki page. Do you know anything about that neighborhood? Or where I could live with a reasonable commute?
Not too familiar with Deer Valley but Anthem, Peoria, Glendale, Cave Creek or north PHX. It’s the 101 & I-17 freeways and I also believe there are some decent condos within a couple blocks of honor health.
My daughter is heading off to the college there in a couple weeks so these Prescott videos are great and very helpful! Thanks!
Glad you are liking these. I know a lot of my viewers are looking to see and get info on the East Valley, so it helps to know that the places outside of that area are helpful / welcomed as well! Thanks for watching!
Have her check out All Athletes Welcome Gym for an awesome place to train! A great young persons place in a retirement town :)
Thanks for the informative video.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!
Very Nice. I thought I never see such newer and cleaner homes. It's expensive $400+, but worth it. ;-)
400+ ha ! Try 1k plus in rent and anywhere higher in mortgage smh
@@Bornagain7202 uhm.. i think they mean the cost of the house, $400+ would mean around $400,000. Common for housing brackets to be listed that way by just dropping the 3 zeroes on the end.
Was a native Prescottonian from May of 90 until 5 years ago now, that town has changed so much it breaks my heart
You can say that of any place over the last 3 decades...
Great vid thank you sir 😎
Thanks for watching!
Oh!! Prescott! Nice video, next time something to do All Athletes Welcome Gym! Public garage style gym- we'd love for you to check it out next time :)
I will keep that in mind for the next visit!
Can you show Apache Junction in1960 when we lived there
My husband was Asst. Manager of Superstition Ho hotel also I want to see houses for sale now or housing developments.
Kinda reminds me of Castle Rock, CO
Love your channel I am looking to retire by the middle or end of next year..living in California where housing of course is crazy among other social and political stuff which is turning this once beautiful state into a nightmare..another topic for another time🥰
Looking at Arizona and Texas...would like to move to the central areas like Prescott valley Prescott or Chino valley where it’s not as hot..but I see the prices are going up...hope we can find something affordable by the time we move😳
Love you guys keep up the great work
You will find the cost of living in Prescott isn’t that much better than Cal
Nice area, wish I was 55 years old, cause I can't seem to find ANYTHING that's available for someone in their mid 20s...
Come check out All Athletes Welcome Gym if your'e into lifting! :) #wheretheyoungpeoplego ... haha.
Samee
That's why I had to move sadly
Prescott Native born and raised.. thank you for pronouncing the City, PreSkITT and not PreSCOTT.
And that big building by the Ranch off Lee Blvd is a Retirement "Community".
And fyi we dont have any "clubs" on whiskey row. We have Bars. It's the Old West.
Everywhere in Prescott you will go up hill. So houses onto of hills are very common. Everywhere in Prescott has a view.
And you really didnt even go into Prescott. It's mostly N. Prescott. Dont confuse that with downtown. They are completely different. Prescott is so diverse. Downtown is much more vibrant. Prescott is a "tourist town with a drinking problem".
I went to college there in 76 and stayed for 26 years designing over 500 custom homes and business in Prescott alone. Lindsey is correct. The tour didn't even go into Prescott. There are pine trees galore and the tour didn't show a one. But after Money Magazine in 1983 said it was the best small town in the country, has had too many people move in and pretty much ruin the small town atmosphere. It was great while it lasted. Still a great place, just more traffic to deal with.
I love that house
People have a very bad habit of ruining paradise by putting another parking lot.
Moved up here from phx 13 yrs ago never regret it. If you like small city livg. Prescott valley 43k pop prescott about 42k,,,,,2 hosp. Lots of drs. Probably not the greatest schools , but great retirement .
Glad you’re enjoying life in Prescott! Thanks for watching!
What is not so great about the schools?
How good is the healthcare in Prescott? Or do i have to go to Phoenix for great medical care?

- where did you get the grades from (weather b plus, crime c minus, etc)
Areavibes.com
I can't believe you didn't drive through old town and the courthouse area, it's by far the most Interesting part of town.
Driving around the place resemble Southern California. And how do they have new subdivisions if they have a lack of water? Housing requires water, utilities, services and good new roads.
