I first arrived in Prescott in 1991 When the old Cornet was still there... The Walmart Between PV and prescott hadn't even been built yet.... and lived on Scott drive near the elementary school.... I lived there for 5 years .. Prescott was just starting to get bigger and PV was still small and the 2 weren't connected yet. ...moved to cottonwood and eventually left the state 1997. I went back in 2013...wow what a huge change. I could only imagine till now...
What a nice video - great voice and very informative. My husband and I coming to check out the town very soon. Thank you. If we retire there, we will be calling you to help us find a place.
Very nice and thank you for not having loud music . looking for a home something outside ,maybe Chino . Will be there around June ,July I'll look you up thank you so much great job.
We have been in a bad drought for the last several years. We usually have a decent amount of snow by this time and it's much colder. I didnt even have to wear a jacket by halloween which is way out of the norm ive lived here since i was 4 by the way
There is some crime. Every area has crime. You can check the Prescott police department for crime stats. Unemployment is low in Yavapai county due to many of the people being retired. Homelessness: I have seen a few people in the area but have no stats on that.
How funny! Was surfing TH-cam and came across you Bill. This is Gregg Gerber ( john's brother) all the way from waikoloa village, big island. Probably been 30 years since I last saw you.
Thanks for the video, great info... I’m moving to Prescott and will be working as a faculty member at Embry riddle university, I’m looking for a decent 2 or 3 bedrooms apartment rental near college of arts and sciences... please advice me with prices and location... no car available yet... also advice with outdoor lakes for swimming. thanks. Omar
I was born and raised in Prescott and moved to Georgia when I was 15 so I haven’t been back to visit since then! It’s changed sooooo much!! Prescott is an amazing place, I literally had the BEST childhood because of it! Do y’all still have the craft fairs at the downtown square?
I've a dually looked up the stats and it's under 50k but who's counting.also can we help to protect our rural areas from massive growth, many of us who grew up here prefer the open space and u touched land, we do t need every square inch of land engulfed in homes and bussinesses, we don't need to be another PHX
Good info, looking to move in a couple years. I love AZ. but have limited my travels to Flagstaff, Sedona, Cottonwood. I have driven through the Prescott Valley but have never visited city of Prescott. I was looking in Cottonwood at some houses/condos but it was so hot it kind of turned me off. I live Palmdale, Ca.it's hot here Lol! Our elevation is approx 2600 feet in town, where I live is about 3k feet. The Temps in summer will get upwards of 110°F.
So far no water issues. Some of the wells in the area have experienced a drop in the water table but no problems with the city water companies. That is why it's important to hire good help.
one of my great grandfathers lived in Prescott , always send letters to my grandma with cactuses and a guy with a guitar.. now i see why i get called navajo
I live in Louisiana, to me it sucks here, nothing but rain 80 percent of time, horrible weather, I really like Arizona, wanting to move there because I love outdoors, I am a firefighter so im wanting to know about the fire fighting jobs, and im looking for something that is rural, not in a town or city limits, what would be an average rent and or house cost in a rural area within Prescott outside of the town or city limits?
Many firefighters live in Prescott and commute to Phoenix. Very hard to get on at any fire departments. The hot shots might be something you could get on with. Good money fighting forest fires. Rural areas you are looking at $150k and up
1) shooting class III weapons with tracers (unless it's fire season) 2) blowing shit up with tannerite (unless it's fire season) that about sums it up..
Dose Pit, Forest Service roads off of Contreras Road, on BLM/Forest land west of Las Vegas Ranch out by Camp Wood, Coconino Forest land up by Flag. Just to name a few. Why?
Zack agreed some of the area's cost a little money which I am not happy about either. Problem is people litter and take advantage of the area which causes them to charge. All of the trails I go on do not require payment. Out White Spar and all over Groom Creek and Wolfe Creek.
Go to Prescott Police Department and Yavapai county Sheriff office for crime stats. Good paying jobs are tough. Top employers are county government, Yavapai regional hospital, Yavapai college, casino, Ruger guns, Fann contracting.
Bill Iannelli looks like a great community , but as a 34yr old semi skilled man i doubt i could make as good of a living there , i live in DFW Texas and finding a good job here isnt hard at all , you can make 20$ per hr with a warehouse or truck driving job with decent benefits with little education, theres just so many people , thats the only downside, that and the lack of mountains. Thanks
@@tomneal5913 need work to get up to code? If they did not meet code to begin with the city or county would not have allowed the home to be finished. My experience is the city I'd very strict regarding building codes. The county is a little easier to build with.

They are starting to fix the roads. Especially the downtown area roads. Property taxes are about 1% of the value of your home. The minimum combined 2020 sales tax rate for Yavapai County, Arizona is 6.35%. This is the total of state and county sales tax rates. The Arizona state sales tax rate is currently 5.6%. The Yavapai County sales tax rate is 0.75%.
@@Onebillyi2753 Evasive answer ,At an average that's around 2K/year. You would think that roads wouldn't be in such disrepair. Another case of crooked political leaders at the county level.
Good luck finding anything but a dump for under $600-700K. Believe it, I live here! Don’t forget about mentioning an estimated 10,000+ people moving here each year (primarily CA, WA & OR - many wanting to turn this state “blue”), all the druggies & drug rehab centers, section 8 housing, all the new roadside trash, horrible traffic due to lack of roads, all the mega housing development projects, etc...

Thanks for the video. My family is hoping to move to Prescott area in the near future and I found this very helpful.
Awesome video!! We are considering relocating to Prescott and this video is extremely helpful.
Nice tour and information thank you.

