I'm from Detroit and was amazed at the cars here with hot rods, cruisers and vintage cars. It has a subculture that given most any subdivison has many guys/gals owning and restoring these cars. I have to say since moving here I enjoy it more than being back home.
All I can say is I've got neighbors who are polar opposites when it comes to politics. We all get along, help one another out, and have some great, neighbrhood parties. Of course, I can't speak for the entire city, but we choose to put friendship above disagreement.
Good video! Some of those cons were pros, except the cost of living (with related cost of homes), and wildfires. Wildlife is mostly good tho I'm not wanting to encounter a rattler! Are there scorpions up there like they have down by Phx?
Thanks so much! I've been told that are scorpions here, but in 20 years I've never seen one. I had a client that told me he found a dead one when cleaning out his basement. Either they are not numerous or they stay hidden...! You're right - having a "small town" vibe can definitely be a "pro."
Very interesting video. Thank you for putting it together. I liked and subscribed. One suggestion -- less of your face time and more of Prescott scenery. You are, after all, selling the real estate. Lastly, do you have a link to the Fire Wise grants you mentioned? Thanks - Scott
Many thanks! Here's a link to the Yavapai County Firewise page. You'll find a list of the area Firewise neighborhoods as well as info regarding the grant reimbursement process.
None of those "cons" were that way to me, fortunately. I live in rural northern CA with some of the most high priced real estate so home prices in Prescott were no sticker shock. Same with wildfires....we live with those around here constantly, plus tons of wildlife like bears, coyotes, mountain lions, rattlesnakes and more. I'm retired and if the sidewalks roll up early, no problem! I am looking to relocate next year and seriously considering this area. Thank you for the great, informative video. Loved it!
Are teachers in demand in Prescott? I'm a certified teacher looking to move to Prescott...is there a chance I'd be able to find employment as a teacher?
I know there are some local teaching positions posted, but I don't know the details. Here's a link to the PUSD employment page: www.prescottschools.com/employment . There's also BASIS and Northpoint Academy - definitely worth a phone call. Let me know if you find something, and good luck!
Beautiful place, been going up there for years. Cons, Be prepared for 1 political party, what used to be a fun frontier parade celebrating the historic rodeo/ 4th of July, has turned into a political parade, very few groups except politicians. Very expensive housing, in Prescott, no jobs. Your other option is Prescott Valley, which has some nice parts, but some is very poor and drug infested. Fun time getting to Phoenix / airport with the one highway often closed due to vehicle wrecks and wild fires.
Locals pronounce it preskitt you know like biscuit but with a P. The cons...its turning into Californians 2.0. We have more Californians here than Prescott locals anymore. The locals cant afford it here and are moving to smaller communities like chino valley, Paulden and Ashfork. Prescott used to be a quiet little town where you would get tourists in the summer and a handful of snowbirds in the winter. Now.....its Californian 2.0

You are right - there's a great car culture, with a number of local events, shows, club meets, etc. In fact, I need to make a video about it! Lol
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Very informative. Thank you Ered!
My pleasure!
I especially liked how you sort of glazed over the political issues; as in, "if you're tolerant of other views..." That was spot on.

Interestingly, the number of west coast re-los is rivaled by that of people moving north from southern AZ/PHX area to escape the high temps!
If you’re not an extremist conservative, you’re going to feel very uncomfortable here. Try to find some liberal friends and you’ll be in for a shock.
Con: men in dresses 🤣
Now that's funny...! 🤣
@@azkiltedrealtor love someone who can take witticism! 🤓🏜️
more videos of the area, less of you just talkimg
Working on it! Right now, I am a one-man production crew - writing, shooting, editing, etc. so doing the best I can with what I've got!