Very close together (assuming small yards, as well), like where I am at, southern ca. It's nice, but I'm honestly tired of that type of living. Pay more money, for less. The trade-off being a nice area and weather, for condominium-style living. Like California, it takes a lot of money to have a sense of privacy.
Totally agree with your comment.
@@LivinOurDreamz im in Riverside California & searching to get out of state not shure yet on a state but Arizona is one. Cool video
I remember 30 years ago, when it was around 13,000...
Shut up old man
@@Ohh695 I was a kid then.. so I am not actually an "old man"... But you can keep your 1 cent opinion.
@@jacobw446 I don’t think “shut up” is an opinion, it’s a statement. You’re going senile grandpa
@@Ohh695 Older is wiser child.. Go back to your mommy.
This is so nice o f you to help. My husband is on the Mayo Clinic kidney transplant list. We’re seniors not ready for retirement. If we get our kidney in AZ. we’re moving here because we will always be connected to Mayo Clinic. Thank you!!!!!
Hope your husband gets his kidney soon and wishing you both the best!
What do you think about Kingman my wife and kids and I are going to be moving there in the next year I'm just trying to find as much out good and bad thank you very much
Tim Cooper id like to know too! Like weather and price of living, population etc
My wife’s job is relocating to Prescott. I’m wondering what the pay gap is like. We are from California. Looks like I might enjoy it there since I ride dirt bikes but not sure about anything else
I'm in the same boat as you. Moving there soon.. hmm..
I think you are totally lost guy!!! Hahaha!
Scattered. North, south, west, east gone. Everything in relationship to center of town unexistant.
Really nice area.does it get snow?
It does get about 12 inches of snow annually.
We can get more through the year 12 is the minimum
Great video!
May I ask where do you get those ratings from?
Why is crime so bad here?
Looking for a place to live in retirement and Prescott is on our short list.
Thank you for your help
I googled and found this: safest-cities-arizona
a lot of petty crime, like car break-ins, skews the statistics. Not much violent crime or even burglaries.
I heard a lot of New Yorkers are moving in
Is this Cliff Clavin from Cheers narrating???
Young Cliff
Ya you are saying Prescott right
Where's the grass? Lol
On the stats, I'd say crime is better than a C-, I'd put it like at a B+. There is pretty crime, but violent crime is rare. Prescott Valley though is having more crime issues, I'd put them at a C (I lived in the area between for about five years). The pricing issues with housing is because a lot of people are cashing out of California and buying houses which is really pushing up demand, unfortunately pushing a lot of younger locals out. Overall if you are older I think this is a nice area to live. Younger people unless you are connected and land a decent job in government or education (Embry Riddle) you might struggle. Weather is great, and it is pretty easy to land a place to live with some nice mountain views.
I wouldn't mind retiring in Prescott one day!
California is the worst. Ruining it for everyone on everything haha.
@@CapFlipGaming same is happening here in prescott
Our area was never meant to grow like it is. Its being forced on us. Im a local and refuse to be pushed out by the rich retirees or others.
I am thinking of renting there. What are the best places to rent?
I don’t spend a lot of time in Prescott, so I am not up to speed on the best places to rent.
Its way over priced and if you have a dog forget it
Prescott: What is the average temperatures during the seasons?
Summers can get into the 80s and even into the 90s. Winters can see highs the 50s-60s with lows in the 20s-30s.
On the surface it a nice town...there is hive mentality there ..so if they don't like you they will drive you out...known for gangstalking activity
The temps in the winter can go into the teens average low is in the 20s
Why are the houses all brown?
They like to blend in the houses with the desert colors (earth tones).
How they should be. They should blend into the natural landscape
Thanks for this video, leaving California for a job opportunity
Good luck on your move and thanks for watching!
Hey where u been sir
Nothing really exciting going on. We’ve been staying in a lot. lol A lot of winter illnesses going around the house has really affected our desire to do videos. At least two of us has been sick at one time the last few months. At times the whole family has been under the weather. But we will be back in action soon. Subscribers have been wondering what’s up with us, so we need to get back at it!
Go to white spare
Prescit?
It's how the locals pronounce it.
Also please remember
#DontCaliforniaMyArizona
Hello I've been to prescitt!!
Get off your high horse. You think everyone in California is from California? Everyone in California is a damn transplant.
