Really considering Flagstaff because I crave the sunshine! I dont mind the snow! Currently in Washington state and the summers are great but the winters are just too dark and gloomy for me! I dont mind the cold it's just the darkness that gets to me!

Let me know if you'd like me to email you a list of homes for sale in Flagstaff. livinginnorthernarizona@gmail.com

Liked the format with 2 people, more conversational. Also like you pointing out the cons, so people know what they're getting into.

Thank you. For me it’s easier to film with a friend. We just write out a few points, turn On the camera, and talk

Non-homestead will bring property taxes even higher

$612K won’t be a problem for people from California

Probably the huge driver for the massive price increases in the last 2 years

June 2024 Reality Check: this community loves to discuss issues, procrastinating results sometimes for decades. If you look back every ten years for 40 years, the "unaffordable housing problem" is always discussed, still NOT RESOLVED. Many residents are section 8, due to housing costs. Most employers are inundated with immature, lazy, inexperienced college aged. Traffic generally sucks. Driving 5 miles along I40 to save time can be very hazardous. City council rubber stamps most projects. Massive over-development under way with no end in site. This town will be out of water sooner than later. We rely on Lake Mary exclusively, with scattered, expensive wells about. Summer weather only getting hotter. AZ resident since 1973, looking to leave before 2025. Good luck.

How's the well drilling there for those of us who are looking for raw land.?

Its hard to know, the risk is it might cost much more to drill than expected. I have heard you might be able to reach water from the Aquifer (did I spell that right?) at 1300 feet, but I've heard others complain about having to drill 2500 feet to hit water. I've heard quotes to drill ranging from $25 a foot to $58 until you reach water. To me that's scary, other people are more adventureous than I am.

@@livinginnorthernaz thanks for that perspective

I live here for one reason: snowboarding & proximity to Snowbowl. I hate the lefty liberal politics that is like a mind virus here. Wokeness overload. It's expensive: I work 2 jobs to survive. Housing costs are UNIMAGINABLE. & low end of prices get you absolute garbage living conditions. Traffic is a constant nightmare. Road work is a never-ending nuisance. Homelessness & vagrants are at EVERY exit & entrance to most shopping areas. Both walmart parking lots are virtual hotels & the proximity parking at the Woodland Village walmart stinks of urine on warm days. I avoid if at all possible. Too many other beautiful towns in AZ to truly consider Flagstaff. Do your research & spend A LOT of time here before you commit to the move. If you aren't a Uni student or aren't infected with wokeness you'll likely be miserable. My 2 cents.

I've just moved to Flagstaff, it's my fourth day here. The politics are AWFUL. Feels like everyone is brainwashed sometimes but it's good to know that there are still rational people here. Snowbowl was one of the only reasons I came here plus the scenery and weather. I'm not a student and I came here with three friends of mine so that makes things slightly cheaper but still the cost of living is ugly. Still urgently searching for a job. Might have to settle for whatever I can get for the moment. There's a lot to love and hate about this town. I think you described the situation here very well.