Thanks Felix. Glad you liked it
I recommend Dewey-Humboldt Chino valley or places out in the back of Prescott or coyote springs area in Prescott valley if you wanna get out of town
Thanks. Very helpful!
Nice of you to post this info and a wonderful view of the town. You mentioned this was filmed in December which is surprising to see the sun shining.
Thanks Terri. Look for an updated one on Prescott in a few weeks.
We have been in a bad drought for the last several years. We usually have a decent amount of snow by this time and it's much colder. I didnt even have to wear a jacket by halloween which is way out of the norm ive lived here since i was 4 by the way
From Tucson AZ! Prescott is great!
Thank you for this informative video. Very helpful! Prescott looks lovely. Considering a move in a few years.
Thanks Stacey, let me know if I can help

I Love "TUCSON" AZ!
why
Looks like a nice quiet town compared to living here in long island ny
I'll be in town next weekend from ft.lauderdale. do you cover Mayer, AZ
Yes
Have visited numerous times & fell in love....waiting for retirement!!
I was born and raised in Prescott and moved to Georgia when I was 15 so I haven’t been back to visit since then! It’s changed sooooo much!! Prescott is an amazing place, I literally had the BEST childhood because of it!
Do y’all still have the craft fairs at the downtown square?
Yea fair's and many other activities on the plaza in the summer
Don’t bother coming back, you’ll for sure be disappointed to see what’s happened to your town!
These real estate people making these videos care nothing about ruining this town. Just care about trying to put cash in their pockets!!!

Thinking of visiying. My best friend lived there.fire chief Steve Lombardo!!
Lot of childhood memories there.
Great video! And only the housing was 30% cheaper I would move there in a second. How are the IT jobs?
A good IT job would be very hard to find. Maybe government or school IT jobs would work
IT jobs are very little, maybe a handful if that. I work in IT with a small locally owned and operated WISP.
one of my great grandfathers lived in Prescott , always send letters to my grandma with cactuses and a guy with a guitar.. now i see why i get called navajo
"Iannelli" - a good Italian name!
I live in prescott
I literally go to that library every day! 😂 5:13

And then the Snowbirds arrive which swells the population of Prescott to 200,000. And that Traffic! Woe to the people.
Snowbirds? Second houses for Phoenix people to escape the heat for weekends. The snowbirds flock to Phoenix not Prescott.

Hi there, what is the main activity in Prescott and generally in Arizona?
1) shooting class III weapons with tracers (unless it's fire season) 2) blowing shit up with tannerite (unless it's fire season) that about sums it up..
Where've you blown tannerite up round here?
Abbas Luffy there's really no main activity it's what ever you find to do really
Dose Pit, Forest Service roads off of Contreras Road, on BLM/Forest land west of Las Vegas Ranch out by Camp Wood, Coconino Forest land up by Flag. Just to name a few. Why?
sempertard ..and Golf, don't forget golf.
Prescott Native and still here and thank you for pronouncing it Preskitt and not PreSCOTT.
Tomatoes ,Tomatoes ,who cares. I should have a nickle for every time some says that about Preeescottt. Get original please.
It's spelled PreSCOTT.
Damn the price jumped up significantly.
@Sysiphus Syziggy got that right
What about RV rentals business for tourists camping and such?
I dont know of any local RV companies that rent for camping. Phoenix has some companies that rent them.
Ok, 🤔 how do I get in touch with you
Give me a call 602 463-9166
Whisky row teddy Roosevelt and the ruff riders
he just drove past my house :-)
Press-cut? I was calling it Press-cot
Pres kit or Press cut Don't say pres scott
All of those activities cost money. You gotta pay to get into the Parks.
Zack agreed some of the area's cost a little money which I am not happy about either. Problem is people litter and take advantage of the area which causes them to charge. All of the trails I go on do not require payment. Out White Spar and all over Groom Creek and Wolfe Creek.
Used to be Wednesday's were free. And you can purchase an all park pass
Wish there were more engineering jobs because this looks like a great place to live.
Yea the higher paying job market is tough. People make money elsewhere then move to Prescott
I guess people like me need to move in, start companies, and change that =D
Bill has anyone ever told you that you sound exactly like John Schneider (Bo Duke)?
That's funny. Never got that one get a lot of bill Murray with my dry humor
It's interesting how they pronounce it as "presscut". But when in Rome....
I’ve been hearing press-cit lol I say press-scott lol
I would like to know how you go hunting, fishing, etc without spending any money.
Bamboo pole, dental floss, hook and creek. Homemade musket. Seriously $37 bucks for fishing license. You know what I mean Ronnie
Liberal or conservative? Is it windy there?
Pretty conservative. March can get windy. Prescott Valley has a little more wind due to lower elavation and terrain
@@Onebillyi2753 thanks
How mutch does 2 two - room apartment cost ?
Depending on what area you can get a two bedroom apartment in the $750 to $1000 range
Depends on the area Roger. Prescott proper would rent up to a $1000 for 2 bedroom. Prescott valley will be in the $800 range depending on area.
Whats the crime rate like, and what type of industry & jobs are available?
Go to Prescott Police Department and Yavapai county Sheriff office for crime stats. Good paying jobs are tough. Top employers are county government, Yavapai regional hospital, Yavapai college, casino, Ruger guns, Fann contracting.

There are a few 6-10 year old lemonade-stand felons here and there, but generally it's pretty low depending on what part of town you are in.
It read that the average age for males is 54 and females is 57 for every 95 males there is 100 women
fo construction unions work in Prescott?
Not many unions Max. Right to work state. My dad was in electrical union years ago in prescott as a electrician
Beware when buying a house. A lot of them put together with “cowboy engineering”, so need lots of updating to code.