I love your vids. But I just gotta say.. why are ALL the homes such a dreary boring beige? They all look about the same. I was in Prescott about 20 years ago, and loved the square area on whiskey row and the fun I had there!
The builders like to blend the houses in with the colors of the desert (brown, beige, tan, etc). I’d like more variety with the house colors myself.
So they blend in. Trust me the area was alot nicer before all these cookie cutter homes cut up our hills and erased the natural brush and grass smh
I lived in Prescott for the past 30 years. I am now on the road full time in my RV. On my channel, I have posted videos of dispersed camping locations south of Prescott and a small area north of Paulden which is way north of Prescott. If you are a ham radio operator you will find many repeaters in the area to use. If a ham should be reading this, write me for more information.
Is it really that bad for young people to move there and try to live a nice life? Why are the comments making it seem its not a good place to live?
To many people here.
Gotten very crowded.
Compare that to North San Diego County and you will have a new view of what is VERY crowded!
‘Gotten’ indeed....
Why do you pronounce it like that?
Here’s the backstory: prescottlivingmag.com/pres-cott-pres-kitt/
Can u go through glendale?
I plan on it. Hopefully in the next month or so if time permits.
@ΣXΩTIC herping_so_az I actually had moved to Arizona and got to experience it and it was beautiful I lived in surprise
@ΣXΩTIC herping_so_az that is so true the heat was crazy but ac being everywhere and places to swim actually made it better
They are going to destroy this place just like they did the Santa Clarita CA
Holly jackson who’s they?
#dontcaliforniamyarizona
@@lja1229 I think it's to late for that lol. calizona
Hard to destroy the desert....I went to Embry Riddle there a long time ago....Believe me, the Prescott today is a big improvement.
White and Hispanic is the same thing; European. Lol Usually "Hispanic" is the Mestizo population Half European Half Native American but varies DNA Amounts.
I don't know if you've ever been to the Palace on Whiskey Row, but their buffalo burgers are superb, in my opinion. You have to be insane to part with $15 to eat one of those, but I've done it several times and have never had any regrets (yes, it's proof that I'm insane) If you have the extra money, and if you like good cooking, try it out. You won't be sorry.
I have been to the Palace once. Did a video on it. Didn't get the buffalo burger, but the food was really good. I will keep that in mind next time I go back!
Bland, isn't it?
Lol!
I've lived in the Valley most of my life, having moved out here while in high school in 1974. It used to be nice 20-40 years ago. Now the Phoenix metro area is at best a sea of cubed shit-colored homes and at worst a slum full of shacks, dirty streets, and crazy people hopping down the street screaming from toothless mouths at the tops of their lungs. The air is filthy. The drivers are aggressive and stupid.
I was not impressed by Prescott. I do like Payson, though, and Flagstaff! And I have lived briefly or visited many other cities - some in this country, some elsewhere. Of all the places that I've been, Phoenix is by far the ugliest, the least educated, and the least supportive of anything that actually makes a city great. But, what can I say? It's home!
It's beautiful
I live in Prescott and we already have an influx of Californians. Please no more!!! They have drove up prices on homes, rentals, gas and food. Their driving habits are the worse I've ever seen. The town and county water supply can't keep up with demand. Now a corporation is trying to get a resort built next to one of the nicest places to visit, The Granite Dells. Most residents don't want you here except for the business owners and realty companies because the more of you here the higher they will raise prices. Stay in California or go somewhere else
All Californian's are not the same, some of us live in rural communities and are not the same as the typical Californian. But thanks for letting me know I'm not welcome.
Now you have an inkling of what Californians have had to put up with since the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s. People just keep streaming into California and crowding everything. Most "Californians" are from somewhere else to begin with. Now it's your turn to suffer from the influx.
@@donjones7232 Try going to Texas. They'll welcome you there.
Mortimer Snurd Give me a break. We have had to put up with way more from out of staters. More then you’ll ever know. That’s why native Californians are looking to get out. Most natives don’t want high taxes, high housing costs, or high population. Prescott is ripe for us, and there is not one damned thing you can do about it. So get over it, and be kind. We have hearts of gold. Good to know I will be living near some of my my peeeps.
Don't be rude
We are Americans, this is OUR country. We are free to move, live and enjoy the entire USA.
