My biggest problem is the cost of living. My god does it get expensive in a lot of places. The minimum wage is quite a bit above the national average which helps but unless you have a planned job already I wouldn't risk it. It's a tourist town which contributes to the traffic. A lot of people here hate phoenix people because they are fast and reckless in the snow, they are usually the ones casing accidents or backing up traffic. Lastly things seem... Unorganized. From the schools to the mayor it's a little bit worrying how little some things are planned out but I guess it's expected of a laid back town

Ambulance, Firetrucks, train sirens going off every morning at 4AM. Hardly anybody on the streets that early but Ambulance & Firetrucks will drive up & down the street with their sirens blasting. This town says they have a noise ordnance code but they don't enforce. If you do decide to get a place here just remember that the Flagstaff Mall & surrounding areas smell like dog food. I think rent or buying property might be cheaper because of it. Something to consider before moving here.

Most of those things you mention are positives for me, I love the cold & snow, hate the heat & humidity. I've lived on Long Island my whole life, and the homeless here are very aggressive, I doubt the homeless are as brazen and prolific as New York. We used to get winters here but lately we don't as much. We haven't even had any measurable snow for over 660 days, in fact, the last measurable snowfall in Central Park, the oldest weather observation site in our area, was Feb 13, 2022! Yes it is a record. Been a lot of cloudy days & rain here. Bad for my mental health. I love lots of Pines and blue skies. I would consider moving to Flagstaff but the problem is because I have a lifelong mental disability I cannot work and have to rely on supportive housing programs and Social Security. When I look at Flagstaff it looks so much like the Pine Barrens here but with much nicer weather. Ponderosa Pines look a lot like Pitch Pines. One day I would love to visit Flagstaff that's for sure. Seems to be one of the best places in this Country to get a proper winter experience. It's just getting way too tropical in the East for my taste. Oh & College students, we got plenty of them here, don't mind that at all. Only negative for me about a place like Flagstaff is there's no large bodies of water, and no ocean beaches. But then again, when you don't have all that water around, there's less moisture, less clouds. Wildlife, I love wildlife. I hate when people move to less developed parts of Long Island and then complain about the wildlife. Skunks are adorable.

I love Flagstaff Arizona, Arizona from 1975 to 1980. I was a bit younger, but I loved it.

My parents were born and raised in flagstaff AZ at the foot of devils chair i was born there myself but raised in California flagstaff is a beautiful place I'm preparing to retire there.

During the 60s , my dad taught at Verde Valley School , but on weekends we'd go to our cabin in Fort Valley near Flagstaff. Back then we didn't have to put up with a lot of people and traffic. But we did have to put up with the cold and snow . That sometimes meant parking our car by the highway, and walking through the snow half a mile to the cabin, if the road hadn't been plowed. Many times, the water pipes would freeze. In spring the road turned to mud , so we'd still have to walk. And speaking of wild animals, our dog did get skunked !! Even with the hardships , I still miss that place. I now live in Oregon.

The road in front of the cabin was private, so if the guy who plowed the road in front didn't make it, we'd have to park the car and drag our stuff up to road to get to the cabin. My pipes never froze because we winterized every time we left in winter, even if only for a few days. And sometimes the power would go out and we'd need the wood stove. And the dog got skunked once to..

It's actually not the train, it's the huge PA system they've installed at the crossings which goes through this obnoxious bell ringing and horn honking routine. The train doesn't need to sound it's own horn. Also, there's a broken equipment problem. Most laundromats have a bunch of broken machines. Gyms have broken equipment and showers. Apparently there aren't enough tradespeople in Flagstaff and they have to come all the way from Phoenix, so getting things repaired is extremely difficult.

I don't mind living in old buildings, so if that is cheaper, that would be fine with me. Also, it's a college town, but is it one of those kinds of college towns where everything in the city- the culture, the venues, the dating scene- is geared toward people in their 20s? I'm 55. Is it easy for middle-aged people to meet and make friends with other people in their 40s, 50s and 60s? Are older people a minority?

I grew up in Flagstaff and have lived all over the Verde Valley as well. I consider myself an expert on Flagstaff climate, weather, and history. Since I was a kid, I always said Flagstaff has two wind seasons (spring and fall) and winter and summer. As mentioned by the author above, the worst is probably spring and definitely worst in Doney Park and areas east and west of town. In the old days farmers tried to grow beans and other crops, but the wind destroyed so many crops the farmers finally gave up. The incidence of an eye condition called pterygium (I have them) is extraordinarily high in Flagstaff natives. They are caused from long term exposure to UV rays (Flagstaff is so high up in elevation, UV rays do significantly more damage than at lower elevations) AND WIND. The enormous temperature range from the extreme heights of the San Francisco Peaks (tundra) to the high desert only about 15 miles away creates a daily localized wind especially in spring and fall when air masses with extreme temp variation flow through on the jet stream. For me personally I thought Flagstaff weather in the summer was divine (the monsoons are epic) and when I was young I loved the snow in the winter with melt offs between storms. As a kid I hated spring and fall because of the incessant winds and as I got older the winds were too much. I moved to Sedona where I have found a hell of a lot less wing probably due to being closely tucked in on the Mogollon rim. Sedona also has much less temperature range than Flagstaff where in the winter somedays you can go from low 50s to zero fahrenheit in less than half a day. Further down in elevation, say in Camp Verde, another 12 miles from Sedona and you can get into a long thin pocket of Mediterranean climate. Grapes and all sorts of other fruits and veggies can be grown in this zone and the climate is perfect for humans most of the year as well. Many people that live along the Verde River think it is paradise- especially those with green thumbs.

The shocker, the spocker and the Fist focker!

Just bought four lots in Park just west of Flagstaff. Moving from Hawaii and can't wait to do some snowboarding and possibly get a job up at Snowbowl. Wish me luck!

I am always suprised when people move to Nothern AZ from Hawaii because its so beautiful there, but I get inquiries from Hawaii a lot. Most people I've talked to cite the outrageous cost of living as primary reason they leave Hawaii.
