  • In this Kingman Arizona road trip we start in Phoenix and show you some of the small towns on the way. Some of the small towns include, Wickenburg, Baghdad and Wikiup. Once we arrive in Kingman we show you around the downtown area. Then we head over to the Hualapai Mountains. Its always good to get out there and explore around Arizona as much as you can. Since the state of Arizona is so large there are many areas of the state to examine and discover. Much more to Arizona than Phoenix and Tucson. Some of my favorites are Flagstaff, Prescott and ofcourse Sedona and the Grand Canyon.
    Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

    I lived in Kingman, for 8 years. Love the area. The housing market was totally reasonable pre-Covid. A house worth 60k is now 200k.
    If someone moves to the area, please please, research open range and what it entails. Nothing makes life more miserable than someone uneducated about it and then they constantly complain. Also, don't vote for the same thing you're leaving your state for. Lol

      We just got back…looking at land to build on for retirement. Main concern is some of the dirt roads seemed better for 4 wheeling. How do people get building material down those roads? Or should we stick to more compact dirt roads? I hubby thinks he can hire ppl to help him build. Ugh… I could go on.

    Kingman is high on my list of places to move to as my wife and I are splitting up after 23 years. While she wants to stay in CA, I want out, too much nonsense going on. Kingman reminds me a lot of the small town I grew up in before it got encroached upon. I like that Kingman is higher up in elevation which means it is a little cooler than Bullhead or Havasu, yet it is close enough to enjoy the river when it gets real hot. I think that is the main selling point for me, being central to other destinations. Also, I like that Amtrak has a station in the old downtown, for $50 - $80 bucks I can buy a seat and head back to CA and see my famiy or vis-versa, beats the drive. I have a buddy that lives in Albuquerque and taking Amtrak it would be an easy ride to visit him as well. Thanks for posting this video.

    Kingman was one of those gas stops we made as I and others were going to Cali from Texas on I-40. This last summer I had a trip to Phoenix and we got to go see the Grand Canyon (My first time and happy I finally did because I was born in Mesa and people all the time would harass me about not seeing it yet and being born in the state XD), went to Sedona as well as slide rock. Sadly wasn’t able to hike or anything because of the heat but sometime on my own I need to get out during when the weather is much cooler and hike more. I do also plan on sometime in the future living in the state after I finish my degree in Chemistry if I can find something out there with my degree and field. I haven’t really seen much of the state I was really born in and I really want to change that. I love to explore and just admire how wonderful nature is.

Younger adults have a harder time finding their place here, not a lot of them to do out here. However it is a wonderful place long-term once you're ready to live in a more rural area. Lots of off grid living areas. The sunsets are by far the most beautiful. Thank you again. Can't wait to see your next video.

Now if they could just get a handle on the vandalism problems. It has gotten better though and not nearly as bad as Kingman for crime.

    This is funny. I live in Tucson and have had 3 rattler in my back yard 2 gilamonsters in my yard. In the area behind my house I've had untold amount of coyotes and for a while we had herds of javalina getting in to our trash cans like 10 to 12 at a time. Its like wild kingdom out here. I live just out side of Tucson with a block of desert behind my house. You don't want all that wild life in your yard move to new york and you can have rats, criminals along with others trudging through your yard if you have a yard. Although that's new york city I hear the state is pretty nice away from the disease of that city. But if you like the rugged west Arizona is pretty nice just real hot in the summers. Arizona is so diverse you can live north and deal with snow a lot or down south and a lot of desert. You can get real mellow climate north of Phoenix but South of show low or flagstaff. Just don't come here with the stupidity you had in California. You screwed up that state don't screw up Arizona.

There is already an approved project to widen SH 93 from Nevada to this town, in preparation for the always-under-study I-11 to the southern border. I hope AZ gets its ducks in line, because international trade with Mexico is a must for US security. I guess my children will see that corridor at its fullest, one day…

      Not really anything decent. We lived there up until last year. We were looking to buy, but the mass exodus from Cali had hit and homes work maybe 60k were going for 180k+ . I have an example. Lol
      It was a 1960s model trailer with an addition added in the 70s on 2 acres, just outside of town. It was in fair shape needed work, it's listed price was 180k. 😂 Absolutely no way it was worth it.

      Kingman was a nice area pre-housing bust in 2007. Now it's turning greedy and hard far right extremist. I am sure you probably noticed the violent crime rates were going up from pre-covid. Now they are chasing away good paying jobs and politically more isolating themselves from the rest of Arizona and America. A lot of open contempt for hard working lower income people. Back pre-2007 if you were a working person, you could buy a place to live and live comfortably. Now it's impossible. I expect the home prices in Kingman to drop more than fifty thousand in the next couple years when people start realizing its an overpriced polished turd with an extremism problem, @@chikinmommy

      These Cali transplants are mostly retirees or consultant/remote workers? Lots of expensive trucks and SUVs in the last five years.
      I'm saving to move, the job market hasn't changed much in the last 35 years. I think the city council shoos away bigger businesses to keep their relatives in business. Witnessed this first hand years ago with Home Depot. One Walmart, lots of fast food, dollar stores and hotels. A nurse can make a decent living. This town had potential, but it's squandered by Good Ol Boys. It also has a history of being a sundown town that has lingering effects that I've had to live through as a kid.

Now they are downright Russia loving Maga commies! Politically Kingman and Mohave County are isolating themselves from the rest of Arizona and the United States! They are well on their way to creating another Tim McVey or worse. @@chikinmommy

    HEY...I lived there for 26 years working for the county. Be aware that this town is NOT the place to work or raise a family. IF you want to work there, be very careful what you sign. If you sign an employment oath with the county then you have signed your life over to them. As a right to work state, you have NO REAL RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE COUNTY. THEY CAN FIRE YOU AT WILL WITHOUT A REASON OTHER THAN THEY NO LONGER REQUIRE YOUR SERVICES. They also hire retired military officers to work in management positions. If your smart, stay away from those companies. Stop, take a few pix, then leave.

    Beautiful area with a lot of tin foil hat wearers, conspiracy theorist, Tim Mc Vey types, racist, drug and crime problems. It's tried to change its image, but it's always been a magnet for far-right extremism.
    It's not all bad just be careful where you buy. While prices are down in Kingman, they are still way over inflated compared to the prices pre 2007 housing crash. I'd wait to buy in the area if you are interested. I expect the average house cost will drop more than fifty grand over the next couple of years. This is a boom-and-bust cycle area.
    They are also chasing away good paying businesses. If you are younger or have kids that are going to be entering the workforce might not be the best place to relocate them to.
