Prescott…
It’s a lifestyle! I feel Prescott is an "almost
perfect" place to live. I hope you will too. Are you ready to make a move? Then
Prescott Arizona just might be the place. With its friendly "hometown" atmosphere, low
crime rate, mild four-season climate and proximity to a multitude of outdoor
activities, Prescott is definitely hard to beat.

Prescott,
Arizona is home to some of the most amazing natural beauty to be found in Arizona and
is a hub of Arizona history, tradition, art and culture. Surrounded by breathtaking
landscape and one of the nation's largest ponderosa pine forests, Prescott is a must
see for the outdoors person. Five crystal clear area lakes provide loads of kayaking,
canoeing and fishing opportunities.
Prescott's Courthouse Plaza is
the pivot around which the town was designed and built. Today quaint boutiques,
fantastic restaurants and an eclectic array of galleries featuring local, regional and
national artists surround this famous landmark.
From the
World's Oldest Rodeo
to the mile-high golf courses, Prescott Arizona has something for everyone to see or
do: antique shops, art galleries, museums, casinos, mini-golf, hiking, fine dining or
just people watching at the historic, downtown.
Many
of the old buildings such as the Yavapai County Courthouse, the Palace - Arizona's
oldest restaurant and saloon, and the first Territorial Governor's Mansion have been
preserved with great care. Beautifully restored Victorian homes with carefully
manicured lawns line quiet, shaded streets, and are among the more than 500 buildings
on the National Historic Register.
